The major reason is that Egyptian civilization is supported by written evidence about the level of civilization achieved in any period of time as further back as 4500 years BCE and although hieroglyphs are translated and therefore can be evaluated while in the sub Saharan societies such evidence and proof of civilization level is missing therefore someone can only work on assumptions that are not solid.

What are some similarities and differences between hatsheput and Cleopatra?

Hatshepsut and Cleopatra were both powerful female rulers of ancient Egypt, known for their political acumen and influence in a male-dominated society. Both queens strategically aligned themselves with powerful men—Hatshepsut with her stepson Thutmose III and Cleopatra with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony—to strengthen their positions. However, while Hatshepsut ruled as a pharaoh and often adopted male regalia to assert her authority, Cleopatra is remembered for her political maneuvering and romantic liaisons, emphasizing her role as a queen rather than adopting a pharaonic identity. Their reigns also differed in context: Hatshepsut focused on trade and monumental building, while Cleopatra's era was marked by external conflicts and the decline of the Ptolemaic dynasty.


How many years or centuries are there on record for BC - Before Christ?

Writing systems go back more than to around 4,100 years BC. However, simple tokens, the precursors to writing, have been dated to around 7,000 years BC. Early Egyptian records show that its culture was beginning to resemble the Pharaonic ages from around 5,500 BC. The "Old" Predynastic, or Amratian period, started around 4500 BC. The first pyramids were built around 2,900 years BC. Cave art in Europe also forms a record of human existence. This has been dated at up to 30,000 years BC. Prior to 30,000 years ago, we must rely on the evidence provided by archaeologists, paleo-anthropologists, geologists and others. There are physical records of modern humans dating back to around 200,000 years ago.
