Naqada (Egyptian Arabic: نقادةNaqāda; Coptic language: ⲛⲉⲕⲁⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛNekatērion;[4]Ancient Greek: ΠαμπανιςPampanis[3], Ancient Egyptian: Nbyt), is a town on the west bank of the Nile in Qena Governorate, Egypt, situated ca. 20 km north of Luxor. It includes the villages of Tukh, Khatara, Danfiq, and Zawayda. According to 1960 census, it is one of the most uninhabited areas and had only 3,000 inhabitants, mostly of Christian faith[5] who preserved elements of the Coptic language up until the 1930s.[6]
Naqada stands near the site of a prehistoric Egyptiannecropolis: The town, called Ombos, was the centre of the cult of Set and large tombs were built there c. 3500 BCE.[7]
The large quantity of remains from Naqada has enabled the dating of the entire archeological period throughout Egypt and its environs, hence the town name Naqada is used for the pre-dynastic Naqada culture c. 4400–3000 BCE. Other Naqada culture archeological sites include el Badari, the Gerzeh culture, and Nekhen.[citation needed]
In popular cultureEdit
In the Stargate franchise, alien civilizations make extensive use of a mineral, naquada, named after the archaeological site.
