The human remains discovered at Jebel Sahaba, (a southern Egyptian site associated with the 15,000-year-old Qadan culture) had a cranial match to the Ashanti people of West Africa - as seen in this study below.
Why do the Ashanti people still dress this way?
Lets try and connect the dots here.
The Qadan culture is over 14,000 years old.
The human remains found in the Jebel Sahaba site (associated with the Qadan culture) showed cranial affinities to modern West Africans
Modern West Africans are STILL displaying cultural affinities to the Egyptian Pharaonic culture (which is merely a chieftainship).
If West Africans are from the prehistoric period associated with Qadan culture, and yet they STILL have the Pharaonic culture, the Pharaonic culture must be over 14,000 years old (seeing that the Qadan culture was also 14,000 years old).
The obvious answer is that the people of the Qadan culture started the Pharaonic culture but were absorbed by other groups carrying West Asian genes.
This invalidates the claim that the ancient Egyptian Pharaonic culture started in 3000 BC.
The Pharaonic culture (which is merely a culture of kingships and chieftainships) already existed throughout the agricultural tribes in Africa. Even the hunter-gatherer and proto agricultural tribes in Papua New Guinea who carry very old haplogroup C, show similar culture of chieftainship deep inside their jungles.
Most likely, in prehistory, these tribes found in the tropics used biodegradable materials to dress their chiefs and kings (as seen in the below image). Such materials can’t be unearthed in archeology if they’re already degraded.
Mainstream academia can only use guesswork. For all we know, those cultures of the tropics could have been around for tens of thousands of years, going back 40,000 years ago. But archeologists can never determine how long they’ve had the culture since all evidence is degraded.
Even now, the Sahara, where farmers once lived, is all but sand. Archeologists have no clue what happened during the periods of the green Sahara since all the evidence is gone.
The obvious answer is that all of these cultures could have existed in the tropics for tens of thousands of years. Mainstream academia has a long way to go when it comes to studying the history of the tropics. They have based all their studies in regions of the world with moderate climate. All they can tell us so far is a history that goes back to 11,000 BC, of which they always focus on the Middle East.
The culture and traditions of the tropics only arrived in Europe after a group of nomadic West Eurasians (linked to the ancestors of Berbers) migrated south at the end of the ice age and absorbed the tribes of the tropics who were crop cultivators and horticulturalists. The absorption created a mixed population similar to Ethiopians, who carried the E1b1b haplogroup into Europe and took the new culture and cultivation techniques back into Europe, which was later spread by the Anatolians.
The migrants also carried a new set of genes with an African MtDNA, as in the below.

How did Ancient Egypt become so powerful so quickly? Much of its early success was thanks to fertility of the Nile Valley and Egypt’s abundance of agriculture.

The difference between the three Kenneth Branaugh Poirot movies is so wild. You have Murder on the Orient Express which is a perfectly average adaptation, neither particularly good but not egregiously bad either, and a perfectly average movie erring on the side of hamming it up a bit. You have Death on the Nile which is a kill it with fire dumpster of an adaptation without even having the benefit of being an entertaining movie to boot. And then you have A Haunting In Venice which is a legitimately innovative adaptation and a well-crafted movie besides. Please let them all be like A Haunting in Venice from now on.
