‘The Africanity of Ancient Egypt.’

Posted on by

I recommend watching the following lectures. If like me, you did not know what these expert speakers reveal about the history of the African Continent in Ancient times, then what you learn is likely to alter your perspective about African civilizations and where the ancient Egyptians came from.

I first began to wonder about this when in the Summer, I came across Adam’s Calender in South Africa by chance, and then became aware of Nabta Playa. See my blog – ‘Challenging conventional wisdom about the past – How far back in time does Antiquity actually go?’

The migration to Egypt began in furthest antiquity, in the Horn of Africa – apparently induced by climate change.

In the first talk you will see an image of a stone at Nabta Playa in the Sahara.

Nabta Playa’s megalithic structures, including its stone circle, were built between approximately 4800 BC and 3600 BC, with the earliest alignments possibly dating to around 6270 BC.

The Dynastic Period of Ancient Egypt, began with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt at around 3100 BCE, and lasted until the Persian conquest in 343 BCE). 

Geologist Robert Schoch estimates that the Sphinx is much older than mainstream estimates.

His minimum estimate being around 7,000 years ago, and more realistically around 12,000 years ago.

While archaeological discoveries have revealed evidence of Neolithic settlements and farming communities dating back to this period 7,000 – 12,000 years ago in the region of the Nile Delta, which demonstrate an emerging level of societal organization and complexity, these were not the highly urbanized, state-level civilizations with monumental architecture like the later Dynastic periods. They were sophisticated Neolithic societies that formed the foundation for the later, and more complex civilization of ancient Egypt. 

If Robert Schoch is correct, then the Sphinx could not have been built by those who built the stone monuments at Nabta Playa, i.e. because they did not live in the region of the Nile Delta, nor by those living in a Neolitihc settlement, because according to archaeologists, the the people who inhabited the the Nile Delta at that time, did not erect any monuments.

So, who built the Sphinx?
