[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Correct. Proto-pharonic culture was found in Ta-Seti (Lower Nubia) first. So really Egyptian kingship belonged to that area first. [QUOTE]Originally posted by claus3600: [qb] @Djehuti So is Wilkinson misleading when he suggests that the idea of Kushite guardianship over Egyptian kingship is astonishing? [/qb][/QUOTE]He is misleading, though I don't think intentionally so. By the time of the 25th dynasty, the Kushites saw themselves as the legitimate rulers of Kemet (Egypt) as oppose to foreigners like the Libyans. Some may attribute this to Egyptianization policies brought on them by the 18th dynasty, though some would suggest that their claim to rule the entire Nile come from much more ancient notions. For example, there is evidence showing the 12th dynasty may Nubian ancestry and there were polities in Nubia that wanted to conquer Egypt from that time. The devastating raid during the 17th dynasty was viewed as an act of dominating power to show who's boss, so obviously Kush or 'Nubia' was not the weak inferior Eurocentrics have made it out to be.
