The Lower Nubian Kush was a province of Egypt from the 16th century BC to eleventh century BC. During this period it was ruled by a viceroy who reported directly to the Egyptian Pharaoh. The viceroy was appointed directly by the Egyptian king and usually bore the titles "overseer of the southern lands" and "king's son of Kush". It is believed that the Egyptian 25th dynasty were descendants of these viceroys and so were the dynasties that ruled independent Kush until the fourth century AD.

You see that they were most likely Kushized Southern pastoralist Sudanese. Similar to the Hutu and Tutsi dynamic, as I mentioned before. So obviously whatever these prisoners represent they seem to be more South Sudanese in type. Whom were either under Kushite rule as it was proposed in this thread. Or another group of "Nubians" that most likely weren't Kushties but of course lived in Nile Valley, in the South, and went to war with Kemet only to lose. I wouldn't doubt that they could be Kushite allies or South Sudan mercenary groups. Similar to the Medjay. [/QUOTE]All of these assumptions you are making about Northern and Southern Sudanese types cannot be assumed to apply 3,000 years ago Above at the top of this post is the Kushite tribute to the Egyptian official Huy, a high . The same type as the prisoners is shown as well as what may be other types. I have read some speculation that the figures in the front who are bigger in size (sometimes depicted as such artificially by the Egyptians to indicate higher status) , some speculation that the figures in the front are Northern Sudanese. However I think this is wrong. I think the figures in the front are merely female, look at the long hanging earring and the one in back with the same earring is already considered female (why they are bigger and in front is not known) Also memorize this, in the tombs like Rameses II and Seti I we see a table of nations, four types and note Nhy is used in the hieroglyphs, and as follows and in this order, nationalities followed by the Egyptian words Egyptians Rmt Asiatics Aam Nubians Nhsy Libyans Tmhhw [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4d/05/1c/4d051c4568d71fa4aaf5c8fe8b4af631.jpg[/IMG] [b]Tomb of Merenptah I [/b] [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/6e/39/oHllOz7g_o.png[/IMG] ________________________________ [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/c4/10/5YbVYfq6_o.png[/IMG] ^^where Ta-Nehisi Coates gets his name from, the Nehesy And thought to start in the eleventh dynasty two terms for Egypt Kemet (Kemit above) and Ta-Merry [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/ff/ac/o4tDCCKY_o.png[/IMG] Senkamanisken was a Kushite King who ruled from 640 to 620 BC at Napata.
