[QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] the only reason I put that up is to demonstrate that the word Libyan is used by Egyptologists and any book on typezeiss' shelf [b] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Some of the people who holds the theory that these early Delta inhabitants were Libyans is ME. I base this on archaeological as well as historic evidence which I will soon present on a thread Takruri created a while back. [/QUOTE][/b] ^^ this remark is referring to the much unifictaion period around 3150 BC, "Libyans" here referring to inhabitants of the Western Desert Etymology of the words Libya, Egypt and Africa is a diversion and separate topics. [/qb][/QUOTE]Your daft, so let me reiterate. You were using the term Libyan as if it describes ONE group of people. That doesn't work because the term Libyan is 1. GREEK in origin and it denotes ALL of Africa, not just one region and it does not denote a ethnic group. The quote you gave mentions Libya (Africans), so its talking about a group(s) of people on the continent of Africa, then it gets very specific and names the groups in question. Can your thick skull decipher what I am saying? I don't think I am speaking in riddles, maybe I am? I don't know. [/qb][/QUOTE]the quote is Djehuti's not mine when he said Libyans he meant people living in the oases' of the Western Desert of Egypt beacause I have read his other remarks pertaining to this issue. He is not talking about Greek definitions. he is talking about the territory to the West of Egypt and people depicted on the narmer palette The etymology of the word "Libya" or "Africa" or "Greek" is a separate topic for a different thread. [/qb][/QUOTE]What your saying is illogical. People can not go around making up meanings of words. You do that, and no one will have any clue what you are talking about. Words have clearly defined meanings, that is what enables us to communicate with each other. Other wise we are speaking different languages. Now, the term Libyan during the time of the ancient Egyptians, during the 5th century BCE would have fallen under the Greek term, which would have been all of Africa. Again, we must use words properly. If we are talking about the people on the Narmer palette, then to use the word "Libyans" would be inappropriate, as that term would not have existed at that time. It is like using the term Nubian. That term is a relatively recent term with no truly historical accuracy. I would even argue the term Nubian is used to obfuscate the facts of what was going on in the Nile Valley. The same way this term Libyan is used to also obfuscate facts. My argument is, let us use words appropriately so that we are all speaking of the same thing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
