ASome obvious breadcrumbs:It is the oldest inhabited Continent.Africa has the largest, and most varied species of animals, fowl and fish on the face of the earth And is the most popular destination for Safaris to date. Many people do not relize Cush's Kingdom (Ethiopia) was just that and spread as far as Arabia, over to the west coast of Africa, and to the border of Egypt It was once huge.

Thank you so much for the offer. Another thing she has been very interested in is fiber arts throughout history. We all do spinning and she also some weaving, but we primarily do this, not so much as an art and not at all for producing items for sale, but for sharing historical skills, tools, artifacts and such. We go to museums and cultural events and talk to people, as well as showing them these skills. Is there any field of anthropology where those sorts of skills and experience could be put to good use? She's been doing it for about 14 years now!Matushka Elizabethhttp://www.stgeorgepantry.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-48818187292420780142010-04-30T04:26:12.569-07:002010-04-30T04:26:12.569-07:00Alice, you never cease to amaze me.

Here you are, giving and receiving Eastern Orthodox Easter greetings in Spanish, advising concerning study paths that could lead to a career in Biblical anthropology, and using modern scholarly methods simultaneously to point out the errors of the fundamentalists and to assert the historicity of the Book of Genesis!

The closest programs are in Near Eastern Studies, but those are not primarily using anthropology. Perhaps she can find a program that would allow her to select this specialty and then she can break new ground. I've written about this pioneering work here:<br />http://openanthcoop.ning.com/forum/topics/what-is-biblical-anthropology<br /><br />I'd be glad to speak to her about this.

We need young people to go into this field. For too long Christians have been defensive about the veracity of the Bible. It is time that we say it is true and the facts support the biblical record. We must investigate the facts, not accept interpretations of them. In anthropology, the facts are largely interpreted by secularists who ignore or are ignorant of how anthropological research verifies the biblical record. Ironically, the same can be said for most Christians.Alice C.

This and your related pieces on Noah's Ark are refreshing. So many times, these evangelical 'findings' are loaded with more things than science!

I wouldn't make a big deal about this except that having completed the geneological study, it is evident from the Bible that Abraham's ancestors came out of Africa. Noah is one of those ancestors. <br /><br />When the bulk of the biblical data goes one direction and translations of obscure words goes the other, we should think twice. Armenia may be har-meni or har-menu (har meaning mount) and ararat is an Arabic meaning vehemence, which fits the context of the flood story as judgement.Alice C.
