When a friend asked me to assist her with an art project on the Nubians, we went to the local library and found--nothing. Two shelves on Egypt. Ten books on Ethiopia and Sudan. Nubia? Nothing. So, of course, if you know me at all, I decided to discover everything I could on the Nubian--or is it the Kushites (one book in the children's library)--culture.

AMEN--Where does this word really come from
Amen comes from the Nubian God, Amun or Amen. Two spellings--a great God who looked after the people.
Amen is a Nubian God.
Interesting how we end all of our prayers with a salute to one of the Gods of Africa.
I think you would find the book "Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt" by Ahmad Osman very interesting.
