[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SMirk92: [qb] I want to correct some of my previous statements where I claimed that The Nubians of today were descendants of The Ancient Egyptians. I came across information that stated The Nubians migrated from Libya and were given land stretching from North Sudan to Southern Egypt by Roman Emperor Diocletian. The Nubian Language is classified as a Nilo-Saharan Language like The Toubou language in Libya. This is why The Nubians resemble The Toubou and don't carry the grooming practices of The Ancient Egyptians. We only see The Afar/Beja and other Cushitic groups preserving The grooming practices of The Ancient Egyptians because they are all Kin to The Ancient Egyptians. [/qb][/QUOTE]I should point out that the [b]modern[/b] Nubians you speak of which settled the Nile Valley during Roman times are different from the [b]ancient[/b] Nubians who lived there long before them and likely intermarried. It's not known for certain what languages the ancient Nubians spoke but it is very probable they spoke Afrasian languages related to Egyptian and Cushitic, and there is a growing theory that at least those ancient Nubians living in northern Sudan and southern Egypt prior to the Nilo-Saharan immigration during Roman times spoke a language closely related to the To-Bedawi language of the Beja.
