That is so sad how the westner world try to separet ancient Egypt from the Ethiopians and Nubians. The ancient Egypt were so close with Ethiopians and Nubians. In my believe they came from the same background. Even sometimes i don`t agree with you guys, but i have been learning a lot from you guys. I mean from ausar, rasol, thoughts, supercar and couple more. What is the meaning of the Lion sign? Even the Ethiopians have that a lot.

Unfortunately, you fall into that trap, when you misdirect the origins of indigenous East Africans to elsewhere. That East Africa is diverse, virtually anyone with a clear head can see that. Various back migrations into the continent is acknowledged, but to suggest that these groups have somehow replaced existing populations in the region, is simply absurd, to put it politely.

I wasn't referring to the website. I was talking about the idea of East Africans being supposedly descendants of Arabians. When someone makes a comment like that, that person is no better than those folks, who according to you, try to separate the said Africans. The majority of East Africans are indigenous to the extant region, and don't trace their roots elsewhere, including the Arabian peninsula. Some groups may have migrated back to the Horn of Africa, but they are certainly among the 'minority' within that landscape. I hope my point is now clarified.

My point is all east african are not indigenous, you guys talking about all, i am not saying all east african, i was talking about Eritrea and there are groups and don`t fit this cretaria, that is why afro-Asiatic, because eritrea is a mix population. I ask you this did they make a DNA on each groups (person) of Eritrea?

The Rashida Arabs are not indigneous, the Oromo most certainly are indigenous.

How many times i have to say this, i don`t know about Oromo. Oromos live in Ethiopia. I just want to know, about the Oromo in ancient Egypt time and more about this topic.

Oromo are Cushic speakers just like Somalis and other people from the Horn of Africa. The Oromoila are mostly likely the Punite people that were shown in Maatakare[Hathshepsut] depictions at Deir El Medina.

Linguistics reveals that Semitic is just an
Afrasan language and proto-Afrasan dates to
origins of 12KYA somewhere in the vicinity
of the border between present day Sudan and
Ethiopia or perhaps the Kordofanian area.
Semitic along with Tamazight are thought to
be the last families to diverge from the
parent stock hardly allowing either to be
older than Kushitic or Egyptian.

The Semitic speakers worked their way up
from the Bab-el-Mandeb crossing over from
the Horn to the Arabian peninsula and from
there moved northward ending their trek at
the foot of the mountains of Turkey. If
anything, Caucasic, Altaic, and Indo-European
speakers moving southbound across the
Caucasus met and mingled with the Semitic
speakers giving then a much lighter color
than their southern ancestors had and still
have today.

The post Islamic "Arab" immigrants to north east Africa are largely
little more than modified indigenous Africans regardless of the physical
and cultural accutrements they picked up while on the Arabia peninsula
and in the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.

Unfortunately this anthropological, linguistic and even geological reality
-- that the region is just a break away tectonic plate of Afica --
does little to relieve the hate and prejudice many Semitic and
Tamazight speakers have for their other Afrasan relatives and the rest
of the continental Africans and their diaspora offspring.

Petrie thought the 12th dynasty was founded by Galla. I don't know if
he means the Oromo or if he means the Shangalla.

"The Galla Penetration. It has long ago been remarked that the black sphinxes, later appropriated by the Hyksos, approximated to the Galla type of Abyssinia."

"This starts an enquiry how the Galla connection could thus appear on monuments. In the clearance and planning of the rock tombs at Qau, Antaeopolis, the peculiar plan of those tombs, with great halls and small chambers annexed, was observed to be closely parallel to that of later Nubian temples. In both tomb and temple the chief work is in the solid rock, while the forecourt is of masonry constructed in front of it. Another peculiarity was the hammer-work excavation of one tomb, which had evidently been done with stone balls, as in the Aswan granite working, and this implies a southern connection."

"Ancestry of Senusert. In the tomb of prince Uah-ka B at Qau, in an inner chamber, is painted a scene of the son of Uah-ka, named Senusert; there is no cartouche. As the Uah-ka family were of about the 4th or 5th dynasty (the name being unknown either in the 11th of the 12th dynasty), this implies that the 12th dynasty Senusert family descended from the Uah-ka family. Here we have, then, a link between the Galla type on the sphinxes and the 12th dynasty. The separate identification of these sphinxes follows further on. The 12th dynasty was undoubtedly descended from Amenemhat, the great vizier of the 11th dynasty. It seems, then, that he married the heiress of the Uah-ka family, as stated in the pseudo-prophecy, "A king shall come from the south whose name is Ameny, son of a Nubian woman." She called her son by the family name Senusert, and he was the founder of the 12th dynasty, according to Manetho. Waka is the god of the Gallas."

The kings of Kush were known to have a certain claim on Kmt's throne. Zanakht of the
3rd dynasty has strong Nhsw facial features. His line apparently died out. The 9th and
10th dynasty Uahka family of Thebes were buried in tombs of type unknown in Kmt but
of design in Kush. The Uahka family has been traced back to the 6th dynasty builders
of the temples at Qua near Abydos. Senusret is a name from the Uahka family, one of
whose members took on the name Amenemhet to honor Amen the major deity of
Thebes. This family established the 12th dynasty. Comparison of skull measurements
reveals an exceedingly close relationship between the Uahka family and the modern
Shangalla (non-Abyssinian) type of Ethiopian bordering Sudan.

Amenemhet I warred against Wawat pushing south far enough to establish a center of
trade in Kerma at the 3rd catarct. Senusret I mentions the Akherkin, Kas, Khesaa, Shat,
and Shemyk among the peoples of Wawat that he subdued. Senwosret III annexed
Wawat up to the 2nd cataract as the southern border of Kmt.

Because of their propensities for independence the Senwosrets found it necessary to
wage war against Wawat. On their defeat a string of fortresses were built. These were at
Buhen, Kor, Dorginarti, Mirgissa, Dabenarti, Askut, Shalfak, Uronarti, Kumma, and Semna.

I agree that a best hypothesis on the lineage of Asiatic semitic peoples is Africans from the south mixing with Eurasian elements from the North.

This is one reason why it is so useless to talk of pure ethnic Arab or Jew for that matter. Asiatic semitic is the 'true' Afro-Asiatic concept.

Thought Writes:

I agree, although I would add that the northern Levant was long the abode of Eurasians prior to the LGM. After the LGM haplogroup J bearing Eurasians (Kebaran culture) pushed into the southern Levant during the early Holocene. From the Nile Mushabian, E3b carrying Africans seem to have pushed north as far as Syria and Jordan. These two groups merged to form the Natufian.
