[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] I see that you are not going to answer the question of your biblical and Grec-Latin literary sources for an Abyssinian Ethiopia as you proclaimed in your post when responding to DJ last week where you averred that Kush/Aithiopia of Hebrew/Greco-Latin accounts meant Abyssinia as proof that Abyssinia was the birthplace or locus of the founders/foundations of ancient Egypt. I do see what you will do is continue with ad hominen, grandstanding, and non-sequitors rather than doing the credible scholarly thing, i.e., put your money where your mouth is (cite sources in referential support of your claim and thereby teach us something replicable and falsifiable). [QUOTE]Originally posted by AncientGebts: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] If you chose to hide instead of share, again, don't try hanging your inadequecies on me with petty acts of grandstanding. The sufferers will be those who want to learn something about Africa that they may not have known before. [/qb][/QUOTE]alTakruri: Where did you learn to use that keyboard? I hope you don't talk to people like that in person. What is most always missing when people speak of Ethiopia is that the ancient name for [i]Ethiopia[/i] is [i]Tabiya[/i] (some pronounce it as [i]Tobiya[/i]). The name goes back at least to ancient Egypt times and is written in hieroglyphs as a word meaning [i]station[/i], as a description of a territory, and as a name of a very particular region. Just as [i]Egypt[/i] is a foreigner's mispronunciation of [i]Gebts[/i], [i]Ethiopia[/i] is simply a mispronunciation of [i]Tabiya[/i] by foreigners, mistakenly adding a vowel in front, mispronouncing the [i]t[/i] as [i]th[/i], and mispronouncing the [i]b[/i] as [i]p[/i]. And as you can see, foreigners mispronounced both [i]Gebts[/i] and [i]Tabiya[/i] in the same ways. [i]Gebts[/i] is also written in hieroglyphs. The connection of both [i]Gebts[/i] and [i]Tabiya[/i] to ancient Gebts is that they are words from the Amarigna and Tigrigna languages -- the languages of the founders of ancient Gebts, the Amara and Akele-Gezai. So my question is, how can anybody talk about Ethiopia without bringing Ethiopian history into the discussion? Without doing so, it is merely conducting research in a cultural vacuum. Research to inflate one's own ego. And how can anybody conduct [b]legitimate[/b] research about Ethiopia without learning Amarigna, Tigrigna, and even the Ge'ez languages? It is ridiculous to do research from the point of ignorance. And then claiming that mispronounced Amarigna and Tigrigna words are words originally of foreigners. SMH [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
