[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] Persians were a composition of many people beginning with the Dravidian related Elam and ending with the Western European related Tokhari. Thus if they want to make a West Euroopean looking Persian that should be fine with everybody.

The Persians spoke Elamite. The Tokari were not western Europeans. ' [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually the Elamites spoke Elamite and Persians spoke Persian. And if they came from Africa it was several THOUSANDS OF YEARS BC! Speak for yourself! The Tokharians are displayed as people with red-blond hair although I agree there were possibly Thuggara there who may have given their name to those Central Asians. Just like the Persians gave their name to the modern ones! In any case white Tokharians and black Sabari invaded the territory of northern India from Central Asia after the Persians. What YOU have to understand is that there were several likely "black" populations in Iran including the Kassites whose modern remnants are likely the Shihu or Shuwahiyyen who still claim descent from a Shihu. The Kassites had rulers like Shihu Sembara who is likely the wicked black Sembara of later Hindu scripture. In addition to these people were the small Dravidian related Taman who are possibly linked to the Ur III culture judging from skeletal remains. There were also the remnant of the taller populations related to the Hyksos who had spread abroad from Canaan (southwestern Arabia) into Wadi Mathani and the northern Maitanni. There descendants were the Daae (Daasas) or Meluhha of Iran and India better known as the Medes or Persians. There rulers were called Az-Dahaka (Astyages/Deiokes, etc.) from their south Arabian legendary ruler. Not surprisingly the Daae or Dahae tribes are equated with the Kurus-Panchalas and Meluchhas in Indic mythos who in turn are thought to be descendants of Kurush or Cyrus, the name of several Persian rulers. The Kurus are said to be of the race of the Purus or Pauravas - the purim or tripura builders of Central Asia known as the Medes. I identify the Meds of the Jat region as a remnant of these people and hence they are called "The black-faced Meds are like tamarisk sparks without even a glow of courage..." p. 328 the People of India 1999. These the black Jats have nothing to do with the early Dravidian related people of Elam who spoke "Elamite". These people were all settled in the Elam and Gandhara area long before the coming of the fair skinned brachycephalic Scythic people with prominent noses from Ferghana. Before all that were the large and highly prognathic Ubaid settlers *-4th millenium B>C. who were also probably in part connected to the earliest Eridu culture and also are known to have moved into Iran and India. These people may have been connected tto the original Umm an Nar and the Ethiopian Icthyophagii or fish-eaters. I see all of these distinct people portrayed in early Elamite iconography as well as the later fair-skinned Scythic related people. My hypotheses comes from archeology and physical anthropology as well as ethnohistory and linguistics. [/QB][/QUOTE]
