The impact of Uruk-Jamdat

mab perimeter is not history....it is a record of lien, stamp, (dis or, etc. Bond

How do we begin with the history concerning Africa and the rest of the world? Perhaps we have to refer to the themes of civilization and what Archeology tells about Ancient History. We have the Ubaid, Uruk, Jamdat Nasr, etc, as comparative rate of successive history of Ancient Civilization. This group of civilization is ultimately based on what was perhaps evident from the years from the arrangement of works of art, ceramics, funerary architecture, house types, building architecture, bones and other human remains, palaces, and evidence of the writing in these places and in the culture. While on the surface these cultures are mainly different and essentially derived from each other, the Ubaid, Uruk, Jamdat Nasr, are said to be precursors to what happened to the Egypt, essentially in the generation leading to Saqqara burial grounds. In many sense therefore, there is enough to suggest that the culture that can be referred to Egypt, especially pre-monarch Egypt is more or less inherited from Asia and parts of Europe. Egypt is the cradle of civilization, but the people who began the modern day civilization of Egypt came from elsewhere, from parts of Badarian I and II which is on the other side of First Cataract at Aswan, and in Abydos where the heads of Osiris was said to have wrested. 

But these places are not that far from what and where you can Africa that in fact, these places were part of Africa as the very continent. It is only lately have we noted significant departure of the science from Art that changes are not the case are still in question. Egypt in the way we understand it makes it very clear that. And the Role of Syria as the how begins to Navigate between what Egypt is supposed to be and what Egypt may have been. To help our understanding of why the much of the world seem in various ways affected by the work of the Egyptian and so on. Not only in Africa is there the necessity of doing the necessary, it is now common sense that much of the world in the way we understand it today is a process gradually disappearing in terms of languages of the world. In terms of the way we conceive of the world, it is only expected with it the very language of the world that made it possible. The Mesoamerica has not accounted in full, that these languages are referred.


The birth of writing was a matter of 'consciousness' or witness to further generation and posterity. It began perhaps as a conscious record of incidents of a time or the incidents regarding the events of a time, perhaps of what happened at the time of their writer and why they said happened. But more than anything, the invention of writing was a matter of recognition or what Michael Foucault once called 'reverse memory', or practices regarding the survival of a people and a culture, the rites that they performed and when they are performed. Much of these places before the incidents of the Hyksos of 1750 - 1500, were areas associated with Egypt and associated with Egyptian writing and their priestly functions, and these places provide us with a whole view of the world history and theory of expansion from a sparsely populated era around the East and then North Africa, to Near East, Middle East and then further into the wild as more areas are discovered by Egyptian Sea travelers who rested on the starry heights of Ziggurats in evident places such as Sumer and South Arabia, where natural land uplift serve a shelter so to speak for the Shipwrecked or Navigators or land explorers, who used the Bird or the Eagle (Horus) as a guide for lands far-away. According to legends and by African tradition, the stomach of the Bird is eviscerated by the Sea trotters who 8 thousand years ago used Raffia from the Swamps of the First Cataracts to construct boats that sailed on the course of the Wind. 

Their emblem was the Bird and their discoveries in these far lands are usually welcomed in Africa and in Egypt by people who are called experts on such a place, and by that extension of people from the First Cataract into the main parts of the sea, much of the known world gradually developed into new realities of Cities, towns and languages. But however broken from the main source these languages are, they become over time, a new language spoken in lands far away but are mere extension of the old and the main language, essentially Kemit whose roots and stems may now explain why these a great deal of relatedness among the languages of the world. 

Cambridge Ancient History Part 1 Volume 1, early pottery of Mesopotamia and Syria, Ubaid and the beginning of the early dynastic period, 3500-3000 B.C, in the alluvial plain of Sumer, first lower Mesopotamia. Ubaid – Uruk – Jamdat Nasr, based on the ‘discoveries of Seton Lloyd and Fuad Safar’, and it is the issue concerning the incident that we note concerning the Ubaid where ancient Sumer was supposed to have been located in the lower Mesopotamia....“One of the Principal reasons against the adoption of this terminology was that the Polychrome pottery so distinctive of Jamdat Nasr was found only at a few sites in Babylonia” but a comparison between evolutionary societies of the Hajj Mohammed and Eridu, that the shift from Uruk-Ubaid-Jamdat Nasr, in illustrating a weaver’s is Uruk, “the more sensitive prehistory excavations which have been undertaken since the conclusion of the dig at the comparatively small site of Al-‘Ubaid, 4 miles West of Ur, have diminished its importance as a point of reference” “But the early Dynastic temple is likely to have been the last of a much earlier series – there was certainly a predecessor in the Uruk-Jamdat Nasr period” How to begin to Navigate between what Egypt is supposed to be and what Egypt may have been. To help our understanding of why the much of the world seem in various ways affected by the work of the Egyptian and so on". This could not have been right....

We have the Ubaid, Uruk, and Jamdat Nasr, as comparative rate of successive history of Ancient Civilization. This group of civilization is ultimately based on what was perhaps evident from the years from the arrangement of works of art, ceramics, funerary architecture, house types, building architecture, bones and other human remains, palaces, and evidence of the writing in these places and in the culture.

Egypt is the cradle of civilization, but the people who began the modern day civilization of Egypt are said to have come from elsewhere, from parts of Badarian I and II which is not that far from the First Cataract at Aswan. But these places are not that far from what and where you can Africa that in fact, these places were part of Africa as the very continent.

Much of what is now Mesopotamia, or land of the two Rivers, offer the rest of us a cognizable insight into the history of the world and the languages. It is not co-incidence that is Mesopotamia and the Near East, especially Near East which is fancy term for Egypt or Africa, that hold the key to understanding our world from its ancient and humble beginnings to the present when we now see the totality of the world in part. The area is riddled in flood and flood story, and at least, enough evidence exist to suggest that the flood incident that sink much of the older worlds occurred every so often, and then it gradually toned down to possibly every 2000 years or thereabout, and each time, the flood dislocate people from their roots, and from that demarcation they inbreed, reproductively isolate from others, become lighter with time or physically different, survive or perish with time, but essentially disconnected from others. It appears that the process led to various departures from Africa or Nearby indigenes such that the people with a new language may only remember what their ancestors said about them, that they came from lands far away and where only separated from the from the main source of their language tree because of the flood. Now they speak a new dialect or even newer dialect which led to a language and newer versions of spoken world. As such the stories that become popular among these people are usually stories about their triumph over the bellows of waters, usually achieved by some divine means, through series of natural occurrences personified as gods of thunder and lightning, baal and mut, of light and darkness. But the main event of these floods was called the Great Flood, which took place 2010-1990 Bce, which was also alluded to by Egyptians most popular of whom was a certain Manetho.
