But are you sure that the Dynastic culture of Ancient Egypt arose from the Southern cultures of Predynastic Culture? Because after all i hardly think that the archaeological processes, conventions and procedures used to arrive at such a conclusion are somehow different from those used to arrive...

While i donot discount the importance of Northern cultures in egyptian history, are you trying to throw doubt on the idea that dynastic culture was a direct offshoot of the Southern Predynastic cultures?

Echoes of the Hamitic hypothesis. You are saying that the sophistication of A Group Nubians were the result somehow of outside influence from Egypt. Do you believe that Nubians or Africans to the south of Egypt simply lacked within themselves what it took to be sophisticated or create 'high...

Pottery similar in style being found throughout the Sahara, Algeria and Egypt simply supports my first point that the modern day political boundaries separating sudan from Egypt was not a factor in the Ancient world. These similarities came about as a common culture being shared by African...

I think you have misunderstood. What you need to consider is that the modern day political boundary separating Egypt from the modern day Sudan did not exixst in the ancient world. The Predynastic cultures of Ancient Egypt were a African cultural complex which originated most likely from the...

For a long time Ancient Egyptian culture was seen as nothing more than a transplant of South West Asia, the so called Middle East. It was assumed that all the major aspects of that civilzation arose from that region--the political systems; the religion and ofcourse the Agriculture systems...

In the world of Academia, the controversial question of the biocultural origins of Ancient Egypt has been largely defined as a struggle between the south as represented by The Horn of Africa, which is equated with 'black' or subsaharan Africa, and the North as represented by the northernmost...

I beg to differ. The persons who care are all those who choose to contribute to this thread, like i dunno--You.

Their argument is nothing more than a negative, and even negrophobic reaction to the growing scientific evidence that the AE's were biologically African. Dr Diop forced them to give up their moronic idea of AE's being dark skin caucasians, and later Dr Keita forced them to acknowledge that...
