primitive state to a civilized one. A society that existed 5,000 years ago possessed a more advanced level of
civilization than some communities living in the same country today, something that cannot be explained in
terms of "evolutionary progress." There's also no doubt that during the time when the Egyptians were en-
joying their advanced civilization, there were more backward communities with people living under more

primitive conditions in Africa and other parts of the world. Yet none of these individuals had any features
that were less than human, nor any supposedly ape-like traits. The Egyptians, other people living in primi-
tive conditions at the same period, as well as them and human communities that existed hundreds of thou-
sands of years ago, have all been as entirely human as present-day Man, in all respects. Some communities

may have lived in more advanced conditions and others in more backward ones, but this does not show, as
Darwinists maintain, that they are descended from apes or that one race evolved from another. Such an in-
terpretation is a violation of science, reason and logic.

Ancient Egyptians' Achievements in Textiles

It can be seen from fragments of linen cloth that have survived from 2,500 BCE that the Egyptians pro-
duced very high-quality fabrics, in terms of both materials and weaving. Most important of all, however, are
the details in the weaving of the cloth. In 2,500 BCE, the Ancient Egyptians were producing delicate fibers of

the kind that are made today in machinery equipped with advanced technology, which linen was used for
49
wrapping around mummies. The delicate weaving of these fabrics has amazed Egyptologists. These spec-
imens are so fine that one needs a magnifying glass to distinguish them from silk, and this fabric is compa-
50
rable with the best work of the present-day machine loom. Even today these fabrics are renowned for their
quality, and the Egyptian linen made today owes its fame to the weavers who lived in the 2,000s BCE.
