History of Human Civilization Started in Africa

In analyzing Egyptian history, it becomes clear that their civilization did not start completely "from scratch." Some of the greatest masterpieces of Egyptian civilization were created when this people was just at the beginning of its development. It therefore becomes quite evident that the "early Egyptians" relied on the technology of someone who lived in the same geographical area before them. Let us give a few examples.

Based on the reconstruction of history made by Egyptologists, the "Step Pyramid of Djoser" is a kind of "touchstone" for all the pyramids found in Egypt. This is the first pyramid of which we are reasonably certain to know the builder, the client and the period of construction. It was built on the orders of Pharaoh Djoser, based on the design of his very famous official Imhotep, around 2,630 BCE. On this pyramid, therefore, everyone is in pretty good agreement.

We deduce from this that, any pyramid that, hypothetically, would be on Egyptian soil but would turn out to be "earlier" than the "Step Pyramid of Djoser," built about 2,630 B.C., could not be considered "Egyptian" in the sense we give to that term today. It would have been built by someone who came before the pharaohs. The pharaohs, therefore, would have merely "taken" possession of it, making it appear as "their stuff." Did things turn out that way? Let us give some examples based on the latest findings of science.

In a survey using the method of "Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL)," carried out by the Department of Archaeometry of the University of the Aegean, Greece, it was found that the limestone rock of the temple of Qasr-el-Sagha may date as far back as 5550 B.C. (average dating: 4700 ± 850 B.C.). This temple may predate Djoser's Pyramid by up to 3,000 years.

Using the same dating method, it was found that The red granite used to cover the base of the facade of the Small Pyramid (Pyramid of Mycerinus), examined with this modern dating system returns as the earliest date 4,400 B.C. (Mean date 3450 ± 950 B.C.). That rock may have been placed as much as 2,000 years before the construction of Djoser's Pyramid. And we are talking about the outer layer of the pyramid, which may have been restored at a later time. Its 'heart' may be much older.
...
Who built those and other constructions that we commonly call 'Egyptian'? Certainly not the 'Egyptians' we know....
