Title: Exposing self proclaimed Linguist Asar Imhotep's poor methodology in his Book Nsw.t Bjt.j-gctid258865
Post by: joshcain95 on Dec 09, 2017, 06:15 PM
Here is a breakdown of self proclaimed linguist Asar Imhoteps book Nsw.t Bjt.j
This book is littered with false cognates, poor methodology, no understanding of history, poor sourcing, over self-citation, conflating and misrepresenting ideas and concepts, grandiose claims, cherry picking etc.

Example:

1. Asar says there was a back migration from India that led to the formation of proto-Semitic and Proto-Indo-eureurasiaan yet provides no source and uses an article that supports Afro-eurasiatic (which he disagrees with)

2. Showing his poor knowledge of basic history, Asar says that essentially each stage of the Egyptian language Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian, Late Egyptian, Demotic, and Coptic was spoken at the SAME TIME throughout the history of the land.

3. Asar totally makes up his own definition of what a dialect is and cites himself as the source.

4. Asar disagrees vehemently with Bantu originating in West Kmt however he sourced a book within his book (And Many other sources) that agrees with Bantu originating in West Kmt.

5. He doesn't think the Copts are a part of the ancient people of Egyptians.

6. Mistakenly uses a Nigerian Pidgin word in an attempt to connect it to an ancient Egyptian word.

7. Erroneously says that the Ile Ife bronze heads have serpents on them and says its connected to Egypt.

8. Uses an aAmwic borrow word in Swahili and tries to connect it directly with ancient Egypt.
https://youtu.be/qIQy_zE5RdY?t=1h16m18s (https://youtu.be/qIQy_zE5RdY?t=1h16m18s)

9. Attempts to connect a proto-Germanic word (500 BC) to a Middle Egyptian word and does not explain when and how they came in contact with each other.
