@saeedionse @vioIetswan Interesting

@NubiaAmbassador Upper egyptians deserve credit for this
I see afrocentrists on social media make claims about nubia being the origin of the early royal iconography in egypt which is false because the oldest depictions of royal crowns are much older than the incense burner

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@NubiaAmbassador Important to point this out
There's a lot of misinformation out there
The qustul incense burner had artistic motifs (some south-west asian related and others north-east african) found in earlier UPPER EGYPTIAN naqada II and naqada III periods NOT A group in lower nubia

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@NubiaAmbassador ...such as maceheads (round,disc and pear)

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@NubiaAmbassador In other words BEFORE the infamous qustul incense burner there were symbols associated with an upper egyptian cultural system and they include high prowed boats,rosettes,falcon deity,kneeling prisoners,palace facades,serekhs and other elements not included on the incense burner

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@NubiaAmbassador This is not surprising because lower nubians had a smaller population size and had less social complexity compared to their northern neighbours

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@NubiaAmbassador The A group of lower nubia was NOT responsible for the origin of the divine kingship system with the earliest royal iconography
The qustul incense burner was made up of material that came from egypt and was probably imported from there by elite chieftains in lower nubia who...

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@NubiaAmbassador recognized the ongoing religious and political transformations in the region
Lower nubians and upper egyptians engaged in extensive trade though upper egyptians had a much larger influrence with respect to the quantity and diversity of egyptian style pottery in A group tombs

@bramsmdn @black_x_space Different dendogram
Kaitlyn Sanders "Morphological Changes And Expansion In New Kingdom Egypt And The Levant"
She pointed out a CLOSE relatationship between new kingdom egyptian men from thebes and male and female groups from lachish
This was NOT the case in pred/ed upper egypt

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space There were regional differences and regional internal diversity
SOY Keita pointed out a modal craniometric phenotype common in northern egypt and the maghreb region which is intermediate between european and nile valley egyptian types based on 9th dynasty sedment..

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space "The sample from kerma is most closely related to predynastic and early dynastic upper egyptians"
"The sample from lachish groups with new kingdom populations from upper egypt"
Do you see the difference ?
Upper egyptians gained more levantine admixture over time

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space Kaitlyn Sanders "Population Dynamics Of Ancient Egypt And The Neighboring World : A Craniometric Analysis"

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space A different dendogram i found online
Look at badari and naqada
Look at thebes 1 and 2 and abydos new kingdom and lachish and third intermediate/late period giza
Clearly there was a levantine shift over time compared to the predynastic and early dynastic upper egyptian samples

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space El assasif dendogram
Look at 9th dynasty sedment and thebes 1 middle kingdom
Look at thebes III,IV and V new kingdom and lachish pre modern west asian sample

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space Kaitlyn Sanders pointed out that early lower egyptian groups were closely related based on craniometric data i.e early dynastic,old kingdom and middle kingdom samples however 9th dynasty sedment was grouped with 11th dynasty thebes which suggests some overlap of cranial traits

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space This is confirmed in a different dendogram comparing el assasif samples with egyptian and nubian samples
Sedment is grouped with thebes and they are related to old kingdom and middle kingdom southern samples i.e naga ed deir,elephantine,qubbet el hawa and el kubanieh north

[Komrade Reddington @Fckboy1738]

@bramsmdn @black_x_space "Lower egyptian groups pair with upper egyptian groups from later dynasties (mainly new kingdom)"
Kaitlyn Sanders
Different dendograms show how closely related these new kingdom upper egyptians (thebes,abydos) are to lachish west asian samples
