TerryCarr: Indeed i don't think skin color was a factor for them, at the same time the rulership still represented themselves as naturally they were. While the saints was represented by the Byzantium ideal or standards. That pretty much what is written in the Museum under the picture art in Khartoum. |

Radoillo: Radoillo, they are nubians through and through. All the painting is on the second floor of Sudan National Museum. However the majority of the painting is not posted on the internet of eparch, queen mothers, and bishops. For example this.

The excavation is done by Sudanese and Polish team, which still covers the monuments in that period. Again you see all these painting and more at the National Museum in Sudan on the second floor if you visit. This is suppose to be about a wedding, and not about the history of the nile region. |

Superdog531 I may send you a link of our facebook and instragram page. I like your spirit, it is good to have different views, with your views it is going to be a great deal of debate. LOL |

superdog531:. You have to go to the Sudan National Museum on the second floor, and the features of the women is very common and lets not deny that. For example this is our people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxjlCGrs6WM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBveQ84hC6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6f0wxHeWlU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoVSf7MoGw4 Which i have no apology for.

superdog531: Although i grew up in New Zealand, but my family is from Northern Sudan. However to be perfectly honest i never ever heard the expression bantus until i came on the internet because no one in Sudan as i noticed ever use that expression or give a damn about that.. Indeed, we do range in colors, but visiting the Sudan National Museum in Khartoum while visiting my family the Christian art look very identical to the people now, why is that you think? For example this, and you see this and other art works in the second floor of the Museum, i pretty much go there every time i visit my family, to relax my mind, although they need to do something in regards to the air condition system. Christian art before Middle Nile valley became predominant islamic. http://blog.britishmuseum.org/2014/08/08/death-the-great-equaliser-christianity-on-the-middle-nile/ http://www.corbisimages.com/stock-photo/rights-managed/RW006433/portrait-of-saint-jiovanus-xisostomos Sudanese regardless of complexion http://sudanembassy.com.pk/ar/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Afra-mool.jpg http://sudanembassy.com.pk/ar/%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%B1-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AB-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A/ We have to be realistic, which i am and not deny the obvious. However to say that as a result to mixing is to deny ourselves, as i said to members here most Sudanese don't have anything against other African groups including horners, although many Ethiopians and Eritrean work as maids for rich people and other activities which i will not mention. Lastly, many musicians such as Teddy(Ethiopian) is pretty much popular in Sudan, and many people within our own forums will disagree with you on that one, but you can politely debates this within our forums on instragram, sudan net, and facebook. Genetic Diversity of a Certain Ethinic Group is done by DNA & Genetic studies. Sudanese & Etiopian has the highest Gene DIVERSITY = 24. http://sudanforum.net/showthread.php?t=171155&page=8 http://sudanforum.net/showthread.php?t=177873 You can politely debate us there in Arabic and English, my arabic is bad, speak but cannot write which is a shame on my part, but i have my cousin help me in translation on facebook, and many other Sudanese on instragram is helping me with my arabic, which is great. |

KidStranglehold: Oh, you are talking about ancient history. Like i told Terry the history of the region is waaaay to complex. Egypt only conquered Nubia once, Due to the fact you had supposedly Nubians in Egypt especially during the 12th dynasty and part of the 18th dynasty went to war with groups further south, So it is pretty much a complex history which does not fit neatly in the narrative of the Egyptian vs Nubian dynamics. We discuss this on instragram, both some like minded Sudanese and Egyptian alike. It was more or less ruling families or good old fashion nepatism. They elevated themselves to "gods". Similar to many countries, group of people or individuals today unfortunately. for example this https://books.google.com/books?id=jF2jq5JrkS4C&pg=PA253&lpg=PA253&dq=mentuhotep+ii+nubian+origin&source=bl&ots=SK2UnzDC2a&sig=hL3Szu-YIeL3cWYpsBw0Sz8_2mU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nlqvVIXZCMrToATghoGYDQ&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=mentuhotep%20ii%20nubian%20origin&f=false It is a little more complicated. I wish it was not. but Nubians today are not one monolithic people When people think of nubians in Sudan, it is usually the people that live in the Dongola, and Wadi Halfa area as i noticed. I know you were saying Darfurian nubians, but honestly i have never heard a Darfurian say they were nubian, but i can be wrong but i never personally encounter that. You should know this since I'm guessing you're from Sudan. Family from Sudan yes, and don't assume everyone in Sudan knows about the history of the Nile valley especially from different regions within the country. It is like saying the average (not all) igbos or yorubas from Nigeria is knowledgable about Fulani, Hausa, or Kanuri history, in fact most of them are not. Also, some people may go to the National Museum during primary school especially nile valley Sudanese, and like everyone else may develop other interests, and pay little attention or care less for history, and from most people perspective that is a long time ago. instead of living in the past, most people like to live in the here and now. It is usually people that has a interest in history that really care for these kind of things. You have many people especially Northern Sudanese who are archaeologist along with their Egyptian, and western colleagues that study the history of the Nile kingdoms intensively. Like i said earlier you have a growing group on facebook, instragram, and other social media outlets, that are discussing the history of the region more. That is where i get my information from Sudanese on instragram. |

TerryCarr: I think that is more or less isolation Terry, for example any group of people that "let say" isolate themselves or marry within themselves will develop certain characteristics that separate themselves from other people. That is why certain groups nearly all look alike from a outside observer point of view. You see this around the world which is common sense. |

TerryCarr: the darfur were being raped by the mixed Arabs To be honest with you Terry, that is pretty much a tribal affair taking place within, and the fact of the matter 60 percent of the Sudanese army are Dafurians, and that say a great deal. plus Egypt controlled you many times I think both me and you went through this route before, but i guess you may have reading comprehension, i blame it on your American school system. Various pharaohs of Nubian origin are held by some Egyptologists to have played an important part towards the area in different eras of Egyptian history, particularly the 12th Dynasty. These rulers handled matters in typical Egyptian fashion, reflecting the close cultural influences between the two regions. The history is a little complicated than that, which is obvious. You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. you guys hate negroid features don't deny it. Like i said Terry, come to the country an see things for yourself, and you will be surprised what people actually think, and you will be ashamed of what you written, which i think is quite silly. I hope you don't have a inferiority complex terry, i hate to see that. Lastly, lets discontinue this dialogue because it does not serve the purpose for this thread. 2 Likes |

TerryCarr: I had to correct you there Terry, i think that statement is more about yourself and your society, and culture more than any of us here. Terry it is obvious you never been nor traveled to the African continent. Reading about the a place online is not the same as going there and interacting with the various people and cultures, and fighting with people on the internet is not hardly representative of a entire people or culture. My suggestion is travel to many countries as you can and see things for yourselves. I have a feeling what you written (past tense), and once you visit will change your whole perspective about everything, and you will later feel guilty about what you had written here. |

barwaaqo: The thing is Sudan has many different realities, it is more or less a cross road country. Before the country became what is now Sudan, it was something else entirely. For example the Northern or the Nile Valley north has more in common with Egypt, and its goes beyond the culture it is the people to, to a certain degree. North Eastern Sudan is very connected to the horn of Africa, whereas Western Sudan is very much connected ethnically, cultural to the people of Chad and to some degree West Africa. Whereas the "south Kordofan, and the south west is very much similar cultural to South Sudan and other south nilotic peoples. So it is pretty much a mixed of everything. Whereas South Sudan, they have voted for independence, and we should all respect that regardless how one may view it especially since you are a outsider basically looking in. question why are you concern about the unity of the regions, since historically that was never the case?\ It is like saying Sudan and Egypt should unite, since it was one country back in the 1950's? Also what makes the unity of SS different from Egypt? From my perspective i am not advocating neither. |

It is like saying that North Sudan and Egypt will be united again(1950's) since the countries has more ties than South Sudan historically and ethnically speaking. South Sudan will set it own course of history, and destiny. What i see is a possible nile valley union, Egypt, North Sudan, Eritrea, and possibly South Sudan which would be similar to ecowas, or east African Union. |

muafrika: Are you talking about the entire continent or some regions in Africa? Let look at the reality, it is a big gulf btw many countries in the continent. We have to understand it other cultures, before any progress of a pan African dream is possible. How the way i see it, it will be more of a regional blocks, than anything totally continent wide. For example South Sudan will probably belong in two union, one with the eastern African countries, and the other a possible "Nile Valley Union" btw North Sudan and Egypt, and possibly Eritrea in the mix, but we will see the outcome, when the dust of conflict is settled in South Sudan. BTW, nice pictures. |

South Sudan is its own separate country now, when they separated from "Sudan" their Sudanese citizenship had been revoke, now they are required to have passports, and they are now viewed as foreigners. Lastly most "junubis" prefer to be call "South Sudanese" however i wish they change the country names it would had been better, so lets respect their wishes, since is a separate country now. Even within instragram we are indeed separate, so the process pretty much began. Within 5 years it will be complete when the majority of the citizens from both country will not be able to communicate with each other. |
