In this area of the world, ethnic groups usually means Caucasians or mixed race people.
Those folks would never be confused with Europeans.
BTW, Chinese are simply a variation in your basic Caucasion type anyway.
Most interesting link:
I still ask the question...why are they called Freemont People and not Freemont Indians?
"Most interesting link:
The Origin Of The Korean People: Who Are The Koreans?"
Thanks! Some of the research mentioned sounds interesting though I see some things that seem controversial/speculative--i.e., the statements on the classification/origins of the Korean language (I believe this is in dispute), on King Chi Wu's activity in 2700 BC (no historical foundation for this IMO since we have no written documents anywhere near that old), and on the Soviet-era verification of the Go-Chosun period (for the same reason: no written documents). The pyramids which the Chinese government won't allow researchers to investigate sound intriguing.
Thanks, the spirals do interest me. Wish I had that book handy to compare the specific patterns. Offhand the style looks slightly different than the version found in China and Central America. I need to get you some pictures--I have one, will scan that in later when I get a chance.
Farmfriend who kept the GGG left FR and we don't have her ping list.
I am trying to re-create/create a ping list for the above topic.
I assembled this list by going through some related threads, and you either posted on them, or someone pinged you to them, so I am assuming there is some interest.
I apologize to those who don't want to be on this list.
PLEASE FREEPMAIL ME, if you want on or off this list.
If you want off, I will take your name off immediately and won't bother you any more.
Hopefully in a few days those who want off, will get off and we'll only have those who really do want to be on it.
I just had to start somewhere.
If you want to see other articles in this group, here is the link, which lists them:
Anthropology and Archaeology stories at Yahoo
After a couple of days, I will shorten my PING Post, please bear with me in the interim.
Also, if you see a thread related to this, please ping a post to *Gods, Graves, Glyphs and to me, that will add it to the group and lets me know I should ping the list.
Thanks.
GPS is everywhere and is a major help in surveying archaeology sites. But the major new tool is GIS. Besides being a database with all the bells and whistles, the GIS has considerable3-D cartographic capability. The days of sketchy line drawings of excavations are nearly at an end and we can link images such as pottery shards to the map and link those to other databases, probably to Internet search engines, too, if we want. Freemont Peoples should be a click away from Korea or Chinese Pyramids or Egyptian mummies with tobacco in their hair.
Funny you say that. When I saw the map below, that was linked in one of the articles above, I thought...Drug routes. FReeper Fedora and I have talked about this possible drug route before.
Think we'll live long enough to see some arrows radiating out from Sundaland?
The proto-Australians
The proto-Indo-Europeans
The Asian AmerInds
This map gets the last two but misses those who hugged the coast coming out of Africa into Southeast Asia. With the interest in the people of Tierra Del Fuego, perhaps the last shoe will drop????????????
I think there were many more but, most were small compared to those you listed.
Cool map. LOL on the drug trade route :)
I hope I'm on your list........
Manchuria used to be part of Korea long time ago. Then China took it. This must be grounds for reparations. Anyways, I am happy with my life here in America. Manchuria has lots of old Korean buildings. Many Koreans live in Manchuria. Lake Baikal is where the modern Korean came from. The lake really holds significance to me. LOL.
pingin' self to map ;)
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
Gods, Graves, Glyphs PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
