Mystery's of Egypt

what evidence is their that Egyptian build and had the technology to build the pyramid how was it done how long would it have taken?

how old is the pyramid compared the sphinx?

what was the pyramid really used for, some archeologist claimed for years it was a kings burial tomb others say it is not.

would it have bn possible for the Egyptians to have traveled across the sea, could they have landed in the americas and help build the Olmec empire as some african historians theories claim.

why does it seem we are missing so much history of an advance society who kept records?

was Cleopatra african descent or foreign possibly white as many western academics claim?

what animals lived during the time of the pyramid builders what was the area like?
tell me what you know of the Egyptians...

No and why do "theories" like this exist? Do people just not like the idea of "Red Indians" doing great things without help? The Mayans, Aztecs and Incans (three of the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen) did it all on their own.

Theories that Egyptians, ancient white people, or that aliens helped them, or "taught" them how to build their structures are considered psuedo-science and rejected by mainstream anthropologists and archaeologists.

i know that there is a giant coliseum stadium build by natives in arizona and was like a mecca city.. we know they had roads and stuff but, i think more often then not it was purposely forgotten or destroyed by the euro immigrant settlers.
plus, euro disease wiped out the natives and euro people took over the settlements making it their own and building over it.

same happen to the olmecs, mayans, aztecs empires.

but, i think " some" african historians want it to be so b/c they want their claim in history after having so much of their history raped and taken by whites..

trying to claim something and grasping at straws and using the olmec face/head carvings as african features and origin.

Well there are pyramids there in Egypt during the time we know there was an empire there. That's plenty of proof they built them.

If you need more, well, there are work records and whole cities built to hold the workers.

"The" pyramid?

Considering there are literally tombs inside of the pyramids...

No. That's ridiculous.

What records are you looking for?

She was a descendant of Ptolemy. We know that for a fact. Thus she was Greek from that line of descent at least.

While the South American Native cultures were amazing in their own, lets not take away from the Iriquois, Plains and even Inuit cultures. While maybe not inventing things like huge cities and the like, they were very advanced culturally. The Iriquois had a constitution that was in many ways similar to those of modern nationstates

Mexico isn't in South America.

The Indians in what is today the US and Canada were not even close to being on the level of the Aztecs and Incans. The Mayans, Aztecs and Inca were advanced in city-planning, agriculture, math and commerce. The Aztecs also had a 365-day calender. The Iriquois don't even come close. The Inuits were too busy battling the cold to ever advance.

no, they don't really come close in terms of things that the West calls "civilization", but they certainly "advanced"

Objectively speaking, the Aztecs were technologically superior to the Inuits.

Bunch of Eskimo haters up in this *****. Considering what they had to work with, Eskimos did exceptionally well.

i guess you are right.

yes, the Inuit were no a technologically advanced culture, I'm not trying to take away from the meso-american empires, they were clearly dominant in the Americas prior to colonization, and in places, even after.

All I wanted to point out, is that many people assume that a lack of things like big stone pyrimids or whatever means that there was something "less" advanced about the more northern native american people's, which is very much untrue.

Also, the Iriquois gave the Europeans a way better run for their money 😉

that bear is like 12 seconds from being a carpet

the hopi, aztecs, mayans, incas had cities and towns equal if not surpassing many if the european towns/cities of the time.. so i seen on tv/learning channels and online.

That's^ right.

When the Spaniards first entered Tenochtitlan, they thought it was more magnificent than Venice.

i watched online what ended up happening was that many europeans just took over the indian towns and cities and build over them or expanded them once the indians started dying off from diseases.

hence, loss of buildings and signs of a once advance civilization plus, the looting and will destruction of artifacts to hide evidence and change religion.

this pup just showed up the inuits

This is where I chip in with the only conspiracy theory I think holds any weight based on evidence. That the Egyptians on the eastern side of the Altantic and the Mayans etc on the western side of the Atlantic are all descended from a common civilisation known now as Atlantis. The mid atlanti ridge is active enough to have made and destroyed islands somewhere along it considerable length where an advanced civilisation could once have existed.

Given that over 10,000 years have passed since the destruction of Atlantis (according to Plato) then it is likely that the vast majority of physical remains of Atlantis would have been either buried under silt or destroyed by further plate techtonics then it'll be damn difficult to definitively prove the existence of such a culture.

Personally though...I think we should start searching here.

Considering that Plato was very clear about Atlantis not existing I'm going to have to call bullshit on that particular detail.

i just found this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaPKNGXithQ&feature=related

European crossing the ice bridge and mixing with indigenous people making them our native ancestors..

saying like 25% is European DNA can be found in genetics of indian tribes,

that evidence was found in in new mexico.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8obwteQyOuI&feature=related

so it basically saying natives are a mix of Asians and European type ppl.. but, its like whatever its not even a race by today's standard. they were paleo man.

imo its the same as us humans coming from africa.

yeh, it happen thousands upon thousands of year ago so does it really matter?

some of the evidence is kinda iffy since they are using arrow points as well.

Destruction of many great libraries over the centuries. In ancient times many records weren't copied so once the original(s) were lost it was lost forever. Most of the Egyptian history and mysteries was lost once the Romans conquered Egypt and destroyed the libraries of Alexandria. At the Time the Libraries of Alexandria held most of the significant records of the entire Western world. All of the Western civilizations greatest philosophical ideas, scientific theories and recorded history was erased in a night. Now, consider all of the other great libraries that were lost in other great wars and during the dark ages and that is one reason why we still know so little about the details of our past.

As to whether or not the Egyptians traveled to the Americas...,i think that can be aswered by saying no because they would have certainly colonized the land.
