[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ More on that [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010816]soon[/URL]. [QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [qb] While we're on the topic of A-Group Nubians, [URL=https://www.academia.edu/50133897/The_Location_of_Ta_Sty_and_related_subjects]this paper on Academia.edu[/URL] suggests that the Egyptians referred to their first nome as Ta-Seti because they resettled A-Group people there after defeating their kingdom: [QUOTE]Having considered and analyzed the historical events of the time, I am now more inclined to believe that the 22nd Upper Egyptian nome was created primarily to become the new home for the displaced A-Group people.After defeating the ruler of Ta-Sty and destroying his capital and the royal cemetery at Qustul, whether by king Hor -Aha or Djer or whoever, the A-Group population of Lowe Nubia was widely dispersed; some fled southward following the Nile , others headed eastward and west-ward into the deserts.Thousands were undoubtedly taken prisoners to Egypt. Probably part of the population anticipated the catastrophe and surrendered peacefully . Under such situations, and after considering the best way as to how make most of the defeated A-Group people,the Egyptian authorities decided upon accommodating them inside its borders, naming their new home Ta-Sty. Thereafter, the region was organized to become the southern border.[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]That the citizens of Ta-Sty were resettled in the 1st Nome after their defeat by Ta-Shemau is a common theory that I and many others have always had, but I question if the name 'Ta-Sty' was applied to the nome after this event. If the inhabitants of the 1st Nome were already ethnic Setiu prior to the wars with Qustul Kingdom, then there's no reason why the Egyptians didn't call the nome Ta-Sty before their conquest. The main point of this thread is to address Lostranger's query. A-Group Nubians were morphologically "caucasoid" like other North Africans but this also includes Sub-Saharans in the Horn region as well. So I think the Abkan people like Kadruka were the link in this anthropological chain. [/QB][/QUOTE]
