[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] BTW, I forgot to post this, whenever we often come back to this issue of the ethnic identity of those western populations called Tehenu and Tejenu on this forum. But there are a great many tombs in the Western Oases of Egypt that CLEARLY show the populations of these areas being NOT much different than those of Egypt and Sudan. These tomb images, as I said earlier, are not as prominent or well known as those from Egypt, but there are a great many of them to say the least. From these images it becomes plainly clear that Africans were indeed always in these areas and puts to doubt any idea of FOREIGNERS being the sole ethnic group to the west of Egypt in ancient times. I have some photos that I found on a French site that I will try and find and post if I can.... Found the site and here is an example of an image from Dakhla oasis: [IMG]http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/dakhla_balat_ain_asil/Pb112404.jpg[/IMG] http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/dakhla_balat_ain_asil/dakhla_balat_ain_asil_qila_el_dabba.html (Across the top of the page you will see the links to other oasis sites.) Old kingom example from Kharga (Khentka, governor of Kharga under Pepi): [IMG]http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/musee_khargha/Pb122491.jpg[/IMG] There were more that I remember, but this site has plenty of photos from all over, including those not seen on other sites. Compare the above with those from an Egyptian administrator named Pennout from the South of Egypt under Ramses VI: [IMG]http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/pennout/P1010265.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/pennout/P1010266.jpg[/IMG] From: http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/pennout/lac_nasser_tombe_pennout.html The point here being that the historical ethnic make up of the populations to the West of Egypt in ancient times was related to the populations along the Nile itself. They werent that much different, even after the arrival of the "sea peoples" and other invaders in the New Kingdom. It was only relatively recently (last 2000 years) that foreign types began to predominate in these areas. Heres more from Bahariya (26th dynasty): [IMG]http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/bahariyah_bawiti/Pb092216.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/bahariyah_bawiti/Pb092220.jpg[/IMG] From: http://alain.guilleux.free.fr/bahariyah_bawiti/bahariyah_bawiti_qasr_selim_tombes_bannentiu_djedamuniufankh.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
