Breh broke it down beautifully......
You just proved his point. Gerald Massey was about AE spirituality. He explains in the video the AE connection to the word. I think y'all just like disagreeing with shyt, just to do it.So funny when people push that 'Afrocentric' nonsense about this subject not realizing that ALL of it comes from 'White' men.
Google Gerald Massey and Godfrey Higgins if you doubt me.

lotty said:Anyway, did you see the link on walking across America I gave in the Ancient Egypt thread? The distance was much shorter then I thought. There is no doubt in my mind they were walking back, and forth, after reading that.
Why would I put my stock in DNA if it goes against common sense? To me it seems they have an agenda. If it goes against common sense, and what has been proven that could be done, only a fool would put stock into DNA. You know how many people are in your DNA alone? DNA is only good for recent people, and to give a clue who may be your ancestors, but it can't go in depth, so why would you put all of your stock into it? They can't test the millions of people who lived AE, just a few, and then compare that to people now. That is not something I would put a lot of stock in, so I use my common sense, and connect the dots.I disproved his point. Those two dudes are responsible for this whole 'theory' and both were absolutely wrong according to Egyptologists, archaeologists, and historians worldwide.
Evidence (DNA, archaeology, etc.) doesn't support that theory at all and it is nearly 3,000 miles from Egypt to Mauritania by plane.

lotty said:Archeology only goes by what they find, they might find something tomorrow that proves me right, or prove me wrong, but why would I base arguments only on what is found, when that always changes? Only a fool would do that.
lotty said:If I just follow historians, I would think nobody traveled within Africa. The story they always tell goes towards Europe, then elsewhere.
lotty said:I don't understand your point. It's 3,000 miles, but that still doesn't mean you can't get there by walking. I proved that already.
lotty said:You are still ignoring the fact that you can get from east to west within a year
1-Proving a race is not the same as proving being related to a certain group, especially when that group has been gone for thousands of years. Race is the easiest to prove, so like I wrote, I wouldn't put too much into DNA to prove certain things.Because it proved the Pharaohs were 'Black' which is common sense. It also proved that every ethnicity on the planet comes from Africa.
Nothing found thus far has proved you right.
This is false. Africans migrated to Asia first and had traveled within Africa for over 100,000 years.
There really was no need to go that far and comparing an overland trek through the present-day United States to an overland trek through Africa 5,000+ years ago isn't exactly valid.
It is just a red herring and defies logic. Egyptians had everything they needed within easy reach......
lotty said:If you believe they built pyramids, was deep spiritually, and had deep ways of communicating, how can you believe they would not travel within the land?
Just ignored where I wrote they could go along the coastline, right?Like I posted earlier, there's the second largest desert in the world blocking them from traversing from east to west and I never stated they didn't travel.
Comparing modern-day societal travels to those 5,000+ years ago is why you're having difficulties.
lotty said:Just ignored where I wrote they could go along the coastline, right?
You are funny!
How do you know they would have recorded it? Just because one group does something, it doesn't mean another would have done the same. I can't believe you just made that statement. The fact that their writing system, and spiritual beliefs were much different from the people you just named, and so many others, why would you believe they would no doubt record about the atlas mountains? It might not have been that important to them. We can see they were more focused on the sky, and deeper aspects of life. This is your problem, you think like people do today, and forcing this thinking on them, even though you can see they didn't think like us.That's another red herring. Had they done that, they'd have recorded the existence of the Atlas Mountains and Phoenicians wouldn't have been the first people to settle in Libya after the Berbers.
There is no evidence Egyptians traveled along the coast to get to Western Africa.
lotty said:How do you know they would have recorded it?
I think you are confused, those in power recorded things, I'm not just referring to them. You act like there weren't regular people who were Egyptians. Get out of the books, and use your common sense. A society is made up of people, not just the people who run the government. Now, I see why you are not getting me. I'm talking about the regular people of the land, which was in the millions over the years, not the few who controlled the societies.Egyptians recorded all their conquests/travels meticulously.
We could speculate forever, but the simple fact is there is no evidence to support Egyptians settling Western Africa.
