[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] rasol quote: _____________________________________________________________ On the one hand their enemies are said to include "nubians:" Kushites, on the other their allies are said to include "nubians": Medijay. ___________________________________________________________ Rasol you have brought up an important point, that being that both Kushites and Medijay lived in Nubia. Although this would appear contradictory , given the obvious differences they showed in terms of loyalty to the Egyptians or the Hyksos, it is easy explained by the origin of the two groups: Kushite and Medijay. The Armana Letters make it clear that the Medijay belonged to the Meluhha/Punt confederation. As many people have noted some Egyptian records maintain that Punt was the original homeland for some Egyptians. Many Kushites on the otherhand, belonged to the Tehenu group , which correspond, according to some researchers to the C-Group people. Given the fact that the Kushites included many Tehenu, it was only natural that they may have been more favorable to the Hyksos, than the Egyptians, since some members of this group may have been descendants of Tehenu people. As a result, when you bring up the multi-ethnic aspects of the political scene during this period you are highlighting the fact that the character of African politics at this time were complicated to say the least.
