[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] [/QUOTE]This is the first I've heard of the bi-trangular shape being found in Nubia. I know that it was present in Tasili as well as other places in the Sahara. Whether this geometric symbol is related to the Minoan double axe remains to be seen, however there [i]are[/i] Old Kingdom tombs featuring decorations in the form of the double-axe. Whether this is due to Minoan influence or vice-versa-- that the Minoans got it from the Egyptians remains to be seen. [/qb][/QUOTE]I thought the Tuareg were a matrilineal society. Is such a paternal genealogy rooted in actual Berber tradition or was it an Islamized tradition?? If you are postulating a connection to Hyksos are you suggesting that the Hyksos kings and chieftains did more than just make contact with Libyans? Are you aware of predynastic connections between Libyans and Canaanites via the Egyptian Delta, that was suggested by some scholars? If so, is that what you are stating? [/qb][/QUOTE] I neglected to mention the double-axe is also known for being associated with the deity Chango or Shango in West Africa. The latter is known from east to west in Africa under variants of the same name as Dongo, Ru'hang, Hangi, Ngi, Ngai,etc. The deity is associated with water and thunder and is the Lord of "high and low places". I attribute the deity "Inachus"(as most other Gods found in the Aegean and Greece to the presence of Afro-Asiatic/Amelekite Hyksos and their movement into the Aegean and Mediterranean (including Crete). Chango or Aman Ngi is intricately intertwined into the African cosmoastronomical mythos, which is one of the reasons I bet on an African origin for the double-axe. And yes the double axe motif is found on early so called "Meroitic" pottery in Nubia at Karanog and other places. In rock art bi-triangular schematisme is also associated with warriors who hold the wrist knife and where feathers in their hair like modern Afar/Danakil and Beli of Chad. The Tuareg also have or had this wrist knives. Thank God for Richmond Palmer who first pointed out some of this evidence in his Bornu Sahara and Sudan. These connections first led me to the theory that the Afar-Danakil were somehow connected with the Iforas and Kel Dinneg Tuareg as well as the name of the early chariot using "Pharusii" of Libya and Ethiopia. It also inferred for me a connection of late Kushitic peoples with the Tuareg or Zenata and other people formerly called Mauri further north. [/QB][/QUOTE]
