The old Egyptian and Sudani population be it rural, metropolitan, aristocratic or just plain old peasant folk were all African folks were the same folk.</div> <bR> <div> Peace and health and blessings to you and our ancient brothers and sisters.</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="655"><div> <I><B>Illustrations</B></I></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 6118 WIDTH="655"><div> The following images all come from the great Theban Cemetery in Southern Egypt, Kemet.  This is the largest and oldest necropolis in the world.  It is still remains an excellent source of information regarding the life and death of the  Old Africans who lived and did great things along the Nile.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="637" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 344 WIDTH="633"><div> <IMG SRC="0f6c8280.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="296" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>"Egyptian" Tribute Bearer, TT 78</B></div> <div> Mekhitarian, 104</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 355 WIDTH="633"><div> <IMG SRC="0f8c8330.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="307" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>"Nubian" Dancer, TT 78</B></div> <div> Mekhitarian, 104</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 548 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="0fa58f40.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="500" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Tribute bearers from the tomb of </B><I><B>SobekHotep. </B></I><B>TT.63.</B></div> <div> Taylor, 6.</div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 360 WIDTH="633"><div> <IMG SRC="0f9c8380.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="312" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B>King </B><I><B>Thutmose </B></I><B>III, Wadi Halfa</B></div> <div> Taylor, 30</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 352 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="0fc58300.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="304" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Tribute bearers from the tomb of </B><I><B>Huy</B></I></div> <div> Taylor, 6.</div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 531 WIDTH="633"><div> <I><IMG SRC="0fd80c80.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="456" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Africans working the grape vine.
