Egypt is older than uruk, fellow gypsy

Sumer is older and more influential

>Hence, our analysis generates a chronometric date for the foundation of Egypt (accession of king Aha) of 3111–3045 BCE (68% hpd range; median 3085 BCE) or 3218–3035 BCE (95% hpd range).
One of the first lines about Sumer on wikipedia:
>By the late 4th millennium BC, Sumer was divided into about a dozen independent city-states, which were divided by canals and boundary stones.
Another article from a wiki:
>The development and system of administration led to the development of archaic tablets around 3500 BC-3200 BC and ideographic writing (ca 3100 BC) was developed into logographic writing around 2500 BC.
Sumer is older and more influential.

Did you never hear about the "Dark Ages" ?

>>By the late 4th millennium BC, Sumer was divided into about a dozen independent city-states, which were divided by canals and boundary stones.
so was Egypt, Egypt was UNIFIED in 3kbc you idiot, it didn't arise out of nothing they were warring states
>The earliest evidence for mummification in Egypt has been found in a cemetery of working-class inhabitants at Hierakonpolis, the largest site of the Pre- and Protodynastic period (3800-3100 B.C.), 390 miles south of Cairo. One plundered and two intact burials, all of women and dating between 3600 and 3500 B.C., show clear evidence that the forearms, hands, and base of the head were padded with linen bundles and then wrapped in resin-soaked linen bandages.
>Although the bodies weren't fully wrapped like later mummies, they are 500 years earlier than the next known example of mummification, a wrapped arm from the tomb of the 1st Dynasty king Den (ca. 2980 B.C.) found wearing four bracelets (and now in the Cairo Museum)...
>>52005275
Unification means absolutely nothing in terms of importance (don't have to explain that even to a retard like you) or to age, because I said "Sumer", which was never unified anyway, up until Sargon came along (but the Sumerians and Akkadians are viewed as separate).
>The earliest evidence for mummification
>3600-3500BC
So a barbaric, stupid ritual which has no relevance in the modern world apart from Lenin being mummified was done in Egypt in 3500BC? And you compare that to their contemporaries in Sumer developing a system of writing, administration etc? Lmao, delusional.

Just stop, Abdel-Nasr. Modern Egyptians have nothing to do with Ancient Egyptians anyway.

Compare to:
>Mesopotamia is in the Uruk period, with emerging Sumerian hegemony and development of "proto-cuneiform" writing; base-60 mathematics, astronomy and astrology, civil law, complex hydrology, the sailboat, potter's wheel and wheel; the Chalcolithic proceeds into the Early Bronze Age.
Which was more influential. Let's dissect your Badari culture:
>agriculture
Agriculture involving domestication of plants was developed around 11,500 years ago separately in both the Fertile crescent and at Chogha Golan in modern day Iran, where wild barley, wheat and lentils were cultivated and with domesticated forms of wheat appeared about 9,800 years ago.
>Fishing
Has been done since time immemorial.
>Animal husbandry
Animal husbandry has been practiced for thousands of years since the first domestication of animals. Where and when were animals first domesticated? Some prominent examples:
>dog
Prior to 33000BC, Europe
>sheep
11000-9000BC, Southwest Asia
>pig
9000BC, Near East (Tigris Basin)
>goat
8000BC, Near East (Zagros mountains)
>cattle
8000BC, Southwest Turkey
Stop, Egyptian shit.

Literally none of that has to do with the Uruk period, retard

Took you this long for nothing. I am the victor. I'm off now, Egypsy. Don't shitpost while I'm gone.
>>52006737
I usually don't dignify fat fucking retards with a response. Check the wikipedia article for "4th millennium BC". From the top of my head, check out Ur-Nammu. Base-60 is not even disputed to be Sumerian, our use of a 360 degree circle comes from them, as does the idea of 12 months of approx. 360 days. Check out the sources for others, dumb cunt.
I'm out.
Why do people say that Jews are not white, yet they will say that ancient Egyptians were white?
>>52006983
You're a nobody, I have better things to do than respond to a retard arguing about things he's just finding out.
The base 60 is Babylonian you monkey, off with you now.

ancient civilizations interacted. your point proves nothing
also like >>52004018 said. it's well known the early greeks came from asia minor
"western civilization" isn't just ancient greeks. it's also the romans. it's also the anglos / french / germans etc during middle ages and colonialism and today. it's also p much all christians
it's like you're saying slavs are indo-european therefor USSR space accomplishments BTFO
tl;dr: you're a retard

the shortly lived 25th dynasty were, actually
>>52008073
It already has
I can't tell what anyone's doing in this thread.
It's a well known fact that the Greeks were influenced by neighboring cultures, just like almost every other culture in Eurasia.

What's the point of that pic? Looks fine.
>>52008407
>i like how the tallest buildings in that picture were architected by americans/brits
about time to learn proper implementation of mathematics in building

that's what it looks like when middle easterners design buildings
and i agree it looks very neat and clean
