[A] Note similarity in form and body structure between Imhotep [20], the 19th Dynasty priests in Thebes [21], and Ur Nammu [22]. The question needed to be answered is how people so physically diverse (as between they and 27 and 31), yet in the same brief window of time, shared the same cultural toolkit in terms of stone and bronze-working skills from Mesopotamia, through China and North America. They also shared the choice of jade for figurine and ornamental artifacts, produced in scale model miniatures of their altars, homes, and implements of daily life, and all possessed the same level of skills in figurine production. And shared agriculture, common agricultural implements, shamanism, and religious motifs, and cosmic world views. What was their common point of origin (as I am not of the independent origin school) and how? ..art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
