The Phoenicians spread it to the Carthaginians who taught it to the Romans. I cannot think of a single example of a crucifixion being depicted in ancient egyptian reliefs although there are multiple examples of bound prisoners being killed by the pharaoh swinging a mace.
Why would you put any stock in the scribblings of a book written so long after Egyptian culture collapsed under the weight of repeated conquerors? For that matter, what is there in that particular verse that suggests anything to do with Egypt at all?
What has to do with Egypt?.
Here is an earlier verse to prove it.
Quran 7:123 Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.
Oh i don't put any stock into it, i was wondering if they had crucifiction in the ancient Egypt, because i was suspicious if they truly had it, or if it was wrong
The Quran is full of anachronisms and tall tales. I am unaware of any signs of crucifiction in ancient Egypt until Rome conquered Egypt. The Babylonians and Assyrians favored impalement as a gory and painful manner of execution.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_pun...yptCapital punishment in Egypt can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian civilization, where the death penalty was carried out against those who broke the Ma'at, a law which forbade crimes such as murder, theft, sacrilege, attempts on the life of the Pharaoh, and spying. Methods of execution included beheading, sacrifice, and drowning in the Nile in a closed sack.
