[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Though the Egyptians did use the four cardinal directions personified by 4 goddesses (Ayabet-East, Amentet-West, Mehutet-North, Resyet-South) they all don't seem to align etymologically to the peoples. Tamahu for example does not match with Amentet and neither does Aamu match with Ayabet even though there are various tribes along the Eastern Desert that are not Aamu. Nehesi does not match with Resyet. Again, the glyph nehes being a bird while the glyph res being a head since the head is positioned north especially in burials which makes the orientation the opposite of European worldview. The speculation is that because nehes is a type of bird it may have a connection to the word for a people or ethne rhyt.

Look, I don't want to get into this issue of Nubia/Nehesi as there are already too many threads on it! This thread is about A-Group Culture being involved in the formation of Dynastic civilization.
