[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] It is a shame, but back when I was a kid, I remember seeing a lot of National Geographic shows about Africa that I can NOW say showed clear links between Egypt and Africa. There are other pieces of information I have found in papers, magazines and other places that also show how Africa is the mother of Egyptian civilization. Things I hav noticed: 1) Tribes that stage elaborate ceremonies with boats on rivers celebrating kings, the gods or both (with similar styles to AE boats). (I saw this at a African festival about 15 years ago) 2) Tribes where the people wear loin cloths and other clothing very similar to AE depictions. (Various national geographic tv spots) 3) Tribes with hairstyles very similar to AE hairstyles. (same as above) 4) Priests as far south as South Africa who wear garb EXACTLY like the priests in AE art (animal skins, scepters, feathers, etc). (news articles) 5) Cultures that feature gold as a significant part of their cermonies and culture. (magazines, etc) 6) The use of masks in ceremonies to reperesent gods and animal spirits. (same as above) 7) Tribes that use totems and standards to represent various dieties and symbols of kingship. (same) 8) The wearing of flat broad necklaces around the neck, quite similar in style those in AE. (same) 9) All manner of headresses similar to those from AE. (same) Unfortunately it is hard to put all this into a comprehensive set of definative references, but my suspicion is that anthropologists and others who have studied Africa have known these things ALL ALONG, but keep it SEPARATE from Egyptian history/culture on purpose. [/qb][/QUOTE]Doug, a list of similarities between Egypt and the rest of Africa has been created, duplicated, and edited here in this forum dozens of times! [/qb][/QUOTE]Why dont you direct that at the thread starter? Or is there something I am missing? [/QB][/QUOTE]
