[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: Quote: [i]Modern archaeological, climatic, and genetic analysis shows a complex history for the peopling of ancient Egypt. [b]Archaeological evidence suggests that during the Last Glacial Maximum (22,000-10,500 YBP) the Saharan desert was void of any settlements outside of the Nile Valley. The evidence suggests that most humans living there were concentrated along what is now the Egypt-Sudan border (Nubia).[/b] With a climatic shift (the arrival of monsoon rains) around 10,500 YEP, the hyper-arid desert was replaced by savannah-type habitats that were swiftly settled by prehistoric farmers. Afrer 9,000 YBP, human settlement was well established all over the eastern Sahara. By 7,300 YBP, retreating monsoonal rains and the onset of desertification led to the migrations of humans out of the eastern Sahara --south into what is modern Sudan, as well as into the Nile Valley. [/i] [qb]This is great. This is what I tried to tell Zarahan and Djehuti in [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009284]this thread[/URL] and Beyoko/Swenet/Truthcentric (our favorite white forumites) at other times, but they wouldn't listen. Based on archaeology, the people who were in the western desert in pre-dynastic time were the same people who were living in the Sudan-Egypt border before. So we're talking, in pre-dynastic time, of back and forth movement of the ancestors of Ancient Egyptians between the Nile and the Western Desert. The Eastern Sahara and Western Egyptian desert is where we can find the cultural, archaeological and biological, origin of Ancient Egyptians!! [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually NOBODY denied there was continuity between the people of the LGM Nile Valley and dynastic Nile Valley, but I would add it wasn't just these people since during the Holocene wet phase when North Africa became fertile again there were other African populations who grew and expanded hence why there are cultural connections with West Africa as well. Really I don't know what your complaint is. If Graves denies that these peoples were black, then that is his problem. [/QB][/QUOTE]
