CEVAP:

First, Egyptian Civilization springing from the Nile Valley spread to the adjacent regions in Africa and the Middle East. It can be said that Egyptian Civilization is an aspect of African Civilization to which the countries in the Middle East and southern Europe can affirm that they were partakers. Second, the foundations of Judaism and Christianity, in chronological order, were first laid down in Egypt, Africa. The ancient Hebrews were sheltered in Egypt during the 18th Dynasty. Third, when the Prophet Mohammed started preaching the faith of Islam in Arabia, he was faced with persecution by the Meccans. As he battled his adversaries, he sent some of his most faithful followers, including his daughter, to seek shelter in Abyssinia. Finally, we see that Erman affirms that the ancient Egyptians were “natives of their own country, children of their own soil.” In the remotest era of the Egyptian civilization, the Egyptians were insular to Africa only.
