The reverential treatment of the skulls at Jericho
suggest religious practice Gadd once said that there is a culture of the land
of Canaan, known as Kina khan to the Akkadian from the purple ‘dye’ for which
it was famous. Its claim to fame in world history is that Canaan produced the
alphabet that was to be the ancestor of all Western alphabets and a literature
to which, through the Old Testament, all literature owes a great debt”
C.J Gadd F.B discusses cities of Babylon. Cited that
Genesis account probably Sumerian in origin for in their tradition, kings are
supposed to have lived up to 1000 years. There was the story of the so called
Embaragissi and his son who rules for 625 years. There is the story of a
Shepherd who went up to heaven. The first dynastic names were Semitic origins
and the people not necessarily we can begin to form an opinion of the people
that they are close in many ways to the Semitic people of the Area.
The four successive deluges in the time of the
Sumerian flood feed on the fact that the idea of successive deluges suffered
different interpretations. There was the issue of 136 Copper sheeted materials
from Al Ubaid period. And this fact may learn in the fact about gods are “not
remote from men” lead enough to the fact that the idea of god/gods/goddess were
provincial for killing perhaps foreign to the area of domination. His image was
carried abroad like sculptures but in the end, it was a bad corruption of the
names of the god/s that began the culture of differentiation from one form to
another. This idea we can all agree is part of the so called Twilight of the
Gods’ by Neitzer.
In Sumerian legends there was the rise of other
dynasties and kings of the area like Urukagina which can be interpreted as the
‘house of governor’ but the clear names like Embaragissi is not like the very
name in meaning since it refers to the ‘ruling house’. The relationship between
Uruk and Urukagina is not quite clear but the evolution of the people seems
entirely notable. There was the presence and the argument concerning the so
called to Lugalzaggissi who become the Sovereign of Kish (third dynasty). The
fall of Lugalzaggissi and of his third dynasty of Uruk makes no more than are
ordinary transition in the king list. It is to be note that King Djoser
(employed) (third dynasty) and the genius of Imhotep to erect. (The old kingdom
in Egypt and the beginning of the first intermediate period) by Stevenson Smith
discusses the chapels at Saqqara and the relief.
“A relief from Rameside chapel at Saqqara shows
seated figures of three Kings; Djosernuls, Teti and Userkat, where as a stature
of period belong to a man who held priesthoods of the Kings Netjerykhet Djoser,
Djoser Teti and Teti and Imhotep” – faces equally carved in the rocks of Wadi
Magharia in the Sinai Peninsula. Herodetef and Imhotep some people say were
perhaps prototypes for Ahitofel. It was in these times that we find the sayings
of Imhotep that a “great book is better than a great building” But then there
was also the case of the issue concerning historians like Manetho of the
Polemaic historian and his designs for the study of the Egyptian lore and
tradition. Some has speculated that the reasons for building the Pyramid was to
guide against intruders, but there have other reasons for it. --Cambridge
“The compilation of religious lore in Pyramid Text is
a characteristic Egyptian expression of what was perhaps the greatest
achievement of the old Kingdom” The last quaternary age has been a matter
interesting subject, since we can refer to various eponyms of the same period
as a period not unlike what we find in many parts of the original past of the
last 30 million years. There is need to describe the issue concerning man’s
society and his history from the last 25 thousand years, man and his history is
interesting in terms of these years since we can acknowledge that the origins
of the human society in the form of what we understand it follow a graduation.
But by this gradualism however we tend to twist it seems to have been dominated
by occasional floods, floods that was a mere reaction to the unbalancing acts
of the earth’s equator. This movement of the earth around the sun led to
episodes of overflow. But it is only natural that such overflow is we come to
see predominated
These places were at some point new world/s which was
to endure through the civility of Navigation between Africa and parts of Asia
and Europe. History says that the first Navigators where the Egyptian - the
‘People of Nile’. Everything Egypt is now taken as much of Africa. We may mean
Africa as the seat of Navigation since pictorials dating back in time had been
recovered in mountains beyond the frontiers of Egypt of today. North Africa was
seriously covered with dregs from annual floods, where water going back to
ages, we may also call these Navigators Africans, because Egypt was their home
and they lived in Africa and as Mariners. These travelers died everywhere in
the world.
Flood in Mesopotamia is not the primary motivation
for the Ship going in and out. There is no doubt that the history concerning
Ancient Mariners is relatively popular but there is much more to be desired
about the people and about the language, for it seems that enough emphasis may
be made on the culture and the society that made it possible.
Lionel Classon in ‘Ancient Mariners’ suggested that
the sea fighters if the Mediterranean, reveal that studies in Egyptian pottery
will show that there is the presence of the pottery and other Egyptian wares
were found in many parts of the old Sicily, in Greece, in the Rhodes. He cited
that in studies conducted in many parts of the world concerning sea farers did
reveal that in the beginning men ‘floated’ with planks, raffia and bark of the
wood. Classon went to suggest that about 3000 BC, there was the story of a
certain Idi-mino, king of Crete, who was believed to have died in Sicili, and
who by many accounts exited from Egypt. He mentioned that for many centuries,
Egypt was a sea faring Empire. In the event, the credit for inventing boat goes
to Egypt and that boat usage in many parts of the world probably began in Egypt
in the Fourth Millennium BC. Classon made a more neglected case that “not long
ago, while digging at Eridu, in the level that dates around 3500 or 3400 B.C,
excavators came upon a little clay model…with striking resemblance to Egyptian”
Classon went to say that “It seems most likely that
the first true voyages were made by Egyptians who worked North ward along
coasts of Palestine and Syria or South ward down the Red Sea by Mesopotamia who
sailed down the Persia Gulf and perhaps into the Indian Ocean.” Classon
demonstrated that in Minoans, Crete, as soon were elements of Osiris myth,
citing either the influence of the Egyptian throughout the area or that these
people in themselves were Egyptian seafarers who settled into long spans of
time. Among the most forceful of these Sea farers was a certain Pharaoh by name
Snefure, who recorded much of the sea expenditure of Egyptians. Am thankful to
Classon for making clear a history of Navigation, for it seems clear that the
spread of history was on mainly possible through the use of the seafaring and
not just a matter of people emerging from the soil, or a matter stuck in an
area eternally as we find in many account of today’s where cultures are given
unrewarding attention.
Classon cited that “bringing of forty ships filled
Cedar logs” were part of the writing documents of the Pharaoh Snefru, ruler of
Egypt about 2650 B.C. The cedars of Lebanon were the cultivation of Egypt. They
ruled the area so completely that Lebanese were never that different from Egypt
and some of these places do not have that many people living in the place. He
cited that “about 2550 B.C pharaoh Sahure built a fleet of transport to ferry
his troops to some Asiatic Coasts. According to him, what we also notice from
history is that Phoenician fleet began to arrive from nowhere in 2000BC, and
many of them were dressed in Egyptian attire and had Egyptian custom. You come
out of this book worthy of three things that the Egyptian adventure and
discovery of Canaan, led to the foundation of the workers who mainly mined the
area for Egypt and then a break off of some sort which almost naturally lead to
repercussion. Many book have mentioned that Egyptian beads, pottery, “double
ax” carvings, funerary architecture, seem predominant in terms of Archeological
finds which dates up to 6000 BC, many if not all of these finds has strong
element of Egyptian art and style and were in many cases Egyptian. In more
recent times, the civilization of these areas that go as far back as 3000 years
BCE, the civilization of the Near, that go as far as Egypt. Academic account
from recorded sources and so on, point to Egypt as the inventor of Ship but it
is to be noted that they completely dominated the sea trade and sea shipping
that, the sea traffic was a synonym for Egypt. The Persian Gulf now ratcheted
up as Arabic, who themselves may have just been an African tribe, was a
constant trip trooper for Ship commanders.
