[QUOTE]Originally posted by RedCow: [QB] OK Everybody, I am getting "into" this subject passionately. And my main sources are from reading Francophone materials since the countries of the West Africa are mostly Francophone. I was just looking at a French Jewish blog that is dealing with the possible Jewish ancestry of the Peuls with an article written by a Peul comparing Fulani traditions and Judaism based upon oral traditions revealed by Amadou Hampate Ba. Another about Amadou Hampate Ba says this .... http://www.actes-sud.fr/extrait.php?codeud=F71170 Au cours d’un processus historique lointain non élucidé, les habitants de ce pays, quoique d’ethnies différentes (sans doute à dominante peule depuis leur arrivée massive dans le Fouta Toro, mais aussi sérères, wolofs, soninkés, etc.), en vinrent tous à pratiquer la langue peule, laquelle devint pour eux un facteur d’unité linguistique, voire culturelle2. Le "peuple toucouleur" n’est donc pas une ethnie au sens exact du mot mais un ensemble d’ethnies soudées par l’usage de la même langue et, au fil du temps, plus ou moins mêlées par voie de mariages. Les Toucouleurs eux-mêmes se désignent par le nom de halpoular : "ceux qui parlent le poular" (c’est-à-dire le peul). On les appelle aussi Foutanké : "ceux du Fouta". Basically, Fuuta Toro was already occupied by Wolofs, Serers, Soninkes and when the Peuls came in from the outside these people adopted the Pulaar language and became Hal-Pulaar-en. The Tukulor are an amalgam of ethnic groups. On my favorite Senegalese site to visit it details that the Peuls haves light skin, fine features, bah, bah, bah......(inside joke) On their forums they ask and argue constantly about the differences between Peul and hal-Pulaar-en. I am convinced by reading Amadou Hampate Ba's untranslated materials that their is a connection between the Ancient Israelites and Ancient Egyptians. Some say the original Egyptians were Peul or vice versa. I know I'm not going deep into the specifics here. I want to do that in another venue (hint). Yes, I've seen the Saharan rock art sites. This is my favorite from Chad. http://ennedi.free.fr/ Go down to Pastoral and click Groupes Mixtes and see the Peuls. And they all praise the Fulani culture to the highest degree. I wish seriously that you really could read all these websites. Then you'd get my enthousiam. What the Francophones do not have is the genetic date written in English. They are going by knowledge of culture and traditions. And I know the Sahara is the mother of Ancient Egypt and West Africa. What the Africans have that I do not have is their knowledge of their traditionss, folk tales and beliefs. Check this out: http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/ForumDiaspora/message/11264 See they are debating these issues everywhere in Black Francophonie. This is not just me. and King as for being a man. In the West African shapeshifting tradition which was brought to Americas, theoretically a good magician could turn into a lower animal and vice versa. One could turn into a snake, dog, ram, or a bull. Is that what the ancient Egyptians were trying to say with their animal headed deities? BTW, This another of Dr. A. M. Lam's books "The Paths of the Nile" http://www.menaibuc.com/article.php3?id_article=148 [/QB][/QUOTE]
