[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: This is tired. I already said that the statement I made originally was wrong. Ok. I said it. [/QUOTE]Lol. Saying you are 'wrong' is meaningless, when you keep repeating these 'wrongness', and hence, not learning from the wrong. [QUOTE]Doug M: Done deal case closed. Its over.[/QUOTE]The case will only be closed if you deliver the requests made of you. Saying so, doesn't cut it. [QUOTE]Doug M: My point was and still is that Egypt, in putting volumes of information on the walls about everyday life, culture and relgious beliefs IN SCULPTED MONUMENTAL STONE, was unlike most civilizations in Africa.[/QUOTE]"putting volumes of art" on walls, is immaterial to the fact that stone use in architecture in Africa clearly transcends ancient Egypt. Nor is such use of art in African history, unique to Egypt. [QUOTE]Doug M: The point was and still is that the fact that they built so many monuments using very large stone blocks and on such a large scale allowed the monuments to survive along with the carved reliefs and give us more insight on the nature of African civilizations at such an early date than would be otherwise possible.[/QUOTE]Which 'facts' point to the idea that Egyptians used 'large stone blocks' for so many monuments outside of say, the pyramids and the sphinx, and how many of these monuments are there? [QUOTE]Doug M: Egypt is an extension of other ancient African civilizations, however much of the evidence for the overall nature of these civilizations prior to ancient Egypt has been lost, [b]leaving somewhat of a gap between the developments of the ancient Nile Valley and other parts of Africa.[/b][/QUOTE]Simple, and I reiterate, since it didn't soak in the first around: Ancient Nile Valley complexes draw from their ultimate East African origins, locally [i.e. in situ], as well as from eastern Saharan-Sahel regions. How do you suppose we know this? [QUOTE]Doug M: [b]We know that there were direct antecedants to Egyptian civilization in the Sudan[/b], but unfortunately much of the evidence is lost under lake Nasser.[/QUOTE]And how did you know this; just from a bunch of 'art on the walls' of monuments built from "huge" blocks of stone? [QUOTE]Doug M: Now I am sure you want to nit pick this to death and try and find any small flaw you can to sidetrack the discussion into something totally irrelevant.[/QUOTE]Your sleazy predictions is [i]what[/i] becomes irrelevant considering that you, quite bankrupt intellectually, keep repeating what you know to be in the wrong, so as you keep saying...like a broken record. [QUOTE]Doug M: However, I made my point and I am done with this issue in this thread.[/QUOTE]What point was that again? Feel free to demonstrate it with 'substance'. [QUOTE]Doug M: However, if you again want to go into another thread about stone building civilizations in Africa or resurrect that same old one, feel free to do so and I will contribute, as it will give others insight into the traditions of stone building in ancient Africa that they may not have known about.[/QUOTE]Do I sense a copout?
