That picture isn't indicative of any relationship between these states.
Denial? I just said that apart from the physical characteristics on the statue (big flat nose, etc.), the headset design on it is very similar to the helmets worn by Nubian soldiers of that era. I'm going to try to find a book that lost that goes into detail about it further.
What reason is there to believe that Jesus didn't have green skin? Very little. Except there is also precious little evidence to show that he did.
That same assertion can't be compared to the notion that Africans didn't/couldn't get to the New World. Another example I can bring up is that of a mid-sized sailing yacht that was discovered in the Great Pyramids decades ago. When it was discovered archeologists found that not only did it have a very advanced deisgn to it's construction, but also that it was incredibly sturdy given how it was almost completely intact with no wear. Subsequently they postulated that some theories about the Egyptians having been able to sail accross the Atlantic might have had some merit if they built the same kind of ships on a somewhat larger scale.
Quite frankly, just because something was technically possible does not mean it happened. And there is no good evidence to support the idea that the Nubians/Egyptians had any cultural contacts with Maya/Aztecs/Inca/Olmecs etc.
There's plenty of evidence, the only problem is that much of the archeological community has been indoctrinated into dismissing it just as readily as you have over many years. I'll try to find that book.
Correct. In fairness to AtG, there are people with less nutty theories than him that believe similar things though. What is common to all of them is a lack of any strong evidence.
Too be honest i've never heard of him, but I have taken an African Studies course on the subject, and since then i've been convinced that there is more than evidence to give the Egyptians and Nubians far more credit than they deserve in regards to their contributions to civilization. Moreso than any other ancient civilization, including the Greeks, Sumerians, etc.
As a matter of fact most Egyptian fleets were phoenicians. The circunnavigation of Africa (which is oftenly offered as an evidence) was performed by Carthaginian sailors.
Correct and not correct at the same time, the Carthaginians were the descendents of a Phoenician colony, and if you dig back further than that you'll find that the Phoenicians themselves had their roots from an Egyptian colony. However when put into the context of the time period such an expedition would've taken place the sailors would've still been counted as Egyptian.
About Nubians it is unknown to me their ability to sail. I am not been sarcastic. I am only saying I have no information on Nubian navigation.
I'll try to find some, although given the fact that Egypt (or Kemet as it should be known) was established by the Nubians, that should give an indication towards their level of advancement. In terms of relation they were very much like the Britain and America of Africa in that the latter was able to grow more powerful than the other in a much more peaceful manner, and on very good terms.
and yes I have heard that the Egyptians may have crossed the Atlantic. What about the Atlanteans?
Just a sidenote about that, but the whole notion of the Atlanteans being said to have established the civilizations in the Americas is rooted in more realistic terms. The Aztecs had a legend that pointed to their ancestors being the survivors of a calamity who sailed accross the ocean and discovered a new place to settle. But if you compare that to historical notes there is reason to believe that their ancestors were Egyptian colonists. Even though there isn't really any evidence to support this because the Conquistadors and others left no real remains of the Aztecs and other empires they conquered.
Tangerine, the Atlanteans were nothing more than myth. I don't mind if you 'have heard' of the Egyptians crossing the Atlantic. they had not, as far as we know.
It may be rooted in myth, but I would bet good money that there is some truth to it. If you look at the modern Mexican flag you can see a depiction of an Eagle with a snake in it's hand, it's based off of an Aztec legend, which in itself can be traced back to the Egyptians.
