[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] [QUOTE]You want to know why? Because he is mentioned in Cush’s lineage in the next verse; Genesis 10:8. Note; if you’re going to imply that the Hebrews purposefully didn’t put Nimrod in Cush’s lineage, you’re directly undermining your earlier notion that the Hebrews confused Kassites with Cushites by mistake. [/QUOTE]We went over Gen. 10:8, the point was to show that for some reason he is treated distinctly and my aim wasn't to imply that Nimrod was purposely omitted, my point has always been that the Hebrews were making sense of names and genealogies that already existed. Hence, they associated Kassu with Kush similar to how the Greeks associated Egyptian Gods with their own. In my opinion the Hebrews didn't necessarily think they were related by default but were struck by the phonemic correspondence to the word Cush. [QUOTE]Josephus supports me, so I can’t have ulterior motives for not citing him. Like I said earlier, he traces all sons of Cush to Arabian groups, directly opposing any talks about unrelated lineages of African and Asian Cushites in the mind of the Hebrew. [/QUOTE]Josephus is the one who thought Zipporah was African based on her appellation so I'm not sure why you assume that Josephus all of a sudden supports you? I myself also told you that the sons of Cush, besides Sheba left for southern Arabia (Josephus agrees, calling the Queen of Sheba the "Queen of Ethiopia and Egypt"). So how is it that this doesn't agree with me when it's exactly what I'd stated and that people across the red sea DID evince close relationships, an argument put fourth by Goldenberg. I thought perhaps you went too far when invoking Mesopotamia. I'm wondering where exactly Josephus does this. [QUOTE]“the Ethiopians were considered as occupying all the south coasts of both Asia and Africa, divided by the Red Sea into Eastern and Western Asiatic and African.” - Ephorus ‘’if the moderns have confined the appellation Ethiopians to those only who dwell near Egypt, this must not be allowed to interfere with the meaning of the ancients.” - Strabo[/QUOTE]Since when has Mesopotamia straddled the South Coast? Also, you need to be careful about quoting out of context. Ephorus mentioned what I have and Herodotus puts that into context by describing the Eastern Ethiopians as different in language and hair morphology. Strabo later describes the Southern Indians as "looking like Ethiopians". In the quote you provided, he doesn't even mention Asia, we should understand that Strabo described "Ethiopians" much further south beyond the capital of Meroe (no where "near Egypt"). Could there have been related people along the southern coast of the red sea? I've already stated so. Mesopotamia and India however, is another can of worms. You are also making a serious error by equating Greek Aethiopia with Hebrew Cushi, as one is only translated to represent the other when there is overlap and much of the time there isn't any.
