[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Okay, and as informative as all that is, it is a waste of bandspace. Asking why the Egyptians went to war with their neighbors is like asking why the Greeks went to war with theirs or the Chinese with theirs. It is stupid and a non-sequitor that has nothing to do with the fact that the Egyptians are equally as African as their southern neighbors. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] Williams show Ta-Seti kings engaged in military campaigns in Upper Egypt and Libya. Williams states the following in regards to this: [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/Siali-seal.jpg[/IMG] At an A-Group storage cache at Siali, which lies north of Qutsul, is more proof of royalty. On a portion of a seal from this find is a man saluting a bow and a palace façade with the Horus-falcon. Williams states, “the obvious interpretation is that the man is saluting the name for Nubia - Ta-Seti, or 'Land of the Bow.'” This indicates that Ta-Seti was indeed an established kingship and state. Other evidence pointed out by Williams show Ta-Seti kings engaged in military campaigns in Upper Egypt and Libya. Williams states the following in regards to this: “the fallen enemy is labeled Ta-Shemau or Upper Egypt. Although the second group remaining on this bowl is fainter than the first, it can be seen that 'the enemy' has fallen on his back rather than forward. The long flat sign (land) extends from the enemy's knee and the unimpeded vertical identifying sign appears to make a kind of question above - this, in all probability, is the label Ta-Tjemeh or Libya”. http://www.playahata.com/pages/bhfigures/bhfigures24.html Ta-Seti was a pre-unified pre Kemetian state able to take action in Upper Kemet and Libya and had direct trade with the Levant no amount of hand wringing is gonna chance that only further archeological discovery might. [/qb][/QUOTE]Very interesting Brada! I've known about Ta-Seti's conflicts with Ta Shemu but I didn't even know Ta-Tjemeh even existed at this time. If this is so, then Libya was obviously a major polity during this time as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
