The reason as to why I support the theory that the queen of Sheeba was from Southern Arabia is because the Kingdom of Aksum never existed during the times of Solomon following both Quranic and Biblical dates. The Kingdom of Saba must have been in Yemen or Southern Arabia.
obaaderemi:
Oh,I see. It's common knowledge that the kingdom of Kush is right below Egypt. For this simple reason it became known and prominent before the lower kingdom below it which came much later. Kush which is modern day Sudan was established around 700BC and was already prominent by 500BC around the time much of the first testament was scripted. The name Kush came from the egyptians and the name ethiopia came from the greeks.In fact, Herodotus got there and described the land and the people. Mind you, the kingdom Menelik established was not established until around 100BC and Aksum, its main part never became prominent until around 10AD or so. Moreover, Herodotus the most traveled historian of the time and a Greek,never got to Abyssinia.Maybe someone would like to tell us the origin of the name Ethiopia. grin It's definitely Greek. The archaeological records available have proved beyond doubt that modern day Ethiopia ain't the same as biblical Ethiopia. It used to have the name Abyssinia until much later. Just follow the timeline.

Maybe true maybe not.But the Kushite Kingdom/Nubian Kingdom was an extension of the Egyptian Kingdom.It was part of the Greater Egyptian Kingdom before it reached its own peak.The Egyptian Kingdom in fact had Nubian pharaohs! As for the Ethiopian Kingdom being the modern day Sudan,I don't know much about it! Maybe you can tell me more.
obaaderemi:
The Ethiopia you see mentioned in the Bible was actually modern day Sudan.

I long knew that Ethiopians have a soft spot for Solomon.Don't even mention about the Queen of Sheba.I know you all think that the founder of Ethiopia came from the lineage of King Solomon.

Beliefs are just beliefs,they do not necessarily mean facts or lies!
ednited:
One of the oldest religion- Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo church says Sheba is Ethiopian

And archeologists are people who could get confused and confuse people. . . .either way. . . .

I'm not denying the African linkages. I'm more on the location of the two figures!

Europeans too acknowledged that they came from Africa,but we can't say that Alexander the Great was African

This should then mean that the Queen of Sheba and Enoch resided and lived among the Ethiopians since they were Ethiopians and even spoken the language!
kikuyu1:
Jonraid,pls read posts and the supporting evidence-I've answered the issue.

It's all about believes. That's all.Both the Muslims and Christians believe that Jesus is 'theirs'

That's how things are!
ednited:
You didn't say that. I was trying to explain to you that it don't matter to me of what you think they were. That is all.


I knew it would sound insane to you from the very beginning
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 4:31pm On Feb 25, 2019
Where did I say that?

I just think that she was Arab.I might be wrong or right! And I just think that Enoch was Babylonian.I know Ethiopians believes differently in these things,well no one is going to believe them as you do!
ednited:
Okay man. Take all you want. Make Saba (Sheba) Indian and Enoch Ghanian. Keep taking them all. Say Ghion is in kenya too.

I am just going to keep watching.
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 4:24pm On Feb 25, 2019
I get the point!

Ethiopians might complain how their history is not spread out but what of Sudan and it's Kushite Kingdom which existed as old as the Egyptian Kingdom?
kikuyu1:
Dude,let me simplify things. Egypt and the Middle East were all AFRICAN. Methods used by forensic anthropologists to ID skeletons include dental morphology and cranio facial typology seen here which conclusively declared the ancient Elamites to be African:

Here are ancient depictions and their descendants in Iran circa 1900. The 2nd pic shows an archer with dreads,surprisingly common those days.
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 4:22pm On Feb 25, 2019
Also the book of Enoch was written in Hebrew.What's your point?

If the oldest Bible is written in Greek language,this shouldn't mean that Jesus was Greek or that he spoke it!
ednited:
Enoch what? Babylon people must write Ge'ez then. Call a single Babylon man and ask him about Ge'ez. Book of Enoch was written in Ge'ez and Ge'ez is an Ethiopian language. PERIOD



I am not talking about a children's book. The Ge'ez books are correct and important. It will blow your mind on how it is explained right there. Why do Germans keep buying Ethiopians to translate the books for them?


You see why I told you that I will sound insane? Today, we have reached to a time where people don't beleive Ethiopia has it. Are we really fighting on the fact that Queen of Sheba isn't Ethiopian. . . .??

I will stop right there.
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 4:08pm On Feb 25, 2019
Enoch was a Babylonian-Iraq!

I respect Ethiopian history but come on! Anyone in the past can write a book.That doesn't mean it's true or not!

It's like the Queen of Sheeba.Both the biblic and the Quranic scholars reckon that she's from Yemen of Arab ancestry but the Ethiopians claim that she's from them!

Everybody is fighting in claiming these figures! Jeez!
ednited:
Jonraid and kikuyu1


Ge'ez language (ግዕዝ ቛንቛ )

We beleive in millions of things the internet and white people tell us. They act as they know everything and brainwash us. But Ge'ez language says they are liars

Ge'ez is the oldest language in the world. I didn't make that up. An Ethiopian priest beleive that


Your wondering, how about Sabian, Arabic or even English?

Everything you learn in Astrology, stars and medicine was taken from the ancient Ge'ez books. These books are found in few places. . .including Germany

Why in Germany?

Germany stole that from Ethiopia and Germans are learning this language in master level.


What if Germans own it?

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo church existed long ago and still it is that church using it properly. The Ethiopians are the ones who explained Ge'ez to the Germans

Why do the Ethiopian Orthodox church use it?

Nice question. The Ethiopian priests even believe this language was used by Adam and eve. The priests only use Ge'ez to pass regard to the Angels. That part is called Kidase.

How do they know Adam and eve used it?

That is still a question I can't answer right now. But the Ge'ez books that were written centuries ago says Ethiopians or the Ge'ez writers has a mystery. They never had any telescope or anything to prove about the stars. But they knew every single thing.

Ethiopia I think is the oldest country. The book of Enoch was found in Ethiopia and Enoch is Ethiopian. The Ghion you know in the bible is in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the first Christian state. Ethiopia is the origin of man kind too. Ethiopians conquered many countries.


What makes Ge'ez special?

አ ቡ ጊ ዳ ሄ ው ዞ

በ ጉ ዲ ሃ ዌ ዝ ዦ



አ is the first alphabet for a reason. When you write Adam in Ge'ez, you write this letter first. It is to indicate Adam is the first. The letters written horizontly (above) has meanings related to God. As you can see, there are 7 letters written vertically, there is a reason why they used 7. 7 is a human code. I will explain about all this further if you guys are interested. . .

Those who trace back to Abraham should be the first one to have had civilisation,so the early Arabs have it.The early Egyptians should be the first civilisation in Africa followed by the Sudanese Kingdom of Kush and then the Ethiopian civilisation.Mesopotamia(Iraq-Syria) where Abraham came is the first known civilisation! Remember,Arabs are closer to Mesopotamia than Ethiopians,so they trace way back than them!

If it be that Hagar was a Kush/Nubian....then it's true to say that Arabs have African DNA.Because the mother of Father of the modern day Arabs who is Ishmael was a black Egyptian slave probably of Kushite origins!

He's not an 'absolute god'.That was the point!
Justnotyou:
Yes he has numerous abilities that make him op but canonically marvel tier's god way above skyfathers & Thor only has two comic versions of him that are at or above skyfather level, old king Thor (skyfather-tier) & rune King Thor (universal-tier) the rest are titan to cosmic-tier & its understandable why low tier beings would refer to Thor as a god but that shouldn't merit him as one, superman is normally depicted as a merely cosmic-tier being but if you watch batman vs superman most of the humans even lex Luther & batman both with intelligent scientific minds are trying to prove he isn't a god.

If you want an idea on what marvel considers as a god check out fulcrum & the one above all.

The battle of the elephant

King Najash(Negus) the King of Habash(Arabic word for Ethiopia) marched towards Mecca with a large army of men and elephants.He did not win though as Allah (God) sent an army of birds which dealt with the invaders.The Quran in the Chapter of The Elephants says:

''Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.''


The King wanted to attack Mecca because he was envious that Sanaa the capital of Yemen(his base) was loosing out to Mecca in terms of trade and influence in the Arabian Peninsula!

It's hard to tell who between the Arabs and the Ethiopians came first as a civilisation, Arabs trace their ancestry all the way to Ismail(Ishmael) the Son of Abraham!

kikuyu1:
No. Majority of Arabs have Ethio blood! Be careful with Western historical narratives-they're deliberately distorted. Yemen and the entire Saudi peninsula,the whole Middle East actually were ruled and populated by Africans til relatively recently. You do know an Ethiopian King almost captured Mecca or Medina fighting the proto Muslims? His war elephant for some reason refused to cooperate.

I guess this is debatable.He is the god of thunder after all.I think it all lies down on how you interpret this 'god'

In the Comics he is a 'god' as many civilisations look at the Asgardians for the maintenance of the universe.Remember when the dwarf asked him where they were when Thanos was running the show all over.''You were supposed to help us'' the Dwarf Blacksmith said something like this. Of course he is not an actual 'God' but he is one of the most badass beings in the MCU universe,actually the most badass to many.This grand superiority and abilities is what makes him a god or a demigod for that matter!

It is for this reason that you'll find many refer to him as a 'god'.

He is an elite coming from a powerful tribe! What a 'god' means in the MCU is a bit different from what we think God means! And lastly the writers can make Captain America beat Hulk,but this shouldn't be a reference that Captain America can really beat Hulk! He can't! Even Hulk can't beat Hulk!
Justnotyou:
Watch all the three movie entries of Thor, you'll realize a scene where Odin, Thor's father & the most powerful asgardian to ever live explains why they're not gods, at reddit someone else also observed this: In Thor 2 the dark world, When Loki told his father that he wants to rule earth as a god like him, Odin’s response was

"We are not gods! We're born, we live, we die, just as humans do."

Try & understand asgardians have a superiority complex & others like Hela & Loki are drowning in it they dream & wish they were god's, even in infinity war despite thanos being vastly more powerful Loki still doesn't consider him a god so...

We are also on a massive roll out of family planning. The investment in our healthcare is testament to that. Our economic growth should outstrip our population growth by huge margins for us to achieve our goals. We need to lessen the dependency ratio if we are to reap the demographic dividend.We just can't let the masses overbreed like rats. We need to get to two children per family, we are near there!
XhosaNostra:
"Stunted growth" to go with our declining fertility rate. It balances things out. Did you know that we're currently at 2 children per household on average? Yeah that's right, because breeding with careless abandon is the reason why many people find themselves in a fix.

I'll see about those two books.I love Medieval movies though, their script is just awesome.I also love the brutality nature of the fights. Raw swords and arrows, man to man, savagery! ...I love that! I've watched Spartacus,wasn't a bad story.I loved Merlin.It's one of those that I would watch again, but it's ending was whack!
kikuyu1:
I struggled to finish s1 when it came out just after the best historical action adventure series in the history of film,Spartacus, blood and sand,so I understandably had high expectations.
GoT is overrated! Its just not interesting: I strongly suspect the producer was aware and so overloaded the story with props-Dothraki,dragons, dragon eggs etc,etc but its still extremely Meeeehh!
Iow,you're missing nothing. Read a good book; a Stephen Hunter or Patrick Robinson,adult men's fiction.
