Do you know what bronze is (quick, look it up on the net)? To save you the trouble, it’s an alloy. It isn’t the first stage of metal working. Moreover, most historians doubt that there ever was an invasion by the Hyksos, despite Josephus’ account.

Whether the Hyksos invaded or migrated, Egypt was well removed from the stone age at the relevant time.

The point is, however, if you actually knew what a stone age culture really is, you wouldn’t fall for the “high count” revisionism that obviously beguiles you. North of the Rio Grande to the Arctic Circle there were very few Indians, and there was no culture remotely approximating Egypt’s or even the relatively more advanced, but still primitive Meso-American cultures.

You may not watch TV, but you sound like you listen to Coast to Coast.

You need to go examine a large collection of stone age tools.

Wrong. The Egyptian didn’t produce bronze swords until they were introduced to bronze weapons by the Hyksos. No bronze weapons = not bronze age. Sorry if that goes against your revisionists agenda.
