[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Nubia extends both north and south across the border of Egypt/Sudan. The territory Nubia covers was just a small part of Kush. I quite correctly defined Kush as encompassing the entire modern nation of Sudan and the part of the modern nation of Egypt where sandstone dominates the topography. i.e. Nubia, Egyptian Nubia not Sudanese Nubia. I did not want to define Kush as ancient Sudan without including the part of Nubia claimed by Egypt. I had no need to include Sudanese Nubia in the topic header since the part of Nubia in Sudan is already covered by the word Sudan itself. Also if you've been reading all I wrote you've seen I started by including the entire Lower Nile Valley as a unified cultural complex up until the time monarchies developed when the peoples of TaSeti.x3st and TaWy both themselves demarcated their separation. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003284;p=1#000019 I've also shown that the royalty of Kush had a certain claim to the throne of KM.t stemming from Gebal Barkal's Amun cult well before Piye established the 25th dynasty which is where all the "standard" "mainstream" historians jump to after briefly examining A-group and C-group times. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003289;p=1#000030 Not to mention proving that Senwosret III's boast weren't at all racial epithets since he himself was of Kush ancestry holding the throne from his ancestor Amenemhet's application of that certain claim to the throne and "prophecy" of Neferty. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003284;p=1#000020 I understand where you're coming from and I know you can contribute some proactive information about Kush to this thread. We already have too much protest literature. We must build up a new positive in outlook history of Kush not just negatively tear down the old falsehoods which helps keeping them alive by always bringing them to mind though only to deconstruct them. Thanks [QUOTE]Originally posted by yazid904: [qb] Keeping in mind genotyping as a litmus, we have to consider that without barriers like mountains, rivers, forest, jungle, etc. much of those areas are contiguous, without the boundaries that are delineated today. To use the descriptive "Egyptian Nubia" is to deny Nubia as a whole and act as though they are a separate area/people when in antiquity they were not! Perhaps with the defeat of the native dynasties and the birth of Islam, the separation may have become permanaent, as we have been programmed to believe. Well, some of us. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
