[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Barachit: [qb] Troll Patrol # Ish Gebor, shalom! The link i posted with the Akan and Ewe, testify that there is a trend to see an egyptian infuence in all african cultures. It's maybe true,but what about Kush? [/qb][/QUOTE]Dubious. The link you posted shows no such "trend" at all. T. Obenga has argued for Ancient Egyptian - West African language links since the 1980s if notbefore. The mysterious "trend" you keep talking about does not exist. What strawman "trend"? ANd who outside a small group of so-called 'Afrocentrists" sees sweeping Egyptian influence in all African cultures? Long-standing scholars of West Africa for example see no such vast influence of Egypt. Where for example does a respected heavyweight African scholar like Adu Boahen talk much about ancient Egyptian influence pervading other African cultures? Answer- he doesn't- which again raises the question as to the location of these mysterious "trends"... Djehuti says: [b]I think part of the problem is that people tend to identify or rather confuse Kush with Nubia. Nubia is a broad region south of Egypt where many cultures existed with Kush being just one of them.[/b] Indeed. Part of the confusion is that Kush emerged from the Nubian region, and is seen by some scholars as a successor kingdom to the Nubian polities to the south of Egypt. Kush almost overran Egypt in the 17th Dynasty (about 1575-1550 BC). It was already a major player in the ancient Nile Valley way back when not only during the Christian era. Of course, Kush went on to do quite nicely after the Dynastic era's collapse as well, and conquered Egypt under the 25th Dynasty, circa 800BC. So Kush indeed sprang from that Nubian region.
