Riddles of: Egypt and Nubian EmpiresOnline version Flow clues across two great empires. by Nour Al-Ayadi 1 I am a people spoken of in the Bible's ancient text, who settled in Egypt when the Hyksos ruled — and what came next? Slaves we became, bound in labor, sweat, and chains, until the Exodus freed us from those hard and bitter plains. 2 I am a land near Somalia's sun-warmed shore. Hatshepsut sent five ships to reach my door. They came for myrrh and fragrant ointments rare, and left with gold and ivory beyond compare. 3 I am a weapon on wheels, swift as the desert wind. The Egyptians had never seen me; and so they could not win. The Hyksos rode me across Suez, striking fear in every land. What am I, that shattered Egypt's confidence in desert sand? 4 I promised 'peace and brotherhood between us forever' in stone. My enemy and I fought at Kadesh, then called a truce alone. I carved my face in cliffs above the Nile so vast, with ears so huge on statues ; three whole feet were cast. 5 I am a queen who wore the double crown with grace, yet my stepson may have erased my name and face. I chose myrrh and frankincense over swords and war, and sent five ships to Punt to open up a trading door. 6 I am the river that carried both kingdoms on my back, connecting Mediterranean coasts to Africa's deepest track. Goods and ideas flowed along me, north and south for years. I am the watery spine of empires, the route all trade reveres. 7 I am the stretch of years when foreign hands held Egypt's crown. I lasted seventy years before proud Egyptians drove me down. Kamose and Ahhotep were the ones who broke my reign. Name the people I belong to, invaders from the plain. 8 I am the stepson who could not wait for the throne to fall. I marched into Palestine, Syria, and Nubia; I conquered all. Some say I took a darker path to win my crown at last. Who am I; the empire builder, towering in the past?
