[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ This is why having the original Mdu Neter is important. Are you sure that the original name used was Ta Seti? Because usually Egyptologists translate 'Nubia' from the name Ta Nhsy. Again, the Egyptians are more precise with their words Ta Nhsy as the general name for the land beyond the 1st cataract, whereas Ta Seti Khast was the name of the proto-dynastic Kingdom of Lower Nhsy. The 1st nome of Ta Seti Nwt was already incorporated into Ta Shemau by then. Edfu was not part of Ta Seti Nwt but was its own nome of Wetjes Hor. So following the tribal theory of sepati (nomes), there were two A-Group tribes in southern Shemau-- Wetjes Hor and Ta Seti (Nwt). Thus the latter could [i]not[/i] be an enemy or 'conspirator' to Re (the national god or nation of Kmmt). [/qb][/QUOTE]I personally have never seen the term Ta Nehesy used in any text, versus Ta Seti. And my point is that Egyptology treats Ta Seti, Nubia, Wawat, Yam and Kush as synonyms. So some translators will just put Nubia in for all of them. But there is no doubt that the Ta Seti in the Edfu Texts is not referring to anything other than the first Nome. And often when you hear Egyptologists talk of Ta Seti they act as if this nome doesn't exist as part of the dynastic kingdom. That is my point. And as I said, most times when I have seen Ta Seti used in ancient text, they are talking to of the nome, not of any kind of foreign territory. And this is why I am against the way "Nubia" is used because it totally disregards that distinction. I have yet to see a text from the ancient times using Ta Seti exclusively as a reference to any foreign territory outside the dynastic kingdom. Not saying it doesn't exist, but that I haven't seen it. And I have been calling out my disagreement with this concept of Nubia since I have been on this forum, mainly because it is an arbitrary construct that has no consistency in usage and often contradicts the reality on the ground. https://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=005221 On the same note, I am of the same opinion on the term Nehesy also, as they are very inconsistent on that as well.... [QUOTE] Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered several tombs and chapels dating back around 3,300 years in an ancient cemetery at the site of Saqqara. The biggest tomb belonged to a man named "Panehsy" who was the "overseer of the temple of Amun," Lara Weiss, a curator of the Egyptian and Nubian collection at the Netherlands' National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden and author of the book "The Walking Dead at Saqqara" (De Gruyter 2022), who is one of the excavation leaders, told Live Science in an email.
