[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] Is Obengo currently using this term "Négro-Egyptien" ? (Eng: Negro-Egyptian) Amun Ra how can you support the idea of Egyptians inspring Greeks but not Eguptian inspiring semetic languages, hense "Afrasian' ? [/qb][/QUOTE]I read some scholars referring to the Black-Egyptian phylum, while I used Afro-Egyptian phylum on this thread. Negro-Egyptian is ok but sounds a bit archaic. I'm not big on Afro-centrism, so I think Ancient Greeks were already a well developed culture just to be able to appreciate the level of advancement of Ancient Egyptians even if the Ancient Egyptian and the Kushite civilization predate the Ancient Greek civilization. On this thread, it's not about inspiration but about linguistic genetic relationship. There's no doubt that people in the Middle East and the rest of the world were relatively isolated from Africa after the initial OOA for many years. At that time they acquired mutations (new SNPs and STRs) and had time to change their physical phenotypes due to the environment as did Africans. But after that time, in more recent era, which is my point, there was also many interactions and genetic exchanges between Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the rest of the world (probably to a lower degree due to geographic distance). This doesn't prove Semitic languages have a genetic relationship with Ancient Egyptian, Chadic and Cushitic languages. Although it can show the possibility of borrowing between those language families. [/QB][/QUOTE]
