[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] I noticed that some people have this misconception that the Sumerians were a black people. That's probably the case with the Ubadians, but statuary as well as surviving paintings show the Sumerians to be more caucasoid-looking people with lighter skin. Unlike some ignorant folks, I am in no way implying that they were white or have any close ties to Europeans. As BigMix says, that bust looks just like most typical Iraqis from that region today. I have this theory that the Sumerians are related to the people northern India! I base this on these facts:[list] [*]The features of Sumerian statues, paintings, and other depictions look like those of north Indians. [*]As you may know, the Hindu religion is derived from Aryan Vedic elements as well as Dravidian elements, but there are certain beliefs of Hinduism that don't seem to correspond to either. One of these is the belief in sages, or mystic holy men who can gain power through certain ascetic pratices. This belief however, seems to be prominent in Sumerian mythology. [*]The Bible states in Genesis that the people of Shinar(Sumer) orginally came from plains farther east, and travelled west until they finally settled in Mesopotamia. [*]Many Iraqi people, especially those along Mesopotamia, resemble northern Indians. Many look somewhat more Pakistani or north Indian than Arab. [/list] What do you guys think of this?
