But it's also culturally part of the Afro-Semitic world, which was not, is not, and has never been limited to just Mesopotamia and the Levant. It's actually quite likely that Proto-Afro-Semitic originated in Africa and only later encountered Sumerian to form the complex Babylonian and Akkadian belief systems. It really doesn't matter whether Egypt is MORE Africa or MORE Semitic - it's both and there are many different ways of cutting the pie. I'm not saying blend it all together and treat Egypt and Babylon as interchangeable. I'm saying that Dark Sun is not drawing on just one point of influence.</blockquote>
