That some of the megalit-builders behind several of the megalits around the North Sea region not only seems to have had some influence/diffusion from the Mediterranian area, might very well as some pointed to be correct.

Founded is not the correct word to used. Sumer and Egypt developed, they
weren't 'founded'.
For Egypt, look here:
http://www.touregypt.net/ebph5.htm
No references I admit, but plenty of detail that can be checked. No
'founding there', and certainly no evidence of outsiders coming in at 3000
BC.
Also http://africanhistory.about.com/od/egyptology/a/PreDynasticEgpt.htm

Gradual development is shown there, not something suddenly happening from
outside.

And you have been asked for your source for 20000 dolmen in Palestine and
details about how any Palestinian dolmen fit into your argument. They
vary, some are clearly related with certain settlements, and as I have
told you before:
"my copy of Dolmens for the Dead, Megalith Building through the
World, by Roger Joussaume, has pictures of Dolmen from 'Palestine' in it
that are distinctively different from those in NW Europe, it is clearly
not well established that they are 'identical'. Unless you are a follower
of Yair Davidiy, of course, who does make this claim. "

Megaliths (my guess is you aren't really talking about only dolmen) are
found all over the world, some very old, some pretty recent. But they
differ in age, design, associated artefacts and burial types, etc. And
there are vast areas where there are none also.

No, clearly not as there is so little in common.

It really is time for you to start talking about detail. I've seen your
20000 dolmen figure several times and you never give any detail. And you
don't appear to know anything about the development of civilization in
Egypt.
