But yes he is a good scholar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpfkp4ZWm4U You seem to be well versed on the Moors and Berbers. Your post about the Moors were good. I don't know much about the Moors and I usually avoid debating about them, because to me their origins seem to complex compared to the Ancient Egyptians. [/qb][/QUOTE]I know a lot about the Moors and Arabs because I researched them writing some articles for Dr. Van Sertima's Journal of African civilization. I remember pleading with him about putting out something on the Moors. i knew he was interested in the subject matter because he used to teach a course at Rutgers where he was mentioningg some things about it. That's how I know that the skeletons of the early Arabs or Arabians and rock art were up until the Bronze age very similar to those found in the Nile Valley and the Sahara. Unfortunately a lot of that material on the Arabians and ancient Asia was taken out by the co-editor who then proceeded to plagiarize some of what I wrote and put it in his own article. (Which I will unfortunately be angry at for the next few lifetimes - knowing me.) Most of that research was done for a thesis at the University of Chicago and under the counsel of the head of the American Anthropological at the time, Dr. Jane Buikstra. I had also learned something of the Upper Nile valley through independent study there with Bruce Williams who had looked into Ta Seti. I have conversed and met with many people involved in this subject so i know something about what I am speaking of although I may like to joke. That is why believe me when i say genetics is irrelevent when you don't know the historical movements that have gone on I'm just speaking from the point of view other specializations that are equally as important. one thing is certain if the ancient Arabs were NOT black than NEITHER WERE were the Ethiopians and ancient Egyptians and Saharans who were identical populations on both sides of the Red Sea. That is a major reason why I write about it. People have to understand Arabia, east Africa and even regions further north and east were at one time populated by related peoples. At no time will genetics ever be able to rule this out unless dna from those ancient peoples or their skeletons is analyzed. Posting haplotype studies and pictures of modern people who are Arabs only by nationality, language or because they have just some mild amount of ancestry from these ancient groups does not address the issue of who ancient Arabians i.e. the Sabaeans and their later black descendants in the Muslim period the non-Syrian Arabs i.e."Moorish Arabs" were related to.
