[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] First off, I NEVER said that there were NO other cultures in Africa that built in stone. You are getting me ALL WRONG. Kudos for the photos, I appreciate posts, since they are VERY informative. Most of the cultures you posted I ALREADY know about, except for the Swahili ones or the ones of the Nok. The POINT was that you were quibbling over every word I said and MISUNDERSTANDING the WHOLE point. NONE of those other ruins has any CARVINGS of DAILY LIFE AND CEREMONIES. Therefore, most of what we know about their dress, daily life and ceremonial customs comes from artifacts that are prone to DECAY, moreso than the IMAGES found on Egyptian structures. So, bottom line, do you feel that these cultures that built in stone represent MOST cultures in Africa. I think not. As a matter of fact, I can say with ALL certainty that MOST cultures in the word, in ancient times, DID NOT BUILD IN STONE. But of course, you think Africa is DIFFERENT..... And NO I dont HAVE to list all ancient cultures of the world to KNOW this. Look at it this way, I believe that MOST cultures in Africa were hunter gatherers and pastorial nomads, who RARELY settled down LONG ENOUGH to build such structures. But back to the thread and the topic. None of these structures ALONE allow us to glimpse daily life and activity the way you see in Egypt, except for the monuments of Aksum and Meroe, which are RELATED to Egypt anyway. [/QB][/QUOTE]
