Ancient Egyptians, E-thi-o’-pi-ans, Nubians and Hebrews are the Same Ethnic People: NILE VALLEY: North Africa / Sahara / Horn of Africa and West Asia.. (2024)

Welcome back Patrick

I will explain why Eden is Not in Northern Africa Tunisia, As i ascertain, the Biblical EDEN‘s location in Eastern Africa...

GENETICS OF MODERN HUMANS

Though my ancestors are Indigenous to North Central Africa/Tunisia Over 55,000 years ago

NOTE: Haplgroup L2a being prevalent in North-Central Africa with an Origin Date of 55,150 B.P.

Would place L2a in the Upper Paleolithic era in North Africa beginning around 50,000 years before the present (ybp),
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Paleolithic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mousterian_Pluvial

Modern Genetics shows All of Modern Humans Dates back 188,000 ybp in East Africa.

The Mitchondrial Eve L0 and her descendants L1, L2, L3, etc. have an East African Origin

(excerpt from making the African mtDna landscape)

The main puzzle is the almost ubiquitous Haplogroup L2a,

Which we suggest may have become”Prevalent” somewhere in

North-Central Africa { Prehistoric Central North Africa }
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_Central_North_Africa

Example: Modern day Tunisia near Algeria and Libya..

Spreading both East and west along the Sahel belt ~20,000 years ago at

The peak of the Last glacial maximum (or somewhat earlier).…

We recognize, however, the Origins of these Haplogroups may be more Ancient.

(L2, for example, may be well >70,000 years old )

I belong to the Ethiopian–Nubian/Egyptian mtDna L2a1

Modern Genetic Migrations Continued also to fortify my Biblical River routes

My Biblical interpretation explains the Location of the East African Rivers, similar to mtDna Migrations.

GENETICS continued…

The Nile Valley and (East) Great Rift Valley Civilizations and mtDna Migration routes.…

The White Nile respectively spills from Lake Victoria Uganda, near Kenya

and flows North-bound meeting the Blue Nile spilling from

Lake Tana in E-thi-o’pi-a.

Subsequently, the Tekeze River flows from the Eritrea and

Ethiopian Border in a North Westerly fashion, Joining the two

Rivers at the Town of Atbarah (AtBarah River) Sudan/Nub-i-a

Which then Merges with the White Nile/BlueNile via Sudan-Khartoum/Nubia.

With full Northern Continuity flowing through Egypt and the Mediteranean Sea and the Levant..

This Nile Valley route has the same migration as certain Haplogroups Mtdna such as L2a1 and

L3* and M1 from “South to North”.

These particular haplogroups also share the migrations to and from West Asia’s middle east etc.. (Southern Arabia)

L2a1, L3* and M1 have notable frequencies in Nile Valley, Ethiopia, Egypt, as well as Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman.

(Excerpt from krings nile valley mtdna study on Hpal site 3592 L1, L2)

The Nile River Valley has been a corridor for human migrations between Egypt and Nilotic-sub-Saharan Africa,

Dr.Matthias Krings, analyzed mtDNA variationin 224 individuals from various locations along the river.

Sequences of the first hypervariable segment (HV1) ofthe mtDNA control region and a Polymorphic

HpaI site at position 3592 allowed us to designate eachmtDNA as being of “Northern” or “Southern” Affiliation.

Proportions of northern and southern mtDNA dif-fered significantly between Egypt, Nubia, and the south-ern Sudan.

GEOGRAPHY OF GARDEN OF EDEN:

GENESIS Chpt.2

Chapter 2 verses 8 –14

Verse 8. And the Lord planted a Garden Eastward in Eden: And there he put Man whom he had Formed

Verse 9. Out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every Tree that is Pleasant to the Sight, and Good for Food;

The Tree of life also in the midst of the Garden, and The Tree of know–ledge of Good and Evil.

BIBLICAL HYDROLOGY OF EDEN

( vs.10 And a River went out of “Eden” to the water garden and from thence it was parted. and became into four heads/parts.)

(vs. 11 the name of the first is Pi’son: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Hav’i-lah, where there is Gold.

“Havilah” (literally meaning “stretch of sand”) is the name of various lands and/or people mentioned in the Bible.

I believe that Havilah could be part of the modern day

{eastern “stretch of sand” sahel regions}…

Sudan-Nubia/ and Sahel (Eritrea) and (aksum/axumite regions)…

{In Ancient Hieroglyphics the word “Nub” means Gold< and the Word Nubia means Land of Gold}

From then on, the Romans referred to the area as the Nobatae.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11147a.htm

“Hav’i-lah where there is Gold” in Ancient Cush’s Land of Ham…

(vs.12 And the the Gold of that Land is Good: there is Bdellium and the Onyx Stone)..

{Bdellium is an “Aromatic” gum like Myrrh that is exuded from Trees}

(Used for incense, as well as to Embalm the dead in Ancient Egyptian times..),

{These “Particular Trees” are also “Native” to the Horn of Africa} (commiphora myrrha)

{Onyx was used/traded in Egypt as early as the 2nd Dynasty From

Nubia/Ethiopia to make bowls and other pottery items.}

(vs.13 And the name of the second River is Gi’hon: the same is it that compasseth the Whole Land of

E-thi-o’pi-a.)

{ I believe this Biblical Hydrology mimics the White-Nile/Pi’son and Blue-Nile/Gi’hon }

Vs.14 Hid’de-kel: that is it which goes toward the East of Assyria, and the 4th river is Eu-phra’tes,

(Note: Vs.14 describes the Mesopotamia location of the Tigris River and the Euphrates going out of Eden, Northerly

Then Easterly towards Assyria– Iraq/Mesopotamia)..

*************************************************************************************************************************************

LINGUISTICS

NOTE: The Afro-Asiatic languages, which include SEMITIC languages such as ARABIC and HEBREW, are believed by Scholars to have Originated in ETHIOPIA.

The Linguistic Reconstructions of Semitic vocabulary, related to Farming and Agriculture, have supported the theory that the

origin of Semitic languages is in the Near East (Diakonoff 1988; Militarev 2003).

On the other hand, the finding of All Major Branches of the Afro-Asiatic Language Tree in Ethiopia,

Including those that are not spoken elsewhere in the world, suggests that the HOMELAND of the Afro–Asiatic

Language family may have been somewhere close to Africa’s Southwestern

Ethiopia (Ehret 1995).

Since the land of Cush—the Son of Biblical Ham—is generally considered to be in the

Vicinity of the Ancient cities of Meroë and Napata, located in present-day Sudan.

Yet it should be stressed here that the split between the Cush*tic and

Semitic languages, branches of the Afro-Asiatic linguisticFamily, is Ancient,

Probably Predating the Holocene
(see, e.g., Militarev [2003]).

(The Holocene period is from 12,000 B.C)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

The State of Sheba mentioned in the Old Testament is believed to have been in Ethiopia , but is sometimes placed in Yemen.

The Axumite Kingdom is recorded once again as controlling part – if not all – of Yemen in the 6th century.

According to the Ethiopian legend, best represented in the Kebra Negest, the Queen of Sheba was tricked by
King Solomon into sleeping with him, Resulting in a child, named Ebn Melek (later Emperor Menelik I).

**The Tradition that the Biblical Queen of Sheba was a ruler of Ethiopia who visited

King Solomon in Jerusalem in Ancient Israel is Supported by the 1st century A.D. Jewish

Historian Flavius Josephus, who identified Solomon’s visitor as a
Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia.

NOTE: The SONS of HAM Biblical Geography

CUSH– Location is Ethiopia/Nubia .

MIZ’RA-IM– Location is Ta-Merry/Egypt

PUT-Location is present day Libya.

CANAAN-Location is present day Is-ra’-el

Also keep in mind that according to Genesis 10:6,

Mizraim/Egypt was the Younger brother of

Cush/Ethiopia–Nubia and Elder brother of Phut/Libya and Israel/Canaan,

Whose Families together made up

the Hamite branch of Noah’s Descendants.

All Bible Dictionaries agree that the name “Ethiopia” in our English Old Testaments is ‘Cush’ in the Hebrew.

This is so, not only in the verse before us, but in every instance throughout the Old Testament.

The Truth is that the Hebrews called Ethiopia “Cush” in their own tongue.

But what has not been so well recognized is that the Hebrews used this name ‘Cush’ of more than one place.

The name is derived from Cush the Son of Ham, the son of

Noah, in Genesis 10:6.

In addition the word “Ethiopia” is a Greek word meaning “Burnt Faces.”

The Hebrew word Cush, translated as “Ethiopia,” was used in Biblical Times to refer to

“The Entire Nile Valley South of Egypt, including Nubia/Sudan and Abyssinia/Ethiopia”

(Edward Ullendorff, Ethiopia and the Bible, p. 5, quoted in The Sign and the Seal, p. 450).

BOTANY:

In the Bible Genesis Chpt.2 Vs.12

(vs.12 And the the Gold of that Land is Good: there is Bdellium and the Onyx Stone).

Bdellium Trees are used to extract a reddish-brown resinous material, an dried sap of a number of trees,

But primarily from Commiphora Myrrha, otherwise known as Bdellium is

Native to Yemen, Somalia, the Eastern parts of E-thi-o’pi-a’s Horn of Africa.

Commiphora myrrha is a tree in the Burseraceae family.

Bdellium was an adulterant of the more “Costly” Myrrh

(Commiphora myrrha); guggul is still used as a binder in Perfumes.

In addition the word bedolach occurs twice in the Hebrew Bible.

They grow Exclusively in the Horn of Africa

(Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Northeast Kenya) and the Southern Arabian Peninsula

(Yemen, Oman) and Nowhere else in the World..

EGYPTIAN RECORDED ACCOUNTS:

We also have the First Documented Expedition to the land of Punt, from Ancient Egypt

Time period- (2487–2474 BC, 5th Dynasty) ~ or perhaps Earlier…

The earliest recorded Egyptian expedition to Punt was organized by Pharaoh Sahure Of the Fifth Dynasty (25th century BC) ~

African MYRRH, GOLD, IVORY and BLACKWOOD etc..

(the land of Punt is the Horn of Africa location)

In Addition we have the Palermo Stone which also corroborates some of these events and also mentions

Expeditions to the Sinai and to the Exotic land of Punt,

As well as to The Diorite quarries northwest of Abu Simbel in Nubia.

The Mainstream view is that Punt was located to the South–East of Egypt,

Most likely on the Eastern Coast of the Horn of Africa.

EUROPEAN HISTORIAN ACCOUNTS: by African-Asiatic Authors

1. Diodorus of Sicily writes:

The E-thi-o’pi-ans say that the Egyptians are One of their Colonies

Which was brought into Egypt by Osirus.

They even allege that this country was origanally under Water,

But that the Nile, Dragging much mud as it Flowed from Ethiopia

Had finally filled it in and Made it part of the Continent…

They add that from them as from their Authors and Ancestors the

Egyptians get most of their Laws.

2. Herodutus the Greek historian states: The Egyptians said that they believed the

Colchians to be Descended from the Army of Sesostris. My own conjectures were

Founded, first, on the Fact that they were Black–Skinned and have Woolly Hair..

3. The Greek Historian Strabo mentioned the Importance of MIGRATIONS in

HISTORY and believing that this Particular Migration has proceeded from

Egypt to Ethiopia, remarks: Egyptians settled Ethiopia and Colchis

ETHIOPIA and THE ORIGIN of CIVILIZATION by John G. Jackson

Excerpt from pg.3

In discussing the Origin of Civilization in the Near East, Professor Charles Seignobos in his

History of Ancient Civilization, notes that the first civilized inhabitants of the Nile (Pi’son-Gi’hon) and

Tigris–Euphrates (Hid’de-kel and Euphrates) Valleys,

Were a Dark–Skinned People with Short Hair and Prominent Lips: and that they are referred to by Scholars as

Cush*tes (Ethiopians), and Hamites (Khamites) by Others..
