[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by HERU: [b]This is a [i]little[/i] off topic but what the hell. Recently a book called "The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness: Ancient Egypt" was released last year and in the introduction the author refers to Nubia as "The Land of the Negro". Is this correct? Was Nubia really called "The Land of the Negro"? [/b][/QUOTE] The land names that I know for what they call Nubia are TaZeti, Land of the Bow TaNhsyw, Land of the Nehesyw peoples. I have only seen speculations on the meaning of n.hh.s the root of the word NHHSW. Maybe some one will write in with the factual dictionary meaning. I think calling Nubia the land of the negro is a big anachronistic stretch of the imagination. Negro is a loaded term that really is meaningless. Reliable scholarship written in the English tongue does not use the word negro except to refer to matters related to transAtlantic slave trade.
