ABOUT three thousand years B.C.?

*

THREE
main regions
and three main kinds
of wandering and imperfectly settled people there were
in those remote days of the first civilisations in Sumeria and early Egypt?
FAR away in the forests of Europe were the blonde Nordic peoples,
hunters and herdsmen, a 'lowly' race ...
The primitive civilisations saw
very little of this race
before 1500 B.C.
AWAY
on the steppes of eastern Asia
various Mongolian tribes, the Hunnish peoples,
were domesticating the horse and developing a very wide-sweeping habit
of seasonal movement between their summer and winter
camping-places.
POSSIBLY
the Nordic and Hunnish peoples
were still separated from one another by the swamps of Russia
and the greater Caspian Sea
of that time?
For very much of Russia then
was swamp and lake.
In the deserts,
which were growing more arid now,
of Syria and Arabia,
tribes of a dark-white or brownish people,
the Semitic tribes,
were driving flocks of sheep and goats and asses
from pasture to pasture ...
It was these Semetic shepherds
and certain more negroid people from southern Persia, the Elamites,
who were the first nomads to come into close contact
with the early civilisations.
THEY
came as traders and as raiders?!
FINALLY
there arose leaders among them with bolder imaginations,
and they came as
conquerors
........

ABOUT
2750 B.C.
a great Semitic leader, Sargon
{Saddamn Husseins 'hero' in 2000 A.D.!},
had conquered the whole Sumerian land and was master of all the world from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea ...
HE was also an illiterate barbarian
and his people,
the Akkadians, learned the Sumerian writing
and adopted the Sumerian language as the speech of the officials and
the 'learned' .............
The empire he founded
decayed after two centuries,
and after one inundation of Elamites,
a fresh Semitic people, the Amorites, by degrees
established their rule over
Sumeria!
THEY
made their capital
in what had up till then
been a small up-river town,
BABYLON,
and their empire is called
the first Babylonian Empire ...
IT
was consolidated by a great king called HAMMURABI {circa 2100 B.C.},
who made the earliest code of laws
yet known to
history.

~

THE NARROW VALLEY
of the Nile lies less open to nomadic invasion than Mesopotamia,
but about the time of Hammurabi there occurred another successful Semitic
invasion of Egypt and a line of new Pharaohs was set up,
the Hyksos or 'shepherd kings,' which lasted
for several centuries ...
THESE Semitic conquerors
never really assimilated themselves with the Egyptians;
they were always regarded with hostility as foreigners and barbarians;
and they were at last expelled by a popular uprising
about 1600 B.C.

~

But
the Semites
had come into Sumeria for good and all,
the two 'races' assimilated and the Babylonian Empire became Semitic
in its language and
character
...

"Adam & Eve", Cain & Abel,
Noach & Cham, Seth & Yafeth,
Avraham & Sarai & their journeys inbetween UR, Haran,
Kana'an & Egypt!?!

ALL ROOTS
of our history are connected
in early myths, old stories &
recent developments,
new 'interpretations'
& our cultural connections via jewish Bible, Christian 'fables' {New Test.}
& 'common' languages
up to this
very day ...?
