[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] Adam's claim really has no substantive value, when it comes to addressing Williams. Williams' case has been that the Falcon tradition of Kingship, along with the familiar Hedjet, that characterized Dynastic Egypt comes from the Ta-Seti A-Group. And he has tangible evidence to back him on that. He never implied that there were no Nagadan rulers running concurrently. It is understood that the A-Group rulers were a powerful bunch, since their cemetery was the richest in that region, until the 1998 Dreyer findings. It is still amongst the most furnished cemeteries of that sub-region and era, i.e. [i]pre-dynastic[/i] Nagadan period. Of the numerous depictions available, not a single Nagadan ruler or figure have to date been seen with the Hedjet through much of the duration of that complex's existence; it only [b]suddenly[/b] makes its appearance in the Nagadan territory at the [b]turn of the Nagadan period[/b], and hence, the emergence of the Dynastic era. The Qustul depictions of the Hedjet precede its Nagadan appearance. The [b]sudden[/b] appearance therefore suggests that the Hedjet and the falcon concept came from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is certainly not the Delta region. The Qustul cemetary answers this question: the Hedjet tradition came from Ta-Seti, Qustul. This is the case Williams made. Take a cue directly from Williams himself: http://www.ankhonline.com/ankh_num_6_7/b_williams_historical%20essence%20of%20ancient%20nubia.pdf Furthermore, there is [b]no evidence of military conquest of the A-Group[/b] rulers. What simply happened is their sudden disappearance from their territory. But this sudden disappearance is compensated by the sudden appearance of the Hedjet and the falcon tradition in Nagada at the turn of the Nagadan period...which may very well hint on where the A-Group rulers actually ended up. And no, this situation cannot be compared with Upper Egyptian take over of the Delta, as there are no indications of such powerful element in the Delta region as that suggested at Qustul. Furthermore, none of the familiar [i]Dynastic[/i] era regalia have their precedence in the Delta area. The Deshret crown has its precedence in the Nagadan region instead of the Delta. It is around this time that the Hedjet has [i]its[/i] precedence at Qustul. The Qustul incense burner and the other items sporting images of the ruler wearing Hedjet [and there is [b]more than one occasion[/b] of such imagery] are not a Qustul import, as they were made of local material. So, Adam's claims in that regard, has no merit. It makes no sense for Qustul elite to furnish their burials with [i]locally[/i] produced materials depicting [i]foreign[/i] rulers, as opposed to Qustul rulers themselves. [/QB][/QUOTE]
