The Chalcolithic Period A Civilization in Palestine found to be 3 times older than Egypt

The basis of this guy's entire argument is based on that fact that HE believes that egypt is the oldest civilization. And BECAUSE of that any civilization that comes after aren't original enough to have their own encounters with the Most High and there for must have stolen their ideologies from egypt. And thats how he derives at his hypothesis without ever showing PROOF of plagiarism. PROOF of plagiarism would be to show and prove WHO was the one who plagiarized, WHEN it was plagiarized, HOW it was plagiarized, what time period it was Plagiarized, and give an account of the process of Plagiarism. Which he NEVER does. He asks us to ASSUME that because he found what appears to him to be similarities then ergo whatever he says is true. He then proceeds to use christian vernacular to further make attempts to tie the 2 together. Typical Heretical behavior. And to charge 40 dollars for this is preposterous.

I say the first place to attack is his BELIEF that Egypt is the oldest civilization. Thats easy. Ask the dear brother if he has EVER heard of the Natoufian and the Kabarian who lived THOUSANDS of years BEFORE egypt in the area of Palestine. Yeah, I'm grinning from ear to ear right about now. The Hebrew brethren would know NOTHING of this, they are too busy trying to prove that black americans are Hebrews, That christianity is wrong, and that the government is the devil. Lets take a looksee into some information to support what I'm saying: I'm putting this information in it's own thread since this is about Islam and the crucifiction

Yohanan Aharoni on `The Chalcolithic Period'

The earliest cultures in the history of the Holy Land are known to us only from archaeological research. Most recent discoveries in the Jordan Valley prove that man appeared in Palestine in the Lower Pleistocene Age, estimated to be at least half a million years ago. This early man lived in Palestine before the final depression of the Jordan Valley to its present depth. In several cases caves in Mount Carmel (Wadi Mugharah) and in Galilee, skeletons of Paleolithic man have been uncovered. These are of the more advanced type of Neanderthal man discovered in Europe. The scientific name of this type is Palaeanthropus Palaestinensis - "Early Palestinian Man." The last phase of the cave dwellers, in the Mesolithic Age (about 10,000 to 8,000 BC), parallels the end of the last Ice Age in Europe. At this time began the first true settlement in Palestine; no major climatic changes have taken place since then. The earliest culture has been termed Natufian/(var. Natoufian), after caves in Wadi en-Natuf on the western slopes of the central hill-country. This was a transitional phase of man, from hunting and gathering of food to crude agricultural and animal husbandry. In addition there is a culture named `Zarzian' and `Kabarian'. Many today think of these as very old, sort of connecting almost to what they call very ancient man. But we defend the view that these cultures could have existed side by side with more highly developed cultures and that they represent a people who chose to live that way or else their educational/economic heritage placed them in that position just like today we find a wide variety of living conditions among people.

The revolutionary transition of man in Palestine, from cave dwellers to founder of villages and towns, is best seen at Jericho, the one city of this period known to show such extensive accomplishments in construction and technology. This is in contrast to the usual open sites scattered here and there near readily arable land.

The progress of early civilizations was not always smooth and peaceful. Declines and retrogressions followed peaks of achievement. New conquering people dislodged inhabitants from their settlements, or settled in their midst. In the Chalcolothic period (the fourth millennium BC) many settlements were founded, mainly in the fertile valleys and on the edge of the desert. It was at this time that copper first came into use alongside stone implements. The later phase of this age is called the Ghassulian culture, after a group of small mounds in the southeastern part of the Jordan Valley, where the culture was first discovered (Teleilat Ghassul); it later became well known from several sites near Bear-sheba. These settlements spread over wide areas and were not fortified; the inhabitants were engaged in agriculture, herding, and household industries, including copper working. Their technical and artistic achievements are quite remarkable. A cache of copper utensils found in the "Cave of the Treasure" in the Judean Desert surpasses in both quality and beauty all other such objects known from the East from the same period. Among the lands of the early civilizations, Palestine held a respectable position till the end of the fourth millennium BC. [Y. Aharoni, `Bible Atlas', New York, 1977, p. 22-23; For an image of the caves see BA, 1962, p. 31]

Maybe its the issue of the great accomplishments made in Egypt why Kemetologists boast with such pride in Kemet.

Thats because black folk are lazy when it comes to history. It's easy to just assume that Egypt was the greatest african empire of all time and that it's the oldest and most glorious etc etc. They don't wanna learn more than that. just lazy. And as much as they don't believe in the indoctrination machine they fall right for it. Because if that Dr. Karazi actually believed that the Hebrews were a black people it would weaken his attacks. But you can tell he doesn't know the truth. The reason he attacks with such fervor is because he assume he's chopping down a white man's religions when in fact he fails to realize he's trying to wound his own brother and if he does realize that and doesn't care, then he certain doesn't have a heart of wisdom or the heart of a leader.

What is more is this, archeologists are STILL DIGGGIN!!!!!!!! So what was reported as the oldest civilzation back in the late 90s CERTAINLY has changed today because thats over 10 years of escavations and unburrying of civilizations. The deeper you go the OLDER you go. Egypt sits on the surface so we KNOW they aint the oldest. So the information will constantly change every 5-10 years when they undig more clues and older civilizations.

The egyptologists are too lazy to keep up with the news reports. Because, they are some of the most sold out fans in the world. Imagine how stupid they will look after they order 45,000 dollars worth of egyptian decorum for their home. And how many christians they done brow beated supposing themselves to be something, when in fact the newest report hits and shows There was a civilization discovered twice as old as egypt. It's took late now, they have completely sold out, They done changed their names to an egyptian name, house full of egyptian gods, phonebook full of enemies because all of them were christian. It's hard to eat that crow!!!! So instead they hope to run into folk that don't know the truth, even when the confidence of their conviction is gone

So, now this had me to ponder and dig a little but was of little resolve. So what great accomplishments have any society or people accomplished for our world that can be archeology documented that is greater than Egypt's contributions? I must ask this because you referred to the lazy black folks not researching history. All historians and anthropologists, with any credence, give glory to the contributions made by Egypt, even as they speak of age of enlightenment.... Egypt is given its rightful place.

Do you believe the news reports on the new archeological findings will have any more impact on lessening the greatness of Egyptian contributions than the finding the Dead Sea Scrolls have on lessening the greatness of Torah? It only strengthened it. In other words, one does not take away but add to the other, in my view.

Remedies ranged from herbal and magic medicine to surgery.They prescribed contraceptives, performed circumsicions and conducted pregnancy tests. The practice of mummification made them excel in Anatomy.

The 365 days calendar and the 24-Hour division of the day are Egyptian inventions.

Egyptians invented the art of painting on plaster.

Now, I was not expecting these but even more illustrious contributions such as philosophy, one of seventh wonders - architectural wonders..

I love that it was where our ancestors could go for refuge when they needed protection from famine and oppression.

Oh... I thought the strike thing was interesting... Can slaves actually strike? mmmm were we really slaves, then?

Oh and what about Akhenaten... mmmm could he had been Moshe?

I'll get to this later, but this is what I will say. Egypt was an empire. Just like babylon was an empire, just like Great Britain and America are empires. What we do know about empires is that their success rises and falls on their ability to attract a multitude of cultures and become a melting pot of peoples. Tell me, what would america be with just the britain refugees? We would be a 3rd world country still. America didn't become great until immigrants stormed it's borders and with them came great ingenuity. We can attribute much of our progression to the inventions and minds of our immigrants and slave labor. No other empire was any different.
