Or a way to find the coffins after a sand storm.

The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)

Has anyone ever pointed out that those are not in "alpha order"?

But the river he used to navigate to this ancient site dried up and the dune and its tombs were forgotten about for decades.

Global Warming!

The Aryans (Indo-Europeans) had the caste system that the Celts (not the Slavs nor the Germanics tribes) used. It was the same social structure, same origins, similar language. This cannot be said of the Germanic tribes.

Please could you elaborate on that? I've never heard of the Celts having a caste system.

The Celts didn't ONLY settle in Brittany region, but the Irish and Brittany Celts you are reffering to were the only celts to do so.

The Celts were based only in Western Europe, West and south of the Germanics.

The Gauls also made the Galatians (from which we get the name of a book in the Bible.)

The Galatians were the results of the GAulish expansion south in the 3rd century BC when they attacked Rome and then moved south to take over what became Galatia.

[Cronos]

Should drop "arab" and place "semites" instead.

No 'semites' invaded Iberia. The Romans were Indo-European Italics.

[Cronos]

The residents of the regions of Asia north of the huge Asian mountain range (does it have a single name?) have a considerable tradition of migrating.

The Himalayas. Essentially the mountain ranges formed when the sub-continent of India slammed into Asia a few millenia ago.

[Cronos]

Global Warming!

Nope, the expansion of the Gobi desert.

[RightWhale]

Sure that is part, and not even most of it. The Caucusus is attached, what is north of Iran, what goes up into China around the Gobi Desert, it's all one big mountain chain. North of all that.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, the FR server pointed that out (saving keywords). ;')

[MacDorcha]

"No 'semites' invaded Iberia. The Romans were Indo-European Italics."

Then what are "Moors" I ask?

[MacDorcha]

Brahman-Druid
Kshatriya-Chiefs and warriors
Vaishya-Merchants and tradesmen
Shudra-Metalcrafts and jewlers
Harijan- the conquered class (the Romans were held in such regards until they rose again later)

[MacDorcha]

The cauacasians. The obviously white people in China's northern region. Why did they leave? Did they die? Why was it so easy to assume they hadn't been there for so long until these mummies were found?

[Cronos]

Then what are "Moors" I ask?

Moors were mostly Berbers who are not Semites but indigenous North Africans, more related to Vandals etc.

[Cronos]

Harijan- the conquered class (the Romans were held in such regards until they rose again later)

Never heard of heiriditary (sp?) low castes amongst the Celts

[Cronos]

Furthermore, your replies are disjointed. First you said There were even Iberian Celts (until the arabs came to Spain)

THen Should drop "arab" and place "semites" instead.

[MacDorcha]

"Never heard of heiriditary (sp?) low castes amongst the Celts"

Then its the one discrepancy in their systems.

The last teir is least discussed of the Vedic castes than others. The untouchables aren't even (at least as I recall) mentioned in the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita.

the remaining castes hold their clout, however. Woman's rolls not withstanding.

[MacDorcha]

I was under the impression they were from Syria.

It was ruled AS part of North Africa, but it was ruled (though weakly) by Syrians (largely semitic at the time)

[Cronos]

You may have a point about that caste system similarity. Thanks!!!

Berbers were not from Syria. You are right that they were initially nominally under the Umayyad Caliphate in Syria, but later on they broke away and formed their own Caliphate based in Morocco.
