I am a Civil War buff; I enjoy doing genealogy; I enjoy digging fossils and arrowheads; I like using my grandfather's shaving mug. All of these are past brought forward and embedded in the present and it gives a sweetness to life. I hope God has a means of embedding history in eternity...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-22563324552201103782011-06-27T17:59:16.095-07:002011-06-27T17:59:16.095-07:00Today our knowledge of many of the castes and rela...Today our knowledge of many of the castes and related clans listed in Genesis 10 has brought this material into history. <br /><br />Once the misconception that Gen. 10is a “Table of Nations” is set aside, we can explore the relationship of these peoples and reconstruct the two and three-clan confederations based on what is known about the Proto-Saharan languages spoken by Abraham's ancestors.<br /> http://biblicalanthropology.blogspot.com/2011/06/peoples-of-canaan.html<br /><br />Best wishes to you and thanks for the thoughtful comment.Alice C.
