摘要:One of the constants in Egyptian iconography from almost all of the periods is the view that the Egyptians had of the world that surrounded them, and of course, of the people that inhabited it. In this view, there are two different versions. On one side, the official and ideological texts and images, full of agressiveness, denying foreign people their own sovereignty, since their lands belonged to the Pharaoh. On the other hand, thanks to the discovery of some daily texts and to archaeological data, the real interactions in these regions can be seen, despite the official views. A good example of this will be analyzed in this paper: Lower Nubia, where three cultures coexisted in the same space and time: the Egyptians, Group C and Medjay, plus the frontier region with Kerma, an ascending culture which would dominate the southern part of Egypt in the II Intermediate Period.
