[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by matu: [QB] HI! No worries, I appreciate the clarification. Again, I read somewhere (on this board and the sister board) on the Natufians populating the Levant. Otherwise, who do you suppose the Greeks referred to in this area as "Aethiopians"? [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Aethiopia first appears as a geographical term in classical sources, in reference to the Upper Nile region, as well as all the regions south of the Sahara desert. Its earliest mention is in the works of Homer: twice in the Iliad, and three times in the Odyssey. The Greek historian Herodotus specifically uses it to refer to such parts of Sub-Saharan Africa as were then known parts of the inhabitable world. [/QUOTE]^^^the term does not apply to the Levant If you want to talk about what Greek writers said you need to quote them before people can comment The Natufian culture existed from 13,000 to 9,800 B.C. It ended over 9,000 years before greek civilization began . Therefore it is irrelevant to what Greek writers said. the Greeks did not know about them read this thread, more on Natufians http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=006953 [/QB][/QUOTE]
