[QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] ^ Just for humor, would you care to share some of this so-called archaeological 'evidence'?? Also, non of the genetic studies (as usual) support your claims. All the haplotypes peoples in India and Iraq have in common with Africans are all derived from ancestral haplogroups from the Paleolithic which makes sense since *all* humans originated in Africa. :o [/qb][/QUOTE]Sure. This is supported by red-and-black pottery which originated in Nubia, and vessels from the IVBI workshop at Tepe Yahya. The IVBI workshop was located in West Asia. Vessels here have a uniform shape and design. The red-and black pottery, and vessels sharing this style are distributed from Egypt to China, the Soviet Uzbekistan and the Indus Valley. Philip L. Kohl, in “The balance of trade in the mid-Third millennium BC”, Current Anthropology (19,1978: 463-492) noted that the intercultural style vessels show clear parallels between Nubia/Kemetian-Iranian-Sumerian and Dravidian (Indus Valley) sites. The genetic evidence speaks for itself. The origin of these genes do not go back to the paleolithic exit from africa, there origin was Africa, and the people carrying these genes today point back to their African origin. . [/qb][/QUOTE]Again a reference that does not support what is claimed. Kohl's paper is about the use of characteristic [b]stone[/b] vessels made in Tepe Yahya to trace long distance trade between the Iran Highlands, the Mesopotamian lowlands, Syria and Uzbekistan. It does not claim that there was a common civilization between them. The words "Nubian," "dravidian," and "red and black pottery" do not appear anywhere in the article. References to "Egypt," "Nile Valley, and "China" are used in comparing other instances of long distance trade not as components of this trade in stone vesels. Some quotes from the article: [QUOTE] I shall develop this position by summarizing recent archaeological work in highland Iran which has shown how long-distance trade in both finished commodities and raw materials linked geographically separated centers on the Iranian plateau with the urban communities of the alluvial plains of Mesopotamia and Khuzistan. I shall review the archaeological evidence for this trade and discuss its relevance for understanding the development of early state societies in southwestern Asia and the nature of prehistoric exchange networks. . . . Tepe Yahya, a site located in the small intermontane Soghun Valley roughly midway between Kerman and the port city of Bandar 'Abbas, provides a particularly clear illustration of cultural interaction in the 4th and early 3d millennia between the highland communities on the Iranian plateau and the more densely populated settlements on the alluvial plains of Mesopotamia and Khuzistan. . . . . The products of the IVBl workshop at Tepe Yahya form a corpus of stone material uniform in material, shape, and design motifs. Vessels belonging to this corpus share a characteristic style and are widely distributed from Soviet Uzbekistan and the Indus Valley to present-day Syria; hereafter, I shall refer to them as Intercultural Style vessels (cf, figs. 1 and 2). . . . . Fragments from the excavations at Tepe Yahya are particularly instructive in that they are found in association with half-finished bowls and debitage chips and are limited to certain levels of the sequence. The vessels were carved from chlorite, a soft green magnesium silicate, which was locally available in the mountains north and west of the Soghun Valley. Several chlorite outcrops, scarred with pick and saw marks, were discovered, attesting to the former removal and utilization of the stone (Kohl 1975a:21, figs. 4, 5). Both archaeological and geological evidence suggested that some of the elaborately carved Intercultural Style vessels which had been buried in "royal" tombs at Ur and placed in major "temples" throughout Sumer had been carved in the stone workshops of the small town at Tepe Yahya.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
