"With the discoveries of King Scorpion's tomb, dated 3250 BCE
at Abydos in the 1990s by Dr. Gunter Dryer and the Scorpion Tableau at Gebel Tjauti by Dr. John and Deborah Darnell...history
itself was introduced because King Scorpion's tomb contained the world's first
complete writing system. Dr. Bruce Williams contends that the early kings of Egypt came from Nubia ....Based on the archeological remains at
Qustul Cemetery L, and other artifacts from Nubia , it is now clear that the practices
displayed on the Scorpion
Tableau did not originate in the area designated as Egypt ."
--Ross, Larry. Nubia and Egypt : 10,000 BCE to 400 AD, p. 80
Add writing to the list of Nubian firsts.
