[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [qb] Getting back topic,i seen that book before “Ancient Egypt in Africa” but have not read it yet. I still plan to. [/qb][/QUOTE]Its not a bad book, except I don;t know why people like Martin Bernal get an essay. He seems to add very little to the topic. Its Egypt IN Africa, not Egypt in Greece or any such Black Athena notions. People like Van Sertima who has extensive data that could be brought to bear don;t appear, but the tangential Bernal does. Curious.. And of course there is Macdonald and Diop but MacDonald himself notes broad connections across African regions, including [i]"a Trans-Saharan Pastoral Technocomplex dating to between 3800 and 1000 BC. Material support for this notion comes from a shared set of valued objects (notably small stone axes and stone rings), as well as a common pastoral economy and stylistically similar tumuli, which ultimately stretched from Kerma (Sudan) in the east to Dhar Tichitt (Mauritania) in the west. "[/i] from: MacDonald, KC; (1998) Before the Empire of Ghana: Pastoralism and the Origins of Cultural Complexity in the Sahel. In: Connah, G, (ed.) Transformations in Africa: essays on Africa's later past. (71 - 103). [/QB][/QUOTE]
