[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Child Of The KING: [qb] Let me post that I feel that Nubian is an term used by Euros as an LIE about the original egtyptians. Modern Nubians are in fact Egyptians, and South Sudnaese are actually the Nubians of Ancient Egypt. Why the cover up?? Because Euros wanted to explain away why Egupt had an popualation that was Clearly Black African. So they claimed the people Nubians were actually apart of an different kingdom. The Shift is evident in the meaning and to think that Lower Nubia is in Egypt is just 1 way. To me personally, Nubians are remnants of Egyptians who stayed in the country after being overrun by Outsiders. The Ancestors of the Dinka, nuer Shilluk etc created Kush and I feel that this is evident since Egyptians majority painted Nubians Coal Black[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree that so-called modern Nubians are ethnically distinct from the ancient Kushite civilization, but I wouldn't say they are surviving Kemetics either. They speak a language inherited from Saharan nomads west of the Nile, not anything like the ancient Egyptian language. They probably do resemble AE in phenotype, but such a suite of physical traits would have been common throughout the Eastern Sahara. As for whether ancient Kushites physically resembled today's South Sudanese, honestly I haven't heard of any osteological analyses that even used South Sudanese samples, let alone in comparison with ancient Egyptian or Kushite remains. We do know there was a lot of phenotypical overlap between ancient Egyptians and Kushites (for example, Kushites from Kerma were found to be practically indistinguishable for Naqadan Egyptians in Keita's 1990 study), and a recent analysis on remains from way down in Khartoum showed a similar dental pattern to historical Egypto-Nubians as far back as the pre-Mesolithic time frame. Ergo I'm no longer sold on the widespread notion that ancient Egyptians and Kushites ever looked more than subtly different, certain artistic portrayals notwithstanding. [/QB][/QUOTE]
