[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] But yes, it can get confusing quickly. Assyrians also used the term Cush for some of the same populations that appear in the bible under that name. But based on eyeballing their reliefs and colored depictions, Assyrians seem to have more common ancestry with northern Steppe populations, than with Semitic speakers. So this would then seem to imply an older tradition that was inherited by later groups like Hebrews and Assyrians, much like how the Sumerian story of Utnapishtim made its way into a number of later cultures (e.g. in the bible as Noah). But then you get to Egyptology, where they claim that Cush was first attested in the Egyptian language and Middle Easterners got it from Egypt. But in Egypt the word was just a kingdom/empire and nation, with no major anthro and kinship connotations. So is the impression we get of Cush and derived terms being entrenched in ME geography and proto-anthropology just a false appearance and did some ME build a whole narrative of kinship around the name and prominence of the Kushite nation/25th dynasty?
