[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Hotep2u is providing us an opportunity to widen our Nile Valley studies by inadvertantly introducing the the Pan Grave era Medjay. The Medjay resided east of the Nile Valley for the most part. Overtime their residency spans the area east of the southern Lower Nile Valley and the Middle Nile Valley between the Eastern Desert and the Nubian Desert. Known as mercenaries since Old Kingdom times, its small wonder that they took up Kemtyw employment when more soldiery was needed to oust the Hyksos. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hotep2u: [qb] Greetings: Here we show some DNA evidence showing a DIFFERENCE between Kerma and Kush notably the Gurna People. This should explain why Kerma sided with the hyksos and Kush sided with Kemet. Here is a very good study done on the area called Nubia. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1046/j.1529-8817.2003.00057.x Hotep [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hotep2u: [qb] Greetings: Supercar wrote: [QUOTE] Granted that there were several settlements in the region in the pre-Kerma periods, are you saying that the populations who resided at Kerma and Kush, were different folks, i.e., no continuity observed? [/QUOTE]This is a good question, I think that at some point within 2500 B.C to 2000 B.C Kerma area was abondoned and later got inhabitted by a foreign group that eventually sided with the Hyksos upon their invasion. Though Kush might have had strong ties with Kemet and showed continuity thus they sided with Kemet in order to remove the Hyksos. The puzzle here is that Kerma sided with the Hyksos which implies that they felt that Kemet did NOT hold their best interest. Though Kush sided with Kemet showing they were very loyal to Kemet, the question then is why did Kush support Kemet and Kerma support the Hyksos? The war that led to the expulsion of the Hyksos proves that a difference between Kerma and Kush existed in my opinion. Hotep [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
