[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundiata: #9 Nubia has already been confirmed as the first Monarchy in history, this is indisputable. No need to obscure the facts. http://www.homestead.com/wysinger/qustul.html [/QUOTE]I agree with your general position that Mustafino's post offers little in way of 'real' rebuttals. Having said that, the 1979 piece was right about the status quo at that time; however, in 1998 Dreyer found tombs in what is dubbed as the "Nagadan complex", tombs that appear to be contemporaneous with those in lower Ta-Seti - the A Group. Your intro post says: [i]9. On the 1 March 1979, the New York Times carried an article on its front page also page sixteen that was entitled Nubian Monarchy called Oldest. In this article we were assured that: “Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia” (i.e. the territory of the northern Sudan and the southern portion of modern Egypt.)[/i] Still, the earliest attestations to the "white crown" is in the Ta-Seti [so-called "Nubian"] tomb regalia. Early Nagadan royal figures seem to commonly sport the 'red' crown type before the likes of the late "King Scorpion". King scorpion was shown wearing both crowns, the 'red' one and the 'white' one. The same is true for Narmer, and pharaonic kings thereafter, wearing the 'white' crown. Amongst the contemporaneous royal tombs in Nagada with those of Ta-Seti, is said to be that which belonged to an earlier "King Scorpion". [/QB][/QUOTE]
