[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [qb] ...as indicated in the quote that you are debating, the quotation was gleaned from http://indepthafrica.com/facts-about-africa/african-tribes/afar-people/ [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes. I understand that. I saw the source and have read it with my eyes. My question is where is the basis for their claims?? [QUOTE][qb]I would suggest that you read the entire article; keeping in mind that the author is writing about the dynamics of the historical processes - it is also assumed as common knowledge that the Beja (Ta Seti) and the Afar are virtually the same people and culture... [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm well aware of the dynamic of the historical process, but obviously the author is confused. The modern Beja are not the same as the ancient Setjau of Ta Seti. Also Beja and Afar although related are not the same since the Afar language is East Cushitic and closest related to Saho but related to Omo, Tana, Oromo, and Somali. The Beja language were once classified as North Cushitic but is now considered its own unique branch of Afrasian possessing close affinities to Egyptian as well as some to Cushitic. All these peoples as northeast Africans are obviously related to each other in some way but it is foolish to say that they are all one and the same. [/QB][/QUOTE]
