thread_title:  Brophy & Rosen satellite imagery article 

message: User:Mathilda37 added the following sentence to the Early history section:
"The population appears to have consist of phenotypically varied Saharan and Nile valley people. Cranial analysis of slightly later populations nearby have shown the population to have been intermediate to ancient Eurasians and East Africans, the result of numerous back migrations from Eurasia into North Africa since the Pleistocene.", which was altered by 75.18.169.96 to: "The site was excavated by Fred Wendorf and John (Kim) Malville. Human remains were found at Nabta, but only the jawbone was left available to Wendorf to examine, the rest being confiscated by the Egyptian museum in Cairo. The study of this jawbone led Wendorf to conclude that the Nabtians were of sub-Saharan descent.". Both of these statements are unreferenced and evidently POV-pushing, but on the other hand they are not trivial. I removed them for now, but could someone more knowledgeable on the subject check out whether they contain any elements of verifiable facts? --Omnipaedista (talk) 06:36, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't believe that a college student web page is a valid and reputable source for citation. Most of the info in the article is cited there. Please add citations from reliable sources (e.g. news articles, websites that solely operate in the field and are well credited, etc.).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.127.168.159 (talk) 08:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: This site gives Nabta Playa's latitude and longitude as 22˚ 32' north, 30˚ 42' east. A. Parrot (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: These coordinates are already in the article. But you do realize that for a stone circle with a diameter of only a few meters, coordinates that only give minutes are pretty useless? ♆ CUSH ♆ 21:17, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: True. I was just supplying what little information I could find online, and (stupidly) I didn't see the coordinates we already have. I can't read the KML file you're asking about; is it more detailed? A. Parrot (talk) 22:18, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The KML shows a (vector) grid based on this map. ♆ CUSH ♆ 09:00, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Location???

message: On 2013/04/08 user Mace123 "corrected" the title of the scholarly volume Holocene Settlement of the Egyptian Sahara by Fred Wendorf and Romuald Schild to Holocene Settlement of the Egyptian and Nubian Sahara, because (says the edit summary) Nabya playa is in the lower nubian region of modern egypt but in early times it belong to sudan or the rest of nubia.Nabya playa is not ancient egypt it's Nubian. So Mace123 decided he knew what the title should be better than Wendorf and Schild. This is hysterical. Contact Basemetal here 15:05, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
