Nubia Invented Writing


"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.
