[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [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]"Ancient Nubia" is a meaningless concept because according to many Egyptologists "Nubia" includes everything from Aswan all the way down to the 5th or 6th cataract. That is totally nonsensical. Ta-Seti was around the 1st and 2nd cataract and was absorbed into the Dynastic AE state. Ta Seti is included in "Nubia". But the ancient border of Dynastic Kmt was somewhere around Abu Simbel/Buhen, which includes everything under Lake Nasser and is technically Ta-Seti "Nubia". To the South of that was Kush, which again was not "Nubia". The only reason they are all lumped together as "Nubians" is because Egyptologists treat "Nubian" as meaning "black folks". [/QB][/QUOTE]
