Yeah, that's what I said.

No, you were talking about Afghans and Pakistanis and wondering if the modern-day Jews originated there because of the empires and invasions of the era, I'm saying you do realize the people from those areas GOT conquered, they weren't the ones doing the invading and moving around.

In what region did the Assyrian

The Assyrian empire began in the northern Mesopotamia region, the Persian empire began on the Iranian plateau.

>Did the Persian empire sprout

No, the Persian empire invaded and conquered the Babylonian empire.

Doing what? You are saying the indigenous population of the Levant was African, I'm asking where are you getting this from? Or are you just posing it as a possibility?

How many black arabs are in the areas they sampled though? I know about the black populations near Basra in Iraq and Mecca in Saudi Arabia, but how many are in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria? I remember there was a black Palestinian in the Olympics, but over the past 5 years I've seen tons of palestinians on the news and that's the only black Palestinian I've seen. I've seen tons of Lebanese people too, never saw a black one. So I don't know how many there are to sample in these areas anyway.

Furthermore, are you assuming the black populations there are indigenous? (see below)

No, I don't see what you're saying... the study was to see how much intermixing there was between European Jews and the surrounding European populations they lived among, not Jews and olive-toned people of the Levant today.

Occam's razor - you are making an assumption based on nothing, therefore it has no place in a scientific study.

>Look at where the lemba’s ended up. But the

All the study says is that the Lemba group was located halfway between the Jewish cluster and sub-Saharan African cluster. So by that logic the study doesn't consider them indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa either.

>likely the same attitude they took in relation to other black

Zewari's post mentions that most of the black population in Mecca traces back to West Africa, and that the Blacks in Basra trace back to East African slaves.... so they're not indigenous to the area.

And the point I was making is that this false identity was foisted upon them by their conquerers; the conquerers did not adopt false identities for themselves. Why would they?

Who? The Learned Elders of the Sons of Zion?

Not really. There is no evidence of mass migrations from other regions of those empires into the Levant.

I can't tell the difference between a person from Iceland and Finland either, that don't mean they're the same people.

>It’s not ridiculous and it’s not just a circle. It’s

No, it's just a circle. And I repeat; IT'S A SLIDING SCALE. The southern Europeans are closer to the Mid-east populations than the northern Europeans, but the European groups still cluster together without other populations in between them, and you don't need a circle to see that. Is that an illusion too?

>This I took from the above link starting at the second
>sentence. Could that explain it?

That explains that there are populations in Saudi Arabia that have links to other places, it doesn't suggest that the Arabs that claim descent from the original Arab tribes migrated from those areas.

You do realize that there is no historical or archaeological evidence for the Exodus, right?

The Assyrians were from Northern Iraq and Syria, not Asia Minor.

But there's no record or evidence of the Assyrians doing this in Judah as far as I know.

OK, first of all you said "All the chart proves is once in this area the people tent to breed amongst themselves for thousands of years. No more no less." What I said was if that was the case then why weren't the Askenazi closer to northern Europeans, meaning they didn't intermix with the Northern Europeans very much (at least on the paternal side).

As for the Greeks, the majority of Greece was never conquered by the Persians. The Macedonians conquering Persia doesn't matter here because it was mostly Greek and Macedonian male soldiers going into Asia Minor & Persia, so if you are suggesting the Jews originate in Asia Minor or Persia that's irrelevant to this study because it wasn't Persian/Asia Minor males going into Greece, so there wouldn't be an inflow of male Y-chromosomes from Persia/Asia Minor into Greece.

First off, bronze is darker than brass. Second off, how burnt was the brass? Just singed? seared? charred? scorched? Third, yeah Jewish afro - and if Gene Wilder has the most extreme Jewfro you've seen, you must not have seen many. Fourth, isn't it lamb's wool? Isn't lamb's wool softer than sheep's wool?

So water beads on wool? So I can walk out in the rain in a wool sweater and it won't get soaked, the water will just bead up on the wool?

LOL - you're missing my point: it's merely an anecdotal description, and a second-hand one at that... it's pretty meaningless to try to use as empirical evidence to prove what he actually looked like.

>Again you disappoint.

As do you. You've shown that your allowing your prejudice to guide your opinion on the matter.
