| Did the Egyptians pioneer the sciences? Truth: No, they did not. Jeremiah 10:16, 51:19 - The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things. To further answer this, I take you to The Complete Works of Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book I, Chapter VIII, Paragraph 2, where he writes: | ||||
| For whereas the Egyptians were formerly addicted to different customs, and despised one another's sacred and accustomed rites, and were very angry one with another on that account, Abram conferred with each of them, and confuting the reasonings they made use of every one for their own practices, demonstrated that such reasonings were vain and void of truth; whereupon he was admired by them in those conferences as a very wise man, and one of great sagacity, when he discoursed on any subject he undertook; and this not only in understanding it, but in persuading other men to assent to him. He communicated to them arithmetic, and delivered to them the science of astronomy; for, before Abram came into Egypt, THEY WERE UNACQUAINTED WITH THOSE PARTS OF LEARNING; for that science came from the Chaldeans into Egypt, and from thence to the Greeks also. Here are some scriptures to show that the children of Israel had the wisdom and understanding of the sciences. Daniel 1:3,4 - And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. 1 Kings 4:30 - And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. | ||||
| Who built the pyramids? Truth: It has generally been said that the Egyptians were the ones who built the large pyramids currently standing in Egypt; however I beg to differ. It was the Hebrew slaves which built the pyramids standing in Egypt; as well as the pyramids and land mounds found here in the western hemisphere; from the top of Canada, all the way down to the bottom of Chile! | ||||

The Egyptian Pyramids |

| Egyptian scholars and Afrocentrists like to predate the building of the larger pyramids prior to the time of the arrival of the Hebrews in Egypt, c. 2700-2500 B.C.E. Some also state that the smaller pyramids may have been built between c. 720 B.C.E. and 350 C.E. Some of these same scholars also state that slave labor was used in order to complete the building of the pyramids. The Hebrews were slaves in Egypt for 430 years, c. 1876-1446 B.C.E. So now are they saying that during the 430 years that the Egyptians had a free human labor source with the Hebrew people, that there were no pyramids built at all? To avoid this contradiction of statements, some of them say that the Hebrews may have built some of the smaller pyramids during the Middle Kingdom, which lasted from c. 1991-1786 B.C.E. Someone's not telling the whole story here. According to Flavius Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Chapter IX, Paragraph 1, he states that our people did build pyramids for the Egyptians.
