[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] The problem with the Egyptians is they wasted a lot of energy making useless mountains of stone and gigantic statues of kings. They were great artists though [/qb][/QUOTE]^^^^ admittedly overly negative. They were also fantastic engineers, architects, written language innovators, argrcicultural and grain storage technologists, invented papyrus sheets, [IMG]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm122/photowebber/Kmt/removedsectionnowinthelouvreofamenh.jpg[/IMG] However I feel people get so obssessed on Egypt because of it's links to Western culture, influence on the Greeks etc, possible influence on Abrahamic religion, monumental stone work. It can get to the point of a continued disassociation, even embarassment about West Africa. I prefer to look at African culture on it's own terms not trying to justify it by the fact that other cultures outside of Africa were influenced by it [/QB][/QUOTE]
