They have some designs that look very similar to your friend's ancestor. The culture was so far advanced from the tribes we find after these people that I couldn't help but think of the Middle East. There are some interesting YouTubes on the Mississippi Culture mounds, and some dissertations can be found on it too. One writer mentions the "otherness" of these original immigrants.

African tonal languages include Amharic, Shona, Yorùbá, Igbo, Luganda, Ewe, and Zulu. Turkish has elements of a tone language, but there is disagreement about how much prominence pitch must have in order to label a language tonal. In tonal languages, the pitch accent must be present. That makes classification even more difficult. Hungarian is an example. Although Hungarian (a Uralic language) is not a pitch-accent language, Hungarian has four distinct tonal melodies: The 'raising' and the 'falling' and the first syllable of each word is stressed. Also the vowels have different tones.<br /><br />Among the ancient languages, Sumerian and Akkadian had tonal features that resemble some East African languages like Amharic which is spoken in Ethiopia. Not all ancient languages are classified as tonal. It is not possible to say that the earliest humans spoke tonal languages, but it is certain that they expressed themselves by using pitch changes.This is evident in the Latin languages where the pitch rises at the end of a sentence when asking a question or drops at the end of the sentence when making a statement.<br /><br /><br />Alice C.

My husband is Punjabi from the Indian side and so his "mother tongue" is Punjabi which is also a tonal language and very difficult to learn and a lot of times when he speaks English, he sounds like is singing the words or sentences. My question to you is why only African languages and Chinese language and Punjabi in India and Pakistan seems to be the only tonal language. And tonal language where the original way of speaking why did we humans stop speaking that way.

The Anakim were deified rulers; what Genesis calls the "mighty men of old" who were heroes and men of renown. Anak and his Anakim people lived in the region of Hebron, Sarah settlement. Hebron marked the northern boundary of Abraham's Edomite territory. Anak's father was Arba. Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. <br /><br />In Numbers 13:33, the Anakim are associated with the Nephilim. In Deuteronomy 2:10, they are associated with the with the Raphaim, and in Joshua 15:13, they are associated with the Calebites. Supposedly, Caleb drove the Anakim out of the region, but there is much evidence that they remained established in Canaan. Shrine cities, such as Hazor, were governed by Ha'biru (Hebrew) ruler-priests, so the attempts of Caleb and Joshua to capture these settlements suggests a power struggle between kinsmen, rather than an attempt by strangers to uproot people from the land.<br /><br />The Anakim and the Nephilim are linked to the giants, the "sons" of God, and the "powerful ones of old" in Genesis 6:1-4. The word npyl (nephil) in Aramaic means giant or great one and is equivalent to nfy in Arabic, meaning hunter. It is said concerning Nimrod that he was a mighty hunter or a mighty man before the Lord.<br /><br />The clue to understanding Genesis 6 is the word gibbor-iym (powerful ones). This passage is speaking about ancient rulers who were regarded as the "sons of the gods" or deified kings (elohiym). The gibbor-iym are referred to as elohiym. Elohiym is usually translated "gods" but really it means deified rulers.<br />Alice C.

The Nilotic peoples had a wide range of skin tones, as is true even today.<br /><br />The Tuatha De Danaan of Irish tales were a ruler caste. Some of the rulers were regarded as deified rulers (a idea that was also held among the ancient Egyptians). I believe that there is a connection between the Tuatha De Danaan and "Khan O Dan." Khan O Dan is the older name of the region of Eastern Canada where the Ainu settled. The Ainu originated in the Nile Valley and migrated via the British Isles, Finland and Scandinavia to Greenland, Labrador and the eastern seaboard of Canada. The word "Canada" comes from Khan O Dan. The Ainu of eastern Canada are now called "Micmac" (meaning friend) but earlier they were called the "Beothique" by the French and "Beothuck" by the English. Thique and Thuck may be variants of Tuatha. I'll keep researching this possible connection.<br /><br />The Ainu rulers were bearded and had a distinctive red skin tone. Reddish-brown is a good description of the average Egyptian today who works in the sun, but when we speak of Africa we must acknowledge the broadest genetic diversity of anywhere in the world.Alice C.

That's a BROWN color with a reddish undertone, at best. Red is a shade of brown, so all "red/adam" peoples of the ancient would have had a brown skin-color, so King David (and others) would naturally have been as brown-skinned as any average African today.Richard Høyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365747744136261072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-16527017252340429222014-03-13T08:44:11.023-07:002014-03-13T08:44:11.023-07:00Joktan is Arabian.

There is a rice connection also, as a unit of rice was used as the weight measurement.<br /><br />Koro is another form of Horo or Horus, and gur is an ancient word for merchant. The Horites have been identified with references to Khar, a unit of measurement used in trade in the Egyptian inscriptions (See James Orr, The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, page 1421.) The word khar is related to gur. In Akkadian gurguri means metalworkers or copper smiths. In Oromo gurguru means to sell (gurgurtaa = sale, gurguraa = seller). In Somali gur- means to collect something and gurgure means one who Collects and Keeps Collecting. The Gurgure clan of the Dir refers to traders who collect wares and resale them. Among the Dir guri means stick, rod or firearm. <br /><br />The Persian and Urdu word Saudagar also refers to traders. Horite traders dispersed across the ancient world. The association of the roots gr (trader) and hr (Horite) is evident in India in place names such as Gurgaon Haryana.Alice C.

Bodies were buried and later found to be mummified as a result of the dry environment. <br /><br />However, the mummified form of a Nubian boy, dated to around 3000B.C., found at the Uan Muhuggiag rock shelter by a team of Italian archaeologists shows sophisticated technique. Many practices popularly considered "Egyptian" were in pre-dynastic times Nubian and Saharan. Tera-Neter was a ruler of the cities of the Annu in the Upper Nile region. Tera is also the name of Abraham's father and "neter" is ntr/ntjr (ancient Egyptian) and refers to god/gods.<br /><br />The part about Spirit Cave Man that I find interesting is the reed mat. The papyrus reed was a symbol of Annu royalty. Some mummies were wrapped in papyrus before the linen bindings were applied. Other mummies were placed in coffins constructed of reeds.Alice C.

Based on current research, it indeed is only a tentative connection between the mummy and the Ainu, but I haven't seen much consideration about the Ainu in America, so your blog post was of special interest. I don't think Spirit Cave Man was intentionally mummified when buried, but the conditions inside the cave preserved his body (he was wrapped in animal skin and partially covered with a woven reed mat; the lower part of the body decomposed). Sorry for my anonymity. I want to be sensitive to the relationship between my employer and tribal members. <br /><br />In any case, I very much appreciate your fascinating research on Abraham and his ancestors.

There is...Yes, I should have written oldest mummy.<br /><br />There isn't enough evidence to link this mummy to the Ainu. For one thing, not all Ainu performed mummification.<br /><br />My research involves the structure of Abraham's ruler-priest ancestors. I believe that the marriage, mating and ascendency structure that I have identified is a deep structure, but I have only traced it to about 4000 B.C. The structure involves sent-away younger sons, which appears to have characterized Sea'Kay's Ainu ancestors, according to his research.Alice C.

The inscription states, “A crew of Shishonq the king took shelter in this place of concealment.” <br /><br />Several kings of this name ruled Egypt and Libya between 1000 and 800 B.C. The Bible mentions a king named “Shishak” or “Shishonq” who invaded the Southern Kingdom of Judah during the reign of Rehoboam (Solomon's son). Shishak plundered the Temple in Jerusalem (I Kings 14:25-26).Alice C. Linsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069827354696169270noreply@blogger.com
