[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [The nature of Egyptian imperialism It is clear that the Egyptians considered themselves superior to non-Egyptians. For example, many inscriptions refer to Nubia as ‘the vile Kush’ or ‘the wretched Kush’. The Nubians are also sometimes called ‘troglodytes’ (primitive, barbaric cave dwellers). The following excerpt from the Tombos Stela of Thutmose I is a good example of such language: The Nubian Troglodytes fall by the sword, and are thrust aside in their lands; their foulness, it floods their valleys; the [—] of their mouths is like a violent flood . The same kind of language was used to describe the peoples of Syria–Palestine who were frequently referred to as ‘miserable Asiatics’. [/qb][/QUOTE]This one was funny, considering that Egypt arose out of Kush. Like America arose out of England. [/qb][/QUOTE]That is actually incorrect. Kush does not precede Egypt. It's the other way round; Kush was established (as an Egyptian colony) thousands of years after Narmer united the two lands. You could make the case that predynastic cultures in Sudan and Lower 'Nubia' are antecedents to Pharaonic Egypt. The ancient Egyptians regarded all their neighbours as wretched, treacherous, wicked and existential threats to their ordered world; they also called Asiatics troglodytyes and regarded them to be treacherous.
