Ta-Seti

Ta-Seti ("Land of the bow", also Ta Khentit, "the Frontier" or "Borderland") was the first nome (administrative division) of Upper Egypt, one of 42 nomoi in Ancient Egypt. Ta-Seti marked the border area towards Nubia, and the name was also used to refer to Nubia itself.
History.
Every nome was ruled by a nomarch (provincial governor), who answered directly to the pharaoh.
The area of the district was about 2 "cha-ta" (about 5.5 hectare / 4.8 acres; 1 cha-ta equals roughly 2.75 hectare / 2.4 acres) and about 10,5 "iteru" (about 112 km / 69,6 miles, 1 iteru equals roughly 10,5 km / 6.2 miles) in length.
The "Niwt" (main city) was Abu / Elephantine (part of modern Aswan) and among other cities were P'aaleq / Philae (modern Philae), Sunet / Syene (modern Aswan) and Pa-Sebek / Omboi (modern Kom Ombo). Every "niwt" had a "Het net" (temple) dedicated to the chief deity and a "Heqa het" (nomarchs residence).
The district's main deity was Horus and among others major deities were Anuket, Arensnuphis, Hathor, Isis, Khnum, Mandulis, Satet and Sobek.
Today the area is part of the Aswan Governorate.
The Ta-Seti people and their identity is still trying to be deciphered. Today, from what is known they are believed to have spoken a Nilo-Saharan language.
