And those times that was a common practice. Many aspects of their culture are very similar so what we're living in now. Virginity is not sacred abortions are cool women are freaky and you can smash your relatives no problemHow do you get to pin that on me?

You got any interesting reads on the Dogon?Sounds like a downward spiral in consciousness....that's what the star Sirius B and it's orbit is all about. The Dogon of Mali have this ancient knowledge that goes back to the Hapi Valley.

Even Phillip k dikk gives them credit. The early Christians took the fish sign from them but that Fish has the same meaning across cultures synonymous with serpent or dragon (nun, nunu nommo)
Obviously. Most of Sub-Saharan africa descended from Egypt. Subsaharan Africa shares too many similarities with Kemet for it to be coincidental. Except for pygmy brehs.
Cheik actually goes into historical accounts from Nubian, and Greek contemporaries that sailed down the west and East coast of Africa pre-Rome. They noted an especially short race of wooly haired, sun burnt people on the coasts. It is assumed that they were the original southern inhabitants
Egypt likely was a cultural hub for all Ancient African groups and they all influenced each other to some degree. Most AA for example descend from the Mande tribes this includes the Dogon who orally trace their history to Egypt (though the Dogon managed to avoid the slave trade.)
The Mande people’s pre Islamic practices seem to share some similarities to Egyptian religion in deities and roles

Some of the cultural similarities between the Mande and the Egyptians are so strong that authors theorized that they had a joint civilization before the rise of Egypt.

It’s very likely that all progenitors of all modern African groups were regularly traveling and interacting with one another in Egypt and exchanging cultural practices and beliefs.
People lived in west Africa before Egypt existed so I fail to see how Egypt is relevant here or some kind of origin story
Some knowledge was preserved and built upon, but why did Africans lose their leading position in math/science?
And West Asia (Mesopotamia) is documented to have influenced Ancient Egypt and Greece....

Looks to me like Egypt (or maybe just upper Egypt) was peopled from the south (once the Sahara became too dry for even seasonal settlements) and that, when the persians came, they simply fled back to their (southern) homeland.
Not tryna get in no arguments bc i legit do not care personally either way. My interest is purely historical.
According to legends what is now Egypt was once underwater and when it became dry land it was peopled by Nubia and Ethiopians. This is going back thousand upon thousand of years.
Ngl the Egypt think always feels like a reach to me. Like nikkas want it to be true more so than it is.
The logic seems to be:
"Ancient Egypt is historically one of the greatest civilizations in the world"
"Egypt is in Africa"
"Black folks are from Africa and I'm Black"
"Therefore I MUST be descendants of Ancient Egyptiansparticularly the era when they did all the cool shyt too"
*Nevermind the fact that Egypt was far AF from my recent African ancestors*
"Let me look up a whole bunch of babble and pseudoscience to back up a claim made solely out of emotion"
Just my interpretation of this theory but I dont know enough or care enough to argue about it.
Leasy said:Well ancient Sumer was built by Ethiopians who traveled to that region and there is a folklore of them coming on boats building the civilization. They were known as the blackheads.
Sumer arose independently. Much like the Indus Valley Civilisation. In fact, they had extensive trade with each other.Archaeology and linguistics, not folklore, proves Sumerian civilization precedes Ethiopian civilization and wasn't built by them, but was more likely a result of Indus Valley/West Asiatic migration.
