[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Getting more to the topic, Nubians especially Lower Nubians were long noted to be the closest in affinity to Egyptians which contradicted the 'Wretched Black Nubians" propaganda that early Egyptology was spreading. [/QUOTE]You have "Wretched Black Nubians" in quotes yet if you look that up in google the result is zero Closeness of biological affinity has nothing to do the term "Wretched Kush", that is the term translated by Breasted. The context of it is not describing a physique it's describing an enemy nation and there is a similar translation when describing Libyans: _________________________ Merenptah’s record: [QUOTE] [i][b]The wretched, fallen chief of Libya, Meryey,[/b] son of Dyd, has fallen upon the country of Tehenu with his bowmen … Sherden, Shekelesh, Ekwesh, Luka, Teresh, (all Sea People), taking the best of every warrior and every warship of his country. He has brought his wife and his children … leaders of the camp, and he has reached the western boundary in the fields of Perire. … infantry and chariotry in great number were camped before them on the shore in front of the district of Perire.[/i] [/QUOTE]Amenemhat I and Senusret I’s Nubian expeditions are confirmed by graffiti left by the participants at Gebel el Girgawi, about 180km south of Elephantine. Further expeditions occurred under Amenemhat II, but it was during the reign of Senusret III that canals through the First Cataract were constructed and the southern frontier was pushed to the Third Cataract and the forts of Semna and Uronarti were built. Year 8 under the majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt: [QUOTE] [i]Khakaura (Senusret III), living forever. His majesty commanded to make the canal anew, the name of this canal being: ‘Beautiful are the Ways of Khakaura OPERATIONS IN THE SOUTH — THE NUBIAN NILE 67 living forever’, [b]when his majesty proceeded up-river to overthrow Kush, the wretched.[/b] Length of this canal 150 cubits (75m); width 20 (10m); depth 15 (7.5m). Year 16, third month of the second season, occurred his majesty’s making the southern boundary as far as Heh (Semna). I have made my boundary beyond that of my fathers. … I captured their women, I carried off their subjects, went forth to their wells, smote their bulls; I reaped their grain and set fire theret[/i] [/QUOTE]An inscription on the island of Sehel near Elephantine, describes how Thutmose I had to clear the canal built at the First Cataract during the Middle Kingdom before he would be able to attack Kush. His majesty commanded to dig this canal, after he found it stopped up with stones, so that no ship sailed upon it. He sailed downstream upon it, his heart glad having slain his enemies.172 The clearing of a canal would normally be considered a constabulary state building task, but such a task was also undertaken as part of a military operation. In this instance: His majesty sailed this canal in victory and power, at his return from overthrowing the wretched Kush.

The Ancient Egyptian maritime forces of the Middle Kingdom could pick and choose in which Syrian wars they preferred to participate. The biography of the noble Sebek-khu, from Abydos, describes how he led a reserve force during a battle fought by Senusret III in Syria. [QUOTE] [i]His majesty proceeded northward, to overthrow the Asiatics. His majesty arrived at a district, Sekmem was its name. His majesty led the good way in proceeding to the palace of ‘Life, Prosperity and Health’, when Sekmem had fallen, [b]together with Retjenu (Syria) the wretched,[/b] while I was acting as rearguard. Then the ‘living-ones’ of the army mixed in, to fight with the Asiatics. Then I captured an Asiatic, and had his weapons seized by two ‘living-ones’ of the army, for one did not turn back from the fight, but my face was to the front, and I gave not my back to the Asiatic.[/i] [/QUOTE] https://www.navy.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/IntSP_1_Ancient_EgyptSP.pdf [/QB][/QUOTE]
