Question: Who are the Asiatics to the AEians and also the Libyans?

What is the AE word and the literal translation from theAEian language. No Dogma.

I know the Greek held that areas to the South and West of Egypt was Libya. Didthe Greeks get the name from the AEians?

Extract from the Prophecy of Neferti :

Then a king will come from the South ,

Ameny, the justified, by name [Ameny, nickname for Amenemhat I]
Son of a woman of Ta-Seti , child of Upper Egypt.

He will take the white crown,
He will wear the red crown;
He will join the Two Mighty Ones..
Rejoice, O people of his time,
The son of man will make his name for all eternity! ..

ASIATICS will fall to his sword,
LIBYANS will fall to his flame,
Rebels to his wrath, traitors to his might,
As the serpent on his brow subdues the rebels for him.

One will build the Walls-of-the-Ruler
To bar ASIATICS from entering Egypt

The Libu it seems were rarely (if ever) mentioned until the Ramesside period (19th-20th dynasty)

Thanks. I saw it. ESR is where I copied it from. My question is who were the Asiatics and the Libyans ...in other words, is there a literal translation for Asiatics. More specifically are they the same people today as in ancient times. I not really into pic spamming but to support a point. More the text translation.

I assume by your post Libu=Libyans and Asiatic=?

Modern day Asiatic region or an unspecified geographic location East of AE. ie Levant

So If I am reading this correctly The Levant/Asiatics and Libu/Libyans only became a problem to AEians during the 18th dynasty. thereabout? They were never a problem prior to that...as written in the text?

I am trying put together a timeline. 18th Dynasty=1000BC~?

If Libu = Libyans then the Greeks got it from the AEians?


AIM/SNP Levant is at about 15% in modern Egyptians. It is found at higher frequency at "tips" of Africa ie Algeria and Morroco. J2 matching the same distribution.

Thanks. Which Africa populations have blonde, blue eyes, white skin? I am confused.

But thanks for the definition...

Maybe they were Berbers or other more recent immigrants from Europe met by Ancient Greeks.

Notice how those Aamu workers were behind the creation of the first alphabetic system based on Ancient Egyptian writing with some important innovations/modifications adapted to their language and use.
