[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] [QUOTE]Archaeological evidence also strongly supports an African origin. A widespread northeastern African cultural assemblage, including distinctive multiple barbed harpoons and pottery decorated with dotted wavy line patterns, appears during the early Neolithic (also known as the Aqualithic, a reference to the mild climate of the Sahara at this time). Saharan and Sudanese rock art from this time resembles early Egyptian iconography. Strong connections between Nubian (Sudanese) and Egyptian material culture continue in later Neolithic Badarian culture of Upper Egypt. Similarities include black-topped wares, vessels with characteristic ripple-burnished surfaces, a special tulip-shaped vessel with incised and white-filled decoration, palettes, and harpoons... Other ancient Egyptian practices show strong similarities to modern African cultures including divine kingship, the use of headrests, body art, circumcision, and male coming-of-age rituals, all suggesting an African substratum or foundation for Egyptian civilization.." - [i]The Oxford encyclopedia of ancient Egypt,Volume 3. Oxford University Press. p. 28[/i] [/QUOTE]Everything in this could be considered. Divine Kingship, headrests, body arts, rituals, etc. As well as the shared origin and history in (North-)Eastern Africa and the green Sahara. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LMAO[/b] :D Apparently you don't realize that the source you cited was speaking largely of [b]Sudanese[/b] cultures i.e. successors of the Khartoum Mesolithic, and nowhere did it say anything about West African cultures! I bet I can actually name more specific West African customs than you, and not general customs which are found all over the continent! [QUOTE]Amun-Ra The Ultimate wrote: [qb] What they are trying to avoid: I hope people can see what [i]Tukuler, Swenet, Djehuti[/i] and other racists are trying to do here on this forum in general. It's the same trickery used by horn supremacists before (probably from the same people). 1- They find a proxy caucasian populations in Africa (admixed, back migrations, etc) 2- Declare them African, black or whatever 3- Then claim Ancient Egyptians are closer to them but not to other Africans like West Africans or Great Lakes people. It's like there's 2 races of African or something. Then it's just a etymological trickery about what we call African, not truly about the shared heritage (history, culture, origins, etc) of African people and Ancient Egyptians. [/qb][/QUOTE]So why don't you provide actual examples of I or others doing the above! Quote actual posts where we say such things!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
