'race' having any central role in the genesis of intellectual history in Kmt at the predynastic or dynastic stages, it nevertheless attempts to perpetuate the historical hoax which invents a Hamitic race whose complexion is dark but whose noses are aquiline, and so forth. This European-invented 'race' caused Iris Berger (1980, p. 68) to observe that ' $[t]$ his highly racist view credited all achievements of African civilizations to light-skinned northern outsiders'. As Wallis Budge progressed in his educational development, he was able to make cultural comparisons with Kmt and the rest of Africa, where he found comparable living customs at the time he conducted his research (1890s-1920s) (Wallis Budge, 1893, p. 52). James Henry Breasted (1909, p. 25) went one step further, locating a 'composite' origin of Nile Valley civilization in North Africa/Libya (peopled by fair-skinned Caucasians) and East Africa (peopled by the Galla, Somali and Bega).
