Wlad is not a top 20 HW, he has never beaten anyone of significance

Didn't you just get done telling us that they were Semitic/Arab/White?

Why do you keep changing your tune?

Here are some even better questions.

Where did Ancient Egyptian culture originate?

The people who would come to create the Egyptian state and found the first cities in Egypt, where did they come from?

Where is the first Nome of Ancient Egypt?

 

You seem to be on both sides of the fence here. So which one is it? Are Ancient Egyptians Arab or not?

 

First and foremost, your source is *not* credible. Second, it contradicts your argument. Here are some quotes from YOUR source;

And BTW, the "Hamatic" theory was debunked a long time ago. The fact that you would cite a source which relies on that theory only shows your ignorance on the subject.

 

I have no problem with you calling the Mesoamerican pyramids "step pyramids". You're tilting at windmills here.

As I very clearly said in my posts above, I want you to post a source stating that a step pyramid -- especially a giant one like Cholula, but any step pyramid will do -- is significantly less advanced than a pointy pyramid.

Not just that it came later, and not just that it was a little more advanced.

We're not ultimately talking about which "classification system" to use, or the words you want to attach to a particular pyramid. We're talking about a culture's ability to actually construct the thing.

Do you know what pointy pyramid construction involves -- why it's difficult to build them compared to step pyramids? What knowledge does a society need before building a pointy pyramid versus a step pyramid?

:rofl

Now I know you're just stalling. Read the thread.

Again, did you not read the thread?

The Babylonians had more sophisticated mathematics than the Egyptians. They had experience with monumental engineering projects. Both the Babylonians and Sumerians had wheels, which the Egyptians didn't until the Hyksos brought them. In fact, I suspect that you can't point to one technology relevant to pyramid-building that the Egyptians had that the Babylonians (or Sumerians) did not.

Moreover, the Babylonians, Sumerians, and Egyptians were all more advanced than the Mesoamericans, who also built pyramids. According to your "classification system", the Mesoamerican pyramids equal the Step Pyramid of Djoser, so that automatically gives the Babylonians and Sumerians more than enough knowledge to build a Djoser-style pyramid.

Basically, though, I don't think that you'll accept any "proof", no matter how compelling. If I said that early 20th century Americans could build the pyramids, you'd reply "No they couldn't! That's just speculation! They didn't build any in real life! Skyscrapers aren't comparable to pyramids!"

 

I'm beginning to think your demands for sources are just a reflex, divorced from any actual need for information. There was absolutely no reason to ask for me for a "source" to prove that the National Geographic cover posted by another person referred to the Kushite Pharaohs.

But since you asked, here's the link to National Geographic website:

[url]http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/02/black-pharaohs/robert-draper-text[/url]

In fact, if you look at the magazine cover itself, it says in big block letters "CONQUERORS OF ANCIENT EGYPT", which would tend to imply that the Black Pharaohs mentioned in National Geographic were not native Egyptians.

See?

 

Is the pyramid debate still going on here?
Why is it so important for yo guys to know who built the pyramids and what race they were? The Egyptians were slaves back then and the extraterrestrials ruled the world so what's the matter?

 

No, it's not.

Proof that you idiots do NOT read your sources.

Do you even know who SOY Keita is or what his stance on Ancient Egypt is?

I think not.

You idiots just blindly paste links without reading the content or citing the relevent text.

What excuses do you have now?​

 

I asked for a source.

Either provide one or concede that you are clueless on the subject.

 

Please give me an example of a tropically adapted indigenous African people who are not considered "Black".

Don't worry, I'll wait...

 

Source please.

 

Ok the extrateresstrials used the egyptians to enslave other nations.
Better?
Thing is no human race would have been able to build the pyramids without technology that maybe we still do not know today, and I cannot imagine how the people at that time knew how to produce electric light. If you think you can explain how humans could have built the pyramids, then please explain to me Puma Punku in Bolivia then.

 

Sorry but I can't take the above seriously. Please try making a coherent argument if you wish to continue this debate. All you've done so far is SPECULATE on the issue. You have given NO PRIMARY SOURCES on which to base your argument. Therefore, your argument is baseless and without merit - and as such is no longer worthy of my time.

Source please.

Source please.

Source please.

 

:rofl

You asked for a source proving that the National Geographic "Black Pharaohs" article referred to the Kushites.

I posted the National Geographic magazine article, which says that the "Black Pharaohs" were Kushites. In other words, exactly what I said it proved.

Frankly, I'm beginning to doubt whether you read my posts at all. Do you already have your responses cued up on Microsoft Word to copy-and-paste before I even write my posts? It's astonishing that I can post exactly the source you ask for, which indisputably proves exactly what you asked it to prove, and you can pretend that the source doesn't exist when it's right there in front of you.

 

Now you are just being blatantly dishonest. Let's go back and see exactly what I asked for.

Please feel free to back this assertion with the relevent evidence.
