[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] ''Ausar, We can agree that the Nubians were heavily negroid though with a heavy iflux of other genes. I believe close examination will show that Nubians live further up the river now than they did in ancient times, that would only make sense. If we were to look for a great negroid civilization we would find it in Nubia. That said, there are many great and impressive African civilizations, AE is not one of those.'' Nubia was considered the first nome of Upper Egypt. A-group Nubia and Upper Egyptian cultures like Nabta Playa were unsepertable with Upper Egypt in Pre-dyanstic times. The original Upper Egyptian inhabitants of Lower and Upper Egypt were just as negriod as Nubians. Majority of people from Asyut to Aswan in modern times are no different either. Badarian,Naquda,Nabta Playa,and Khartoum Mesolithic as well as the negriod Saharan cultures gave rise to Egyptian civlization. I never said that all Egyptians were black nor do I contend they were,but Upper Egyptians were. This is where the civlization started. I also aknwoleadge the roots of Western Asian cultures around the Delta regions of Egypt,but theses cultures were not the catalyst for the formation of dyanstic Egyptian soceity. I will parapharse Bob Brier again in his book Egyptians mummies:''Some Egyptians were black and some were not'' It is really that simply. The ethnic makeup of the Egyptians was not simply mono-racial as you make it appear. Are you aware that the 12th dyansty and 18th dyansty were all of Nubian origin. The royal mummies of Sequenere Tao and Ahmose have strong Nubian affinities. See the following: From Petrie onwards,it was rewguarly suggested,despite the evidence of Pre dyanstic cultures,Egyptian civlization of the 1st dyansty appeared suddently and must therfore have been instroduced by an invading foreign ''race''. Since the 1970's however excavations at bautu and nekhen have clearly ,demonstrated the indigenous Upper Egyptian roots of early civlization in egypt. While there is certainly evidence of foreign contact in the fourth millennium B.C.,this was not in the form of millitary invasion page 65 Oxford History of Ancient egypt Ian Shaw [This message has been edited by ausar (edited 26 January 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
