> The other is the seemingly strong conclusion that Ancient Egyptians did in fact move to Egypt from Mesopotamian which is pretty cool. What strong conclusion? You "skim" the article and feel justified making outlandish politicized statements? > They claim their own unique, uninterrupted, history and connection to the land as well as their civilizational independence from Mesopotamian, Asia Minor, Europe, and Africa. As does everyone else and which is true for the most part. Does anyone dispute ancient egypt's civilizational status? > While this might be a matter of ancient history and science to everyone It isn't a matter of ancient history and science to everyone. Ancient history, science and archaelogy are political for everyone. Egyptology as a field was created by europeans partly to justify taking over egypt. It literally was part of european colonialism. > It's also the same you rarely find Egyptian archeologists/scholars on scientific papers. You find it odd that egyptians aren't too keen on egyptology? > The "findings" of the paper has to agree with the narrative built and proposed by the ministry of antiquities or they will literally charge whoever publishes it with a national crime. I highly doubt that. Maybe if the "study" undermines egypt's attempt to get their stolen antiquities back. But even then your claim seems outlandish. |
