[QUOTE]Originally posted by kenndo: [QB] 2. Upper Nubia's First Kingdom? The Pre-Kerma Culture In 1986 the expedition of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, under the direction of Dr. Charles Bonnet, was excavating at the ancient city site of Kerma, which dates to about 2500-1500 BC. Beneath the cemetery of this city, about 1.5 mi (2.7 km) east of the Nile, they found ruins of a second, older town, dating from about 3500-2700 BC. This town is now called the "Pre-Kerma settlement" and its culture the "Pre-Kerma." Mixed with these remains were traces of an even older town, which have yielded carbon dates stretching back to about 4800 BC. recent research note-pre-kerma A city(in upper nubia or yam) really goes back to 5000 b.c. Civilization in (upper nubia)is much older than ta-seti( or lower nubia proper)of course the egyptians called the regions south of lower nubia ta-seti too but it had other names as well and the a-group is just a name of what modern archaelogists called the material culture of lower nubia of that time,and civilization goes back to 8000 b.c. in southern nubia to the period called khartoum mesolithic.
