You see the whole Idea of this is If Egypt is proven to be a black Civilization then it would mean That 5000 Years ago Black People actually were cradle to alot of things that was invented, People don;t relaise that In egypt itself The people in the south calls The northerners Forigners, They don't even Accept them as Egyptians as in a sense of Real egyptians.

Yeah, The thing is they Hardly convert anyone whether they are catholics,orthodox or Muslims. so sometimes they resort to childish ways and its abit worrying when you consider Eritreans In general are abit conservative No matter what religion they are. so it doesn't sit well with many people.

I didn't know that, I thought he was full swiss.

London? how was it?

You would Love south of egypt, apart from Those African american Groups who actually Think they are decendents of Pharohs and Bowing to every statue There But the local and the History Is very good.

you would be When you see the large Pharohs temples and you would Bet your Life they were African and black, If you do make sure you Visit Hatchpsut Temple you would be Amazed of how proud she was of her African Identity however the tour Guides wouldn't be very happy to translate alot of the Things there for you because alot of it is linking them to being African and black, If you get a Nubian Brother or a beja Tour Guide he/she would even take you into Area's Not allowed For Vistors to show you How black and african were they.lol Visit Djoser Pyramid also I swear he looks 100% nigerian i always thought the first 6 Dynasty of Egypt Might have been Related to Today Nigerians/west africans. You would Love it.

lol Visit Djoser Pyramid also I swear he looks 100% nigerian i always thought the first 6 Dynasty of Egypt Might have been Related to Today Nigerians/west africans.

That is what i am researching Now... Especially Seth. seth was a noble man In ancient times and Many followed Him, he resided in The land of canaanite, Now some beja clans claimed to have come from Cannan, According to Early Greek Explorers The canaanite and ancient Egyptians shared the same Langauge/looks and Culture. Beja and ancient Egyptian today is 70% The same, im not talking about words im talking about sentences, If you read ancient Egyptian scripts a beja would understand It. Now there is something here as Seth Lived in canaan and some of the beja followed Him maybe later elevated Him to god status, Ta-seti which means land of seth directly But it means Land of the bow because Beja or setians were known for their archery Skills. the New kingdom Dynasty who came from Ta seti Introduced seth an the main god and named one of its army Brigade seth. Beja Language and ancient canaanite is almost identical and canaan Means Nomads lol You can't get more Nomdic Than the beja people.

About Eritrean Writing Its basically Ancient Egyptian with out the Leg/Head etc. Its very close, It seems that it was Adopted By Eritreans Through a middle Source, Either meroetic Through Ta seti or the more Likely Himyarite Through canaanite. The writing has been recorded In eritrea for 4000 Years, so we know the source and few possible Channels but Once we start digging for the pre-axumite artifacts we should come to a conclusion.

Check out How close some of the Letters are.

"you first pronounced a word and utilized hieroglyphic letters to spell it out"

http://hieroglyphalphabet.com/

"Now that the hieroglyphic language has been formally matched to Amarigna and Tigrigna, of today's Ethiopia and Eritrea, it is clear to see that the hieroglyphic alphabet was meant to represent pronunciation. And by understanding the pronunciation sounds of the Amarigna and Tigrigna languages represented below, it is finally possible to properly speak and read the languages of the Amara and Akele founders of ancient Gebts (the ancient name of Egypt).
. . . .the hieroglyphic alphabet represents pronunciation of sounds in both Amarigna and Tigrigna"

My Kunama Is really Bad But Kunama Means from what i Understand "Coming from Different Directions" as in Ka Means North i think, when the Kunama came To Eritrea Thousands of Years ago they Came in waves and from different Direction from the Nile Valley and entered Eritrea from Different Area's and Gathered In Eritrea again. Every Tribal Name In Eritrea apart From Blin means Nomads/wonderers In their Native Language. That is why The camel In Eritran Emblem to reflect however/whenever you came To Eritrea This is your Home Now.

It's Just the pressure of Neighbouring Tribes, If you look at History Many People around the world converted to abrhamic Religions for convienent or pressure Rather than 100% conviction from the khazarians Turks In asia to many african Tribes, Kunama Location weren't The best at times, surrounded By Beja/Tigre and Nara who by then fully converted to Islam The kunama who were Mostly Farmers Knew Title Change would give them Breathing space, and The kunama who Converted were/are those who are Bordering The other Tribes, 100-200 Years ago wasn't like today, Tribal Aggression was Open and if your Neigbouring Tribes were not Muslim or Christian you were a target for takeover/Raids Because it was allowed under the pretext of epanding the religion Etc. Nowadays is different Africa is more calmed especailly when it comes to Religion conversion, Yes you have conversions But its done with other means like Preaching or Engaging with people to bring into Faith. Not Raiding the whole Tribe and forcing Anymore. In Eritrea Conversion Hardly Happens Now except for maybe 2 or 3 every Year which is low approaching people to preach is a taboo
and many evangelists and Pentecostal has been Kicked out of the country Banning Most of them, The reason is While Trying to convert 10 or even 100 the methods they use could end up Creating a rwanda style massacre there because they tend to cross the Line Many times with their conversion methods, example is Targeting Little Kids as young as 9 Years Old coming back from school and trying to Hand them Crosses and Bibles, what happens when they get Home and a mob of 1000 people come out with their Horses and Swords waiting for these Preachers, Not a Good sight and the governemnt Is sick and tired of bailing them out so they decided enough is enough and Kicked them out for disturbing the harmony and respect that exist in the country, I don't have a problem with preaching the religion However Not kids all kids wants to do is play and have fun wait for them to grow up.

Yes He was, I should've Known it too It's easy To Pick Them Nilotic People, If you press the Right button they would Pop like popcorns.lol

Who is half south african?

lool English Fans would turn from "Against Racism" activists to "Neo-Nazi's" after a beer session at the pub.

you would Love it, especially for a Nigerian you would Relate to many things, Reading about lagos always remind me of cairo the hussle and Bussle of everyday Life, Plus i found That Nigerians always spot the egyptain Trickery before the Egyptian has even thought about it, lol But sight seeings and Holidaying is very good There.

Correct. You got it Right.

Fulani People have something which is very good, They are loyal to the land where they reside no matter where they are, That quality Earns them respect, n In Eritrea there is a poverb that Eritrea Chooses you Not the other way around.

Here is all the Info of Kunama Traditional Belief.

To tell you the truth I think the group In eritrea are more Fulani than Hausa But since The hausa are Linked with the fulani In west africa Many people presume its the same in east africa.

By far The fulani are more Known, Infact Any eastern African apart from sudanese who hasn't been on the net would know Fulani but would have No Idea what is hausa

In saudia arabia and the Gulf Countries all black citizens are Known as the Unofficial Title "Fulani", when you see the majority of the saudia arabia National team who has western african Features they are all Known as Fulani Regardless of their background. Fulani would be the most recognised west african Tribe In arab country especially In the gulf states.

He was Crazy, Funny Crazy though he Loved arab Girls, I met Him when i went to Egypt for a visit Last time in my hotel, he was by himself with no arabic so i let him tag along with me and my crew, He was Chasing Egyptian Girls All Day everyday.[b]lol Didn't had much Luck at the start Till i gave him few tips and he was Running away from them after that,[/b]lol He wanted to Buy an ak47 for self protection on the second day there. lol He fell In love with this Egyptain Girl there and decided to stay Longer, I had to Fly back but Had an egyptain Friend There to check up on him till he left since Egypt could be Nasty for people who don't have No one there, He left few weeks after Me from what my egyptian Friend told me, But Lost contact with him since then.

These people are a handful, But also an asset For Nigeria, The darfur Rebels are Mostly made from them, and the funny thing is the sudanese army is too.loool They are Like the agressive Version of Fulani's If they need to be, I have met a few and they Like plotting what ever it is, either plotting to get a bargain on groceries or world domination.lol They would test you to check your nerve, They have a mix Feeling about Eritreans,Eritreans Helped Darfurian Rebels and established a H.Q for them In Eritrea's Capital But know of Eritrean Blood Link with the beja people of east sudan who are not a fan of each other.

Zidane Is a legend.

I don't see much from what i observed, But Since some East africans and Nigerian can Get along with each other the funny place to be is at a place watching an african Cup game between Nigeria and a north african Team, I relaised Egyptian and Nigerian Are cool with each other and compliment and respect each other, Morrocan and algerians sook if they lose but would congratualte Nigerians sitting down after the game, Tunisian on the other hand and Nigerians from the last time I watched was going to turn into a rwanda, Racism/trash talk is the norm between These two offcourse Both don't understand But i understand Arabic and a nigerian Person would tell me what the rest are saying, and since some East africans Understand Arabic and watching the game as neutral by half time They are cheering for Nigeria and fed up with the tunisians, By the end of it a somali Guy who was Just sitting trying to enjoy the game ended Throwing a water pipe into a tunisian with bad Mouth and burned His arm, the tunisian said " Lets beat these black Apes" and the somali Understood it.lol It only take One somali to understand and the rest of the somali Got the message the other tunisians had to kick Their friend out and apologise looool I don't know if you heard But somali are Known among East Africans to have a short Fuse and wouldn't let anything like this pass.lol

Egyptians Like Exotic sounding Names, From My experience anything with Multiple letter words and ending with "o" or "a" is catchy Phrase for Egyptians, The reason in my Opinion is because Its just Unlike arabic, words They like alot is Burkina Faaso, Droogba , Etooo, Akocha etc.

The reason i ask is because I remember a kanuri Nigerian who was hot headed lol and i thought maybe the whole ethnic group are hot tempered. The kanuri and Nara/Kunama are both Nilo-saharan they could easily be from the same parent tribe before they split in the nile valley. I am not sure about kanuri In eritrea is there is they might have integrated with the nara.

Oh god you have Baggara In nigeria ? looool Be careful of them. They are a handful.

I have many: Abede Pele, Okocha, Aboutrika from Egypt and a nigerian player long ago his name is emmanuel amunike (not sure of spelling) he used to play for my favourite team when i lived in egypt and used to go and see him and play when i was a kid.

Its from experience that is why i asked.

I have Heard of it, A guy In egypt who went to my school was from that Ethnic group and few months later every Egyptian Kid in the school were calling him Isoko instead of his Real name, the egyptains liked The name alot more even the teachers were calling him that, so i have heard of the Name but don't know much about it. some egyptains in the school would even ask nigerians who were hausa/Fulani if they were Isoko and they would get Irritated lol They would say what's with the egyptains in this school and isoko. they would pronounce it Isoookooo .lol

I haven't Heard of Lingala or Pidgin.

The Eritrean Army is the Most Experience Army In Africa, 40 Years of experience, The mentality of Eritrean Army Is courageous and Disturbing on the same time, When they allocate Numbers for the army they Think we can afford to Lose 400,000 Soldiers Not fight with 400,000 Soldiers, They don't believe In surrounding a town and wait for the white flag rather they would estimate they would lose x amount of men to take it and if its ok they will take it In few Hours, Just like what happened In south sudan with the eritrean army. In 1991 They occupied The capital Of ethiopia with 30,000 Soldiers and It took them two days to enter the capital from their Front line 1000's of km's away. Ethiopian army was the strongest In africa in the 1980's with 1 million soldiers and heavily equipped with soviet hardware.

They have fought for Eritrea’s Liberation, But Many presumed they were Nara or Tigre at that time, They were actually one of the first to pick Up the guns with The tigre and nara/Kunama to start the armed struggle. Their Main City where they Live was actually the Head quarters of the Eritrean Liberation Front for 20 Years so It’s called Barentu. So they did more of their Share of slaughtering Ethiopian Soldiers and for Eritrea’s Liberation No Eritrean Would Dare Deny this.

The kunama had the concept of one God for as long as their existence, That is at least 4000-5000 Years.

Jenwitemi: It is possible that exaltations might do that, but a very lofty political status is necessary to come close to attaining such godly status. Stalin was regarded as god by his supporters even till today. About the Beckham thing, it is possible that he is being hero-worshipped in Japan, but that will never be the same thing as deification. He needs a very lofty political status to go with his celebrity status.
There is also another football player  who goes by the name of Robbie Fowler. His nickname is. . . GOD.  What about Messi?

Tigrigna: It has almost 200 Letters

Its more of a unifying Language In eritrea Taken abit from other langauges

It is also A Language Proven to be made In africa.

Tigre Or Xasa: The Father of the Tigrigna Languages also Known as Geez, It is among the oldest Semitic Language if not the oldest, Very closely Related to the ancient Chaldean/Akkadian Language in mespotomia

Very smooth Language even when someone is insulting someone it sounds like he is saying poetic verses.

Saho: No bluff about them In war they would Fight for days with No sleep, The poverb In Eritrea is "God is with us Because he Made the Saho People Eritreans". Lol

Nara: It has similarity with other Nilotic Languages across Africa but still has alot of difference. The hausa/Fulani In Eritrea mostly Live among the Nara people.

Kunama: A nilotic Language Related to Nara as well

while Majority of Kunama are Today Muslims it was Easier for them to become Muslims Because theY WORSHIPPED one god "Anaa"

Hausa and Fulani In sudan Is a serious Number, In the Millions. comparing it To Eritrea is really no comparison. From what I heard the one's In Eritrea stayed Because they couldn't afford the journey Back after mecca and decided to stay and Trade and save money but ended up having kids/more kids and their kids didn't want to leave.there is alot of Hausa/Fulani in saudia arabia for the same Reason too they couldn't go back for financial Reasons. They have been In saudi for 100-200-300 Years even some Earlier. I doubt Religious Climate had anything to do with it because 100 Years ago In Eritrea Muslims were a great Minority Maybe 10-20%, most of today Muslim Tribes were Non muslims, The nara were animist and Kunama were mostly animist and the largest Tirbe In eritrea, today the Kunama are only 2% funny how 100 Years changes a demographic of a country. Eritrea is always has been a welcoming Land to anyone Regardless of religion or Background.

The Hausa/Fulani In Eritrea has proven their allegiance to the land and their fellow Eritrean Tribes, They Bled for the land and were the first to join The Eritrean Liberation Movement to free Eritrea from Ethiopia, The rule In Eritrea is you bleed for the land and the Land shall Belong to you. Vey Low Profile people Though, The are very proud Eritreans and even when they go to other countries They make sure they are known as Eritreans First, They have adopted the mentality of other Eritreans which is You are Eritreans First because if all your tribe has vanished and you are the the only one left the rest of Eritreans will help you re-Build Your Tribe again and won't let it die.

Correct, Love is love no matter where you are. The Drummers/Band were Hausa/Fulani..The singer Is Nara/Kunama and the Girl is Blin a kushtic Tribe. The audience were from Every corner of Eritrea + Few white People as well.

I do, I love Sahel Music The texture and History Is amazing, Especially when the Kirar/3 string Guitar is involved it just adds more melody and theme to the song. The music of Eritrean Folklore is similar to sahel Music across africa. Most of the music In eritrea is like this at least the Folklore or classic.

Jenwitemi:
Not much difference other than hero worshiping isn't tied with any religion. It happens mostly on individual basis and done voluntarily. But the internal effects on the individuals doing the worshiping on both cases is still the same.

Jenwitemi:
They do great and fantastic things in the eyes of primitive or simple people, something that they(the primitives) cannot do by themselves. These beings, thus, become very central in their lives so they worship them. It is not difficult to turn somebody into a God. It just signifies the pinnacle of reverence of a particular being(whatever that being may be) by another being of simplicity.

buzugee:
this is the foundation of all those gods you mentioned. what qualifies an entity as god ? empty people looking to fill the holes in their heart with anything

Sweetnecta:
@emofine; Tell me what disqualify Allah in your view from you revering Him?

What makes any entity worthy of reverence or not in your mind? Please use Allah to illustrate your decision[s].

You pronounce it as Ta-Haa-sa The x is a False X.

No There is a region called Puntland In Somalia Which Might Have Extended till There But The capital and The port and Major towns were all In today's Central Region Of eritrea, That Region Houses The second Largest Ancient Artifacts In all africa After Egypt. The capital Name was Qo-Hoi-To and the port Name was Adu-La.

The 18th, 19th and 20th Dynasty are Known to be Closely Linked with Eritreans Even in egypt i was taught by Arab Teachers That the New kingdom Pharohs were From where Eritrea is Today, Pharohs Like Nefertari,Hatchepsut,akhnetan etc spoke a mother tongue spoken In Eritrea In ancient Times to communicate with her Medjay's and Advisors For Fear The Hyksos People who Remained There after Their Defeat of the 17th Dynasty wouldn't Be able to know State Secrets, In 1998 The Egyptian Goverment In a rare Move Added the Bisharin Beja of south East Egypt as direct Desendents of The New Kingdom Egyptians (18th,19th,20th Dynasty), Few years ago a dna test on a 19th Dynasty Pharoh Returned with 90% Identical Dna with An Eritreans Tribe which is The Bani-Amer Tigre or to the ancient Egyptians Ta-Xasa, The funny part is the tomb of that pharoh also said that their ancestorial land is where Eritrea/East sudan Is situated and according to their Book of Dead They classified People who lived On the red sea as their Kins and the only other Group who would pass Into the Afterlife along with them.

Ancient Egypt was a melting Pot and every Race probarly lived/Ruled or went pass through Egypt

they brought their gods to be added with the other Gods, The New Kingdom Pharohs Brought a god who was only worshipped In Ta seti at that Time (Seth) and even Dedicated Everything for him he was elevated to the main God as amun and horus were demoted Many Ancient Egyprtains were not happy, A whole Army battalion was named Seth as well. But the Biggest Proof is one of the Pharohs of the 19th Dynasty Name Was Sipta Which doesn't Mean anything In ancient Egyptains, But means alot to Eritreans and East Sudanese Because Eritreans and East Sudanese Through Kush are descendents Through Sabta/sipta.

Correct, Numbering About 30,000 Today, they stayed 100-200 Years ago after going to mecca and for different Reason Decided to stay when they passed through.

They are Very Very Low key though most Eritreans Don't know about them as they have melted Into an Area Where The Nilotic Tribe Of Nara Live, The Tigre and The Beja so They are Among These Three Groups and because They speak up to 5 or 6 Languages Arabic/Tigre/Tigrigna/Beja/Nara and sometimes English or kunama Many Eritreans Just presume They are Nara/Tigre or Beja. However Recently a light was shed and the goverment is looking at the options of adding them as a seperate Group, However I am not quite sure They have assembled Enough to be counted as a seperate group as many of them consider to be part of the Tigre or Nara Group Today, But Yeah i would Like to have Fulani as a language In Eritrea is very close to Nara By the way.

Here is a clip, The singer Is Kunama/Nara and the drummers Are hausa/Fulani.

They Do Especially The folklore Music, I find the sahel Music to be More Close to Eritreans Music. Eritrean Music relies Heavily On the Kirar or the Tanboor a 3 String Guitar Like Instrument Eritreans Always Think They are the best At it and obession with it Start when you are a baby.lol
