This is the first book to claim that the Black Nubians played an essential role in the rise of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Ross is the first scholar to argue that there is a shared origin of Nile Valley Civilization between Nubian and Egyptian cultures. Nubia today is known as the nation-states of Sudan and South Sudan, and has been misrepresented for thousands of years by Egyptian sources, which minimized the role the people played in world history. This book draws on recent archaeological findings that claim Pharonic symbolism, sacred bark, and serekh, are of Nubian origin, not Egyptian.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews. This review is from: African-American Jazz Musicians in the Diaspora (Studies in African Diaspora, V. 2) (Hardcover)
Expertly written by Larry Ross (a winner of the International Association of Jazz Educators Award for Outstanding Musicianship for the piano), African-American Jazz Musicians In The Diaspora is a methodical survey of the history of jazz music in the twentieth century, including jazz in Germany 1925-1945; jazz musicians in postwar Europe; the influence American culture had on the death rates of jazz and classical musicians; contemporary changes in the European jazz scene, and more. A thoughtful, extensively researched, and fact-filled discourse, African-American Jazz Musicians In The Diaspora is very strongly recommended for the academic library Black Studies, Music Studies and/or Music History reference shelf.

Papers by Dr. Larry Ross
The ancient kingdom of the Nubians, located in the area of northern Africa known today as Sudan, was called Kush by the ancient Egyptians: their paths crossed often.
Through a mediation between the Egyptian dynastic chronology written by Manetho, an Egyptian chronicler of the 3rd century B.C., and more recent information on Nubia in antiquity from the chronologies of Steffen Wenig and Fritz & Ursula Hintze, I intend to develop a rich contextualization of the relations between these ancient empires.

I have been on Ancestry.com for about 10 years now, and they have been using my DNA to find my ancestors. A few years ago, they told me that I was a descendant of the early Virginia settlements around Jamestown: this week they found that I am a DNA match with Pocahontas and Minnie Haha Cherokee Indian (that is how her name is listed), They are finding more and more connections that I never imagined!
