[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yonis2: [QB] Oh geez, Mike why are you cluttering this thread with images of assyrians and Persiens? This thread is about southern arabians, veddoids and mehri not levantines, assyrians, hebrews, turks etc. take that shlt somewhere else we have enough of those threads. [QUOTE]Djehuti wrote: What exactly is the relation of these peoples to Horn Africans, and what is it with other peoples in Arabia ethnically as well as historically??[/QUOTE]I don't know what the exact relationship is, but many of them have crossed the gulf of aden/red sea and settled in different places in the northern horn and assimilated into these communities. They speak south semetic languages, maybe Yom knows if their languages (and those spoken in socotra) are related more to Ethiopic or to other semitic languages spoken in the levant. there have been back and forth migration across the red sea and gulf of aden through centuries and millenia. They are also known as himyarati and are supposedly the ones who expelled the axumites with the aid of persians during the occupation in Yemen. Another interesting aspekt is that the name "socotra" has been traced back to the sanskrit, meaning "island abode of bliss," and is mentioned in different ancient indian legends, another compelling evidence of veddoid occupation of middle east before groups from central asia, syria, armenia etc migrated southwards some three or four millenia ago.
