In August 1914, Professor M.A. Gonzales was excavating Mayan ruins in the city of Acajutla, in Mexico. The two illustrated statuettes were uncovered (Left). On the male, the headdress, the beard, and the cartouche are all typically Egyptian in style. The male is thought to represent Osiris, the female Isis.

"The pre-dynastic Pharaohs of Egypt had close connections with Sumeria as established by the discovery of the Gebel Arak knife in one of the Abydoss pre-dynastic royal tombs. The figure on the knife is of the Sumerian Hero/King Gilgamesh, and it shows him in his typical stance between two lions (Right)."
И, наконец - The pre-dynastic Pharaohs of Egypt had close connections with Sumeria as established by the discovery of the Gebel Arak knife in one of the Abydoss pre-dynastic royal tombs. The figure on the knife is of the Sumerian Hero/King Gilgamesh, and it shows him in his typical stance between two lions (Right).
Egyptian hieroglyphs are a slightly modified conventional form of the Sumerian diagrammatic picture-writing which came into use during the rule of Menes and the 1st dynasty pharaohs; they have the same phonetic values as their parent picture-signs in the Sumerian[5].
Menes (Manj of Egyptian legend) (Manis of Mesopotamia) (Min or Minos of Greek legend) erected Egypt into an independent kingdom and preserved its independence within the Mesopotamian empire when he succeeded to the throne after his father's death; Menes was the prince of Sumeria and governor of the Sumerian Indus Valley. Menes annexed and civilized Crete and extended his rule to the Pillars of Hercules and Britain[5].
Menes was the son of Sargon (who had a Queen named Lady Ash), or "Sargon the Great"[5] of ancient Mesopotamia and Menes and his dynasty referred to themselves as "Gut"(Goth) (in Indus Valley seals) and "Bar" or "Par"(Pharaoh) (as referred to in Egyptian records).
Menes' Egyptian inscriptions were written in Sumerian script (not the later conventionalized hieroglyphs) and deciphered to match Menes' Mesopotamian and Elam records as well as his official seals in the Indus Valley (where he was a Sumerian governor there until he revolted against his father (Sargon) and annexed Egypt)[5]. Menes had a son named Narmar or Naram (Naram Enzu) whom he sent to the Indus colony of Edin as a viceroy.Это все по
These early references to Sumerian and Egyptian communication also supports the records of a mass immigration of people called the 'Shepherd Folk' into Egypt from the East at around the same time as the decline of the Sumerian Empire and the simultaneous rise of the Egyptian Dynasties."
