Ancient EgyptMesopotamiaIndus ValleyAncient Chinawhat are the coolest of the four ancient civilizations to learn about?
Mesopotamia for being the OG civilization. Egypt for it's unique cultural autism. Indus Valley had some cool cities. China at this stage is irrelevant and stuck in the stone age.
>>16550560Mesopotamia does just seem like the greatest.When does Chinese history start to get good?
>>16550560>>16550602Mesopotamia is overrated af. Egypt accomplished many “firsts” before they did.
>>16550602Chinese history wasn't recorded until the Zhou and won't get interesting until the Warring States period. It spent the first two thousand years doing literally nothing of note just cultivating rice and stone.
>>16550543>Ancient EgyptMediterraneans Chads>MesopotamiaWestern Civilization: Roots>Indus ValleyPajeets>Ancient Chinachinks
Sumer was Aryan. All civilisations were founded by the Aryan diaspora, and then ended by Jewish media.
>>16550606>Mesopotamia is overrated af. Egypt Brainlet take tbqh.
>>16550602The Shang and Zhou dynasties had the best cultural aesthetics. But the history only gets good by the Warring States Period.
>>16550606Nah, it's the opposite. People overhype Egypt too much because of survivorship bias. Mesopotamia is the true first civilization and way more interesting and varied along its history.
>>16550622>What are oracle bonesInb4 divination
>>16550775It's literally divination, retard. The first works regarding history are from the Zhou period.
>>16550543Indus Valley is the most boring of the bunch, but atleast we're certain it's real unlike the Chinese one where most evidence is lock behind red tape. Most of the scarce info we have of the Indus civilization was spear headed by the British who atleast have an impeccable archaeological standard
>>16550560>China at this stage is irrelevant and stuck in the stone age.China suffers from not having any surviving records pre-Shang dynasty.
>>16551016Indus Valley has the biggest and well organized cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. Mesopotamia is a bit behind and Egypt is a shithole in comparison.
>>16550543>what are the coolest of the four ancient civilizations to learn about?Egypt has the coolest art and as you're probably Euro-American or a European, it has the most relevance to your personal history.
>>16551034Massive cope, your little mud wall cities have nothing on the pyramids
>>16551100Big Indus Valley cities are far more impressive than Egyptian shithole and pyramids were a copy of Mesopotamian Ziggurats.
>>16551118Post these massive ruins... oh wait you cant because they were made of mud and only left vague outlines lmaooo
It doesnt matter, all the information we have available is severely corrupted by certain assumptions in archaeology and anthropology. In my 3 and some decades of life they have already moved the date of the Bering Strait crossing (which inn my opinion may not have even happend) by 20 and then 50 and now some say 100,000+ years.We basically know nothing about the Americas. All near eastern studies are greatly perturbed and distorted by arguments over the Bible and its historical status (which fueled most archaeological research in the ANE). We keep changing the story on the Mycaenaens and Minoans, and just like the age of the universe/geological timescale they shift drammatically every generation or two. It's not possible to put together a story of mankind by digging holes in a grid, cataloging found objects and carbon dating. The first generation of diggers were all quickly made obsolete by later digs, and the story just keeps on changing and changingNobody knows what the next hole might turn up, possibly something that causes the whole status quo to be tossed out, but then again such an outlier would end up being debated as a forgery or mistake with endless ink spilled ine way or another.
>>16551122Here are some of the massive ruins. These cities are relatively intact while no city like this exists in Egypt. It's Egyptian cities that left vague outlines of mud.
>>16551153>Massive>1/10th the size of random cities in Mesopotamia It's a tiny fort that is currently under scrutiny because the Pakis just happen to find more ruins an inch under the dirt in the surrounding areas despite a massive British led survey only establishing a small fort sized area.
>>16551153Much of the cities are intact. Aspects of daily life like houses, baths, mounds, streets, wells, sanitation, staircases, etc. Egypt has nothing like this.
>>16551153Also here's what was originally found and stood as such till the 1980's when the Paki's began to fabricate the modern site
>>16551168It's a clean-up. You can see thousands of exposed bricks half-buried in this pic.
>>16551174Das rite, the racist Nazi Germans, Americans and perfidious Anglos purposely kept your history hidden, das rite lmao and no bro if it was there, it would have been unearthed, Euro's did not give a fuck about delicacy in this era
>>16551168For comparison. Not much has changed.>>16551177See pic related and seethe more.
>>16551186>Suddenly unearths 3x's more layers and it's somehow beyond neat>Paki's stop any independant enquiry >Dood totally legit bro Why are you people like this? The Euros thought the fort was important enough to receive international recognition, why defile it with these obviously modern additions? Reminds me of the Africans rebuilding ancient structures in the 1960's and trying to pass it off as ancient
>>16551188The Great Bath, houses, staircases, mounds, streets, hall, wells, guard towers, etc, were already described in the early 20th century. Pakis should rebuild it to look like it did in it's time like this.
>>16551194I dont doubt they'll do it, seeing how they pulled massive amounts of pottery from piles of rubble and then locked it up outside of the grasp of western academics while demanding more gibs from UNESCO to "save" it
>>16550788There's a difference between a purely historical annal and a work that happend to record historical facts. I'm saying that it doesn't have to be the former to "record history".More specifically, what recent scholarship has updated about Chinese history comes from what the oracle bones say and how they differ from sources of Zhou and Han scholars. It's the whole issue of transmitted texts vs archeology.
>>16551118They weren't copies at all. And Egyptian art and science is far superior
>>16551196?????
>>16551360Ziggurats are older and pyramids are just copies of them. Egypt was and is a shithole lagging behind it's neighbors.
Egypt because it was a nation-state under one absolutist ruler with no intermediary princes or governors, while the rest of the world was living as tribes
>>16550543>>16550560>>16551016>>16551034>>16551118>>16551194>Indus ValleyThis shit is no more old than Minoan Crete and Minion Crete was far more advanced. They literally had no attested writing, they were mere jeet pygmies.
>>16551903Minoans didn't have urban settlements until 2000 BC.
>>16551905False, but then they would be just the same as poondus pygmies who hadn't had them either. Oh, still not the same because Minoans had 3 different attested types of script while poondus poovilization had 0 (zero, null).
>>16551905Minoans didn't have urban settlements until 2000 BC.>The Minoan civilization developed from the local Neolithic culture around 3100 BC, with complex urban settlements beginning around 2000 BC.
>>16551353>There's a difference between a purely historical annal and a work that happend to record historical facts.Oracle bones are basically neither. All of them are variations of "Heaven reveal if Lord Xi gets good sleep tonight or not" and other questions. They're not written in ways that state historical facts like "King Rong was the illegitimate son of Queen Pu who became Queen after poisoning her husband king Li in the 40th year of his life" stuff like that starts in the Zhou period.
>>16550775"Oracle bones" are literally just divination.Nothing else.They are overrated in that regard and he's right that chinese history basically did nothing until the Zhou.
>>16551830Pyramids are nothing like the ziggarats>and is a shithole lagging behind it's neighborsIVC>no notable military, scientific, or artistic achievements>absolutely no palaces, temples or even armies>decline and abandoned by 1700 BC and conquered and raped by Aryan BVLLS>shitty language can't be deciphered and is forgotten and irrelevant to the worldEgypt>most advanced mathematics, science and armies>amazing sophisticated art with tons of palaces, temples and statues>lasted all the way until 30 BC when they were conquered by fellow meds romans>language is well known and has massive influence and legacy to this dayYou were saying? No one in the right mind would say ancient Egypt is a shithole. Hell, even modern Egypt is miles ahead of Pakistan.
>>16550543IVC more better in my humble opinion sir, they had toilets that could drive and fly, unfortuneatly this knowedledge is forgetten today due to devilish races like the p*kistanis and br*tishers smdh
>>16552366>shitty language can't be deciphered and is forgotten and irrelevant to the worldBecause it hasn't been deciphered yet.This is a stupid point, like do you think Egyptian hieroglyphs and cuneiform were "popular" and "well known" before deciphering the languages?No, because no one understood them.
>>16552366Ziggurats are older and pyramids are just copies of them.Mesopotamia>created civilization>conquered egypt >most advanced mathematics, science and armies>amazing sophisticated art with tons of palaces, temples and statues>lasted all the way until 800 CE when they were conquered by fellow semitic arabs>language is well known and has massive influence and legacy to this day>extreme religious influence on the entire worldEgypt>no notable military, scientific, or artistic achievements>shitty palaces, temples>weak armies>decline and abandoned by 500 BC and conquered and raped by Aryan BVLLS>shitty language is forgotten and irrelevant to the world >conquered by mesopotamians and other semites numerous times>egyptian cucks had to adopt superior semitic languages>blacked by africansAncient Egypt was not only behind it's neighbors it was a literal dirty shithole that didn't have sanitation like Mesopotamia and the Indus. Iraq has better living conditions and Pakistan is a regional power with nuclear weapons. Egypt is still a shithole dependent on a dying Nile. Thanks Ethiopia.
>>16550543You didn't include the fact that the oceans were different at that time.
>>16552395>two more weeks>>16552410Pyramids didn't copy them retard. Did every pyramid around the world copy the ziggurats then? No they are seperate developments since pyramids are simple designs>mesopotamiaWe are talking about IVC, Ranjeet. Mesopotamia is great in its own right. >Iraq has better living conditions and Pakistan is a regional power with nuclear weapons.Sure thing Ranjeet. Don't doom us all with when your inbred cousin presses the button because he has an autistic hate on his fellow poo brother
>>16552420Shut the fuck up.The IVC was a great civilization on par with the others.
>>16552420>Pyramids didn't copy themYes it did. Ancient Egyptians were building little tombs until the Mesopotamians made them build Ziggurat pyramids.>We are talking about IVC,IVC was not neighboring Egypt but it still was superior with sanitation and toilets dirty Egyptians could never figure out.>Mesopotamia is great in its own right.Mesopotamia was superior and conquered Egypt.>Don't doom us all with when your inbred cousin presses the buttonThey'll nuke Egypt and all the other Arabized slaves instead. I respect them for not being African slaves who got Arabized.
>>16552437Mesopotamia didn't conquer Egypt, Persian Medes did, you retard.
>>16552434No it wasn't. >>16552437>Ancient Egyptians were building little tombs until the Mesopotamians made them build Ziggurat pyramids.Jej, are you talking about that gay Mesopotamian founders theory? No one believes that shit>but it still was superior with sanitation and toilets dirty EgyptiansEgyptians had plenty of sanitation and valued hygiene greatly. Meanwhile, where are all the great works of art and technological advancements, Ranjeet?>Mesopotamia was superior and conquered Egypt.No need to hide behind Mesopotamia to cover for your own inferiority Ranjeet>They'll nuke Egypt and all the other Arabized slaves instead.You'll get nuked by India first you retarded inbred. Go fix your shitty economy already
>>16552410>>16552434Uh oh! jeet alert!!!
>>16552439Mesopotamia conquered Egypt numerous times. Persians were one of many groups to conquer Egypt.>>16552442>are you talking about that gay Mesopotamian founders theoryIt's a fact they started civilization in Egypt. Egypt has nothing until the first wave of Mesopotamians conquered them. >Egyptians had plenty of sanitation and valued hygiene greatlyWhich is why you have to hide that fact these retards didn't have toilets or sewage and pooped on the floors of their homes. The IVC and Mesopotamia had toilets. >No need to hide behind Mesopotamia Mesopotamia was the neighboring entity and was superior to Egypt, but yes India was superior as well.>You'll get nuked by IndiaWhy would they nuke themselves you little retarded beaner?
>>16552461>It's a fact they started civilization in Egypt. Egypt has nothing until the first wave of Mesopotamians conquered them.Source?Also Egypt actually had toilets, you imbecile.
>>16552461>It's a fact they started civilization in Egypt.Nope. Retarded gay theory with no evidence backing it up. Mesopotamia had some influence in early Egypt but to suggest its founders were actual Mesopotamians is baseless.>didn't have toilets or sewage and pooped on the floors of their homes.https://nilescribes.org/2021/01/23/egyptian-sanitary-practices/>but yes India was superior as well.No art, no science, no armies, nothing. Even your one big advantage was lost since Indians shit everywhere now lol.>Why would they nuke themselves you little retarded beaner?I was referring to Pakistan you inbred faggot. That is where most of the IVC sites comes from.
>>16552461>Mesopotamia conquered Egypt numerous timesMesopotamia (Assyria) conquered Egypt precisely one time in 663 BC, and Egypt was under a foreign dynasty during that time. Why are you a lying faggot?
>>16552480Show an example of a real Egyptian toilet. You can't.>Retarded gay theory with no evidence backing it up.>Mesopotamia had some influence in early Egypt>but to suggest its founders were actual Mesopotamians is baseless.It's confirmed.>https://nilescribes.org/2021/01/23/egyptian-sanitary-practices/No toilets. Those are latrine bathrooms. No sanitation, no toilets, no pipes, no sewage. Mesopotamia and IVC had all that.>No art, no science, no armies, nothing. India contributed far more to art and science than Egyptians or the entire Latinx sphere for that matter.>Indians shit everywhere nowOutdated stats and modern Egyptians shit outside.>That is where most of the IVC sites comes from.Most IVC sites are in India, beaner retard.
>>16552489Mesopotamia conquered Egypt but Egypt never conquered Mesopotamia. Seethe more.
>>16552494>It's confirmed.Only by hack historians and archeologists>No toilets. Those are latrine bathrooms.And here we go with the goalpost shifts and no true scotsman fallacy. Can't you Pajeets argue properly?>India contributedWe are talking about IVC you retarded inbred>modern Egyptians shit outside.Far less so than Indian street shitters
>>16552514So you agree that Mesopotamia only conquered Egypt once and not multiple times like your lying ass said. I accept your concession.
>>16552516>Only by hack historians and archeologistsThe truth doesn't make them hacks.>And here we go with the goalpost shifts and no true scotsman fallacyYou don't know what these mean, beaner retard. They had no toilets and sanitation.>We are talking about IVCIndia is a continuation of IVC, retard. India contributed more than Egyptians and the entire Latinx sphere, two truly subhuman groups.>Far less so than Indian street shittersThat is from 2012.>So you agree that Mesopotamia only conquered Egypt onceMesopotamia conquered Egypt multiple times.
>>16552531>The truth doesn't make them hacks.There is scant proof of it so it indeed makes them hacks>They had no toilets and sanitation.They did, not my fault you can't read.>India is a continuation of IVC, retardYou are more retarded than I thought Ranjeet lol. There is zero continuity between IVC and post Vedic India. One was founded by Iranian farmers while the other was founded by your Aryan overlords wno ruled your people.>That is from 2012.That is still true and recent as 2020 you disgusting pajeet.>Mesopotamia conquered Egypt multiple times.I'd love for you to prove this
>>16552543>There is scant proof of it so it indeed makes them hacksYou want to deny the evidence so you call them hacks, wetback scum.>They did, not my fault you can't read.It says they had latrines. Those are not toilets, panchito retard. Toilets, such as in IVC and Mesopotamia, have pipes.>There is zero continuity between IVC and post Vedic India. They are the same.>One was founded by Iranian farmers while the other was founded by your Aryan overlordsThey were the same people. Vedic samples were the same as IVC.>That is still true and recent as 2020Still outdated.>I'd love for you to prove thisEarly Mesopotamians conquered Egypt and established civilization. Then the Mesopotamian Assyrians came and conquered Egypt.
>>16552563>You want to deny the evidence so you call them hacks,There *is* no real evidence you drooling moron. That is reason why I call them hacks. Such a theory hasn't seriously been entertained in decades because its full of problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynastic_race_theory>The dynastic race theory is no longer an accepted thesis in the field of predynastic archaeology.>Modern Egyptology largely maintains the view that "state formation occurred as a mainly indigenous process", although significant differences in morphology indicated migration along the Nile Valley also took place>It says they had latrines.There is no fucking difference you retarded faggot. The article literally has pictures of toilets and yet you deny them. You are in full cope mode.>have pipes.They had those too my little inbred Indian.>They were the same peopleAhahahaha, no Ranjeet. IVC were founded y Iranian farmers as in Middle Easterners. Not Abo filled rejects like your people.>Still outdated.2020 is hardly outdated for this kind of statistic idiot. It was a mere four years ago.https://washdata.org/monitoring/sanitation/open-defecationStats for 2022, cope harder>Early Mesopotamians conquered EgyptIn your fantasy>Then the Mesopotamian Assyrians came and conquered EgyptThe one and only time. Try agai. Ranjeet.
>>16552590>There *is* no real evidenceThen why deny it without evidence? There's only evidence of Mesopotamians teaching and influencing Egypt.>There is no fucking differenceLatrines are not toilets you dumb retard.>They had those tooNope.>IVC were founded y Iranian farmers as in Middle EasternersIndians have Iranian farmer ancestry too, retard.>2020 is hardly outdated Cope harder.>In your fantasyConfirmed fact.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynastic_race_theory>The one and only timeAs well as the Mesopotamians who founded Egypt.
>>16552615>Then why deny it without evidence?That's not how it works dumbass. The burden of proof is on you to prove that the Mesopotamians founded Egypt>There's only evidence of Mesopotamians teaching and influencing Egypt.Which is completely different from Mesopotamians founding an entire civilization you retard.>Latrines are not toilets you dumb retard.https://www.dictionary.com/browse/latrineThank god I'm not a single digit IQ subhuman like you.>NopeThey did.https://www.plumbingsupply.com/pmegypt.html>The ancient Egyptians were early developers of pipe and the techniques of making copper alloys. In the beginning, of course, their pipe and fittings were very crude.You love being proven wrong huh, you little bitch?>Indians have Iranian farmer ancestry too,Only some up north and Pakis do. The rest of you are mostly disgusting aboriginal scum which is why you don't cluster near actual Middle Easterners. >Cope harder.I accept your concession my little street shitter.>Confirmed fact.Nope, not a single credible archeologist believes in it. How strange to cite the very same article that disagrees with you.>As well as the Mesopotamians who founded Egypt.In your dreams.
>>16551150For a long time people pushed that Clovis was the first culture in America and rejected any other evidence; messing up the entire timelineThen you get political shit where they bury any evidence that does not fit the Native American version (''For a million years our people always lived on the land we currently claim; we never migrated or replaced other cultures'')Same shit happened with Mungo Man in Australia
>>16552366>Lasted all the way until 30 BC LolBy 30 bc Egypt had been ruled by Greeks for centuriesAnd before that they were ruled by Persians>>16552410>lasted all the way until 800 CELMAOMesopotamia was conquered by Persians in the 6th century BCThen conquered by Greeks, Romans, Persians again and then finally the Arabs
>>16552761>By 30 bc Egypt had been ruled by Greeks for centuriesYeah native rule ended way earlier but the Ptolemies were the cultural successors to the 30th dynasty and maintained or combined Egyptian culture. Still, ending in 343 BC is way better than 1700 BC KEK>Mesopotamia was conquered by PersiansDon't bother with the retarded Pajeet
>>16552366>absolutely no palaces, temples or even armiesThat would be a win. They managed to create a whole civilization without governments, organized religion, bureaucratic military or other parasites.
>>16551034And ironically, despite all the jokes we make about modern India concerning poo in the loo, the Harappans actually had toilets and sewers.
>>16551100>Le pyramidsEgyptianfags only care about aesthetics. Egyptian people lived in the fucking dirt and terrible cities with a horrible standard of living, while Pharaohs engaged in megalomaniac vanity projects.IVC people lived with best standards of living in the whole bronze age, organized cities with sanitation and conformable homes, and without tyrants making their life hell. Huge monuments aren't a sign of a great civilization. Quality of life is.
>>16552851all bronze age civilizations were shit to live in and it must have been awful to live in the late harappan era due to climate changes and invasions
>>16552851Egyptians had good medicine.
>>16552881Late Harappan Era was indeed a bad time, but because of cataclysms beyond their control. It was the end of their civilization.Early and Middle Harappan, however, were great time for bronze age standards.
>>16552410>Aryan BVLLSSources? I can refute you
>>16552647Semites are west Eurasian, Egyptians semites. This is the same logic you poojeets use to claim the IVC. If the Egyptians have nothing to do with Mesopotamia, then you poojeets have far less to do with the IVC
>>16552761Egyptian culture went extinct around 300 BC. Mesopotamian culture went extinct around 900 CE.
>>16555224Both Egyptian and Mesopotamian culture died when Christianity spread
>>16555234Egyptian culture died when Alexander the Great invaded.
>>16555240No egyptian culture was still well and alive under greek rule hence why rulers continued to worship egyptian gods and build in egyptian style temples. it only waned during roman rulehttps://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/ptol/hd_ptol.htm
I for one really like shang dynasty aesthetics.
I like to learn about all of them, all of them are cool equally.
>>16555234Nope. Mesopotamians preserved their culture while Egypt was hellenized then romanized.
>>16556034Mesopotamia was both persianized and hellenized
>>16556038Cope and seethe. Egypt was assyrianized, persianized, hellenized, romanized, and then arabized. Mesopotamia was only arabized.

>>16556058Mesopotamia had all those too lol. Both regions were conquered many times. at the very least, egypt maintained some relevancy as a greek kingdom while mesopotamia sat around as persian province

>>16556058Egypt was conquered but maintained its distinct culture throughout.The Hellenistic and Roman worlds even went through fads where all things Egyptian were very in vogue.
>>16556065Yes we know Mesopotamia conquered Egypt. That's why Mesopotamian culture and language survived the medieval Arab conquests while ancient Greek conquests destroyed Egyptian culture and language.
>>16556068R1b elite like Ramses?
>>16556073Greek already replaced Egyptian in the 3rd century BC. Mesopotamia on the other hand was fine and continued speaking Semitic.
>>16556078>Yes we know Mesopotamia conquered Egypt.You were already BTFO on this so stop pushing this blatant lie>That's why Mesopotamian culture and language survived the medieval Arab conquestsHow? Aramaic completely lost its relevancy after the Arab conquests and its religion certainly wasn't kept around either
>>16556082>Greek already replaced Egyptian in the 3rd century BC.No, Egyptian continued well into the Arab period.Greek only replaced in the Court, some cities were thoroughly bilingual, and others had little to no direct Greek influence.
>>16556083>You were already BTFO on this so stop pushing this blatant lieYou got BTFO. Did Mesopotamia conquer Egypt? Did Egypt conquer Mesopotamia? You lost every single post.>How? Aramaic completely lost its relevancy after the Arab conquests and its religion certainly wasn't kept around eitherMesopotamian culture and language survived the Arab conquests while Egyptian went extinct long before that.>Greek only replaced in the CourtEgyptians slaves were forced to become fully fluent in Greek. When the Romans conquered Egypt they discovered every single city spoke Greek not Egyptian. When the Arabs arrived in Mesopotamia people were speaking Aramaic.
>>16556100>Mesopotamian culture and language survived the Arab conquests while Egyptian went extinct long before that.Again, this is wrong. Egyptian definitely lasted until the 15th century, likely longer.Egyptian is longest attested, longest spoken language known.
>>16556100>Did Mesopotamia conquer Egypt?Assyria only conquered Egypt once and that was when a foreign dynasty was ruling it. That has nothing to do with greek rule>Mesopotamian culture and language survived the Arab conquests Its amazing how in denial you are about mesopitamian culture ending lolhttps://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/mesopotamia/explore.html#:~:text=For%20some%20three%20thousand%20years,effectively%20come%20to%20an%20end.>For some three thousand years, Mesopotamia remained the preeminent force in the Near East. In 539 BC, however, Cyrus the Great captured Babylon and incorporated Mesopotamia into the Persian Empire. Periods of Greek and Parthian rule followed, and by about AD 100 Mesopotamian culture had effectively come to an end.>Egyptians slaves were forced to become fully fluent in Greek. You have no idea how Ptolemiac rule worked, did you? The Greeks largely segregated themselves from the egyptians which culminated in the largest amount of greek speakers to be in alexandria. They didn't give shit about egyptian being spoken in rural villages or the old capitals of thebes and memphis.>When the Arabs arrived in Mesopotamia people were speaking Aramaic.And Persian because they were being ruled by iranians for over a thousand years by that point lol
>>16555352Armenia lol
>>16556106This. Akkadian and Sumerian, the actual native Mesopotamian languages died off way before the Arabs arrived. Aramaic was actually a Levantine language
>>16556106>Egyptian definitely lasted until the 15th centuryIn a shitty village in nowhere Nubia. All Egyptian cities only spoke Greek and Latin since the 3rd century BC. Aramaic was still important in cities in the 19th century while your slave ancestors were totally buckbroken 2000 years beforehand.
>>16556112>Assyria only conquered Egypt once andSo Mesopotamia conquered Egypt while Egypt never conquered >That has nothing to do with greek ruleGreek rule was the final nail in Egyptian culture.>They didn't give shit about egyptian being spoken in rural villages But they did care about the cities and every Egyptian city was speaking Greek. Then they became Latin speaking. Egyptian was dead.>And Persian because they were being ruled by iranians for over a thousand years by that point lolMesopotamian cities spoke Aramaic. The Persians were tolerant unlike the Assyrians, Greeks, and Romans who destroyed Egypt lol.
>>16556116Aramaic developed in Mesopotamia on the banks of the Tigris, retard.
>>16556136>Greek rule was the final nail in Egyptian culture.Nopehttps://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/ptol/hd_ptol.htm>Examining Egyptian art during these 300 years reveals strong continuities in its traditions but also interactions with Greek art,>and every Egyptian city was speaking GreekNo they weren't. Again, Ptolemaic Greeks segregated themselves from the general populace and hardly intermingled with the nativeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_Kingdom>Ptolemaic Egypt was highly stratified in terms of both class and language. More than any previous foreign rulers, the Ptolemies retained or co-opted many aspects of the Egyptian social order, using Egyptian religion, traditions, and political structures to increase their own power and wealth.>The Persians were tolerant unlike the Assyrians,So tolerant they let Babylon and other Mesopotamian cities to rot while they built their own capitals like Ctesiphon and allowed a massive influx of Iranians and others into Mesopotamia, mutting up the natives. >>16556148It originated among the Arameans who mostly lived in the Levant you retard
>>16556126>Aramaic was still important in cities in the 19th centuryWhat cities lol?
>>16556157>Ptolemaic Greeks segregated themselvesThey integrated the Egyptians and hellenized them. The Greeks ruled as gods over Egyptians. Egyptians worshiped Greeks as gods and started speaking Greek as the Greeks raped them.>So tolerant they let Babylon and other Mesopotamian cities They allowed these cities to be completely Mesopotamian speaking local languages while Egyptian cities were speaking Greek then Latin.>while they built their own capitals like CtesiphonThey also spoke Aramaic in Ctesiphon while Greek and then Latin dominated Egypt.>It originated among the ArameansCheck where they lived, retard. They lived in Mesopotamia on the Tigris. You lose again.
>>16556169>They integrated the Egyptians and hellenized them.No they didn't, read my links already. The Greeks left the Egyptians alone and never forced their language on them. >Egyptians worshiped Greeks as godsYou are retarded. They were the ones that made the Greek rulers follow their religious traditions since it was the only way for them to accept them>They allowed these cities to be completely Mesopotamian speaking local languagesAs were the Egyptian cities. >They also spoke Aramaic in CtesiphonAs a minority language as Persian was the main language as it was an Iranian city>Check where they lived, retard.You are the one that needs to check. They originated from Syria aka Aram and their language would be adapted by Mesopotamian rulershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aram_(region)>The Assyrians and Babylonians themselves adopted a Mesopotamian form of Aramaic, known as Imperial Aramaic in the 8th century BC, when Tiglath-pileser III made it the lingua franca of his vast empire. The Neo Aramaic dialects still spoken by the indigenous Assyrians and Mandeans of northern Iraq, south east Turkey, north east Syria and north west Iran, descend from this language.You got BTFO again lmao
>>16556126>All Egyptian cities only spoke Greek and Latin since the 3rd century BC.No, no that's not true.This is the last (You) you will get from me.You're retarded.
>>16556194>No they didn'tRead some history. All Egyptian cities only spoke Greek and Latin since the 3rd century BC. The Greeks ruled as gods over Egyptians. >They were the ones that made the Greek rulers follow their religious traditionsCoping mechanism to cover the fact that Egyptians worshiped Greeks as gods and started speaking Greek as the Greeks raped them.>As were the Egyptian cities.Nope. Greek replaced Egyptian by the 3rd century BC in all the cities. Aramaic was spoken in Mesopotamian cities in the modern era. >As a minority language as Persian was the main language as it was an Iranian cityAramaic was an official language even in a relatively Iranian city like Ctesiphon. Egyptian wasn't spoken in cities let alone an official language like Aramaic. >They originated from Syria aka AramOn the banks of the Tigris which passes through Syria, retard.
>>16556870>Read some historyYou read some history for once. The only city to fully speak Greek was Alexandria>Egyptians worshiped Greeks as gods and started speaking Greek as the Greeks raped them.Nope. Greeks could only rule legitimately if they assimilated into Egyptian Pharaonic tradition. They even engaged in incest to really drive home the point>Greek replaced Egyptian by the 3rd century BC in all the cities.False with no proof (as usual).>Aramaic was an official language even in a relatively Iranian city like CtesiphonIt wasn't the majority spoken in the city nor the empire in general. >On the banks of the Tigris which passes through Syria, retard.You are a blind retard lol

The Greeks ruled as gods over Egyptians.>Greeks could only rule legitimately if they assimilated into Egyptian Pharaonic traditionThey ruled as gods over Egyptian slaves.>to really drive home the pointThey thought Egyptians were subhuman. That's why they married foreigners but not Egyptians.>FalseGreek replaced Egyptian even if you call it false.>It wasn't the majority spoken in the city No shit, retard. Ctesiphon was a royal city built and inhabited by Iranians, but the Iranians still used Aramaic in Ctesiphon. Aramaic was spoken in Mesopotamian cities in the modern era.>nor the empire in general.Egyptian wasn't the majority language under the Ptolemies lol.>You are a blindYes you are retarded.
