[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Recovering Afrocentrist: [qb] Contrary to popular belief, "Black headed people" was a detonation of the Akkadians. They were called so because of their black tresses, in stark contrast of their neighborhing bald headed sumerians. It was the sumerians who labeled the akkadians "Black headed." [b]The Sumerians shaved their heads and their faces, while the Akkadians wore long hair and full beards and mustaches. Hence the phrase, "Black headed ones" originated in this period as a description of the Akkadians in contrast to the Sumerians.[/b] (Harper, The Biblical World, p. 290) Source: [URL=http://books.google.com/books?id=la8QAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA290&dq=sumerians+black-headed&lr=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0&cd=9#v=onepage&q=sumerians%20black-headed&f=false]left column[/URL] [/qb][/QUOTE]Black Headed is usually a reference to the hair being black. Haven't heard of any finds showing a clear connection to Cushitic people in Summeria. Usually you have to go to Palestine for such connections. [/QB][/QUOTE]
