[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by awlaadberry: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [IMG]http://olmec98.net/elam2.jpg[/IMG] There is textual evidence supporting a relationship between the founders of Sumer, Elam and Dilmun. Col. Henry Rawlinson , used textual evidence to determine that a link existed between the Mesopotamians to their ancestors in Africa . Rawlinson called these people Kushites. There is a positive relationship between crania from Africa and Eurasia. The archaeologist Marcel-Auguste Dieulafoy (Dieulafoy,2004) and Hanberry (1981) maintains that their was a Sub-Saharan strain in Persia . These researchers maintain that it was evident that an Ethiopian dynasty ruled Elam from a perusal of its statuary of the royal family and members of the army ( Dieulafoy, 2004; Dieulafoy, 2010;Hansberry,1981). Dieulafoy (2010 ) noted that the textual evidence and iconography make it clear that the Elamites were Africans, and part of the Kushite confederation .Dieulafoy (2010) made it clear that the Elamites at Susa were Sub-Saharan Africans. [IMG]http://olmec98.net/elam1.jpg[/IMG] Marcel Dieulafoy and M. de Quatrefages observed that the craniometrics of the ancient Elamites of Susa indicate that they were Sub-Saharan Africans or Negroes (Dieulafoy,2010). Ancient Sub-Saharan African skeletons have also been found in Mesopotamia (Tomczyk et al, 2010). The craniometric data indicates that continuity existed between ancient and medieval Sub-Saharan Africans in Mesopotamia (Ricault & Waelkens,2008). References Dieulafoy, J. 2004.

[/qb][/QUOTE]But Clyde, why couldn't they have just been dark-skinned and kinky-haired, but not from what is called "Africa"? This is a problem when it's assumed that anyone dark-skinned and kinky-haired is from the area that is called "Africa". Do you agree? [/qb][/QUOTE]You have not read the post. If you had read the post you would see that the Classical writers plus the Bible claim that the Elamites were Kushites and that they came from Africa. [QUOTE] The ancients were sure the Kushites had founded the Elamite civilization.[b] According to Strabo, the Roman geographer the first Elamite colony of Susa, was founded by Tithonus, a King of Kush, and father of Memnon.[/b]Susa was a major Elamite city. Strabo in Book 15,chapter 3,728, wrote that "In fact, it is claimed that Susa was founded by Tithonus Memnon's father, and that his citadel bore the name Memnonium. The Susians are also called Cissians; and Aeschylus, calls Memnon's mother Cissia. [/QUOTE]Kush and the Kushites came from Africa, it is appropriate to call them African. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
