[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ibis: [QB] My first exposure to Egyptian and Ancient Congo contact was in the comment section of a Youtube video that I currently can't remember. I didn't believe it at first, but when I researched ancient Egyptian trade routes, I found out that there was in fact trade between the ancient civilizations. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52882079186_4c12a4558b_h.jpg[/IMG] (source):https://www.libertarianism.org/columns/commerce-trade-ancient-africa-egypt#:~:text=A%20statuette%20of%20Osiris%20from,south%20of%20the%20Zambezi%20River. With this established,[/QUOTE]It's not established until you get to a primary source that documents the finding of a statuette of Osiris in Congo (then Zaire) and under what circumstances if this is true, the circumstances being highly relevant to determining, when such a statuette got there was it 20th century BC or was it 19th century AD ? And is it true at all? Where is this statuette? the first step is to see if there are any footnotes and you can see right above the footnote is [15] and [16] so we go to your link, Libertrainsism.com, to the article, COMMERCE AND TRADE IN ANCIENT AFRICA: EGYPT and scroll down to the references: 15. Quoted in Jean Leclant, “The Empire of Kush: Napata and Meroe,” General History of Africa Volume II ed. G. Mokhtar (Paris: UNESCO Publishing, 1990) pg. 278-297 16. Hamid Zayed “Egypt’s Relations with the rest of Africa,” General History of Africa Volume II ed. G. Mokhtar (Paris: UNESCO Publishing, 1990) pg. 136 ____________________________________ So here's 16, [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/d3/f5/M3PbJkuh_o.png[/IMG] p 136 https://archive.org/details/general-history-of-africa-vol-2/page/n3/mode/2up ^^ no further footnote, nothing leading us to documentation of this alleged find. The fact that it is printed in a book does not prove it's real This is reference 16 of the article in Libertrain.com Reference 15 is a whole later chapter “The Empire of Kush: Napata and Meroe,” p 278-297 That is about trade relation in general. It does not mention this statuette, just reference 16, this page above So a primary source is needed that documents the finding, supposedly, of this statuette before trying to consider if it has historical relevance. The book has pictures of some of the artifacts but not this one Here are the keywords that could be used in various combinations to try to see if there is some primary source document this in Congo (then Zaire) >> Osiris statuette statue seventh century 7th Thutmose III Zaire Congo Lualaba Kalmengongo Zambezi Hamid Zayed (author) [b]"A statuette of Osiris, dating from the seventh century before our era, was found in Zaire on the banks of the River Lualaba, near the confluence of the Kalmengongo; a statue inscribed with the cartouche of Thutmose III (—1490 to —1468) was found south of the Zambezi"[/b] _________________________________ ^ you may see this on various other websites, that is just all copying the same information We need an excavation record or museum, a primary source or news article around the time of discovery with details on who purportedly found a statue of Osiris in Congo and when. It's possible even though this was published by the U.N., the claim could have been a hoax [/QB][/QUOTE]
