Compared to Egypts extended ties to the Assyrians, mittani, Greeks, Persians, etc that's not even worth mentioning tbh.
Everybody gets stuck on continental placement but in terms of sheer distance, Greece, for example, is closer to Egypt than Somalia. They were a more familiar people to them.
no shytChinese civilization goes back to around 2100 b.c. and Egyptian geometry and mathematics was basic and rudimentary compared to that of greece and India. Egypt never produced a mathematical mind on the same level of Euclid. Not then, not now, not ever.
This reads like a goal-shift post. You're the one who tried to diminish african history by claiming they had no interest in interacting with other african civilizations but now you're saying others are stuck on continental placement
And what does geographical distance have to do with anything? We're talking about influence, the ancient egyptians referred to the Land of Punt as the "land of gods" and viewed it as their ancestral homeland. Thats my neck of the woods
fukk outta here b you are clearly posting with an agenda
Will you shut the fcuk up. You're the laughing stock of this thread.Compared to Egypts extended ties to the Assyrians, mittani, Greeks, Persians, etc that's not even worth mentioning tbh.

Indian engineering......
long lasting Greek architecture.....
meanwhile egyptians built this thousands of years before....
people can't even replicate these pyramids today
yet Indian and greek geometry was superior
Euclid is famous for writing a textbook. Most of the geometrical concepts that he presented were already known. oh and he was born in Alexandria, Egypt, hence it is obvious where he got his information from.
They did have philosophy though. Every culture has philosophy. It just hasn't survived to us.

The only reason you think I'm posting with an agenda is because your views are being put under a spotlight and aren't holding up to scrutiny. They are only effective in an echo chamber. Screaming from the hilltops that Egypt created everything and that that Greeks and everyone else owe all their achievements to them doesn't make it true, it makes you sound stupid and delusional.
It's not diminishing African history to point out that Egypt had more in common with their peers in the near East. You can talk about punt all you want, nobody even knows for sure where that was. LMAO@ your neck of the woods. For all we know it was in Yemen or some shyt. Talking about Punt is like talking about the Garden of Eden, it's pure speculation. But we do know who the Egyptians traded with, we know who they had diplomatic ties with, we know who their a-alikes were period...that isn't speculation.

Euclid is famous for the fifth postulate, an established mathematical axiom in geometry. Indians introduced the concept of zero and the decimal system....again, things that are in use and beneficial to all of humanity TODAY. Indus valley engineering and city building and civic life was far greater than Egypts at any point in it's history. The Greek and Indian contributions to mathematics aren't a secret to anyone, no matter how many pictures of pyramids you post it doesn't bolster any of your rhetoric. Sorry breh. AS mentioned before Egypt's buildings are still standing because of the climate and supply of good stone which was a blessing for them. Egypt was a great civilization but once again you need to dead all the hyperbole and join the rest of us in reality.
At this point I'll have to assume that you're either retarded or insane.
You've been bodied multiple times in this thread and yet you still come up for more embarrassment.
Free advice; please log off you're now boring us stiff.

That may be so, but our philosophies have survived thanks to the grace of our sages and gurus. Others have been passed by the wayside or destroyed entirely. Ours is the only ancient way of life left on this rock called earth, and that is only because this dharma is eternal. You should be proud of that and adjust accordingly.

reconstruction of Mohenjo-daro, India/Pakistan
actual ruins
pretty much a glorified village, just had large amounts of people (like India today)
compare that to Memphis, capital city of Lower Egypt, and epicenter of the world at the time
or the reconstruction of the karnak tenple and surrounding area of Thebes

This question is a paradox breh
Egypt was more advanced then Sumeria. Greece was more advanced then Egypt because they built off the scientific and mathematic foundations of Egypt. Rome was more advanced then Greece etc.
During its peak, it was the most advanced civilization

Where can I read about this?
Too much has survived for my liking as actual practice instead of just words in books. The worship of dead ancestors and caste are two things I sincerely wish were just left to history books instead of being active practices.
The interesting thing about Indian culture is how foreign invaders (aside from the British) assimilate into Indian culture and make India their homeland. From the Greeks to the Mughals, everybody who came into India became Indianized to greater or lesser extent, and I think that has played a significant role in the resilience of Indian culture.
Our main source for the idea that the Egyptians hated the Achaemenid Persians comes from histories of Alexander, which is why I'm not so certain that they actually hated the Achaemenids. The narrative goes that the Egyptians hated them and welcomed Alexander as a liberator from Persian rule, and gratefully accepted him as their ruler. That type of story perfectly suits Alexander's agenda. It may well be that they didn't like the Persians at all, but I don't see them being very happy to exchange one foreign overlord for another.

You can't use CGI images taken from Assassin's Creed to make a point like that
besides nobody disputes the claim that the Egyptians were the best architects in the world prior to the Iron Age. Egyptian architects and craftsmen were so famous that after conquering Egypt, Darius took as many as he could back to Persia to build Persepolis and make it the most beautiful city in the world.
