[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I think its pretty much agreed that TaMeri was predominently peopled by influxes in pre and early neolithic times from what we now call the Sahara, the eastern Sudan, and the Horn. There were also a minute measure trickling in from the east Mediterranean i.e., the Levant. Leading up to dynastic times, the cultures from the Dal cataract and on northward were very similar and there was no central political authority. The A group are the first to implement a state structure with a political head. The end of Naqada II sees the unification of the Two Lands and a southern border -- the 1st cataract/Biga -- marking TaWy from TaSeti. This southernmost nome is also named TaSeti because before the dynastic era the land from Biga northward to Nag el Hasaya was under A group authority. The lands and peoples south of the 1st nome were not under the Kmt polity. Their polity was Wawat. A cultural demarcation also began to distinguish the two peoples. Kmt embraced writing while TaSeti and Kesh to the south of it did not. This explains the difference between TaSeti.nwt a nome of Kmt and TaSeti,x3st a foreign country not a part of Kmt. The glyph x3st is the determinative for a foreign country. What determinatives appear after the names of east Mediterranean settlements and cities from Canaan to Syria and from there further on eastward to Assyria? Their determinatives will verify the usage of nwt, clarifying if it was only used for Kmtyw controlled inhabitations.fs Kmt may have felt TaSeti was rightfully theirs but the Nhsyw disagreed. Kmt pushed its control ever southward over the centuries. TaNehesy was zealous for its own independence. When the pharaohs caught on to the idea of raising TaNehesy royalty up in the Kmt court the resistance to Kmtyw suzereignty eventually faded away. The Nhsyw raised far from home adapted more Kmt culture and introduced it to their subjects. An exchange of neteru between the two also began to take place. However, it is true that they shared a few of the neteru since terminal A group/early dynastic times. So the New Kingdom era adaptations are not a first. A history of the Amun/AmonAmen cult and priesthood would be revealing. The root of this lies at a sacred spot near the 4th cataract holy to Amun which linked kingship in Kmt with certain families in Kesh so that we see throughout the history of Kmt there were rulers who held the throne due to Nehesi wives, mothers, or descent.
