You know what…I’m turning to the Bible.
Adam and Eve being the first humans on earth lived in the Garden of Eden and that is believed to be in Mesopotamia. And I’m sure they had a swanky brownstone.
So there, architecture started in Mesopotamia.
Troy- the What said : ” All Architecture has origins in Egypt! “, referring to the construction of buildings per se. Since Egypt is not the olderst known civilization, and civilizations do not develop without building cities, he is wrong. As a science, Egypt developed architecture to an incredible degree, but that’s nt what the What is saying. And the ancient Mesopotamians built Ziggurats which are earlier than the Egyptian pyramids, and in a few cases can be said to rival them as archtiectural structures.
your last post has nothing to do with the argument at hand. We’re talking architecture here, not pigmentation. Furthermore, during the time period we’re talking about (5000bc), the mesopatamians were also black, so your race argument gets thrown out the window anyway
Thanks for the info Troy.
I’m going by memory from college also when I say I believe the city of Sumeria is older than that of any city in Egypt.
Okay, I have to look it up now. Where did architecture and city planning begin?
That retards for stepping into the “Mesopotamia Gambit”! This is disinformation places bu the Greeks and European Bullshit!
Origin of the Ancient Egyptians
by Cheikh Anta Diop
The general acceptance, as a sequel to the work of Professor [Louis B.] Leakey, of the hypothesis of mankind’s monogenetic and African origin, makes it possible to pose the question of the peopling of Egypt and even of the world in completely new terms. More than 150,000 years ago, beings morphologically identical with the man of today were living in the region of the great lakes at the sources of the Nile and nowhere else. This notion, and others which it would take too long to recapitulate here, form the substance of the last report presented by the late Dr. Leakey at the Seventh Pan-African Congress of Pre-History in Addis Ababa in 1971.1 It means that the whole human race had its origin, just as the ancients had guessed, at the foot of the mountains of the Moon. Against all expectations and in defiance of recent hypotheses it was from this place that men moved out to people the rest of the world. From this two facts of capital importance result:
(a) of necessity the earliest men were ethnically homogeneous and negroid. Gloger’s law, which
would also appear to be applicable to human beings, lays it down that warm-blooded animals evolving in a warm humid climate will secrete a black pigment (eumelanin).2 Hence if mankind originated in the tropics around the latitude of the great lakes, he was bound to have brown pigmentation from the start and and it was by differentiation in other climates that the original stock later split into different races;
(b) there were only two routes available by which these early men could move out to people the other continents, namely, the Sahara and the Nile valley. It is the latter region which will be discussed here.
From the Upper Palaeolithic to the dynastic epoch, the whole of the river’s basin was taken over progressively by these negroid peoples
Cheikh Anta Diop (29 December, 1923–7 February, 1986) was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist and politician who studied the human race’s origins and pre-colonial African culture. He has been considered one of the greatest African historians of the 20th century
You see retards Man has been on earth about a million years. There is a history that has by subjugated by the powers that be to Mind fuck humanity! I do not harbor such ignorance, I know the truth…
You are both right and wrong in a way. Buildings and cities do pre-date Egypt. However, the idea of architecture as a methodical science and city planning how we know it was really developed in Eygpt around 3000BC (12th dynasty I think).
What I find interesting, is that architecture also developed in Peru around 3000 bc and spread to other parts of central and south America shortly after. Many of the same types of structure and building were used in Peru as in Egypt, but they developed independently.

stop the black on black architectural racism

Come on What, we have homework to do.
Stop digging What…everyone knows the earth is only 6,000 years old…
