the royal bath of meroe northern sudan.

Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by ababda: 9:52pm On Dec 06, 2009 |
unlike it northern neighbor that was conquered by the greco-roman world, the meroites were actually independent and traded with the greco-roman world extensively. they even had ambassors in rome. also, as mentioned before there were cultural exchanges that took place from both peoples. as you had nubians or meroites that lived in rome. you had romans and many other foreigners living in nubians cities in northern sudan as well. there is archeological evidence from cities such as meroe and now the new found ancient city of dangeil comfirm this. here is a statue of dionysos which was buried in the pyramids in meroe in the northern cemetery in northern sudan.

@madlady Respect! @ababda Thanks for posting the different tribes (is it ok to say tribes?) of Nairaland. Will definitely come back with my analysis on this |
Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by ababda: 7:53am On Dec 09, 2009 |
epi, i guess it depends on the individual in reference if one consider themselves a tribe or ethnic group or otherwise. since, i am not nigerian, i would not know. however, in northern sudan and upper egypt that is a different matter altogether, since i am of the nile valley region. |
Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by ababda: 8:19am On Dec 09, 2009 |
epi, i am just curious. what nationality are you, i may ask? |
Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by Epi: 2:23am On Dec 12, 2009 |
ababda: Faces of Nigeria Do you know the origin of the fulanis because they seem to be all over West Africa ababda:Ok, i will hold off on my questions ababda:out of many one people. British |
Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by ababda: 11:54am On Dec 12, 2009 |
epi, that is a very good question? however, there is not any agreement amongs scholars of the probable origins of the fulani people. some scholars have speculated that the fulani was once part of the berber group from mauritannia and later migranted into senegal and mix with the local population. others, believe that they originally come from egypt, northern sudan or ethiopia, but adopted the niger-congo languages of the local population similar to the central african tutsi, which is believed to be originally from ethiopia or possibly egypt or northern sudan.(due to their physical likeness to ethiopians and somalis and some fulanis share this as well) others believe that the fulani is a offshoot of the tuareg tribe, there is no definitive answer to the origins of the fulanis, however for better or worst they have been an integral part of the great civilization of the western sudan or sahelian region of west africa. i mean the civilizations of ancient ghana(which is no relation to the modern nation state today)almoravids(which once ruled spain),mali, songhai, which is considered one of the greatests african civilization besides ancient cush, egypt and axum(today ethiopia and eritea) or nile valley civilization. |

Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by Epi: 5:39am On Dec 19, 2009 |
ababda:- Since the ka statue represents the spirit/after death ( think) , is it safe to say the ba represents the living in those days ababda:Knowledge and wisdom! Thanks

Re: Show Pictures Of Africas Art And Archaeological Treasures by ababda: 12:52am On Dec 20, 2009 |
i am not sure about this one, i found this on a web site of tim kendall american archeological that specialize in ancient kush mainly in the sudan. i assume that these statues are either in the nuri pyramids mortuary or maybe the new found ruined city of dangeil northern sudan.
