The most ...Ethiopia was the first Christian nation. The most ancient Christian communities there venerate the Tabot, an ark of the covenant. Some scholars believe the practice represents backflow from Judean culture. They link the word "tabot" to the Aramaic word tebuta and to the Hebrew word tebah. I believe the practice originated among the Nilotic peoples and is linked to Kushite worship practices.<br /><br />Ethiopia is also were the oldest human fossils have been found. Ardipithecus ramidus bones of 35 individuals were found in a stretch of the Awash River, near the village of Aramis in Ethiopia. "Ardi" walked upright and had human dentition. It took 17 years for scientists to analyze these remains. Paleoanthropologist Tim White led the University of California at Berkeley research team. The bulk of the physical evidence to date indicates that humans appeared as fully human and unheralded by sub-human ancestors around 3.7 million years ago.<br />Alice C.

I don't know how much you know about native Alaskans and Tlingit culture, or the conversion experiences in the Aleutians, but much of what you say about Africa would apply to the native cultures (and there are several variations) in Alaska, and helps explain why they converted to the Orthodox Faith. There is a fascinating book Memory Eternal: Tlingit Culture and Russian Orthodox Christianity Through Two Centuries by Sergei Kan which discusses many of these issues. For example, Tlingit natives (and probably the rest of Alaskan natives) revere their ancestors, and as the title of the <BR/>book would indicate, they saved all those memories through oral <BR/>histories, and deeply appreciated Orthodox remembrance of the dead <BR/>through ceremony and prayers.<BR/><BR/>One interesting cultural difference though: The Tlingit people used to burn the bodies of the dead, mainly because it was a cold climate, and they worried that the deceased would get cold. That's why they insisted on cremation. Orthodox priests were rather horrified by these "barbaric" practices and insisted that they give up these practices. They would agree to do so, bury their dead, and later on sneak out, dig them up and cremate them." <BR/><BR/>Tribal peoples have many "culture traits" that in common. These incude: concern about blood, proper burial, life-cycle ceremonies, close observation of patterns in nature and a belief that "as in the heavens, so on earth."<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Nancy!Alice C.
