Yup, the former.
On the island of St. Croix some years ago I was exploring for property to buy and came across a deserted building that had been a resort. The lobby had vines hanging down from the roof and there was a general air of disrepair of a modern building left to rot. The rooms were all the same and had been looted of the furnishings. It looked like a Indiana Jones movie set.
The reason the resort had failed and the building became abandoned is the second part of the story. A group of Black militants had accosted a bunch of tourists on the golf course and killed them with AKs. The tourist industry in the Virgin Islands took a hit, but St. Croix was still living with that history and the hit on the economy 20 years later.
The Hindu god SHIVA is called the "Cosmic Dancer."
Shiva can OBVIOUSLY levitate and he uses all those arms to get him flying.
The largest libraries and universities in the world were in ancient India. All burnt to the ground and destroyed when the peaceful religion arrived in India.
Those guys still crack me up.
In a related vid last night, I saw a mashup of pies in the faces of various cast of Stooges pictures, and after a few minutes of fascination with how juvenile and stupid it was, I started laughing really hard. :^)
You all knew, of course, that the Catholic term “nun” was shortened from renunciant, right?
Someone must care.
I sure don't.
BALONEY.
The Indians think WAY too much of themselves.

Any library in ancient Egypt was known as a House of Books. Books or scrolls were written on papyrus, rolled, and saved very carefully. Books included religious texts, spells, lists, letters, triumphs, medical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, scientific knowledge, stories of the gods, and more.
The EGYPTIANS were before them.
I know it kills the Indians to know that they weren't the FIRST but they should just suck it up and shut up.

There has been a great debate of Sumer coming before Egypt. I have done some meticulous studying and thus found out that first King of Egypt was Menes he united the Lower and Upper Kingdom in 3100 BC. Menes Was preceded by the Thinite Kings which was 10 generations before him,secondly Egypt was always an advanced culture from the beginning which means it had to get its Mathematics,Architecture,Astronomy,Religion,and Agriculture from somewhere and sometime before,this would be apparent because that culture would show signs of progression in advancement leaving behind remnants of trial and error of your advancements in technology. Although scholars say Menes was the first the Dynastic king some people say its Narmer who actually unified it but there is not enough evidence to support this claim.
The other wonder is that they have other evidence of a people who lived in Naquada around 4000 BC. What you have to remember is that Egypt has monuments such as the Sphinx that are 30, 000 years old, noted by people like John West.
Also we have to define what we mean by advance the people of Sumeria were labeled the most ancient civilization because of the Necropolis and tombs had a lot of ornaments and silver jewelry that dated back 5000 to 7000 years.
There is pottery found in South of Egypt that dates back to the Nilo Saharan period about 9000 years ago. Now I have to disagree about Sumer(Old Babylon) being the cradle of Civilization because even the people that made Babylon progress due to the tribute of the Akkadians, Assyrians,& Amorites all migrated from Southern Arabia. Linguistic analysis and geneology will show that the Amorites were western Saudi Arabia and The Akkadians Eastern Saudi Arabia. So that means the left the region of Somalia and Ethiopia which was also predecessor of Egypt.
The aboriginal people of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers did not prosper until their arrival .So these nomadic tribes would of have to bring some knowledge to start their civilization in Mesopotamia.
One Important fact is that Nubia was a civilization before Egypt,and Punt was Egypt’s Grandfather. The indigenous people of Punt were called “Agu”. They yielded and bred the people of “Barbara”,then came the Retu which were primarily concentrated in ancient Egypt. All Egyptian Gods were Nubian and even some of the greatest Pharaohs such as Amenhotep and Thutmoses consecrated their Gods in Nubia . Meru, Napata,and Jebel Barkal were significant ancient sites in Egypt. Osiris' symbol was a crescent moon and was Good of Moon. The Babylonians worshiped the moon God Sin and seemed to derive it from Osiris. An ancient Egyptian Mythology the Sun god Ra was Greater then the moon god but not with Babylonians. The troubling factor is that people claim that the Babylonian King Nimrod was the creator of Masonry but we have no evidence. We just know that we base our modern astrology on their system astrology(no wonder were called the “New Babylon”) Logically you would figure the earliest points of Migration in the “Paleolithic” would obviously have the earliest points of civilization.

I've been there and I do appreciate what they have and what they've done but...c'mon, they AIN'T Egypt.
If I HAD to live in either China or India I would take India in a heartbeat. However, since I live in the healthiest, safest, wealthiest country on the planet since the ROMAN EMPIRE, I'll pass on living anywhere else but HERE in the USA.
