[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 147061, member: 45"]Just to clarify, [I]Reboot[/I] says in Post #2 that the item is in Algeria. In Post #11 he rejects the connection with Egypt, claiming his item is from an African civilization called "Sommarah," (which doesn't exist, unless it is a misspelling of "Sumarian," as [I]Komokwa[/I] guessed in Post #14 [U]might[/U] be the case.) In post #16 the statement "[I]Sumerian civilization 2,000 years ago, and this is found in the pre-farming area[/I]" isn't clear, and makes no sense. Is [I]Reboot[/I] agreeing that it is Sumerian now, even though he claimed it is African before? Or is he still claiming it was found in a "tomb" in Africa? Did he ever say where it was actually found? In Algeria? Somewhere else in Africa? Where exactly was this so-called "Sommarah" culture supposedly located? "[I]The pre-farming area[/I]" doesn't indicate where this came from at all, since about every place on earth was a "pre-farming" area at one time. My guess is that he is disagreeing with the idea that it is Sumerian, since he claims it is African, and therefore should be aware that the Sumerian civilization was in southern Mesopotamia (now Kuwait and Iraq), which is a long way from Africa. This might just be a language problem, as suggested. In any case, until that can be solved, or [I]Reboot[/I] can accept the fact that [I]All_fakes[/I] has already correctly identified the item and given proof, I think we've given all the help that can be expected.
