A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

vanced 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 primitive conditions at the same
period, as well as them and human communities that existed hun-
dreds of thousands 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 interpreta-
tion 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 produced very high-quality fab-
rics, 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 wrapping around mummies. The delicate
weaving of these fabrics has amazed Egyptologists. 49 These speci-
mens are so fine that one needs a magnifying glass to distinguish
them from silk, and this fabric is comparable with the best work of
the present-day machine loom. 50 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.
