[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] With Son of Ra's permission to carry on with this off topic: DJ - what AE legends claim a west origin? I only know of the Shemsu Hor legend/myth which posits a south origin. Mind you this has nothing to do with what archaeology and genetics can tell us about "Saharans" "migrating" east to the Nile in Sudan and then moving north into Egypt nor the folk who always resided in the Lower Nile nor the Saharans who moved into delta. Perhaps all these folk except the earliest holocene Egyptians and the Deltas all come out of the Khartoum culture. So just focus on the mythological and legendary. Co/t King - Well it seems obvious, at least to me that a mountain range is not a lake. In this case the range is situated within the Great Lakes region. [IMG]http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1263/400pxruwenzori0ho.jpg[/IMG] I trust this map precisely locates the Ruwenzoris, the Mountains of the Moon, for you. It is definitely in Great Lakes territory. What I meant is it's precisely ensconced by colonizer named lakes Edward, George, and Albert while Malawi, TaNzania, Victoria, and Turkana (not to mention other little known lakes) aren't in the immediate vicinity. [/qb][/QUOTE]It's true that the story of the Shemsu Hur is the most well known ancestry legend of the Egyptians no doubt because the legend was promulgated in the Thebald by the dominant royal cult of Heru (Horus), but I have read of other origin legends specifically the legend of shemsu Ash which interestingly enough was local to Delta Egyptians as well as oasis dwellers, though his cult was said to have reached as far south as Nubt. This plus the fact that the Egyptians built their tombs and shrines to their dead ancestors on the [i]western[/i] side of the Nile all indicate western origins for [some] of the Egyptians as well.
