[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] The world has come a long way since Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Arabic texts referred to all populations of land washed by the Indian Ocean as Kushi/Aithiop/Black. Now we're inundated by only notions of only the region of Africa that supplied slaves to the New World as the only true blacks. If so, might as well go back to using negro. Nowadays we mistake the Hebrew's Kushi for the linguists' Cushitic when nothing so limiting could be farther from the truth. And des it even matter what the first archaeologists who uncovered the remains of these old civilizations had to say about their origins? And the things they said were said just after the end of slavery of blacks in the Western world with all of its notions of blacks being incapable of even mocking civilization less lone creating any. [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] Osirion [QUOTE] [b]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.[/b] [/QUOTE]Osirion Think about that for a second..what would make the Sumerians hair stand out from their neighbours during that era? you are hard pressed to find alotta non black-haired people in that area today I know having been to the area myself a number of times. The second part of your statement about them being Cushtite or non Cushtite is a little more complex..my guess is they were Black Asiatics who had contacts with Africans. [b]after fashioning the Black-headed people the God...Enki? went to Meluhha and perfusely blessed it.[/b] Magan and Meluhha being Kemet and Kush respectivly. from SN Kramer. And if the Biblical verses holds true then there was African Gene flow as well..but only genetist can give a definate anwser. [/qb][/QUOTE]The fact that the Sumerians referred to themselves as Black headed is not in itself sufficient evidence to conclude anything about the origin of the peoples. Black headed does normally mean Black hair. Just like White headed in Akkadian and Ahmaric text is a reference to White hair. What I would like to see is multiple points of evidence: skeletal and genetic evidence is usually needed in order to ascertain African heritage. Using art work to determine ethnicity is really bad unless of course you have other supporting evidence and just are using these artifacts as a visual tool to make a point. The aboriginal Arabs are a Black people of Cushitic ancestry. However, the Sumerians being Black is based on what skeletal finds? [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
