I asked whether Bantu people form Afrika east to South Africa were indeed the original jews. Can you help what do you think? Using the very old.....chinese compass the "western" north is actually the south. so that would mean that the west is the east. When we apply the the chinese compass to the maps in the bible, what would the story be or how would this change the stories in the bible? What would the bible say about peoples movements?

My column was Mindsphere. I have looked for the paper on line and no longer see it. I am so glad to see you working so progressively in the field of World History. I am finding your article indespensible for my World History students. Thank you so much, Zunny Dear Anu,

It reminded me of the many lectures given by my oldest brother (that I was initially forced to sit through) as a little girl. My brother even assigned specific readings that made me aware of the "excellence in women" (i.e. Elizabeth: The Virgin Queen). My oldest brother, Johnnie, is now deceased but he will always be one of my heroes. Thank God for big brothers; He was such a genius... I lacked the bibliographic citations listed here. Thank you. This article has greatly assisted me in my freelance writings. Yes, I will definitely give credit to this bibliography. I enjoyed this article and found it quite impressive.

Therefore, the distinction between black and African is very significant and is often overlooked.

Whether it's roots tied to our families or country in general I feel it is important to understand history and how it has affected today's society.

Like most people I am not aware of these facts and really why would I be? They don't teach us this stuff in grade school for the simple fact that history has been primarily written by White men. At the same this article shouldn't be taken as the absolute truth either. As I stated in another comment, you have to conduct your own research because you won't learn about this stuff from school.

Africa is so large, worldly interaction in ancient times is assumed. But the author seems to be making general, sweeping statements about the anthro histories of ancient nations.
