[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Don't let your overconcern with racial polemic invictives deprive you of good learning tools Hotep2u. In our context the "Troglodytes" were people who mostly mined in the Eastern Desert. They (the YNTYW) enter Nile Valley records under seige. On the "Palermo" Stone one early ruler whose name is lost has one year of his reign noted as the "Year of Smiting the Troglodytes." Khufu has it recorded on a Sinai inscription that he's "Khnum-Khufu, Great God, Smiter of the Troglodytes." The YNTYW habitation was called the highlands. Henu, minister of Mentuhotpe IV, employed them as bodyguards during his Hammamat expedition "the hunters and the children of the highlands were posted as the protection of my limbs." Mentuhotpe IV himself tells us the YNTYW adored Min, "... Min of Koptos, lord of the highlands, head of the Troglodytes, ..." Senwosret III named a fort that he had built in Wawat at a site south of Semnah "Repulse-of-the-Troglodyte's." There was even a "Repulse-of -the-Troglodyte's" feast on the 21st of Pharmuthi that was celebrated up to the time of Thutmose III. That these particular YNTYW were Nehhesyw is further made clear by Sebekkhu Zaa who says he had to proceed "southward to overthrow the Troglodytes of Nubia." The [b]jwntiw-sty[/b] in that ANE post were either Troglodytes from TaSeti or else they were Troglodyte trained as archers. Maybe even both. Rest assured they were quite African. So stick to the topic and cut the Jew baitin' playa hatin' right now before it starts. We're really going to continue this topic and do so by researching the MEDJAY in the method suggested by the earlier post * their first historical mention * archaeological notices about them * locations they occupied * their economy * their military exploits * their relations with the various Nile Valley dwellers * names of some of their personages of notoriety * marriage relations with pharaohs and nobility * their migration patterns * etc. not by a rant against what in your mind is a "racist, deceitful" Oriental Institute of Chicago and "those hotdamn Jews" not even the wonderful Jewish Troglodytes of the Djebels of Libya who have sense enough to stay out of the hot dry desert sun like anybody with a brain would likewise do. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Hotep2u: [qb] We are now walking on EGG SHELLS here, so do we really want to continue this topic? I have noticed numerous Afrocentric scholars either tip toe around these topics or end up being called anti-semitic because of the position they take so let me ask if Egyptsearch is ready to venture into this area of ancient Kemetic history?
