[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obelisk_18: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Myra Wysinger: [qb] [b]Headrest History:[/b] "The oldest known headrests of Africa are from ancient Egypt. They first seem to appear around the time of the Second or Third Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, that is, around 2600 B.C." (Petrie, 1927:33). For early sub-Saharan headrests, Flinders Petrie, the noted Egyptologist, who is famously known as "The Father of Prehistory", asserts in his book [i]Objects of Daily Use[/i]. London: British School of Archaeology in Egypt, 1927, p. 36: "There seem to have been two introductions of the idea into Egypt, one in the Second-Third Dynasties, another in the Seventeenth-Eighteenth Dynasties. In the latter, there is no question of strong African influence; and by the portrait of Zeser [Pharaoh Djoser], the Third Dynasty, has been supposed to be of southern origin. It may be that the head rest, so characteristic of Africa at present, was twice introduced into Egypt from African sources, coming first with the fluted columns of the step pyramid age." . [/qb][/QUOTE]See kids, even Petrie, the creator of the infamous Dynastic Race theory, admitted the africanness of ancient egypt, for example in the um, headrests. [/QB][/QUOTE]
