But the term is not always used in it's strictest use. The term means king generally. http://www.randomhouse.com/acmart/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780553384901&view=printexcerpt Wilkinson might have said: Here are to be found the [b]origins of royal Egyptian[/b] stone carving-in the prehistoric Western Desert, among wandering cattle herders, a millennium and more before the beginning of the First Dynasty. Archaeologists have been forced to rethink their theories of Egypt's origins. However I don't see evidence to call Nabta Playa royal Egyptian stone carving. The statement should be [b]Here is evidence of megalithic stone carving-in the prehistoric Western Desert,[/b] among wandering cattle herders, a millennium and more before the beginning of the First Dynasty. Archaeologists have been forced to rethink their theories of Egypt's origins. [/QB][/QUOTE]
