No expertise in linguistics so might be a dumb take but the cognates for river animals between agaw and PEC really lend itself to the idea that there existed some proto-language spoken along a river. Really wish linguists weren't so allergic to archaeology and genetics to see the connections here.
Today I gave my first-ever presentation at the yearly Colloquium on African Languages and #Linguistics. My question to the Africanists, Afroasiaticists, Cushiticists: why do we think #Cushitic is a thing? 1/14

🗿NABATAEAN NEWS🗿
Recently (2024), Laïla Nehmé published four #Nabataean texts from a burial site in north-western Saudi Arabia. Three are very fragmentary, but the fourth is the longest Nabataean text on stone found so far! Two things that stood out to me:

Oh hello. Let me introduce you to Mitri, an Egyptian scribe who lived 4,300 years ago.
He’s most famous now because of his extraordinary statue with its strikingly realistic, piercing eyes. They’re lined with copper & the iris is rock crystal. A truly remarkable artwork.

Did Ancient Egyptian absorb a large number of Cushitic speakers, when Upper & Lower Egypt got unified?
A tentative reconstruction of some Afroasiatic prehistory-into-history, now up on my blog.
Let's discuss!

I seem to have picked up a lot of new followers over the last few days (1k! 🤯).
So: Hi! If you're interested, below's a link to the PDF of our recently published intro "'Ethiopia' and the World, 330-1500 CE".
Otherwise, my 2021 book got a nice write-up here www.smithsonianmag.com/history/new-...
