[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] ^ Nubia is a Kemetic, that is "ancient Egyptian" word. It means 'gold' and referred to gold bearing regions of Kemet. The city of Nub.t [nubia] is actually found in Ta Shemu, upper Egypt.... Look, shown below is the oldest known reference to Nubia: [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 Nub.t[/QUOTE][IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/naq3a.jpg[/IMG] All the concepts of Nubia we use now, are dated back to the Romans - who used the Kemetic word to refer generally to people south of Kemet. Many of the people now called Nubians - Nuba, Noba, etc. speak Nilo-saharan languages. Well the root word of Nubia, Noba, etc.. has no meaning in those languages. In fact, in some of these Sudanese languages Nubian means 'slave' because they inherit the word as as alien 'Roman' term. Prior to the Roman and Greeks - there is no country of Nubia as referenced in ancient Egyptian, Merotic or any other records. [/QB][/QUOTE]
