[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] I thought this piece, posted in [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=8&t=004338#000021]another thread[/URL], may well belong here too, based on its tone, and what the claims stand for ;) ... [i]“…the Deir el Bahri reliefs do show a number of African people and apparently African animals, such as at least one rhinoceros and a giraffe. For Bimson, and for many of his readers, this was decisive evidence in proving an African location for the territory. Decisive enough to make them ignore or forget all the other evidence that clearly located Punt/the Divine Land in Palestine/Phoenicia. But if Punt really was Phoenicia, [b]why then such an African influence[/b]? Why the large amount of space devoted to seemingly African animals and people with clearly [b]Negroid features[/b]? This is a [b]question that cannot be ignored.[/b] Velikovsky himself suggested that the African elements were imports, and stressed that [b]the Puntites themselves **were not Negroes**[/b], but [b]Semites or **Hamites**[/b]. This in fact is true. [b]The Puntites look very much like the Egyptians[/b], and curiously enough, [b]sport long pointed beards[/b] of a type worn in Egypt only by the pharaoh. (It should be noted also in this regard that the earliest Egyptian monarchy, the Horus kings of the First Dynasty, [b]claimed to have originated in Punt[/b]: and this [b]**incidentally provides yet another dramatic connection with Asia**[/b]; for, as David Rohl has illustrated (Legend: The Genesis of Civilization: 1998), the [b]god Osiris, form whom the Egyptian royalty claimed descent[/b], was not only specifically linked to Byblos, but was [b]himself in origin a Mesopotamian god named Asar.[/b] Rohl also shows, in the same place, how the peoples of [b]Lebanon also traced their origin back to Mesopotamia)[/b].”[/i] - by Emmet Sweeney ^Quite laughable, including the comedic claim about Ausar (Osiris), but this here, is typically what "Hamitism" is all about. Ps - even "Semitic", at one time, was used as a euphemism for a "race" from southwest Asia, but now of course, it is utilized within linguistic circles strictly as a linguistic construct rather than a "racial" one.
