[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mansa Musa: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Thought2: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mansa Musa: [qb]That part isn't so much non-sense until you add the second part to it. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thought Writes: Good points Mansa. What I was calling non-sense is the idea that one would use mythology as primary evidence pertaining to a question of biological science. Certainly the mythology of the Bible, Quran and Torah can be used as supporting evidence. But the bar is much higher for primary evidence. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree. Richard Poe gives credence to the idea that the Phonecians were mixed race by proposing the question of [b]why[/b] the ancient myths counted them as a Son of Ham (Ancient Phonecia is believed to be Modern Lebanon and Canaan a Son of Ham is a region that extended from Modern Israel through Lebanon to Syria). He cites the fact that in the tomb of Ramses III Levantine people or Syro-Palestinians a group which would include the Phonecians are depicted in 2 shades of tan skin. [IMG]http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/shurikenjay/Peopleoftheworldinegyptiantimes.jpg[/IMG] He proposes that this may be evidence of intermixture and that perhaps the Phonecians were indeed Black like the other descendants of Ham but intermixed at an early date with light skinned Asiatics. An interesting theory but a theory based on myth and eyeballing nonetheless. Can you tell us anything about the biological history of this region Thought? In particular I am interested in the genetic makeup of the Lebanese. Some actually consider a portion of the population to be socially acceptable as Whites based on appearance. Also watch out for a PM I have some more questions on a similar subject now that I think about it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
