I suppose I could go on with other examples. To understand the history of Africans, the peopling of the continent is a must know, not to mention linguistic reconstructions, and chronology of cultural processes such as those of economy or subsistence. The key to avoid making incorrect observations about Africans, is to thoroughly research Africa. [/qb][/QUOTE]Ok, if you want to be TECHNICAL, unlike MOST African cultures, the Egyptians built in stone and left lasting images of their religious ceremonies and processions for us to observe. Even though there were OTHER cultures in Africa that built in stone, NONE other than Egypt, carved images into stone of daily scenes of life and worship. MOST African cultures DID NOT build in stone regardless. Or do you have evidence to the contrary? Please, come off your grandstand or whatever it is trying to correct me over such a SMALL issue. If it is that siginificant show me more than a HANDFUL of cultures in ancient Africa that built in stone like the Egyptians... [/QUOTE]Why not come off your grandstone and READ. I just provided you examples, and yet, you still don't get it. Do I have to spoon-feed you everything? Ps - I suggest you browse through the Nile Valley forum, to actually learn [b]something[/b] about African cultures! [/QB][/QUOTE]Browse the Nile Valley for what? It isn't that I did not KNOW that there were other cultures that built in stone, including those of Meroe, but that MOST African cultures DID NOT and therefore whatever evidence we could gather about them is proably decayed and gone. My point still stands unless you can PROVE otherwise. You are trying to act as if I was omitting a HUGE number of cultures that built in stone in Africa. The number of cultures that built in stone in Africa is relatively small versus those that did not. And of the ones that did, only Egypt and Meroe/Kush left inscriptions carved into the stone that would last thousands of years and allow us to see what their religious ceremonies and other aspects of daily life looked like. To me Meroe is an extension of Egyptian culture (or vice versa), so outside of those, WHICH culture in Africa left stone monuments with detailed carvings of daily life and culture on the scale of Egypt?
