Egypt : Was West Africa populated by Egyptians?

[Blackbird]

I'm glad this discussion is finally going in the direction I initially intended when I started this thread. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

@Raptor, there are a bunch of articles and books written in French by African authors that speak of the possible migrations and routes. It's worth getting to know Francais.

@Awo, that has been a fight that we have been dealing with since forever with Academia. But the Africans have been holding it down. Again, you just have to be able to read French. When you read these works, these arguments they pose is nonsensical.

Yes - Most of the book are in French by African authors so what I do while I'm still in the process of learning the french dialect - I go to scribd.com and find the books that are written in French or even French website and then I place the address into:

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/

it will translate the whole website into english - we don't have to miss anything that has been written in french when you have websites like this.


Peace

the word "alaafia" in Mampruli is used in responding to a question posed to you about your health.

It Means, I'm healthy.

I'm new here. What an interesting and very informative community.

I just wanted to say that I too believe that Punt was located in the west and extending southward from there as well.

I know this thread is old and I haven't read all through the threads, but I just wanted to offer this for those who are still focused on the thread topic. The question isn't about solely did the Egyptians migrate from Egypt, but more so what ethnic groups travelled from the lush Kayinga (Sahara) during desertification to repopulate the Nile Valley to become Egyptian civilization?

I suggest that many people get these works by GJK Campbell-Dunn:

African Origins of Classical Civilization
Who Were the Minoans: An African Answer

You'll see how we moved from the Sahara into Italy, Crete and the Nile Valley. I also recommend Martin Bernal's Black Athena Vol. 3: The Linguistic Evidence. Also look up articles by Dr. Clyde Winters who deals heavily with Saharan migrations into Europe and the Nile Valley.

There is a book coming out Black Genesis by Robert Bauval which will focus exclusively on this. Most of the scholars I've quoted are European Whites. I did this to demonstrate that the scholarship is slowing changing.

link removed so that I can post this reply.

So now you have to get the book by Catherine Acholonu titled They Lived Before Adam and The Gram Code of African Adam. Then you'll be able to see the relationship Egypt had with west Africa. Many people think PUNT is in Ethiopia. That is not the case. PUNT is in Nigeria/Cameroon. And she supplies ample evidence to support this.

So there is an array of evidence out there that west and east Africans knew each other well and that's why when the invasions and droughts came, they knew where to go.

Whatever happened to West Africa?

Was West Africa populated by Egyptians?

Where does our emphasis on Egypt come from?

Why do we always speak about West Africa in relation to Egypt?

Egypt is fundamental to our heritage and history just as Europeans claim Greece is their heritage. It doesn't matter to them that their ancestors came from France or Germany. They still revere the ancient Greeks, use Greek words when they want to sound intelligent and base what they know about scieence on the misconceptions passed down by the Greeks.

By the same turn we must hold on to our African heritage. Few of us actually knows what nation we were taken from. If we insist on being technical and disown Egypt because our ancestors were from some other nation unknown to us then we really forfeit any heritage.

Egypt is the mother of Africa just as Greece and Rome are the mothers of Europe. Plus any way everything Greece had was stolen and twisted from Egypt. If Europeans can lay claim to the half-baked knowledge of Greece then why can't we lay claim to the full knowledge of ancient Africans no matter what part of the continent they lived on. They were there and they are ours.
