Amenembet 1 took the throne of Egypt around 1991 BCE, the beginning of the 12th Dynasty,
and he had a Nubian mother.
It was not at all uncommon in Egypt during this time for Nubians to marry Egyptians and have
children.
This information came from to Nubia and Egypt: 10,000 B. C.. to 400 A. D. by Larry Ross, a professor at Lincoln University , Missouri .
Much of the 12th Dynasty
was ruled by individuals with Nubian ancestry.
My question is: If it truly was
not uncommon for Nubians and Egyptians to marry, how can anyone say for sure
that any of the dynasties did not have a ruler with Nubian blood?
