[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] As I said the early people of Libyans that I have seen from the Old Kingdom paintings look just like the Fulani. They were dark brown and with profiles identical to the Fulani. As I recall however these men were called Tjehenu. That is what the manager of the Oriental museum library told me when he went and looked it up. However, what is interesting is that the hairstyles and attire of later Libyabns on the tomb of Seti have been noted to have strong similarity to certain modern Fulani. Thus, I can come to no other concludsion that the Fulani, the Tjehenu of Kharga and the later Libyans were originally one and the same people. As for why I think they entered Arabia. Maybe I didn't make it as clear as I could have above, but as I mentioned, I believe the Pelethi, Birze Yaphlet, Barzu Fulitani and the Warith Felata (Fulani, Fula) were the same name for the same people. I believe however that the African Fulani or Felata as they are called are remnants of the original Tjehenu who were probably linked to the neolithic Saharans. I don't think it is that much of a stretch to see them as the people who became the Pelethi of Arabia (Tehama) when we know the people of the Fayum have been trading with and linked to the Levantese Tahun culture and Arabia since the neolithic, just as today the peoples of Sinai like the Beja and Haweitat live on both sides of the Red Sea. There is also the possibility that the neolithic people crossed from the area of the southern Arabia by way of the Horn. In any case the Fulani seem to represent that group of people that became ancestral certain elongated Cushitic speakers like the Oromo/Rendili and Maasai/Samburu (judging from the similar coxcomb hairstyles of the women). They also were ancestral to the Ovalheaded warriors represented in early Central Arabian rock art, but that would have been at least by 5,000 years B.C.. According to several scholars the lithics of Rub al-Khali where this rock art occurs and other places are undifferentiated from the Saharan neolithic bovidians of Fayum, Tenere, neolithic Khartoum, Kharga, Tassili, etc.. That is not to say that the African Fellata came in as part of the Hyksos movement from Arabia, as I believe many of the Tuareg did. [/QB][/QUOTE]
