[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] Actually, archeological evidence shows that both the Red Crown and the White crown originate in the Upper Nile Valley region. I reckon that the reason the Red Crown eventually came to be associated with north regions, is that the Red Crown line of kings progressively [prior to the introduction of the White Crown in the Nagadan strongholds] brought certain territories in that general region under their control to some degree or another before the effective unification of the entire sub-region [both Upper and Lower Egyptian regions] under one centralized polity. The White crown may have been introduced from lower Ta-Seti shortly before said unification. Of course, by Piye's time, the delta areas had long been part of the state of "Kmt"; but yes, it does appear that the Piye considered himself the true ruler of both Kush and Upper Egypt, which would unit those regions in that sense. Therefore, the context in which the delta areas are placed here, is one wherein the state of Kmt was not effectively united, but experiencing a period of rivalry between power players in the delta and Upper Egyptian regions, each with a vested interest in bringing the rest of the country under [i]their[/i] control respectively; it thus makes sense for Piye to consider delta areas, prior to bringing them effectively under his control, to be "outsiders". Thus the situation here is all about 'relativity'. I doubt that the local kings of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt necessarily considered the "other" territory as a 'separate country' from their sphere of influence, notwithstanding the political divisions.
