Why didnt they build a wall here?
>>17432440Desert acts as natural wall already.
>>17432440Because it's mountainous desert. Also it took 1000 years to dig a fucking canal from the red sea to the Nile. A wall is a non-starter.
>>17432440>build on sand>a shitty foundation to build anything on>wall falls overCongrats retard.
>>17432461they were conquered via that route like 10 times >>17432467mountains are only on south of Sinai. Wall isnt as difficult to build as canal, they built the pyramids >>17432468pyramids are built on that same sand buddy
>>17432478>pyramids are built on that same sand buddyThe pyramids were not build on sand, they were build on the bedrock of the plateau.
>>17432440>Ancient Egyptian culture began in Upper Egypt (South) which was closer in proximity towards Sudanese and Saharan cultures and proceeded to spread North rather than beginning in Lower Egypt (closer to Levant).>The Ancient Egyptian aesthetic and culture most closely resembles Cushitic and to a lesser extent Nilo-Saharan culturesreally makes ya think.
>>17432544Egypt was the first globohomo BBC-worshippers.Christianity and Israel were the north-eastern mediterranean Levitic whites, whereas Cohen of Babi were the first chudjews, being blackhaired white mutts who larped as the OG Huwite masters of Afroland.
>>17432505plenty of bedrock in the area where wall would be too>>17432544I mean yeah? is this news? Egypt was African civilization>>17432650Egypt wasnt globohomo in any sense, they knew they were the best and didnt need to go full globohomo like persia, alexander or rome
Massive border walls aren't as effective at preventing a mass armed incursion as most people think. Like lol just knock it over and walk through. You put a wall there instead of an army, which means there is nobody there to defend the damn wall.People look at the (newest, fanciest) bits of the Chinese Great Wall and forget that a) it was really a necklace of guardhouses for early alert and signal relays and b) it didn't actually fucking keep barbarian horsemen from attacking the empire, like ever
>>17432478>Wall isnt as difficult to build as canalIt's quite a bit harder. A canal requires less engineering and material than a wall, especially if you want to wall to actually be sturdy.
>>17432664>Egypt wasnt globohomo in any senseBy what metric?>Does it's best to create monoculture in the land it controls>Externalizes primary industries outside of agriculture>Expends great resources to conquer foreign lands to import cheap labor>You are not [tribe] you are Egyptian! rootless mutt bullshitPretty globohomo to me.
>>17432767>create monoculture in the land it controls>land it controls>globhomoRetard.
>>17432440Because the Egyptians were too busy wasting all kinda time, effort and resources building useless cemeteries.
>>17432440The Nile delta being important is a rather modern thing, the power center of ancient Egypt is usually around Waset (i curse the greek names).
>>17432777the USA tries to control the world.Egypt tried to control its own known world.USA literally modelled its government and monuments from the Egypto-Greco-Roman continuum, to the point where they not only imported Egyptian columns but decided to build their national monument after the Obelisk of Heliopolis.Egypt considered itself the center of knowledge on earth, and so does USA.And in broad strokes both are correct because both were at the forefront of academic as well as military might for a long time during their golden ages.Disagreeing with these things just because you dislike the term "globohomo" and its connotations, does not remove the underlying OTHER interpretation that both sides acted as a unifying block of insisted truth in an otherwise tribal-centered world."Globohomo" is simply the term many choose to ascribe to this western-reaching branch stemming from egypt.You would have been correct in pointing out that China, Persia & India have their "own" versions of world-intended worldviews competing with globohomo as opposed to tribal lore.The whole point is that each system is trying to bring the world under/integrate it into its own perception, because the system itself is the reason for its own being.The USA might not have copied Egypt, greece or Rome 1/1, but each new one in succession have been adamant about being inspired in large part by these particular predecessors, meaning they openly admit to belonging to a single block.
>>17434341>Egypt tried to control its own known world.Except they never tried to control the lands in Greece or Iran which they knew existed.
>>17434345>never triedi'd have to disagree on that one. Egypt had the same aspirations as their descendant empires. the difference was their resourcepool compared to their adversaries.
Because you’d have to commit forces to guarding the wall
>Egypt was the first globohomo BBC-worship-ACK
>Why didnt they build a wall here?Because they weren't flaming faggots like op. Beside, that wall would not have stopped the invasions via Mediterranean Sea.
>>17432708so your point is that they didn't build a wall there beacuse they knew it wouldn't be worth it because they would not be able to man it because it was desert?
