[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] The Tales of Sinuhe details linguistic differences between the Delta and Southern Upper Egypt. Often times in correspondence between North and south in Egypt it was confusing for either party to understand each other. Reminds me of the current situlation in Egypt where Sai'idi people are not often understood because of their unique dialect. Middle Egypt during the First Intermediate Period also seemed to break off and form it's own seperate mini-state within Egypt. The Thebans[Wasetans] of the 11th dyansty fought bitter wars with the people in Middle Egypt. Around the second dyansty we have battles between Khasekhemwy and the northern populations. Pictures of on the base of his statue show captives from the north. Don't forget also that the Narmer palette shows people bound up and pictures of bulls trampling people of the Delta. The Lapwings[rehkyt] of the Narmer palaette are shown hanging from ropes symbolizing the subjigation of the people who lived in the Delta. The physical remains from the Delta are very slim,but we do have some remains from Maadi and the Omari culture from Lower Egypt.I have not seen many published reports on these findings,so I guess this would be an area that S.O Keita would have to study more. With interpretation of the word Kmt you might be putting all your eggs in one basket. My recommendation to prove the Africaness of Egypt is by it's cultural and archaeological remains. Findings at Nabta Playa and Dakhla Oasis are begging to unveil the roots of ancient Kemetian[Egyptian] civlization. You must have more than on discipline besides just linguistics. neo*geo,don't get wrapped up in the Nubian question either. Nubians were painted in various colors and even hairstyles. Look at some pictures of the Medijay are shown in bas reliefs like the modern Beja people in Sudan. The really dark Nubians are shown similar to the tones of the Southern Sudanese in modern Sudan. You can tell by their hairstyles and scarification that many match the modern southern Sudanese. The names for Nubia were as follows:Wawat,Irtjet,Irem,Yam,Ta-Seti,Medijay and Kush. Kush was around the 3rd to 5th cataract. Wawat and Ta-seti was south of modern day Aswan the first catract. Ta-Seti was traditionally called the 'First of the First' in literature like the Famine Stela. Understand that Sinuhe was written at a time when Asiatics had swarmed the Delta region. Earlier texts like the Adominations of Ipuwer[some date to 8th dyansty] and Instructions of Mer--ka-re date to around the 9/10 dyansties. These texts also record an Asiatic pressence. [/QB][/QUOTE]
