The southern and western parts of Egypt are bordered by African landmass. The Mediterranean Sea and he Sinai Peninsula separate Egypt from Asia and Europe.

This makes it evident that there is a definite link between Egypt and its African posterity. “[Late prehistoric Egypt]…the essentially African nature of many of the central features of Pharaonic civilization…it also explains the innumerable cultural parallels between ancient Egypt and both the ancient Saharan and modern black African civilizations” (133).
