[Nostratica] Tarkhan in Egypt
In the book, An Encyclopedia of the Ancient World, p.
111 it says
.....This shirt was found in the tomb of Tarkhan. It
was made nearly
5,000 years ago during the reign of the pharaoh Djet.
The fabric is
linen and there are pleats across
shoulders.....
There is a Tarchon of the Etruscans, and there
is a Tarkhunzas in
Anatolia around the time of Hittites. The Hittites
are circa 1800 BC.
Nobody (probably) knows how far back the Etruscan
Tarchon goes but
if Herodotus knew that they moved there, it must have
been before
around 1,000 BC. So the date in Egypt is before these by
about 1,000
years.
Does anyone know who or what Tarkhan is? I
think this was before the
Hyksos. Is this
right?
