DATING EGYPT VERSUS AMERICA
If the United States of America was, comparatively, as ancient as even the most conservative age estimates that are placed upon the antiquity of Kemet, the black land, Ham's son Mizraim, or as it is now more commonly, "Egypt," the Greek name for this yet marvelously fecund land, our history as a nation would have to date back to 1,017 B.C. , from 2017, not to 1789 nor to 1776. We as a nation would have had to date our origins way back, continuously, comparatively, until a time before there was a Greece or a Rome; just Nubia and Sumeria.
Of course, some authorities like the ancient Egyptian priest, Manetho, who lived @ 300 B.C. says ancient Egypt was older than 10,000 years at the time he wrote out the list of kings from which Egyptologists yet work to confirm descent. Aristotle, of Athens, who lived just before Manetho, says that ancient Egyptians' mathematics, as taught to their toddlers at play, literally goes back 10,000 years before him, in his classic, THE LAWS.
