Hyksos scarab

[AdmSmith]

Sorry, but I do not buy this "theory". Back to the drawing board...

[gleeaikin]

Does anyone see this scarab think Celtic? If so it would validate them coming from the north rather than the east.

Can you show me some evidence that the Celts where the only people on the planet that had the mental capacity to draw double spirals? Thank you.

[Renfield]

These same designs are found on Maltese monoliths, that predate Celtic designs by thousands of years.

I want a Stargate...

I want a mothership

[abner]

I would settle for a mothership. Yep. I would.

[gleeaikin]

Yes, Malta, definitely to the North and not the East. But I seem to recall seeing similar designs in some early British stone structures. New Grange ? or others.

[SunkenCiv]

I don't either, but thought it was interesting and fun. The Hyksos were what we would call Arabs.

[SunkenCiv]

It was once thought that the wheel was invented just once, and then diffused out across the Earth (other than into the Americas; this is still used as an alibi for isolationism). Those little squiggles aren't really indicative of some older source etc.

[SunkenCiv]

The little wave patterns aren't the same as the spiral maze gizmos found throughout Europe, nor are they as old. :')

[Renfield]

Current thinking is that the Hyksos were from the northern Agean, which would make them proto-Greeks.

[Renfield]

"Rowley Regis online" is a pretty obscure web site. How on earth did you find this?

[SunkenCiv]

The website turned up in a Google search for, hmm, I forget what. Maybe it was something to do with the Hyksos, I don't recall. But anyway...

Current thinking is that the Hyksos were from the northern Agean,

I'm really, really not aware of any such thinking. It has been claimed (for years, really) that at least some of the Sea Peoples (who are much later in Egyptian history) came from the Greek islands, the mainland, and from Anatolia. That's not my view, but it is very common. I've never heard any such origin offered for the Hyksos.
