Evidence of somali pharaonic tradition from xiis grave goods

I was rereading the Spanish archaeologists excavation of the xiis tombs and this part stood out to me. Inlays,plaques, and tiles in glass which were embedded in ither objects probably wooden boxes. I know we talked about it on here that this was likley a sign that these 1st century somalis had high purchasing power. But I think there is something bigger going on here.

Merotic royal tombs were heavily eygptianized.
by this i mean they copied literally everything to the dot. Just consider a few hundred years ago they ruled eygpt.

Here's what the inside of a merotic royal tomb looks like.

So doesnt it seems strange that you'd find grave goods reserved for merotic royal tombs which followed the ancient eygptian pharaonic cult ?

We even find eygptian facience beads that are identical to the stuff found here

These dues were even more eygptianized then the merotic royals.

I think it's extremely lazy, racist and outdated to attribute Sudanese history as just as 'Egyptianized', or 'heavily influenced by Egypt.'

The Pharaonic culture originated in southern Egypt and northern Sudan. It IS their culture.

Europeans are desperate to portray Africans as unoriginal and uncreative. This culture you're speaking about belongs to Sudan. It is not copied. Refrain from using loaded language.

I think your a bit confused. The merotic royalty ruled over eygpt and they themselves claim these eygptian traditions.
 
Anyways.

The most key aspect here is that "wooden boxes" could mean small boxes like you would normally think. But I there is another hypothetical possibility. Especially since they said they found "large quantities of glass inlay,tiles, and plaques" in a single tomb


Which is that is wasn't "wooden boxes" but a Coffin.
 
Those Spanish archaeologists were fucking retarded wallahi . Not putting two and two together.

How can you have "merotic inlays" and not realize that your obviously looking at a pharaonic tradition. Or the fact that "wooden boxes" obviously meant that this was a coffin considering how small the tomb is.
