[QUOTE]Originally posted by Firewall: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] why bump a thread if you can link it? I do it occasionally but it generally disrupts the flow of the forum. Often nobody replies to it It simply goes to the top and then sinks again It's better to have a new reply to the content of the thread which bumps it up, my opinion [/qb][/QUOTE]I did both. I posted the links too. [QUOTE] At some point during the 4th century, the region was conquered by the Noba people, from which the name Nubia may derive (another possibility is that it comes from Nub, the Egyptian word for gold). From then on, the Romans referred to the area as the Nobatae. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Although the Noba and the Kushites were separate language and culture groups, they had probably co-existed in the region for centuries, and physically they were indistinguishable. When the power of Meroe declined, the two groups surely intermingled, if they had not done so earlier; the Noba may have assumed dominance, but they retained close ties to their Meroitic roots. One way of being certain of this is from the fact that many Nubians, even now, still wear the same facial scars that can be seen on the images of the Kushite rulers on their monuments at Meroe and other sites. These marks are handed down through families from one generation to the next and identify one's tribal affiliation. Obviously they have passed down to the present from remote antiquity, transcending dynastic, tribal, cultural, religious, and linguistic change.

I would like to get in this thread some references on ancient Kush, especially on this topic: Religions, Government, Customs, Cultures etc... [/qb][/QUOTE]Here some threads/info about past chat on this. Topic: The Ancient Nubia Military Thread:What was the military power of Ancient Nubia? http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008743;p=1 Topic: Darfur: The Arabs and their "Authentic" Genealogy http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=004296 Topic: Nubian aDNA: what the hell is stopping ES members from claiming CL Fox 1997? http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008387;p=1#000000 By the way i think i should bump these threads as well,because there is a lot of good info posted about the kushites,noba,modern nubians etc... I posted some info on some books too about kush etc..in some threads,but i will have take time to find those. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
