[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] I originally stated that the determinative Nwt (nu) applied only to Ancient Egyptian settlements - which is true, and from that we got a brilliant suggestion from Kem-Au: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kem-Au: Wally a good research project would be to see if Egyptians used this "x" determinant in any cities we now call Nubia. This would give us a better understanding of where Egyptians thought their southern border was. [/QUOTE] So, I thought I'd take a look see, and here's what I found (EWB; -Geographical Names): Now, conventional ideas on Ancient Egypt's southern border was that it ended at Aswan. Not according to the Ancient Egyptians: [b]Qenus (Nwt)[/b] 1044b - Southern Nubia [b] Kenus (Nwt/Khast)[/b] - Southern Nubia - the contemporary Kenus are an ethnic Nubian ethnic group (ie, real Nubians) [b] Ta Khent (Nwt) [/b] 1051b - Land of the beginning; the southern Sudan [b] Berua (Nwt)[/b] 980a - Meroe; capital of the kingdom of Meroe [b] Masha (Nwt)[/b] a town in Sudan [b] Merowe (Nwt/Khast) [/b] 997a - Meroe [b] Meroe (Nwt) [/b] 1001a [b] [i] Some[/i] Sudanese towns with the Nu determinative; there are quite a few others as well[/b] Tar...Shema 1053b Ta het Khenti - 1027 - The Leader/Chief/Founder [b] Other significants[/b] Khent hen Nefer (Khast) 1028a - "Head of the perfect order" - southern Sudan from whence came the Khentiu (Khentou) Hon Nefer - "Founders of the Perfect Order" ie, Kemetian civilization... Ta Set (Nwt) 1051b - district in Upper Egypt Ta Sti (Khast) 1051b - "Land of the Bow" ie, Nubia What do you think?... [/QB][/QUOTE]
