[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [b]Shared cosmological and beliefs system between Nabta Playa and Ancient Egypt:[/b] [IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y421/amunratheultimate2/Misc/NabtaPlayaandAncientEgypt-CosmologicalandBeliefssystem_zps7f51ebcb.jpg[/IMG] Ancient Egyptian magic and religion, and the material record of the Nabtan culture reflects a [b]regional connectedness of the Saharan people[/b]. Ancient Egypt is truly and fundamentally a child of the Sahara. A child of the wet Sahara. A child of the green Sahara. A child of Africa. In textual form: [b]The ceremonial center at the settlement of Nabta reflected the cosmological underpinnings of belief systems central to ancient Egyptian magic and religion, and the material record of the Nabtan culture reflects a regional connectedness of the Saharan people. It is clear that the Nabtans had affiliations with the incipient Predynastic Egyptian civilization emerging in the Nile Valley [Hoffinan, 1991; Rice, 2003]. Were the desert people at Nabta the original celestial observers, the progenitors of profound ideologies that shaped the later civilization in the dynasties of Egypt? The available chronologies for the Neolithic settlement at Nabta substantiate the deep antiquity of a connection with the skies and derivative symbolic ideologies. Recurrent themes that seem to have been important to these nomadic pastoralists include, water, death, stars, cattle, and the sun, all of which persisted as important motifs in Dynastic Egypt.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
