[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] "Medjay: the Nehhesyw just east of the Valley" I thought 'Nehesyw' was a name the Egyptians used to describe the settled riverine 'Nubians'. So the nomadic Medjay wer also called Nehesyw? [QUOTE]rasol says:[qb] The Hykso were Asiatics. The Kushites were Africans. The Rm.t [Ancient Egyptians] were Africans. The Medijay were also Africans. The conflict that brought about the New Kingdom was political in essence. It also continued two long running themes of Km.t history - 1) The neverending incursions of Asiatics from the delta. 2) The battle for the Upper Nile valley heartland between Kesh-ite [and various other southerners] and Kemetians. The Rm.t and their Medijay allies were on one side, the Hyksos and their Kushite 'allies' were on the other. The conflict was not predicated on who was more related to 'whom'. [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] :D Ironically and humorously, the 'old scholars' have been claiming the Egyptian (read: "caucasian") vs. Nubian (read: "negro") war for the longest, even though the Asiatic Hyksos (even more "caucasian") were allies of the Kushites who are of course 'Nubian' (negro) and the "caucasian" Egyptians were allies of the Medjay who are also 'Nubians' (negro)!! What a mess the 'old scholars' have gotten themselves into! If only they realized these politics had nothing to do with 'race' but with domination of one polity over another. All groups involved were indigenous (black) Africans, except of course the Hyksos. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
