Why are we still calling Amun an Egyptian god when in Kush he symbolically became a different aspect of an older God. This is why his first association with the Ram is from Nubia, not Egypt. Are you simply going to look over his affinity with the Ram in Nubia and continue to say it is an Egyptian God because they possibly adopted the name?

By no means are they going to connect Egypt with Black Africa. There are still people arguing that Egypt is not even in Africa. And even if it is it was never peopled by African people. They’re delusional and grasping at straws.

I find it highly silly that people are attempting to argue the origin of the Ram headed Amun. The first time it appears is in Nubia under Egyptian conquest. However, there is no examples of Amun as a Ram headed God in Egypt before it appears in Nubia that clearly suggests Amun became associated with a local Nubian God that had previously existed. Here is what make the argument even more silly. Even though we know Egypt mentions Dedun as a Nubian deity, I highly doubt there is any evidence of a Dedun cult in Nubia. The only early reference we have comes from Egypt and then a later acknowledgment of it being associated with Osiris during the reign of Atlanersa. This is a general statement, please stop the silliness. Egypt can make a claim and we accept it but when Kushites said the Ram headed God is their god, you all want to question it when everything clearly indicates it is the case.
