The War of Vesosis (sesostris) the egyptian and Tanausis the goth



Saying that Sesostris was called emperor of the world is very weak as evidence that he went to war with Europeans


You say that Goths, Thracians, Spaniards, and Scythians had no written history yet say there is documentation that Egypt had many wars with Europeans.

Where is this documentation? Obviously it is not primary source "documentation" (if we really want to call it documentation)

Where is the Egyptian record?

Egyptologists say that evidence that Egypt had many wars with Europeans is very weak despite the semi fictional writing of 6th-century Roman bureaucrat Jordanes talking about a 19th century BC king Sesostris over a thousand years earlier

So you have NO primary source, no source contemporary with Sesostris, but legend to you is fact.

And where is there even documentation of an oral tradition making these claims, anything outside of Jordanes ?

provide me with an Ancient Egyptian source from the time of Sesotris that states that the story of Sinhue is legendary/psuedo

Sesostris was called emperor of the world
"you (senwosret I)have subdue what the sun encircles" story of Sinhue

Europe is under the sun thus making him ruler or conqueror of Europe

the Ancient Greeks also support this story

to object to these claims you need primary sources that dismiss these claims

No one would not have to provide an Ancient Egyptian source from the time of Sesotris that states that the story of Sinhue is legendary/psuedo because the story of Sinhue does not prove " that Egypt had many wars with Europeans such as the "goths, Thracians, Spaniards, and Scythians via Sesotris" as you claim

1) it is a story

2) it pertains to Retjenu (Canaan and Syria) not Europe!

3) assuming the translation "emperor of the world" is correct that does not mean Sesotris was literally emperor of the whole world, stop being ridiculous

4) there is no evidence that Egyptians even knew about many parts of the world even including many parts of Africa. Also the Greeks didn't know many places and their world maps weren't accurate

That means you cannot assume
" that Egypt had many wars with Europeans such as the "goths, Thracians, Spaniards, and Scythians via sesotris"

you have not proven that the Egyptians made war with any of those groups or were even in those regions which are all further away than the neighboring Syria/Israel region

1) prove that Retjenu is canaan and syria

im waiting

2) the story of sinhue is based off of real events
and in that story sensuret I ruled the world which europe is a part of

3)the tamahu were mentioned in the story of sinhue

4) the identity of the tamahu cannot not be verified however they were a white skinned people which matches the appearance of Europeans (thus making them Europeans by observation)

(Champollion believed the tamahu were Europeans)

the Ancient Greeks document Sesotris presence in Europe
so
please make a better comparison

You said Egypt had many wars with Europeans such as the "goths, Thracians, Spaniards, and Scythians via Sesotris" and one of the arguments you tried to use was that in the story sensuret I ruled the world. But now you are saying in regard to China and Japan that that statement that Sesotris ruled the world does not prove he ruled China and Japan even though China and Japan are part of the world.
Now you are saying that to prove China and Japan were ruled by
Sesotris they would have to have said so.

So I am asking you if you are retratcting the argument "Europe is under the sun thus making him ruler or conqueror of Europe"
because China and Japan are also under the sun.


Your second argument is that goths, Thracians, Spaniards, and Scythians said that they were ruled by Sesotris
YET HAVE SHOWN NO SOURCES FOR THIS

you even said these groups "had no written history"

"oral tradition" is not reliable. Any person of a given group can claim something is historical and then claim without record that they got if from their father.
Thracians and Scythians are extinct cultures so there is not even an oral culture.
And you don't even have a source even claiming oral tradition.

Again

i never denied that he did not rule china or japan
it can only be verified if china and japan or if someone near china and japan tells a story of Egypt leading an army into their lands

Jordanes (for example) is of Gothic descent and he documents goths warring with sesotris the Egyptian based off of oral history

Herodotus documents the Egyptians leading an army into the Caucasus mountains and establishing the colchians under sesostris

The only source that claims Jordanes was of gothic descent is Jordanes. He wrote in 6th century AD about an event supposedly occurring about 2500 year earlier.
That cannot be considered reliable and it is far before Goths are even recognized historically


What Herodotus said is not enough to verify historical fact and in his writings are history mixed with legend, myth and folklore


Herodotus was of the 5th century BC and Sensuret of 19th c BC, that if far from primary source

you have no primary source dismissing these claims

jordanes is of Gothic descent during the time the goths wrote their own history (jordanes documents oral history which you continue to ignore)

the story of sinuhe was written during the 12th dynasty
(this is the primary source you continue to ignore)

Herodotus supports the claims of jordanes, sinuhe, and manetho which you continue to ignore

Diodorus siculus and Strabo also makes a similar claim

you have no reasonable explanation to dismiss the claims as fable

you dismiss these ancient writers claims but regurgitate 19th, 20th, and 21st century historians claims that Egyptians did not go to Europe which is a contradiction on your part

bottom line you choose what to believe rather than using real investigation

Thracian, Scythians, and Egyptian all three of these names are Greek... so please don't take them literally

This story is very close to proving what the ancient Europeans claimed many years later for how did they know senwosret was a great conqueror?

Unless you can prove retjenu or the tamahu are not Europeans and senwosret ruling the world is falsity. You cannot say he did not advance as far as Europe.

The burden of proof is on you.

If somebody says the Egyptians landed a spaceship on the moon and I say the Egyptians did not a land spaceship on the moon

and then they say to me "prove the Egyptians didn't land a spaceship on the moon"

So if I fail to do that that means the Egyptians landed a spaceship on the moon? No the burden of proof is with the person who makes the claim.

You said that that Senusret I ruled the world

Now why aren't there some Egyptologists who even raise that as a possibility?
Because there is little if no evidence of it.

because somebody says somebody ruled the world that is not poof they ruled the world that is not proof of them ruling the world. It's proof of them saying it. There are other thing that would corroborate it like artifacts or other writing of the same time period.

Was Sinue lying ? Maybe he was lying. Maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe he didn't have anything close to knowledge of how big the world is.
Maybe Sinue didn't even exist.


You have evidence of a person who is not even proven to exist saying about another person in a version of transliteration (that you assume is accurate)
"you have subdued what the sun encircles"

that is not evidence of someone ruling the world that is a person saying that someone else had subdued what the sun encircles

and you assume that means ruling the world
and you assume the Egyptians knew about the whole world or even all of Africa at that time


You make a ton of assumptions that have a paper thin basis

Now why aren't there some Egyptologists who even raise that as a possibility?
Because there is little if no evidence of it.

because somebody says somebody ruled the world that is not poof they ruled the world that is not proof of them ruling the world. It's proof of them saying it. There are other thing that would corroborate it like artifacts or other writing of the same time period.

Was Sinue lying ? Maybe he was lying. Maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe he didn't have anything close to knowledge of how big the world is.
Maybe Sinue didn't even exist.


You have evidence of a person who is not even proven to exist saying about another person in a version of transliteration (that you assume is accurate)
"you have subdued what the sun encircles"

that is not evidence of someone ruling the world that is a person saying that someone else had subdued what the sun encircles

and you assume that means ruling the world
and you assume the Egyptians knew about the whole world or even all of Africa at that time


You make a ton of assumptions that have a paper thin basis

yes show us the documentation on how the Egyptians ruled japan, Russia and North America

1) The person who would make the claim that the Egyptians went to the moon will have to show some ancient documentation that states that the Egyptians went to outer space

2) sinuhe was a contemporary of senwosret and he said that his king ruled the world or what the sun encircles

3) However rather Sinuhe existed or not is irrelevant because we both know Senwosret I existed

4) what your insinuating is equivalent to saying New York city doesn't exist because spider man doesn't exist

5) All things aside, can you show me one archaeologist or egyptologist who specifically went looking for evidence of sesostris in Europe?(absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence)

6) "and you assume the Egyptians knew about the whole world or even all of Africa at that time"

tell me how did the Egyptians know about the pygmies if they did not know about Africa?

your question is irrational. If the Egyptians knew about pygmies why would that mean they explored or knew about all the other parts of Africa?

Pygmies exist outside of Egypt and live in other parts of Africa

The extent of how much Egypt knew about the rest of Africa is vague because of the destruction of much of Egypt's records however the ancient Egyptians knew about gorillas and rhinos

Herodotus documents how the pharaoh sent an expedition of explorers on ships manned by Phoenicians that circumnavigated Africa

Egyptians sent expeditions into the land of punt and the land of yam, two far distant regions in Sub-Saharan Africa

So imagine how much more vague it would be for other continents under the sun

You need a methodology, a requirement of several types of evidence before presenting something as fact rather than theory

it is only vague to us not to the ancient Egyptians(we don't know how much of each continent Egypt knows because most of the records were destroyed)

it is a fact that senwosret I claimed to have ruled all that the sun encircled and it is a fact that the ancients also say sesostris warred with Europe and Asia

And by the way it's not certain exactly which king Sesostris is

And there are steles of Senusret that record his military campaigns against Nubia and Canaan

"So from the primary Egyptian sources we don't know if the Egyptians knew about the region now known as Sweden where the Goths came from"

how do you know that the goths were in sweden during the time of sesostris? tribes travel
(that is just as silly as saying Rome had to be in Phoenicia to war with Carthage)

"It not a fact that Senusret said that, rather than a person real or fictional named Sinue and it is not clear exactly what it means or to what extent the Egyptians knew"

it is pretty clear when it say "subdue all that the sun encircles"
"He advanced me to lord of the two parts, a child yet wearing swaddling clothes. he destined me to rule the people, made me to be before mankind. he fashioned me to be a palace dweller, an offspring not yet issued from the thighs. mine is the land, its length and breadth, i was nursed to be a conqueror. mine is the land, i am its lord, my power reaches heaven's height. i excel by acting for my maker, pleasing the god for with what he gave. i am his son and protector, he gave me to conquer what he conquered" Temple of Atum at Heliopolis senwosret I

"And by the way it's not certain exactly which king Sesostris is"
it is very certain by manetho
both Sesostris and Senwosret are 12th dynasty pharaohs

"And there are steles of Senusret that record his military campaigns against Nubia and Canaan"

Sesotris is recorded to have warred with Ethiopia so of course there is a stele of him warring with "Nubia"

but how do we know that it is canaan and not Asia or Europe? How do we know that these two steles are the only ones he erected?
