[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [b]I would prefer to use precise terms as I did in my first post to this thread but someone became confused and as youve noticed mostly all the contributors are using Nubian without qualification of place or time as if theres some amorphous mass in reality called Nubian before the Roman era...[/b] ...I dont start out by claiming as fact that Egypts southern border was always above the 6th cataract and then only approve the documents and evidence that would suggest such a thing. I take a fresh look at documents and evidence and draw conclusions from them. As such, it appears the southern border of the state of Egypt was at Nag el Hasaya in the pre dynastic Kor Bahan in the early dynastic. The nome system never went further south than Kor Bahan and as far as I know Egypts borders were defined by her nomes. Before the early dynastic the land between Nag el Hasaya and Kor Bahan belonged to the TaSeti polity. This is why Egypt when taking over this territory retained the name TaSeti for it as the 1st nome of Egypt. Brcause of a desire to assure free flow of favorable trade Egypt built outposts in Wawat. That not being enough Egypt annexed more and more land to the south. The southern annex encompasses more and more of TaNehesy over the centuries with the border solidly at Buhen in the 12th dynasty 4th catarct in the 18th dynasty. When the pharaohs of Kesh finally rule Egypt that state including its northen and souther annexes will stretch from Meggido in Canaan to beyond Meroe .[/QUOTE] I am glad you made that point, because we've discussed this issue before, but for some reason people continue to speak ambiguously about this region defined as "Nubia". Indeed, one of the main points touched on in a previous thread relating to the "confusion" on Nubia. Oh well, points have to be reiterated time and again, before they can make an impact!
