[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Set originated in Upper Egypt in the town of Nubt. [QUOTE] Naqada was the necropolis of the town of Nubt, the town of gold, known in Greek as Ombos. It had been devoted to the god Set, or Set of Nubt, Nubty, as he is called in the Pyramid Texts, and as evidenced by inscribed blocks found at Naqada. Seth was thought to have been born in the Naqada region and had been connected with the kingship from Early Dynastic times at least, appearing on the macehead of King Scorpion. Along with Horus, Set was embodied in the person of the king. First Dynasty queens held the title "she who sees Horus and Set," and the Second Dynasty king Peribsen emphasized Set as his protector. There are ruins of the temple dedicated to Set which dates to the 18th Dynasty in New Kingdom times. [/QUOTE]From: http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/naqada.htm Set was often called Set the Nubty or Golden one or Nubian. With Nubt meaning golden city. Naqada is the modern name for the region around Nubt and is used to refer to the predynastic culture in the area. When the Hyksos invaded Egypt Set became their chief deity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
