Hey, I was just looking at the "evidence" you put forward, and finding serious problems with it. Then all you did in the following list is restate that bankrupt "evidence" without having addressed any of the questions about it.

> 1.Both are the ancient Saharan ancestry

Rick and others have made a very good case that you don't understand any of the research on genetics or phys.anth. that you present. Nuff said, far as I'm concerned.

> 2.A significant number of word commonalities
A fine example of pseudolinguistics. Did you look at the paper I linked to, which discusses exactly that kind of naive junk research?

> 3.Common Pygmie God with a tongue sticking out and
> a skull necklace on both
Sigh. So now you change the claim, from "gaping mouth" to "tongue sticking out". What makes you think the Ife terracotta is a pygmy? Also, his tongue is not sticking out. Also, he is not a god. Also, the Bes figure is not wearing a skull necklace. In any case, one terracotta head, taken out of context, is not evidence for a "pygmy god" in West Africa - are there other examples? After all, we have thousands of representations of Bes.

> 3.Pyramids found in both regions
No. There are structures that are bigger on the bottom than on the top, yes. But the similarities end there, and are not significant.

That is an interesting claim, and one I would like to know more about. Have you got a link you could share? However, I will say ahead of time that oral traditions that are not backed up by other lines of evidence are not evidence of anything. Bear in mind that the European Christian origin myth involves a garden in Mesopotamia and a talking snake.

LOL all you like. Accuse us all of a racist bias if you must. But that is no substitute for solid evidence and reasoned debate.

Your ignorance is no excuse. And I'm not surprised the debunking gets less attention than the original wild claims of an obvious pseud, because, sadly, that seems to be the way things generally go.

Do please follow the link I gave you previously.
