[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AswaniAswad: [qb] The oldest Christians according to ancient Jewish texts were the Meunim or Ma'in fishermen of the Tihama Asir. They influenced the early kinsmen Azdites, the Ghassan and Lakhmids or Bait Lahm who founded (Bethlehem)in Syria and lived in Hira. These people in Arabia were called Azdites many of whom were Jewish before they became Christian. [QUOTE] [/QUOTE]dana The related Baliyy or El Beliun of the Banu Kuda'a (Kuth) moved into Egypt's eastern deserts and Nubia and were the "Jacobite Christian" section of the Beja who otherwise were known as Magians. They were called Balau or Balawi in Eritrea. The Beja then moved into the Tigrean province and Christianity spead through them to other Amhara related people Dana where do u get this information from the BAnu Kuda who are related to the bani kindy they moved into the eastern desert of egypt but they did not bring christianity to the Beja u are right about the jacobite syrians but it came from abu Halawi i am of Beja origin and we have different traditions of how we entered middle egypt as well as places like ismaeliya and our connections with nubians as well as eritrea and axum. [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, the Balau or Bellawi are thought to be of t1he Banu Kuda'a (Himyarites) and are the same people as the Hadareb Beja who came in the 6th century supposedly and were not the Jacobites. My mistake. The Jacob Christians came earlier and were the related to the Blemmyes thought to be a different Beja group. I do not know of any tradition saying they were Syrian unless you are talking about the Farasan Christians of the Banu Taghlib who were the "black Christians" forced from Syria and settling along the African coasts across from the Farasan Islands next to the Axumites. The information I have on the black Syrians or Farasan Christians comes from the book Axum by Yuri Korbischanov and on the Blemmyes from Richmond Palmer's, 'Bornu Sahara and Sudan. I never heard of an Abu Halawi. Is he a Copt and which Beja people are you from?. [/QB][/QUOTE]
