[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] For example's sake for the time being let's start with events around 3500 BCE or so. We'll do a fuller temporal spatial outline later. A lot of the confusion would subside once recognition of Kesh as beginning where limestone ends and sandstone begins to be the deciding rock base along the Lower Nile Valley (Gebel el Silsila, Nag el Hasaya) and continuing to at least the junctures of the White Nile and the Blue Nile is accepted as fact. At that point we can begin to break down the regions and peoples in this vast area. Before the Egyptians learned the word Kesh they used their own word NHHSW (southerners) to designate all the variety of folk south of them. We find this word illustrated by a generalized picture painting in the Book of Gates. This shows the RT RMT themselves noticed a political spatial "dichotomy" but not a biological lineal difference between NHHSW and RT RMT. Otherwise there'd only one designation HPYW ("Nilers") in that religious text. We know they saw no "racial" difference because we have one depiction of a scene in the Book of Gates where RT RMT and NHHSW are depicted exactly the same. And we have other art pieces not of a religious nature were Kmtyw have skin tones ranging from red-brown to black and Keshli have skin tones ranging from red-brown to black. Kenset (TaSeti, Wawat) was south Egypt and south of Egypt. The unifiers of the Two Lands (TaWY) were from TaSeti.x3st which at the time extended northward to just south of what would be Edfu. Thus the first nome of Egypt was TaSeti.nwt. But TaSeti.x3st was more extensive than just TaSeti.nwt. It also included Wawat and part if not all of Yam. As there are always rival factions seeking authority over land, such factions disputed TaSeti.nwt and adjacent regions of Wawat being under suzereignity of the relatively newly unified Two Lands. That their kinsmen accomplished the unification played no role in the power struggle. The old sovereignty of TaSeti.x3st and the new polity of TaWy struggled against each other for hegemony over TaSeti.nwt which spilled over into and became a struggle over northern Wawat as well. In time it became a struggle over what was once all the lands that had the Khartoum Late Stone Age cultural complex. The sepatw (nomes) TaSeti and Heru's Throne (commemorating the conquering Shemsu Hor?) were topographically part of Kesh. The Shemsu Hor did not unify the Two Lands in the name of TaSeti.x3st. They did it in their own name to carve out their own kingdom. The rulership of TaSeti.x3st never accepted that cleavage and all throughout the written historic period of Lower Nile Valley history retained their claim on the throne of TaWy and TaWy recognized the primacy of that claim because no one legitimately held that throne unless they were descended from or married to a princess/queen of known and verifiable southern ancestry. The TaWy rulership felt the whole Nile Valley belonged to them just as Kesht sovereigns felt the entire region from what we call Khartoum all the way downriver to the Great Green Sea (the Mediterranean) was rightfully theirs. The situation can be compared to a family inheritance validated by matrilineal succession. Brothers fight over the inheritance of mother. Each manages to get some piece of it. Both have designs to obtain all of it. Both recognize their right to it stems from the mother they have in common. One brother lives in proximity of strangers who themselves covet the inheritance. And when the stranger succeeds in stealing it from the brother living next door to them, then by intrigue or by violence the brother more distant from the intruding stranger comes along to assure the inheritance remains within the family, restoring the ancient family values as well.
