Naqada III

In the middle phase of the Predynastic Period, Especially after the Naqada I culture, there was a serious and important development in the ancient history of Egypt.

There have been strong signs of invasion or migration of Asian nations that have come to Egypt and created a qualitative leap that has caused Egypt to accelerate in a civilized manner and begin to shape its authentic qualitative civilization.

Egyptology attribute that this migration or invasion of the Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq), and its cultural characteristics indicate that it is a Sumerian character, and newcomers to Egypt took one of the first two routes through Palestine, then to the delta and the second across the Red Sea through the valley of Wadi Hammamat.

French Egyptologist Jean Vercoutter provides a body of evidence in favor of such a migration or invasion.

At the beginning of the Jerza era, Egyptian Tombs appeared in Egypt containing long-headed skulls (Dolichocephalic) and round-headed  skulls – (Brachycephalic, and the second type must be the remains of the genus of a new invading dynasty.

The ivory handle engraved with a pre-dynastic tray knife (the handle of the El-Arak knife shows objects (boats), scenes (in front of animals) and people (in the form of a bearded person wearing a turban) are Mesopotamian.

The sun-dried brick buildings of the late pre-dynastic era must have been inspired by the contemporary Sumerian monument, using the same structural and floral styles.

Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform

 The emergence of simulated writing in Egypt, which occurred shortly after its appearance in the Mesopotamian Valley, can only be interpreted as a tradition of fake Sumerian writing that existed at the time, as both (biblical) systems adopt the same foundations and include elements of the same kind as Waddell proved.

Dutch archaeologist and Egyptologist Henri Frankfort provides further evidence of the emergence of ancient Iraqi influences in pre-dynastic times, such as the appearance of cylindrical seals in island cemeteries bearing ravine figures and inscriptions, as well as inscriptions on the gold “Ancient Egyptian Metallurgy” handle of the knife found on Jabal al-Ṭārif, Qena, one of the Egypt Archaeological Sites., to know more about Industry in ancient Egypt.

The black hardness of the hunt is engraved with images of fishermen in two rows, wearing a turban  hanging from each of them a bull’s tail, with two feathers on their heads as in Sculpture in Ancient Egypt, and in their hands brigades, bayonets, bows and arrows, bearing two signs prepared by scholars as a sign of the beginning of the transmission of writing from the Mesopotamian valley,  which can mean the temple of Aker, that is, the temple of the God of the Earth.

The water boats engraved on the handle of the knife of the Iraqi generation provide us with crucial evidence of Iraqi influences, superimposed boats that closely resemble the Sumerian boats known for their high-end or crescent shape.

Henri Frankfort believes that it is wrong to consider the birth of Egyptian civilization as the result of contact only with the Mesopotamian Valley because the signs of development and change that accumulated towards the end of the pre-dynastic era are too numerous.

It seems that the result of this development and change was definitely Egyptian in its general nature and characteristics, and he believes that if all Mesopotamian influences are neglected, the transition from the beginnings of writing from Iraq to Egypt cannot be overlooked.

What was the first language used on Earth?

Sumerian cuneiform writing | Naqada III

Waddell drew up a list of Sumerian pictorial origin of hieroglyphic writingAncient Egyptian Language” that was transported by Sumerian immigrants from Iraq.

It is known archaeologically that the Sumerian cuneiform writing “Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform” in its pictorial form is the first known writing of man and appeared in the 3200s.

Which civilization came first Nubia or Naqada III Egypt?

Around 4000 BC, there was a march of a mysterious culture called Ta-Seti “‘Ta Khentit” culture (its name is mentioned as the God SetEgyptian deities“, which refers to the desert) and comes from northern Sudan, It was discovered in the Nubian Qastal cemetery of the Naqada III civilization in Abydos, and it was discovered in the Umm El Qa’ab Tombs in Sohag in southern Egypt during the pre-dynastic period, and deeply affected the areas of the falls (cataracts 1 and 2), and the discovered Egyptian Monuments effects of this culture in southern Egypt showed as Temple of Isis Near Old Cataract in Aswan.

Ta Temhu from northern Libya | Naqada III

The inhabitants of Temhu are white and blond people, and many have pointed out that they came from southern Europe to the Libyan coast and settled there, and there are indications that they migrated to the Egyptian delta, which was called the Pharaoh (text missing) and mingled with the indigenous population and interacted with them culturally,  indicated by the pottery groups of the Hui Valley, in particular the first group C (5000-2900) B.C., which also appeared in Nubia.

Thus, we find that there is a link between the erasure, the inhabitants of blonde Africa, and these dishes, and now that we know that the Egyptian pottery had a foreign decoration, and then we reach the potential habitat of the erasure, which would be, either from Europe or from the Mediterranean region.

This is because Egyptian pottery is more than it is a special decoration, it also has  the coloring of the paint layer, and on the other hand preferred Mediterranean pottery, as well as Western and Northern Europe in prehistoric times due to the rough decoration.

Indeed, there is an amazing connection in form and decoration between this type of decoration and African decoration that cannot simply be a coincidence or consensus of ideas as in Architecture in ancient Egypt.

There are certainly great ancient ties that are very important and necessary because they make us look at the role of the game of these people in special situations not only in Egyptian culture, but also in the construction of their buildings.

Tehenu culture, (Teheny, Tjehenu) of the Libyan desert | Naqada III

The people of Tehenu are brown-skinned people living in the Libyan desert in western Egypt and also developed their long-standing prehistoric culture of unique desert paintings in Tasily, Tebesty, Fezzan and others, and no doubt rushed into the Nile River Valley for reasons related to the drought that occurred from time to time over there.

“Tjehenu, Teheny” has been in Egyptian inscriptions since the dawn of Egyptian history, and the earliest reference to them is that the reign of King Scorpion.

The oldest painful reference to them is the era of King Scorpion II of the Dynasty 0, as the name of their country was written on a monument depicting weapons brought from there, then from the era of King Narmer of the First Dynasty of Egypt, and from the beginning of the rule of the Third Dynasty of Egypt in the period of the Old Kingdom in Pharaonic Egypt and King Djoser. The most famous Egyptian Pharaohs kings until the rule of King Ahmose I with his wife, Queen Ahmose Nefertar, the most famous Pharaonic queen of Egypt “Female Pharaohs” from the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt in The New Kingdom period.

In ancient Egypt, the residents of Tehnu were in denial about their followers (Hatbua) – a term used to refer to Egyptian princes, and thus (Nahnu) The name of a geographic region according to the Geography of ancient Egypt, and not the name of a people.

The land of Tehenu also mentioned as well as Egyptian Antiquities from the reign of King Mentuhotep I of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt in the Middle Kingdom period in ancient Egypt,, as well as Nubian and Asian nationalists, as mentioned in the Story of Sinuhe as in Ancient Egyptian Literature, as the people who inhabit the land of Tehenu.

According to Dr. Ahmed Fakhri, the word (Tehenu) has been used since the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt, the beginning of the rule of King Amenemhat I of the population, as well, when the word mehenu lost its original meaning.
