[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] This is not the first time we have discussed the false dichotomy between "Egypt" and "Nubia". Egypt as a reference to dynastic KMT was a unified nation consisting of various nomes or provinces. "Nubia" is a nonexistent entity made up entirely by white archaeologists to imply a unified collection of populations and cultures south of Egypt that does not and never did exist. In fact as stated over and over again on this forum, the populations most accurately called "Nubians" in the predynastic and early dynastic period are the Egyptians themselves. Those are the populations centered around the ancient town of Nubt, which is called Naqada by Egyptologists and the name used for a phase of the predynastic. This same population had its roots in what the ancient Egyptians called Ta Seti which was an area corresponding to the region between Nubt and South of Aswan as the first nome or first province of Dynastic KMT, kind of equivalent to 'plymouth rock" in the American context. There was no "other" competing nation state in the Nile Valley that was a collection of various provinces and towns on the scale of Dynastic Egypt called "Nubia". Yet Egyptologists keep using this term as if to imply all these people are lumped together as if sharing a common bond of culture, nationality, ethnicity and religion when no such thing existed. Just like in Sudan today, you have many different ethnic groups and many different cultures and beliefs along that stretch of the Nile valley. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=008031;p=1 http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=006480;p=1 http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=007435;p=1 http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=008073;p=1 http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003916;p=1 When most Egyptologists talk about "Nubia" they are really talking about Ta Seti, the region around the Aswan and the immediate south, which was the birthplace of many of the elements that became dynastic Egypt. But Ta Seti, was incorporated into Egypt as the first nome of the country, those people cannot be considered foreigners.. These people had a close association with other ethnic groups to the South of Egypt who were called on regularly for support in periods of chaos. Those were distinct ethnic groups who while not directly part of the Egyptian state were considered as 'bretheren' or kinsfolk who could be called on for support. That is why these Egyptologists spend so much time trying to mantain this fake distinction when no such thing existed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
