[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Shaky. Again, anyone can produce a theory based on some fragmented fact. But it is doubtful that the rulers of Meroe needed a language from Central Asia to "unify the diverse ethnic groups who made up the Meroite state." That is a stretch. If anything, the influence of Egypt and surrounding locales is much closer. [/QUOTE]Winters is systematic in this respect. He looks for improbable relationships between geographically distant peoples, and then ignores relationships between geographically close peoples. For Winters, the place/name "tai" can somehow show a specific relationship between japan and nigeria.... it doesn't matter that the same word shows up in China and Mongolia. For Winters, use of "st" as a feminine noun form ties Berber to German.... doesn't matter that this form of feminine noun can also be found in Ancient Egyptian. This form of argument is called 'confirmation bias'. Winters does this over and over again, and is as oblvious to this error as he is to the difference between X and Y chromosome as pertains to some of this 'genetic' claims. [/QB][/QUOTE]
