[QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] Thank you all for listening, again. In the show I mentioned a verse from the Bible that is very telling on the origin of the ancient Egyptians. I couldn't find it last night because I was looking in the wrong book I published (it was in my text Nsw.t Bjt.j (2016)). In Ezekiel 29: 13-14, it states: "Yet this is what the Sovereign Lord says: At he end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians fro the nations where they were scattered. I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt, [b]the land of their ancestry[/b]. There they will be a lowly kingdom." The word used for Upper Egypt in Hebrew is "patros" (Greek Pathoures, Phathores). It is a loan from Egyptian pA tA-rsy "the southern land." This areas was also known as tp-rsy "the south"; tp-rsj "the head; the north" (remembering that the "north" was our modern "south"). Thus, it was clear even for the Biblical writers that the Egyptians proper came from the south, which is arguablly "Nubia." This is the historical context that is missing in these debates. So when we juxtapose this to testimonies of Herodotus and others, there is no denying that the Egyptians are a branch of Nubian people and are Black Africans by modern standards. This flies in the face of the Abusir study, which only goes to show that those mummies were foreigners who became Egyptian citizens. No different than an Aztec Native American becoming a U.S. citizen and being buried in Oklahoma. [/QB][/QUOTE]
