I'm curious as to why the Nubian/Egypto use of columns effect much of Asia and Europe and not other parts of Africa?

Well some civilizations didn't feel the need to build massively for others environment and material a may have played a roll in how some buildings were produced..the same thing for example with the Beja and writing despite having intimate and a long-term relations with both Kush and KMT they didn't adopt Kemitic script..but the Axumite did in fact use similar buildings in their civilization. |

What you have to understand is that Column and Beam known as "Trabeation" is pretty simple but it was the Egyptians who first made a secret art out of it making "Capitals" and Pillars to represent the Lotus and Papyrus. Also Proto-Doric was made at Hetshepsut's morturary temple thousands of years before the Greek Doric Column. What you have to understand is that "Stone Masonry" as an art is pure Nile Valley in origin. If anyone can show Capitals and Freestanding columns older than the ones found at the Temple complex of Dojser please post them. The art of Stone Masonry was used for Thousands of Years in Egypt and Nubia. Other Asitatic and Greek cultures only mastered it for a couple hundred years. The Influence came FROM Egypt/Nubia out of Africa to Asia and Europe. There are obvious influences...   |
