It was the "Sea people" who just kind of showed       up, all at once, appearing as one homogenous group...              For one thing it's long been said that the Hyskos weren't 'a' people       but the foreigners attracted to the delta region for it's fertile       lands & lucrative trade. I don't think there was ever a time when       foreigners weren't migrating in. The Tanis Kings, for example, were       themselves such foreigners!              They're all Egyptianized, so to speak, absorbing Egyptian culture.              The point is, they were supposedly trickling in forever, and finally       reached the point where they were militarily capable of seizing       political power.              The proto sinaitic script -- origins of Phoenician, Hebrew and       even ultimately our own alphabet -- supposed was invented here.       They had Egyptian writing, hieroglyphic & hieratic, which they       saw the usefulness in, and be unhampered by Egyptian tradition       (and mysticism) they turned it into something more practical.              Yes, it's called "sinaitic" because it was first found in the sinai       but, since then evidence points to an origins in the delta region.                                                 -- --              https://jtem.tumblr.com/post/624038711437492224              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
