[/QUOTE]Writing, architecture, landscaping, science and so on.[/QUOTE]Can you examine in relative detail how these cultural traits *directly* come from Ancient Egypt, and accordingly, how they couldn't have arrived from elsewhere. Also, elaborate on the "so on", if you will, please. [QUOTE]Doug M. writes: Put it this way, the culture of Northwest Africa from after the Muslim invasions was a product of older cultural traditions from Egypt mixed with Persian and Greek elements. However, [i]the culture and style of the North African Islamic culture was distinct from that elsewhere in the Islamic world and much of that distinction comes from the local traditions that influenced the Islamic community in North Africa.[/i] And the most prominent of the local cultural traditions was that of Egypt. [i]A lot of the cultural traditions in North West Africa actually trace their roots back to North East Africa and the Sahara.[/i][/QUOTE]Not an unreasonable observation. [/qb][/QUOTE]Arabic writing is derived from the Egyptian writing. The gardens of Morocco and North West Africa with pools other features are MOST SIMILAR to the gardens of ancient Egypt which also featured pools and channels. The science of the Moors was taken from the science of older cultures, which included Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
