[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] I say aware because the AEs seem to be oblivious to "Libya' any further west than the nearest oases. For instance Carthage is late New Kingdom times yet where in AE records do we find Carthage mentioned in any kind of contact. We don't know for sure how far westward of Cyrenaica was the Meshwesh homelands. They could've been as far away as Algeria. But anyway the AE's seem pretty clueless about who inhabited what to them was Amenti.x3st "GhostLand" until folk from there quite violently burst in upon them. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] I would say arose as the Egyptians were aware of "Libyans" prior to the Meswhesh, whence they were termed Tehenu or Temehu. The first Libyans found depicted in Egypt and identified as such did not look much different than the Egyptians. Therefore, the AE were aware of the people to the West long before the Meshwesh arrived. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]What I am saying is that the Meshwesh were not and are not the original Libyans or the first Westerners identified by the Egyptians. Therefore, when talking about the populations along the coasts of Northern Africa at the earliest periods of Egyptian history and earlier, you cannot assume that they were like the "meshwesh". North African and "Libyan" history did not start with the "meshwesh" and certainly not with light skinned migrants northern Africa. That is unless the original black populations of Northern Africa don't count..... [/QB][/QUOTE]
