What of Asia? India, Japan, Korea, China, the Steppe Cultures, Thailand, Siam - there is a rich history of conquest and cultural hegemony throughout the region that dosn't get factored in...

I agree that whether they believe it or not; the West is the result of an Egyptian lineage. Even the European Jesus comes off as a weird retelling of Osiris - but that's another story.

I just think it's scapegoating to blame the entire CONCEPT of Imperialism on Europe, when as a people; our only really original ideas have been scientific. I mean, culuturally, we've only exhibitied a few sparks of imagination... most of or cultural insititutions come from elsewhere.
