Egyptian pre-dynastic art has patterns like Jiroft, Elam art. Akkadian king Naramsin invasion of Egypt during king Manium's (Menkaure's) reign may have been the reason why the ceramic designs on pottery look similar. Later in pharaoh Sahure's reign this kings bas relief pose at Wadi Maghara is similar to the pose on the Narmer Palette showing us the Narmer Palette is not pre-dynastic. Sahure's reign silver and gold was mixed together to produce electrum. At the Royal Tombs of Ur electrum swords were found. Still there is Lagash governor Gudea and Pepi I whom both had trade with the rebuilt city of Ebla,Syria. Then there is the copper statue of Pepi I and the copper statuettes of Ur-Nammu. Bur-Sin king of Ur built a House of Honey, while Egyptian king Pepi II imported Ur honey to be used to coat his naked slaves to keep the flies off him. When Mentuhotep III died a deer shaped artifact was placed upon his coffin lid, while in Troy III the population survived by going deer hunting according to the bones found by archaeologists. Amenemhet II reign, the Tod treasure arrived in Egypt. Several silver goblets were shipped to Egypt from the Minoans. Silver trinkets were found by archaeologist at Troy IV.

There are these trade patterns ignored by historians which can link ancient civilizations trading partners and show us Egyptian history really began with the Age of the Pyramid Builders. Taking the myths and legends out of ancient history reveals to us the Bible is a historically accurate book.
