New timeline for origin of ancient Egypt

[icymist]

A new timeline for the origin of ancient Egypt has been established by scientists.

A team from the UK found that the transformation from a land of disparate farmers into a state ruled by a king was more rapid than previously thought.

Using radiocarbon dating and computer models, they believe the civilisation's first ruler - King Aha - came to power in about 3100BC.

The research is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society

1. Velikovsky vindicated ?

2. I have not read nor will I, the writings of Velikovsky.

I'm not sure if this vindicates him or his version of histories of ancient civilizations. In fact, I don't endorse anybody who writes with a creationist slant. I personally believe that the society that became Egypt is much older. This bit was in the news today.
