[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [qb] [b]osirion - As usual, you take the simplest thing, insert a Caucasian, and run with it. How many times must you be told that there was no such people as Hittites, they were Hatti: and R is NOT a White haplogroup?[/b] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: It would be nice if someone actually adressed the Amarna letters rather than skirting around the issue. Why would an Egyptian princess want to marry a Hittite. Why would she show no interest in being with her own kind? Was she not married to her own kind? Why now the interest in a foreigner especially one from an area that we know has R1b populations? [b] Ankhesenamun's thinking was very understandable, though naive. She was about 19 years old, the man she was required to marry (Ay) was 70 years old. Her mistake cost Zannanza his life, and it ultimately cost her own life. [/b] Again, I am not religious about Egypt. Just like there are Black people in European history (even in their royal families), I see no reason why Indo-Europeans could not have also been a part of Egyptian history in somewhat the same way as Blacks in Europe. [b]Here your delusions in proportionality show through.[/b] Egypt is certainly not a European culture and has affinities with the people of the Sahara and East Africa more so than anywhere else. But it is an interesting question - why an Asiatic husband? The Amarna letters are interesting in that it is suggestive of a link between Asiatic males and the royal families of Egypt. [b]osirion, everyone but you, understands that these were ONE-WAY "Female" transactions! Egyptians did NOT send their Princesses to foreign courts, they only TOOK Princesses "FROM" foreign courts.[/b] [i]Letter from Kadashman Enlil I, king of Babylon, To Amenhotep III Kadashman Enlil of Babylon to Amenhotep of Egypt [..missing..] How is it possible that, having written to you in order to ask for the hand of your daughter - oh my brother, you should have written me using such language, telling me that you will not give her to me as since earliest times no daughter of the king of Egypt has ever been given in marriage? Why are you telling me such things? You are the king. You may do as you wish. If you wanted to give me your daughter in marriage who could say you nay? But you, keeping to your principle of not sending anybody, have not sent me a wife. Have you not been looking for a fraternal and amicable relationship, when you suggested to me - in writing - a marriage, in order to make us become closer? Why hasn't my brother sent me a wife? [...] It is possible for you not to send me a wife, but how could I refuse you a wife and not send her to you, as you did? I have daughters, I will not refuse you in any way concerning this.... As to the gold about which I wrote you, send me now quickly during this summer [.... ] before your messenger reach me, gold in abundance, as much as is available. I could thus achieve the task I have undertaken. If you send me this summer [...] the gold concerning which I've written to you, I shall give you my daughter in marriage. Therefore, send gold, willingly, as much as you please. But if you do not send me gold [...] so I can achieve the task I have undertaken , why haven't you sent me any earlier willingly? After I have finished the task I have undertaken , why would I wish for gold? Even if you sent me 3000 talents of gold I would not accept them. I would return them and would not give you my daughter in marriage.[/i] [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]First, I will not listen to a racist. Second, I didn't say anything about R1b being Caucasian. If we don't want to call them Hittites then how about Syrians or Turks, etc. Point is that R1b is not uncommon in Syrians and Turks and it is from this population that the Wife of Tut wanted a husband.
