This is merely an my opinion. It is based on my own research
and conclusions. I do not insist on its correctness but
invite you to consider the theory of a new chronology of the
Egyptian civilization, grounded in the study of Manetho's
dynastic lists and ancient fossils. Between 1913 and 1917,
local workers and farmers in South Africa, in an area called
Boscop, discovered strange skulls. The main characteristic
of these artifacts was an abnormally large cranial capacity.
The skull volume was approximately 1800 - 2000 cm3,
compared to about 1350 cm3 in an average human. Studies
revealed an increased density of neurons in the prefrontal
cortex. This endowed the Boscop people with phenomenal
analytical abilities, memory, and strategic thinking. However,
such a brain required enormous energy expenditure - up to 25%
of total metabolism. The Boscop people, like the race of giant
Nephilim, whose existence is abundantly evidenced, for
example in Armenia, are ignored by modern science. The bones
of Armenian giants - humans over 2.5 meters tall - and the
Boscop skulls are considered mutations of Homo sapiens.
But, the existence of Denisovans was established almost by a
handful of bones and DNA found in a cave. Clearly, the
Boscop and giant humans deviate from the default narrative
of human evolution. Nonetheless, if we set aside snobbery,
certain conclusions can be drawn based on current knowledge.
From about 30,000 to 3,000 years ago, alongside modern
Homo sapiens, other human species existed: Neanderthals, the
Indonesian hobbits, Denisovans, Australopithecines, the race
of giants known as Nephilim, and also the Boscop people. In
Armenia, a unique handwritten document is preserved - the
most complete copy of the dynastic list of Egyptian pharaohs
written by the Greek historian Manetho. This list is still
used by scholars today. However, modern science dismisses
the earlier parts of this list. According to Manetho, in the
beginning, Egypt was ruled by deities: Amon-Ra for 1,000
years, Thoth for 800 years, Horus for 500 years, Isis for
100 years, Osiris for 45 years. This may seem like
fantastical nonsense if one is unaware of the peculiarities
of ancient timekeeping systems. Besides the solar year,
there was a lunar calendar system used in the earliest
calendars, such as the Babylonian. It's possible that
Manetho was unaware of or forgot to account for this. Many
modern researchers also make this mistake. If we use the
lunar year (one month = one year) as accepted in Mesopotamia
and divide everything by 12, then the reigns of these
deities are much shorter: Amon-Ra for only 83 years, Thoth
for 66 years, Horus for 41 years, Isis for 20 years, Osiris
for just 3.5 years. To avoid listing all pharaohs, let's add
the reigns of 19 semi-divine beings, considering lunar years
from Manetho's list. In total, before the first human
pharaoh, this sums to only about 43 years of rule. That is
total roughly 325 years of divine and semi-divine rule in
Egypt. Therefore, if we take the reign of the first confirmed
human pharaoh, Menes, around 3000 BCE, then the
beginning of the era of gods in Egypt dates to approximately
3325 BCE, the era of semi-divine rulers around 3125 BCE,
and the reign of Horus around 3008 BCE. At the same time,
between 6000 and 3000 BCE, the Sahara transformed from
a lush, green paradise into a dead desert. During this period,
certain deities began to appear in Egypt - beings that
started building civilization. These beings looked markedly
different from ordinary humans: they had large, elongated
heads (dolichocephalic), strange skin colors (gray or
ash-colored, greenish or bluish), indicating an origin in
highland plateaus or forested regions. Their skin produced
little melanin and was not pinkish-white or brown like
Europeans or Copts. Setting aside fantasy, we arrive at a
genetic description of the Boscop people. They appeared
was depicted in early Egyptian art: large, elongated heads
(dolichocephaly), deeply set eyes, faint brow ridges, and
unusual skin tones. Their appearance was entirely different
from the dark-skinned tribes of North Africa. Based on
anthropological descriptions, skull analysis, and knowledge
of continental history, we can hypothesize how the Boscop
people evolved: Around 10,000 - 8,000 BCE, during the golden
age of the green Sahara, the Boscop civilization flourished
in the savannas or mountains of present-day Sahara. They
developed proto-hieroglyphic writing, astronomy,
mathematics, and complex hydraulic engineering systems to
manage ancient river waters. Between 6,000 and 5,500 BCE,
a great drought and metabolic crisis began - marking the start
of Sahara desertification. Food resources sharply declined.
For the energy-intensive brains of the Boscop, this meant
starvation. Their civilization rapidly degraded, and the
Boscop race began migrating in search of new habitats. From
5,500 to 5,200 BCE, Boscop colonists reached the Nile again,
seeing the river's floods as a solution to their main
problem - creating stable agriculture to sustain their kind.
From 5,200 to 3,000 BCE, gradual colonization of Nile valley
tribes occurred. The Boscop used their knowledge to:
- Design and build irrigation channels.
- Develop a precise calendar based on Sirius observations
to predict floods.
- They lay the foundations for future statehood.
However, their numbers remained very small. To maintain
power, they intermarried in local human tribes. Their unique
genes became diluted over generations. Their physical traits
(elongated skulls, large heads) gradually disappeared, but
their knowledge and status were inherited within ruling
dynasties. Around 3000 BCE, the state was founded. King
Narmer (Menes), likely a hybrid with significant Boscop
genes, unified Upper and Lower Egypt. To legitimize their
rule, the new elite - carrying the legacy from the Boscop -
deliberately copied their symbols:
- The double crown Pschent - symbolizing unification and
stylized as an elongated Boscop skull.
- The pharaoh's beard - an artificial attribute indicating
wisdom and divine origin, akin to "ancestor gods."
- Artificial skull deformation among the nobility - an attempt
to imitate the sacred head shape of the "founder gods" visually
confirming their right to rule.
Thus, ancient Egypt was not a direct copy of the Boscop
civilization but a remaking - created by sapiens based on
inherited knowledge and imitation of those they considered
gods. The problem with artifacts of the Boscop civilization
is their ephemeral nature. Their main "artifact" was information
- complex oral traditions, songs, records containing ecosystem
models, mathematical theorems, or star catalogs. The memory
of generations was their "library." Their "structures" could
have been sacred groves in the Sahara, precisely measured
ceremonial paths, places for contemplation with perfect
acoustics or views of the sky. Archaeologists might interpret
these as natural landscapes. If such a civilization existed
it could have been composed of just a few thousand or even
hundreds of individuals living in a limited region. They were
not a "racial" replacement for sapiens but a narrow, highly
specialized evolutionary branch. Their small population size
explains why we find no cities. Their material culture was
highly localized and easily was be erased by time. High
maternal mortality limited population growth and created
strong evolutionary pressure against further brain
enlargement. This was a dead end: newborn Boscop infants
were even more helpless than modern human babies. This
required an incredibly complex social structure to care
for offspring, limiting mobility and population size. Their
large heads shifted their center of gravity; they were
unlikely to be runners like sapiens. Their habitat was
confined to fertile areas. Skin color was a sign of
degeneration - likely a marker of high inbreeding in a small
isolated population, making them vulnerable to disease and
reducing viability. In conclusion, the gods of Egypt were
not "better" than us - they were different. Their enormous
brains were an advantage in stable environments but a
weakness when the world changed. As climate became more
unpredictable and resources scarcer, flexible, resilient,
prolific, and energy-efficient Homo sapiens proved far
better adapted. The history of the Boscop civilization
is a tragic story of how extreme specialization leads to
extinction. Perhaps their greatest achievement was
disappearing so completely that we still doubt whether
they ever truly existed.
