" In the new kingdom period, many of the sea people warriors married egyptian women and iin the next generation produced mixed egyptoseapeople children."
My question is, where are the written records that state these theories? How can science just decide that egyptians married foreigners...maybe they didn't. We obviously were not alive back then, so how would we know for sure? Maybe they were strict people who only married their own, maybe not. No one can really say for certain. This is just what I think, though. Hope I didn't offend anyone. |

| Jessica,this does not seem likley because Mentuhotep II is shown in a tomb with foregin wives. We also know that Rameses II himself had over 100 wives from foregin countries. It seems that Egyptians would intermarry with others,but they would never give their women as tribute to other people. I don't believe the Egyptians were as xenophobic as we are today,and anyone who assimilated into Egyptian soceity was considered Egyptian. |
