There was a queen in Yemen and the trade routes went to Egypt and Mesopotamia .. Both civilizations used Frankincense and Myrrh in their funerary rituals.
but then again for prosperity's sake. ugh the dreaded wiki link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution
Scientists have NO idea what color the ancients were.. We don't even know what color the Natufians or Nehanderthals were or the Annu.. Its an exercise in racism at best. As for Arab propaganda... stuff it. The Jews seem to be half brothers to Arabs based on the DNA.
what did ancient man look like? lets just meet half way and say they had brown skin and brown eyes. halfway between black and white.
Now, an ancient toolkit of stone hand axes, scrapers and perforators discovered by an international team of researchers at a site in the United Arab Emirates suggests modern humans arrived in eastern Arabia as early as 125,000 years ago. "Our findings should stimulate a re-evaluation of the means by which we modern humans became a global species," said researcher Simon Armitage at the University of London. Rocky picnic spot The site in question, an ancient rock shelter named Jebel Faya about 34 miles (55 kilometers) inland from the coast of the Persian Gulf, was originally known "as a nice shady picnic place for a weekend," said researcher Hans-Peter Uerpmann from Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, Germany. The fact that spots around Jebel Faya had stone tools suggested that artifacts might lie buried at the site. "They were covered by layers of sand and gravel, which had accumulated since the Stone Age," Uerpmann explained. They started digging trenches to excavate the site in 2003. "Once a camel fell into a trench and we had trouble with the Bedouins, but otherwise, the area is very safe and no problems at all with the locals, who come and are very interested," Uerpmann told LiveScience. In 2006, the researchers discovered a stone hand ax that suggested the site might be far older than they suspected. Using a technique known as optically stimulated luminescence dating, which measures the minute amount of light long-buried objects can emit to see how long they have been interred, Armitage determined the artifacts were about 100,000 to 125,000 years old. http://www.livescience.com/11651-ancient-arabian-artifacts-rewrite-oout-africao-story.html Arguing about race is pretty much insane in 2013.
well the fact is thus…people first appeared in the area of Ethiopia . I say they were black, maybe they were green who knows. but the reality is thus we all come from this tribe. Jews were given a very small sliver of land compared to Arabs.. And for some that is too much . Margot brought up certain aspects of Jews coming from Europe..lol..so i interjected… now lets throw out the facts as to where we all came from due to some sceptics that we all started with black skin. wow…are you people desperate in trying to maintain your anti jewish sentiments. so…i ask you again why is Israel so small compared to what the arabs get?
actually today's Israel is the part of Trans-Jordan mandate of Britain, a combiantion of Palestine and Jordan territories. And the Israel by the UN declaration has been accepted a sovereign country on the territory today, it was actually much more smaller when it is first founded. Only a small strip from Haifa to Tel Aviv and some areas in the north near Golan.
What "Transjordan Mandate"? The Transjordan memorandum was a British memorandum passed by the Council of the League of Nations on September 16, 1922. The memorandum described how the British government planned to implement the article of the Mandate for Palestine which allowed exclusion of Transjordan from the provisions regarding Jewish settlement - - - Updated - - - Refugees don't get to claim the lands of other people and kick them out.
Israelites always were an insignificant tribal nation . With the pass of time most insignificant nations vanished ( the Cares, Cappadocians, Philistines etc) while other are reduced to few thousands of people who are speaking a foreign language and follow a foreign religion ( like the Pomachi in Thrace ) . This is the fate of the tribals everywhere around the world , just think how the all powerful Mongols are nowhere to be found in areas where the Hordes , the Mughals and the Jayalarids ruled .
Pomachi , Pomakoi or Pomaks . Decedents of a Thracian tribe that today are muslim and speak Bulgarian .

Yes.. thanks. Hints of earlier human exit from Africa There are maps and photos of tools at the link. http://www.sciencenews.org/view/gene...it_from_Africa Hints of earlier human exit from Africa Stone tools suggest a surprisingly ancient move eastward By Bruce Bower February 26th, 2011; Vol.179 #5 (p. 5) Stone Age people apparently took a surprisingly fast track out of Africa via an unexpected route — Arabia. Modern humans reached Arabia’s eastern edge, not far from the shores of southwestern Asia, as early as 125,000 years ago, according to a report in the Jan. 28 Science. That’s a good 65,000 years earlier than the generally accepted date for the first substantial human migrations beyond Africa. Stone tools unearthed at an Arabian Peninsula rock shelter called Jebel Faya resemble sharpened points and cutting implements from East African sites of about the same age, says a scientific team led by physical geographer Simon Armitage of the University of London and archaeologist Hans-Peter Uerpmann of the University of Tübingen in Germany. Jebel Faya is located in what’s now the United Arab Emirates. “New dates at Jebel Faya reveal that modern humans migrated out of Africa much earlier than previously thought, helped by global fluctuations in sea-level and climate change in the Arabian Peninsula,” Armitage says.
They were originally Canaanites just like the Jews... but they lived in settled cities that were involved in mining, metallurgy, pottery making and farming. There's no real arguing with the archeology.
What archeology??????????????????? Your finds????????????? Your artifacts?????????????????????? 2000 Years ago Arabs living in Israel proper ??????????????? What else besides their demands to behead every Single Jews in his homeland?????????? This is not in the cards, this is but a nefarious dream.... and reality dictates to move the NON ISRAELI Arabs to Jordan and to incorporate Judea, Samaria and Gaza!

Canaanite Artifacts The long history of Jerusalem began well before it was captured by King David and made into the Capital of the People of Israel 3,000 years ago. Archeaological findings indicate the existence of a settlement in Jerusalem in the 3rd millenium BCE. The first mention of the city in historic sources begins in the 2nd millenium BCE. The Ma'arot Writings, written in hieroglyphics, were meant to put a curse on the enemies of Egypt. They were written in the 18th and 19th centuries B.C., on small statues of prisoners or on bowls. The name "Rashlemum" (Jerusalem) is mentioned on some of them. The verse in Genesis 11;18 "and Malchi-Tzedek King of Salem brought forth bread and wine and he is priest to the Almighty God above," refers to that same period, which is known in the Bible as the period of the Patriarchs. In the middle of the 2nd millenium B.C.E. the King of Egypt and his advisors carried on a volumous correspondence with the governors of the cities in the Land of Israel that were under Egyptian suzerainty. There was antagonism among these governors, and in their letters, pictured on the right, they complain about each other, and request help (one chariot or ten soldiers), to defeat their enemies, whom they describe, of course, as the enemies of the king. The letters were written in cuneiform, in the Akkadian language (which was the international language then, much as English is today), and some of them were found in Egypt, in the archive of the capital city, El-Amarna. Six of the letters found were written by the governor of Jerusalem ("Ershalem"). continued http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Archaeology/canaan.html

Actually Baklava is a favorite Palestinian dessert. http://www.kabobfest.com/2011/07/favorite-palestinian-dessert.html Many people think that baklava is a Turkish or Greek dessert. But the truth is in the name itself: baklava comes from two Arabic words: baql (nuts) + halawa (sweet). It’s crunchy philo dough stuffed with slightly salted pistachios, cashews, almonds, or walnuts, dipped in honey or sugary syrup. The sweet and salty taste is irresistible
