Here’s the thing, you’re not wrong about the levels of technology. As archaic as some things in the 42nd millennium are they are still vastly ahead of what we would consider conventional technology. Take the Imperial Guardsman and his basic combat weapon, the lasrifle. Sure it’s underpowered compared to a lot of stuff in the franchise, most things save for a few weapons assigned to cannon fodder units that are footnotes in the lore and disposable on the tabletop (for the most part). This simple “flashlight” is more accurate and hits harder than any rifle used by a military force today. And that is the equivalent of what is practically an AR or AK platform.Ground combat is brutal, vicious, and fatal for large percentages of the forces involved. Even the mighty Astartes take casualties in the grander campaigns. So why wouldn’t you just bombard large swathes of land from orbit and call it a day?Well….They do, frequently. Orbital bombardment is used frequently, along with various modes of air support by all the various factions. Which means that the various factions also work to counter these methods of ordinance delivery via their own air support and space based weaponry.But if your question is about why the fighting isn’t simply done in space. Well that gets very complicated.Let’s take Imperial Agri System 101 of the RnDM Quarter Sector. A small planetary system that is less than a footnote in the logs of a menial Administratum drone half an arm of the galaxy away. It is known for the two chief exports of the system, meat for the ginder (Guardsmen) and the actual food for aforementioned meat.As it is an area of Imperial Space there are defenses. Defense platforms here or there, perhaps in orbital, suborbital and planetary based varieties. Maybe the local Imperial Navy Patrol Squadron of a few light frigates and maybe an old cruiser sweep through the system every few months. Enough to discourage your basic pirate raids but the system isn’t really worth bothering with. There is nothing there…..Until things get hungry.These things come in various guises and have several varieties of hunger. Maybe it’s ACTUAL hunger. That Tyranid splinter fleet needs some more biomass so they can prep to nom on the next big system. Maybe the Orks need some more meat for the larder. Maybe it’s a less solid hunger. Maybe some Dark Eldar need some more pain and suffering to feed their flesh forges. Perhaps Tau wish to spread the Greater Good to this small backwards system to bring them to glory. Maybe it’s just the Chaos gods decided in all their trolliness that it would just be fun to screw with these people.Regardless, once someone or something decides to take this system, there isn’t really much to stop it. They are going to bring more than just a few ships, they are bringing a fleet with enough resources to conquer the entire system. More than enough firepower to wipe out the orbital platforms and the laughably small patrol group. At which point, as simply destroying the planet is not the objective, they begin to land ground troops to capture everything they need. Be it food, people, or resources, simply nuking everything from orbit is not an option as it tends to ruin the food, people, and resources.This leads to brutal ground campaigns as people don’t want to give up their stuff, or themselves, very easily and this is normally in the story where the local PDF unit responds and is killed to a man, (I’d include an image but I’m lazy) and thus the taking of the many things begins.However! Before the Imperial Cruiser My Greatest Failure it’s blown to itty bitty pieces of space dust Comm Servitor H319 and Ensign Mikey manage to relay a message up to the ship’s Astropath and a message is sent the nearby Imperial forces. And approximately three week to thirty years later, not hyperbole mind it sometimes does take THAT long to mobilize a Defense/Liberation Fleet due to a hellish mixture of bureaucracy, incompetence, infighting, logistics, and traveling through a LITERAL HELLSCAPE, salvation arrives. Usually in the form of a bigger or badder fleet than the one that first took the system. This will consist of multiple naval elements of capital ship scaling with designs and size range that would give even the Death Star pause and various support and transport vessels. Maybe you even get some Strike Cruises or Battle Barges from the Adeptus Astartes, usually one or two but sometimes more. And the entire purpose of this massive fleet is to take back the former Imperial world one bloody meter at a time. Because remember, life is cheap in the grim darkness of the 42nd millennium and millions of lives lost in a campaign to retake a world is barely worth mentioning because BY THE EMPEROR THEY TOOK OUR STUFF!!Anyway, the goal is to wipe out enough of the enemy forces to allow the ground forces to do their job and stop bothering the nice orderly Navy boys, and the mud feet are more than happy to be away from the starched arses in control of the ships. This is where the massive portion of your space combat will take place, simply to get troops on the ground. Because again, nuking the problem from orbit will be a waste of resources and despite what memes will tell you the Imperium does not Exterminatus THAT often…usually. And after many years, or decades, or centuries of combat the planet is back in the Imperium and ready for a fresh batch of Mechanicus Servitors and Techpriests to turn the besotted world into a Forge World as after so much combat nothing will ever grow again and there is enough scrap to make a dozen Titans at this point, or toasters the Cogboys are weird like that.But to make a long story short, as ideal as it would be for all the conflict to be resolved in space the need for resources will always drive a force to invade a planet. In order to invade you need to usually have more troops than your opponent, someone might correct me but I think a 3:1 ratio of attackers to defenders or something but more doesn’t hurt, because you still want to have enough guys to handle the job you set out for when you get there. The defenders will fight tooth and nail to stop it but unless you are just a very bad, not that uncommon in 40k, Admiral or General you are going to attack with the superior force. This will always lead to ground conflicts, just like a conflict in our day and age can’t be fought simply on the oceans you do have to put boots on the ground.Which isn’t to say that there aren’t operations and actions that involved just trying to destroy enemy fleets. Folks always have time for that. As someone pointed out there is an entire game variant, and video game franchise, called Battlefleet Gothic that is just about space battles, though you do have bordering actions going on as well as even in space the chainsword goes RIP AND TEAR!Thank you for your time if you’ve read this far!

The relatedness of ancient Egyptians with Africans south of the Sahara has been obscured by the European colonial discourse and downplayed if not denied by the descendants of Arab conquerors in Egypt.Egypt is a conquered land. Conquerors tend to impose a foreign identity and an alien culture on the conquered people. In addition to an alien culture, conquerors impose their religious beliefs. Egypt is no exception.Ancient Egypt was Kemet. Modern Egypt is Misr.Ancient Egypt was the Land of Ham, the biblical father of African nations.Modern Egypt is the headquarters of the Arab League and a major player in the Middle East.Ancient Egyptians used the hieroglyphs. Modern Egyptians use the Arabic script.Ancient Egyptians spoke ancient Egyptian language. Modern Egyptians speak Arabic.Ancient Egyptians had their own Gods and Goddesses. Modern Egyptians have one God.…Volumes were written about the Bantu expansion in Central, East and Southern Africa. Books were popularized and documentaries were given great publicity. The Bantu Expansion and how it impacted Africa : headlines and major chapter in school curricula.…Volumes were also written about cultural similarities between ancient Egyptians and people of West (Dogon, Wolof, Yoruba etc.) Central (Kuba) and East Africa (Watutsi, Hima, etc.). But they are hard to find. The content of these books is not part of school curricula.The main question is why?Ancient Egyptians were people of the Nile.People of the Nile are a very specific group and yet diverse group of Africans.Kemites : EgyptiansKushites : Horners and NubiansNilotes : Luo, Alur, DinkaNilo-Saharans : Tebu, Fulani, Bidiat etc.East Sudanic people : Mangbetu, Azande.All these people were in ancient Egypt in various capacities and played different roles.Watutsi are people of the Nile. They are Kushitic migrants in the Great Lakes Region. They have lookalikes in the Horn of Africa. Cultural similarities between ancient Egyptians and Watutsi were established and documented. Similarities in hair styles, dress, jewelry, musical instruments and many others.EDIT # 1Egypt and Negro AfricaEgypt and Negro Africa by C.G. Seligman (1934)If we look at the map of Africa and consider its deserts and forest belts, we see that there are three obvious routes by which Egyptian influence might reach the heart of Negroland-i.e. Upper Nile area, the Congo and the rainforest of the West. Further, when we examine the ethnological evidence we cannot but conclude that Egyptian ideas and technological devices reached both Equatorial and West Africa. This is perhaps least disputable on the technological side with regard to musical instruments. The routes in question are:1. Up the White Nile, past its junction with the Blue Nile and southward along the River2. Along the North African coastal belt to Tunis, ultimately reaching the area north of Senegal, but whether coastwise or south of the Atlas is not clear.3. Up the Blue Nile, along the foothills of Abyssinia to what is now Uganda, and across the Great Lakes to the Congo…..Here, too, is found an elaborate attempt at preservation of the royal body, which may well point back to mummification, while the “shooting the nations” by the king of Bakitara can scarcely be other than of Egyptian origin. West and somewhat north of the Lake area, the small harp of the Azande known as kundi so closely resembles that of ancient Egypt that there can be no doubt of genetic relationship, again, in the Belgian Congo such features as anthropoid coffins, and the enormous quantity of cloths in which a corpse is enveloped, clearly point to Egyptian influence. I think, too, that the belief in multiple souls, so common among the tribes of the north-flowing tributaries of the Cong, has the same origin.….The Arts of Black Africa (African Studies Center, UCLA): Laude, Jean, Decock, Jean: 9780520023581: Amazon.com: BooksDogon myths recall certain traits of Egyptian mythology.

Discover the true causes and dynamics of African slavery.Les chemins du Nil : Les relations entre l'Egypte ancienne et l'Afrique Noire: Lam, Aboubacry-Moussa: 9782708706323: Amazon.com: BooksCourtesy of Google TranslateThis book, a logical continuation of From the Egyptian Origin of the Fulani, focuses the problematic of relations between ancient Egypt and Africa on the whole that constitutes West Africa and presents in this field of capital convergences hitherto unseen. The question of Negro-African cultural unity thus rests: are the multiple similarities between Egypt and Black Africa explained solely by a common Saharan cradle, dislocated before the outbreak of the Pharaonic civilization, and late and indirect influences of the land of the pharaohs on the rest of the continent? It is this pattern which, despite its obvious shortcomings, is preferred by a good number of specialists from various disciplines and affiliations.Yet Negro-African oral traditions ignore the Sahara and insistently designate the Nile Valley as the region of origin of many populations now living in the western extremity of Africa. Today, thanks to them, it is established in this book that Korotoumou ba (the river of Korotoumou) and the "Great Water" of the Mande traditions, as well as Heli and Yooyo, the mythical country of the Peuls, undoubtedly refer to the valley. of the Nile. But in an even more striking way, they make it possible to identify with precision the origins of the first great state of West Africa, Ghana: those of the Soninkés, corroborated by data from Egyptology and West African archeology. , now allow us to state with certainty that it was not the Neolithic people of Dhar Tichitt who were the founders, as some have argued so far, but the elements of one of the very first waves of migration that fled from the Persian invasion of the great Negro-African metropolis.…..Amazon.fr - Egypt in Africa - Celenko, Theodore - LivresHow "African" was ancient Egyptian civilization? By juxtaposing visual evidence of common cultural features found in ancient Egypt and among African people across the continent, such as maternity images, headrests, masks, animal deities and symbols, body art, ancestor worship, depiction of the human form, circumcision, and male initiation, "Egypt in Africa" explores the highly controversial question of the African nature of ancient Egypt. Original contributions by 28 authors representing the perspectives of archaeology, art history, physical anthropology, African studies, Egyptology, Afrocentric studies, and classical studies present diverse and sometimes opposing viewpoints on aspects of this hotly contested topic. Among the contributors are Chike C. Aniakor, Molefi Kete Asante, Robert Steven Bianchi, Arthur P. Bourgeois, S. O. Y. Keita, Chapurukha M. Kusimba, Frank M. Snowden, Jr., and Frank J. Yurco.

This task is super challenging, but here is my plan to fix this shit hole:Replace those high Lords with somebody more competent and talented to do the jobPromote Grandpa Cawl to Fabricator General and promote innovation in AdMech for more new techs and possibly, rediscover DAoT techsHave the Mech Arks' schematics replicated and have them mass produced to boost the firepower of every imperial fleet with Blackhole cannons and more archeotechUpgrade all Imperial Knights and Titans to make them at least 3 times as powerful as they were.Design new Titans that dwarf the Imperator Titan in terms of firepower and size.All services become voluntary and no conscripting to solve morale problemGive PDFs and Guardsmen better training to make a regiment of them more than a match for heretic astartesReorganize the Astra Militarum and PDF into a more efficient and effective force without losing its godly-ridiculous numbers; plus give every guardsmen a suit of power armour and an improved lasgun that can at least penetrate and destroy heretic astartes armour. Also have them under the command of the Astartes forces they're with.Begin relying more on cloning tech to increase recruitment of Guardsmen.Have every world (important or not) garrisoned at least 100 Warlord Titans , a million guardsmen and introduce expendable but powerful drone grids. While having each world's orbit defended by 3 starforts as powerful as the Raptorous Rex and at least a dozen Mech Ark replicasConstruct Surface to Space defense emplacements on every planet, making them a hell of a challenge even if the Space Garrison is destroyedUsing the STC constructors schematics found in Mech Arks, have AdMech try to mass produce STC constructors to maximize every imperial world's industrial capacity, and probably even creating hand held individual STC constructors that can the smaller STCs equipmentBegin terraforming and colonizing as much planets as possible so that we may have more planets available for use as we wish.Create a new variant of immortal astartes that will have 0 mutation and 0 chance of chaotic corruption, also making it available for older astartes and primaris astartes to be upgraded to it so that we won't lose those veterancy.Reorganize the Space Marine chapters into “Corps” and allow all Space Marine Corps to expand as much as they want.Allow all 20 Space Marine lineages, regardless of their loyalty during the Great crusade and HH, to be used.Give these Space Marines a new suit of armour that is light as air, but more durable than even Terminator armour, in addition to that, equip them with individual power reactors and shields that is equal to old Imperial Knights' strengthDesign a revolutionary design of vehicles that has the purpose of a tank and a ground transport that can change modes of it's travelling either in tank treads or using anti grav platings depending on the situation, while at the same time, grantibg them the firepower and protection of 2 baneblades and mobility of a predator, and most importantly making them very very cheap to buildAllow all Astartes to build, deploy and maintain warbots, drones and “combat auxillaries” (and by that, it means non-astartes troopers trained and led by the astartes themselves) as they requireBuild a military academy on Terra that's for further training Astartes recruits before being sent to their Corps and to the frontlines, increasing the cooperativeness astartes of different lineage.Give every service member and citizen of the Imperium a better quality of living: each service member having larger quarters and a personal armoury, with a STC constructor whose sole purpose is to produce grenades, spare parts for each weapon and ammo that the user needs, therefore making every soldier self-sufficient in terms of small arms, reducing the needs to produce small arms for troops so that AdMech can devote more resources into building war machines; while all citizens may have more comfy beds, furniture and maybe even higher quality food, thereby increasing productivity.Allow all service members to individualise and customise their weapons to match their preference, but pose some strict rules in the design (namely standard weapons caliber and magazine compatibility)Prioritize all enemy targets ( divert 5 percent of Imperial forces ending the Ork threat, for example)Build a psychic communicator with the Emperor to find out his will, and hence, ask for his permission to upgrade the Adeptus Custodes into something much more fitting to be the personal guardians of the Emperor.Also find any methods possible to revive the emperor without disabling the Astranomican or killing anymore psykersDisband the Adeptus Ministorum, which has been running the Imperium to the ground; and enfore the Imperial TruthMake alliances with Xenos like the Tau and the Eldar so that more military efforts can be concentrated on more serious threats like Dark Eldar and ChaosCreate a Human webway using the knowledge of the Emperor during his webway project and those of the Eldar's in an attempt to remove the risks of corruption by chaos by completely isolating the WarpThese are my plans, but in the dark, I have more underway………
