[QUOTE]Originally posted by Myra Wysinger: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb]As opposed to the others who have a specific geographical frame of reference, where is the territory of this "nubian"? Was he from the 1st cataract? 2nd cataract? 3rd cataract? 4th or 5th cataract? Further south?[/qb][/QUOTE]20th Dynasty, Ramesses III (1184-1153 BC) At this time there are recorded ties to southern Nubia, as far south as the fort of Buhen, that lies just north of the Second Cataract on the Nile River. The local military power, which was neither the Hyksos nor the Kings of Thebes, but the King of Kush. A family covering five generations left inscriptions at Buhen and these show that the last two generations served the King of Kush. The Kushites captured Buhen during the 13th dynasty, and held it until Ahmose I recaptured it at the beginning of the 18th dynasty. It was stormed and recaptured by Kushites forces at the end of Egypt's 20th dynasty. Over a period of nearly 2000 years, the fortifications seem to have been occupied by a succession of different cultures (Egyptians, Kushites, and the Meroitic peoples) without the need for major reconstruction. The erection of the Aswan High Dam in 1964 has fully submerged Buhen, and all the other monuments along this stretch of the Nile River, under Lake Nasser.
