If you continue southwest you’ll cross the border into southeast Libya and, if you keep on going, venture into the northeast corner of Chad, in Central Africa.
It’s a daunting, perilous, journey. And now, thanks to a body of new archaeological, textual, environmental and linguistic research, we have evidence that the ancient Egyptians undertook it.
In an article recently published in the Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections, Thomas Schneider, a professor at the University of British Columbia, lays out this wide assortment of evidence.
“It’s something really new,” said Professor Schneider in a telephone interview. “There’s a new window opening into the past of Egypt.”

🎶It's a new focus, but an old notion that the Egyptians came from the Sahara...people looking for greener lands as the Sahara dried out...

✨️sahara early proponents

+7
The theory that Ancient Egyptians migrated from a green, habitable Sahara to the Nile Valley as the desert dried out is known as the Green Sahara or Saharan Pump theory. This connection remains a foundational concept in the understanding of predynastic Egyptian population history and state formation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Proponents and Scholars
• Dr. Karl Butzer: A pioneering geographer and environmental archaeologist who, in his 1976 foundational book Early Hydraulic Civilization in Egypt, extensively explored how changing mid-Holocene environments and the drying of the Sahara pushed pastoralist groups to settle permanently along the Nile. [1]Dr. Fred Wendorf: A prominent archaeologist who led massive excavations at Nabta Playa in the Egyptian Sahara. His work in the 1970s and 1980s produced definitive evidence of early cattle herding, complex societal structures, and religious practices in the desert that predated the Pharaohs, which he argued migrated to the Nile. [1, 2]Dr. Frank Yurco: An Egyptologist at the Field Museum in Chicago who championed the perspective that the roots of Egyptian pharaonic kingship and culture were deeply embedded in northeast African and Saharan pastoral traditions.UNESCO International Scientific Committee: In Volume II of the General History of Africa (published in 1981), scholars strongly argued that Egypt was an indigenous African civilization with a mixed population that originated largely in the Sahara. [1]Dr. Rudolph Petri: An early 20th-century anthropologist who, based on his excavations in predynastic Egyptian cemeteries (such as at Badari), proposed an indigenous African, Saharan, and Nubian basis for the earliest Egyptians.
Why the Theory Emerged
During the African Humid Period (roughly 12,000 to 5,000 years ago), the Sahara was a lush grassland populated by mobile pastoralists. As the climate abruptly changed and the desert desiccated (around 3900 B.C.), these populations were forced to relocate to the only permanent water source: the Nile River. The integration of these Saharan nomadic cultures with indigenous Nilotic populations and later Near Eastern farmers is considered the catalyst for the development of Egyptian civilization. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

🎶can't consider this and not wonder if the "12,000" years time is linked to the Younger Dryas...

✨️Sahara drying coincides with Younger Dryas

Yes, there is a clear, documented link between Sahara drying and the Younger Dryas. [1]
The abrupt return to near-glacial, cold, and dry conditions in the Northern Hemisphere between 12,900 and 11,700 years ago caused a massive disruption to the African Humid Period. As the North Atlantic cooled, the West African monsoon weakened, rapidly shifting North Africa into a sharp, regional arid phase. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The climate anomaly caused several distinct effects:
• Monsoon Collapse: The southward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) starved the Sahara of its usual monsoon rains, leading to a severe drop in net precipitation. [1, 2]Vegetation Loss: Lush savannahs and temporary lakes shrank significantly, forcing localized vegetation into desert-like scrub. [1, 2]Prehistoric Migration: The resulting hardship forced early human groups in the Sahara to adapt or move to more reliable water sources, such as the Nile Valley. [1, 2]

🎶deserts thereabout are really really dry, like Peru...unlike hereabout where there is scrub...which makes me think a sudden change caught plant evolition flat footed...

✨️why are Sahara, Saudi Arabia, deserts without plant life?

Nutrient-Poor, Porous Soil: The soil is heavily weathered and consists mostly of sand or bare rock. Sand drains water instantly and is very low in the organic matter necessary to sustain plant growth. [1, 2, 3, 4]Cyclical Climate Shifts: Geological studies show that both the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula were once lush savannas. However, natural 41,000-year cycles in Earth's tilt and orbit cause these regions to oscillate between wet periods and extreme deserts. [1, 2, 3]

✨️why are Peru's deserts without plant life?

✨️are some deserts too new for plants to adapt to them?

🎶nope, ai says...but see its say!...anyway, I left a comment to the aforementioned blog...

I was having this idea...this idea!...and found this looking for it...Pashedu Tomb Western Mountain...Donkey trail into the Western Desert-famous cave there...rock art nomadic herding hunting...dogs with leashes-red sash...Osiris with red sash...Anubis guardian with sash...Abydos 1st Dynasty Tombs...Osieron...Pilgrimage journey to Osiros birth place...this trail trails off into the Western Desert, aaand that was my track to here...cool!

🎶the "idea" being the canyon trail, and the blog links it to one of Book of Gates, that that journey has elements of the for real Trail into the Western Sahara...

🧐(47) The West Beyond the West: The Mysterious “Wernes” of the Egyptian Underworld and the Chad Palaeolake

A e Amduat, one of the Egyptian guides to the underworld, provides specific descriptions and measurements relating to the first three hours aer sunset, during which the sun god Re passes through an interstitial realm (the first hour) before arriving at two gigantic sweet-water oceans (the second and third hours). Rather than seeing in this imagery reflections of the unconscious and antecedents of modern psychotherapy (as has been proposed by some modern scholars), the present work argues that the description was inspired by actual knowledge of the environment of the region to the distant southwest of the Nile Valley, beyond the Gilf Kebir and Gebel Uweinat on modern Egypt’s southwest corner. Recent evi- dence has made plausible that the Abu Ballas Trail connected Egypt with the Chad Basin of Central Aica. Elements of the factual description provided in the Amduat (including environmental and linguistic details; e.g., the hitherto unexplained name “Wernes”) can be corroborated by modern palaeoecological reconstruction of the area as having comprised gigantic palaeolakes, as well as by linguistic and narrative evidence.

Game on...on the radio...pregames, Angels and Dodgers...Rays at Dodgers, Angels at Diamondbacks...there's a scene from movie The Godfather where a Don lifts a tiny coffee cup, and while doing, lifts up his pinkie finger...I dont dote over gangster movies, but this scene, an exchange, a deal, an extortion payment, is a pause...much seen scene...artists of the deal!...so, so, I went snarkie, as I do, and dropped in the comments..."Pinkie Up!"...🍿...dont do this, drop snarks in the comments!...a good snark diverts...this one to the girl group, Katseye.

What they are: Freud proposed that during childhood development, a child goes through psychosexual stages (e.g., oral, anal, phallic). If a child experiences severe frustration or overindulgence at any stage,

✨️Freud's comments on ancient egyptian fixations

Freud drew heavily on the work of philologist Karl Abel, who studied ancient Egyptian "primal words". Abel discovered that in ancient Egyptian language, a single word could denote both an idea and its exact opposite (e.g., strong and weak). Freud incorporated this concept into his own theories of the unconscious, noting that dreams similarily operate without logic, freely representing elements via their "wishful contraries"

🎶Freud was into Egypt...they all were...try this again:

✨️Egyptian flax hieroglyph

In ancient Egypt, flax was the cornerstone of the textile industry, primarily used to produce linen. It was also spun and spliced into lamp wicks. Cultivated along the fertile Nile River, this plant provided the cool, lightweight fabric worn by both royalty and commoners. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The concept appears across a few different disciplines:
• Textile Production: Surviving textiles from ~ 3500 to ~ 600 BC show that Egyptians used a "spliced and twisted" method to connect flax fibers and spin them into durable linen thread. [1]Hieroglyphs: The twisted flax symbol (\(\mathbb{V29}\)) represents the uniliteral phonogram "h" (often used for lamp wicks). [1, 2, 3]Science: In biochemistry, "Twister ribozymes" get their name because their 3D structure strongly resembles this ancient Egyptian twisted flax hieroglyph.

🎶top of eighth...Angels 2-Diamondbacks 4..."twister ribozymes" a curio!...

✨️The Sa (𓋸) is the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol and amulet for protection. The loop resembles a tied papyrus or cloth leash (collar/loop). It is tied around the necks of deities and sacred animals, representing protection and a "lifesaver" meant to ward off evil. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Because of the physical shape, it is widely considered the precursor or equivalent of the leash in ancient Egyptian art and religion. [1, 2]
The symbol is heavily featured in contexts involving:
• The Afterlife: Often depicted worn by Anubis or tied onto mummies to protect the deceased on their journey.Sacred Pets & Deities: Associated with the Taweret and Bes (deities of childbirth and protection). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

✨️In ancient Egyptian astronomy, "mooring ropes" refers to the celestial cords or tethers that bound constellations to the sky. These ropes represent a brilliant intersection between the Nile’s physical geography, practical engineering, and their spiritual mapping of the heavens. [1, 2, 3]

The Stargazing Tools: Ropes and Sights
Egyptian astronomers and architects did not have telescopes; instead, they relied on carefully measured ropes and simple sighting instruments: [1]
• The Merkhet: An L-shaped sighting bar with a suspended plumb-line.The Bay: A palm branch with a sight-slit held up to the eye.Measuring Cords: Palm fiber ropes used by "rope-stretchers" to lay out astronomically precise temple axes and pyramid foundations. [1, 2, 3]
The "Stretching of the Cord" Ceremony
Before any major monument or temple was built, the pharaoh and priests performed the "stretching of the cord" ritual. [1, 2, 3]
• The Process: They used calibrated mooring ropes to stretch a perfectly straight line between poles. [1]The Goal: They used this line to align the building's axis with circumpolar stars (such as those in the Big Dipper) to perfectly align with true north. [1, 2]The Meaning: This tethered the physical, earthly world to the eternal, unchanging realms of the night sky, helping to maintain Ma'at (cosmic order). [1, 2]
Celestial Mooring Ropes in Mythology
In Egyptian astronomical texts and tomb ceilings, certain constellations were visually depicted as being physically tied down: [1]
• The Bull's Leg (Meskhetyu): This constellation, corresponding to the Big Dipper, was often depicted in ceiling diagrams as a bull being tethered to a mooring post driven into the ground by the goddess Tawaret. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]The Concept: This "mooring" illustrated the orbit of the northern circumpolar stars, which never set and were thought to be "tethered" as they rotated around the celestial pole. [1, 2, 3]

✨️🧐https://www.worldhistory.org/First_Dynasty_of_Egypt/

🎶Trout up...Rays at Angels...thought was, is, that because only one tomb remains, the others were destroyed-an impression one king took down the previous one's tomb...

✨️Did Egyptian first dynasty kings take down previous king's tomb?

Yes, but not systematically as an act of destruction. First Dynasty kings occasionally dismantled, expanded, or repurposed the tombs of their predecessors, primarily due to the limited space at the sacred royal cemetery of Umm el-Qa'ab in Abydos and out of a desire to utilize established, blessed real estate. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Limited Space: Because the Abydos cemetery was the established burial ground for Egypt's earliest rulers, new kings had very little room to build. They frequently built their own tomb directly beside or on top of an older one. [1, 2]The "Musical Chairs" of Burials: Later First Dynasty pharaohs often expanded or slightly altered earlier tomb shafts to accommodate their own burials, accidentally disturbing or repurposing the previous king's funeral items in the process. [1, 2]The Case of King Djer: The tomb of the third First Dynasty King, Djer, was later revered as the legendary resting place of the god Osiris. By the Middle Kingdom, this ancient tomb was heavily visited and refurbished by later pharaohs who sought to associate themselves with the divine ris the uler. [1, 2, 3]
