Hmm, interesting proposal. It would mean that Kartvelian and Eurasiatic
are seperate from AfroAsiatic which would have developed in situ. Based
on my linguistic explanation of a three-branched Nostratic - this
doesn't quite work unless Eurasiatic and Kartvelian developed in Africa
too - quite unlikely. At the very least, Nostratic must be situated near
the mouth of Africa to Eurasia, negating your hypothesis.
Gerry here: Couldn't Nostratic be situated on the Wadi Hammermat close
to Hierkonpolis? This would provide direct access to the Red Sea.
