The Afro-Asiatic Dominion

Alice C. Linsley﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

Archaeogenetics has shown conclusively that a vast Kushite dominion extended from the Niger-Benue Trough southwest of Lake Chad to India during the late Holocene Wet Period. I have termed this the “Afro-Asiatic Dominion.” It is older than the Vedic Age and much order than the Axis Age.

Kushite is a biblical term that refers to Nilotic and Proto-Saharan peoples, and in particular to the ruler-priest descendants of Noah by his grandson Kush (Gen. 10:6-11). Kush was the father of the Kushite ruler Nimrod who established his kingdom in the Tigris River Valley. This explains the linguistic connections between the Nile and Mesopotamia. The Akkadian script of Nimrod's kingdom is linguistically Afro-Sumerian.

The term "Kushite" should be taken as a general term since it refers to Nubians, Sudra, Nilotes, Egyptians, Ainu, Canaanites, and the Afro-Sumerian rulers of Mesopotamia. There is evidence to suggest that the Dravidian priest-scribes were linked to Kushite religion which reflects Proto-Saharan beliefs and practices.

Comparative Linguistics Tells the Story




















Who were the Afro-Asiatics?

The term "Afro-Asiatic" is a general classification of peoples who speak Afro-Asiatic languages. The majority of these languages is spoken in Africa. There are three main groups: Saharan Africans, Afro-Arabians, and Aramean Afro-Asiatics. The last two can be traced back to the region of Africa known as ancient Kush. There is much evidence for the Kushite migration out of Africa, including DNA studies. The Kushites were great kingdom builders who controlled the major water systems at a time when this part of the world was much wetter.
Afro-Asiatics ranged in skin tone.

The original context of the story of the creation of Adam is Nilotic. Adam is derived from the root DM which refers to blood (dam in Hebrew). The words edom and adam both mean red or reddish-brown. In Hausa the word for reddish-brown is odom. (Esau who married a Horite bride, Oholibamah, was designated edom.) This is a reference to the color of the soil from which Adam was made. Abraham's Kushite ancestors lived where the soil was reddish-brown. This is likely the red soil that washed down from the Ethiopian Highlands. These soils have a cambic B horizon. Chromic Cambisols have a strong brown or red colour.

Abraham's ancestors migrated from the Upper Nile Valley and the Horn of Africa to the coastal areas of Arabia. There they became established in separate territories which took their names from their rulers: Dedan, Sheba, Joktan. etc. Centuries later, these clans became separated into Afro-Arabians and Afro-Asiatics. Genesis says that this took place in the time of Peleg.

Angkor Wat has nothing to do with Hamitic or Semitic languages, and absolutely nothing to do with the Egyptian god Hor or Horus.

Angkor is the Khmer mispronunciation of "Nagar" the Sanskrit word for a city. It means "Temple City". In Thai, the word appears again as "Nakhon". The NE Thai city of Nakhon Rachasima is called "Angkor Rach" (kngly city) by the ethnic Khmer rural people nearby, because it was the site of a Khmer governor back in the 1300's, before the Thai conquered it.

This reminds me a bit of Arthur Custance trying to prove that the medieval Mongol ruler of North China, the Khitay, were connected to the sons of Heth (Hittites). I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, too, and that God doesn't lie, but let's not get fanciful in finding evidence for pet theories where there really isn't any.

By the way, I am a long-time student of the Chinese and Thai languages, and get paid for document translation from the former.

Horus appears on a stone relief at Anghor Wat. He has the form of a falcon and he flies over the sun image on Re's solar boat.

The falcon is the totem of Horus and falcon-shaped stone altars have been found across the Afro-Asiatic Dominion. Vedic tradition teaches that "he who desires heaven is to construct a fire-altar in the form of a falcon."

The descendants of Heth lived in Palestine/Syria. The term "Hittites" is an anachronism. They called themselves "Nes" which is likely Nuzi. They spread into Anatolia where they introduced iron work.

As fascinating as the Chinese (Mandarin? Cantonese? Fukien?)and Thai languages are, they do not help us in understanding the Afro-Asiatic peoples.

There is nothing fanciful about what I have written. It is thoroughly documented and the evidence is available from many disciplines for any interested party.

I suppose my point is that for Angkor Wat, you have the clear light of history for the period from ca. 1200 AD, when it was built, to 1435, when it was sacked by the Thai and abandoned--even if the story was recorded in Khmer and Thai.

Further, the inspiration for Angkor Wat and other pre-1435 Khmer monuments was Indian, not Middle Eastern/North African.

info below is from wikipedia!

L was found in( 51% of Syrians from Al-Raqqah), a northern Syrian city in which its previous inhabitants have been wiped out by the Mongols by and repopulated in recent times by localBedouin populations and Chechen war refugees.[4] In a small sample of Israeli Druze haplogroup L was found in 7 out of 20 (35%). However, studies done on bigger samples showed that L-M20 averages 5% in Israeli Druze,[5] 8% in Lebanese Druze,[6] and it was not found in a sample of 59Syrian Druze. Haplogroup L has been found in 2.0% (1/50)[7] to 5.25% (48/914)[8] of Lebanese. wikipedia

Syria 51.0% (33/65) of Syrians in Al-Raqqah,( 31.0% of Eastern Syrians) Mirvat El-Sibai et al. 2009[4] Iran 3.4% L1-M76 (4/117) and 2.6% L2-M317 (3/117)

for a total of 6.0% (7/117) haplogroup L in southern Iran

3.0% (1/33) L3-M357 in northern Iran Regueiro et al. 2006(( Turkey 57% in Afshar village,)) 12% (10/83) in Black Sea Region, 4.2% (1/523 L-M349 and 21/523 L-M11(xM27, M349)) Cinnioğlu et al. 2004, Gokcumen (2008)

The subclades of Haplogroup L with their defining mutation(s), according to the 2011 ISOGG tree:

L (M11, M20, M22, M61/Page43, M185)
L* Found only in Europe from Ireland to Eastern Europe[26]
L1 (M295) Found from Western Europe to South Asia [27]
L1a (M27, M76, P329) Found frequently in Indians, Sri Lankans, andBalochs, with a moderate distribution in other populations of Pakistan, southern Iran, and Arabia but also in European populations
L1b (M317) Found at low frequency in Central Asia, Southwest Asia, and Central Europe
L1b1 (M349) Principally found in Europe
L1b2 (M274)
L1c (M357) Found frequently among Burushos, Kalashas, Chechensand Pashtuns, with a moderate distribution among other populations inPakistan, Georgia, northern Iran, India, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia
L1c1 (PK3) Found frequently among Kalash

Mari (modern Tell Hariri, Syria) was an ancient( Sumerian and Amorite city), located 11 kilometers north-west of the modern town of Abu Kamal on the western bank of Euphrates river, some 120 km southeast of Deir ez-Zor, Syria. It is thought to have been inhabited since the 5th millennium BC, although it flourished with series of superimposed palaces that spans a thousand years, from 2900 BC until 1759 BC, when it was sacked by Hammurabi.[1]

Abu Kamal (Arabic: أبو كمال‎, Turkish: Ebu Kemal or Kışla) is a city in eastern Syria on theEuphrates River near the border with Iraq. The Euphrates divides Abu Kamal into two areas: Shamiyya (belonging to the Levant) and Jazira (belonging to Mesopotamia) Al-Jazira, a plains region consisting of northeastern Syria and northwestern Iraq, quite distinct from the Syrian Desertand lower-lying central Mesopotamia. Abu Kamal is an economically prosperous farming region with cattle-breeding, cereals, and cotton crops. It is also home to the historical site Dura-Europos and the ancient kingdom of Mari.

I have written a post providing a small measure of criticism for the theory you have outlined here. I realise that your post is quite old, but I came across it in researching some things online and found it lacking. In any case, I hope you'll find my criticisms enlightening, and if you're unimpressed, do let me know.

Alice Linsley said...

Al, I believe that I responded to your criticisms at your blog. If you are still following my research, this will clarify further:
