[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] So what? A zillion countries have black soil. The issue isn't soil. The issue is people. [QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.nilevalleyherbs.com/agri1.jpg[/IMG] The fertile dark colored [i][b][URL=http://www.]PEOPLE[/URL][/b][/i] of the Nile Valley pictured above played a vital role in the development of Dynastic Egypt.) [/QUOTE]A full four years later and all written [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/Forum8/HTML/001346.html]here[/URL] still hasn't sunk in and you still [b][i]dialectically[/i][/b] hold to KM.t[nwt] refering to Nile silt enriched soil. Please follow the link to the [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/Forum8/HTML/001346.html]The Soil Project thread[/URL] and refresh yourself or provide mdw ntjr evidence of Kmtyw themselfs linking KM.t to soil. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] There are some people who question whether there was any black land at all in Egypt, but I have seen actual photos and video footage of the Nile's fresh alluvial silt on the banks that give a black color. Here is a pic of deposits after Sudanese Nile flooding. [IMG]http://www.mercycorps.org/photos/photo1186515271.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]^ the later picture of the silt saturated nile is also funny - since the resultant "reddish-brown" color is similar to the skin tone often found in egyptian paintings. Eurocentric contradiction number 2898768973: -> silt of a given colour can be 'black', but skin of the same colour can only be 'reddish brown', at least when depicting Ancient Egyptians. [reddish brown - a european color-term that, *unlike black*, has no basis in the Kemetian primary text, and as reference to the Kemetian - ie "Black" people of ancient egypt.] :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
