[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]ausar, the Ancient Egyptians were not Saints. In many ways, they were just as Barbaric as many of these so called Imperialistic Arabs and Europeans. The Black Africans (Kush & Nubia) were made to grovel and bring gifts to the Egyptians[/QUOTE] This is a huge misunderstanding on your part. The portion of Southern Upper Egypt was not ethnically different from those Nubians or Kushites to the south. Many of the pharaohs of Egypt like the 12th dyansty and 18th dyansty was primarily Nubian in origin. What you have is people of s similar ethnicity fighting each other,but also retaining cultural ties. I advise you to read the texts from the tomb of Harkhuf shows that diplomatic trading went on between the two groups. [QUOTE]They were considered inferior to the Egyptains, and all the pictures we have prove this same thing. The only reason, Nubians and others would be depicted on the soles of shoes, is so that Egyptians can step on them as they walk around. Therefore, to deny that the Egyptains were any less Savage than their neighbors, would be a denial of the truth!![/QUOTE] Well, I already adressed the sandals. Most of the people depicted on the sandals were people from Upper Nubia and Libyans. . Egyptians did not view Nubians any more inferior than the rest of their traditional enemies. Nubians migrated to Egypt and settled amongst the Egyptians in all periods of the dyansties. Its just that unasimilated foreigners were seen as isofret[chaos] vs. Ma'at]balance] and according to this they had to be balanced out by the pharaohs. The colonization that the ancient Egyptians had was much different than the later British. Most of the districts in Egyptian colonies were governed by local princes often trained in the kap[a school for foreign children]. In the case of the Levant and Nubia most of the administration were local people and not colonial Egyptians. The exception was the King's son of Kush,and even sometimes he was chosen from the ranks of the local Nubians. [/QB][/QUOTE]
