[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] I am not aware of any recent studies connecting the Lebou with Canaanites, but i have heard that some archeologists are connecting them with the Israelites. I think your assesment of the Tuareg appearance of the Lebou of the Ramessid period and of the latter with Canaanites is very insightful and probably correct. It would fit in the Tuareg claim of Canaanite and Phoenician ancestry. Personally it is my belief that like the Philistines, the later dark-skinned Lebou the Ramesid period represent people of Canaanite origin. The former however may have settled in the Aegean like the Tjeker and come in with the fairer skinned Sea People.[/qb][/QUOTE]The studies I speak of that connect Libyans with Canaanites are not recent but old. The connection in particular is not that Libyans are of Canaanite descent but that both Libyans and Canaanites share a common ancestry via the Egyptian delta. One source that I specifically remember is a book on Minoan and early Aegean civilization in which the author cites early emigration to Crete from Africa from neolithic to early Bronze Age times. He even calls the Bronze Age emigration a kind of exodus perhaps due to political upheaval of Egypt's unification under Narmer where refugees were displaced both to the west of the Delta in Libya as well as east to the Levant. We know that there is strong evidence both archaeologically as well as genetically that proto-Semtic entered Southwest Asia through the Levant which correlates with such migrations from the Egypt's Delta. Hopefully I can get my hands on that book on Minoan civilization, so I can post that info. [QUOTE][qb] I believe that some Libyans were the ancestors of many Canaanites of the southern Hejaz and the later SyroPalestine. I believe that their remnant were the Hejaz groups known in Assyrian writings as Mehluhha or Musri or Masri and that the latter reentered Egypt during the "Hyksos" period( which was not called Misra until after the the tribe settled there). I believe that the Fulani or Fellata are remnants of the "Libyans" that never left Africa due to both Saharan and Egyptian representations of the Libyans which I have not been able to locate and the fact that even later representations show people wearing identical designs on their attire. Nevertheless, the Fulani/Fellata have long been in the area of Egypt, Libya and Sudan and connected with the Arabian Djerafin(Terapin?)tribes up until the 20th century. Fulani are undoubtedly the Barzu Fulitani of Mauretania Caesarea (evidently coastal Algeria) and their name may have some connection with the name of the Israelite Bnei or Birzeit Yaphlet of the Hebrew writings Chronicles 7:32 and 33. They may also be the same as the Pelethi mentioned with the Cherethi. The personnage of Yaphlet is said to be the son of a "Heber" or "Beriah" through Asher identified by Kamal Salibi as the Dthu Shari (Dusariyah) of the southern Hijaz and Nejran region. As mentioned before I am in agreement with Salibi's findings of the southern origin of the Canaanite/Israelite peoples. keeping in mind the writings of the Syrians of the 14th century that state it was rare to see a fair- skinned Arab in the Hejaz I also believe there is a strong possibility remnants of the names of ancient Libyans or Lehabim and Mizraim are probably found in the early and modern Arabian names of Lehaba, Muzar, Masruh, and Djehene (Tehenu?) and Tamah. Please note most of the ancient Libyan names bear strong resemblance to those of ancient and modern Arabian names. Until the 20th century the Lahabah (or Lahaybi) are mentioned as a branch of the Masruh in northern Hejaz, next to the Khazarah (Khazraj)and Gassan or Kassan. They are mentioned by Richard Burton in his travels. The Khazarah (Jazar of Josephus) and Kassan (Kushana and Jokshan of the Bible)however claim to have moved north after the breaking of the dam at Marib. It is by tradition asserted that they that fought against the rulers of the Hejazi Misrah otherwise known the Mehluchha (Amalekites) named Samud (Khamudi?) who were also in control of Syria and the Nile valley.
