[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yonis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kenndo: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [qb] In terms of architecture, AE seems to be worlds apart from the rest of Africa in Antiquity. The same is true in terms of naturalistic art, glassware and writting. However, these are superficial differences that can occur rapidly due to trade as well as local inventiveness. What is important is that there are significant cultural similarities between AE and the rest of Africa. Still this thread seems to be silly. Point is that the rest of Africa, outside of the Nile Valley, does not have a great deal of artifacts showing advance architectural understanding that is remotely similar to AE in antiquity. However, the absence of evidence is not proof of abscence. [/qb][/QUOTE]let's not forget nubia was almost the same in terms of art,architecture,writing etc etc,but there was a difference a well and more of a difference during the late napatan and more so later periods.nubian art became more naturalistic than egypt's and i mean egypt before the greeks. nubia art became more like greek art and roman art in the meritioc and later periods.glass was used too and writting was almost the same except the meriotic writing and later ones. axum was the not as close as egypt but had these things that almost reminds you of egypt but it's culture was more different than egypt or nubia.of course they had their own writing,art etc, etc. so when you mean the rest of africa in ancient times, nubia and axum is apart of it. i just want to make that clear. egypt during the old kingdom was the most advanced culture as you know but that change when egypt conqured nubia and more so when nubia freed itself. napatan culture was as advance and more advanced later and later nubia more so. axum too.easten sudan as well and senner of course sennar is apart of nubia,and i think darfur was a civilization in late ancient times as well but i could be wrong and dafur only became a civilization in medieval times. I thought you would know that by now with all the info posted here and books that are out. [/qb][/QUOTE]Whoa! Modesty my friend! whatever civilization you're talking about, their is no need for you to emphasize them so extremely, all nations have their own pride. These kind of posts only reveals inferiority complex. Their is no reason for you to prove yourself in such extreme way in a damn forum. Seriously you don't have to respond to BS. [/QB][/QUOTE]
