Possibly the Clovis as you read on......\nStone-age people lived in the lands north of the Arctic Circle before the peak of the last Ice Age - much earlier than had been thought, suggests new findings.\n\nThe discovery of the site in eastern Siberia also hints that people might have moved from the Old World into the Americas at a much earlier date than believed.\n\nThe site along the Yanu River, carbon-dated as 30,000 years old, is twice the age of the oldest previously known Arctic settlement, report Vladimir Pitulko of the Institute for the History of Material Culture in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and colleagues.\n\nThe area is about 2000 kilometres from the Bering Strait. This is important as archaeologists have long suspected that some of the earliest Americans may have crossed the Bering land bridge from northeastern Asia. However, scientists had little evidence of Arctic settlements in Asia older than 14,000 years - the age of the earliest Alaskan sites. The age of the Yanu River site shows that people learned to live in the Arctic much earlier, and might have reached Alaska earlier than has been recognised.\n\n"Pitulko's find is exciting because it shows that people were living in an ecosystem that stretched continuously between Asia and North America. If they had wandered a little further eastward...bingo - they could have been the first Americans," Daniel Mann of the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks told New Scientist.\n\nReindeer bones\nRussian geologist Mikhail Dashtzeren found a rhino-horn foreshaft of a spear along the river in 1993. A foreshaft is the detachable piece between the main part of a spear and its point. Dashtzeren guided archaeologists to the site in 2001. Pitulko's team found 383 stone artefacts in the area, as well as many bones from ice-age Siberian animals including mammoths, reindeer, woolly rhino and bison.\n\nThe ancient site would have been an open meadow in the river's flood plain when occupied. It is unclear if people lived in the area all year, or only came north in summer to hunt. The abundance of reindeer bones indicates they were the most common food.\n\nThe flaked stone tools resemble those from more southerly sites at the time. However, the rhino-horn foreshaft, and two similar ones of mammoth ivory, resemble tools used by the Clovis people who spread over North America about 12,000 years ago and are believed to be among the continent's first human settlers.\n\nBut archaeologists are wary about linking the two. "It's a fabulous site," David Meltzer of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, told New Scientist. The dates look solid, and "it's tells us that people were in the far north a whole lot earlier than we ever thought."\n\nBut he cautions the new settlement and those of the Clovis are separated by 16,000 years and thousands of kilometres.\n\nJournal reference: Science (vol 303, p 52)

If you mean Ramses XI (roman numeral 11) - the final king of the 20th Dynasty of the New Kingdom - then the answer is that a tomb was prepared for him in the Valley of the Kings (KV 4), but apparently it was never completed nor was it actually used by Ramses XI.\nIt is believed that he chose instead to be buried away from Thebes, probably somewhere in Northern Egypt (his actual burial has yet to be found) due to the political instability in Egypt, the rising power of the priesthood in Thebes,  and the frequent robbery of royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings during his reign as well as the reigns of other kings.\n\nBy this point in Egyptian history, Egyptian kings had ceased to build pyramids for themselves and pyramids instead became part of the burial tradition for non-royal persons.  The exception is the construction of royal pyramids in Nubia by the Napatan and Meroitic kings and queens of the 1st millenium BC, some of whom also ruled over Egypt during the 25th Dynasty.

Yes they had the DNA, but judiasm is not about dna, as anyone can convert to judiasm. The ethiopians had a claim based on the DNA  -- BUT -- upon arrival to israel also underwent conversion

Geez Man, didn't anyone tell you yet ?\n...The real 'earthlings' were totally annihilated by our ancestors, eons ago - when they first invaded Planet Earth. Among our ancestors, the Men came from Mars, and Women from Venus.\n...We are all the proud descendants, of those brave and holy alien immigrants who came in search of the 'Promised Lands'.

The Etruscans are one of the few pre-Indo-European peoples to have survived to the Roman period.They remained a major power in Italy up to the fifth century BC. They lived somewhere in the upper Italy.\nThe language, written in a variety of the Greek alphabet, is very different from other Italian tongues.

their main food source was potatoes, and they used llamas and alpacas to carry things.  They had roads just used to have runners carry messages to the whole empire!!\n\nI hope this helps a lot!!

Well it was in Egypt that the cat was first domesticated. Animals of all kinds were respected by Egyptians. But "cats where worshipped and respected for two reasons: firstly, because the goddess Bast was worshipped in the form of a cat, and secondly, because the cat was seen as an important part of Egyptian life" They were seen as helpful companions; they trained their cats to go out hunting with them instead of dogs!!

Read some of Zecharia Sitchins books....taken from 7000 year old text. \n\nAlso, the Bible could be speaking of the populated world at the time. Or civilization as it was known then.

I think the Greeks- they had a plumbing system and nice temples.\n\nRome has lovely Art.\n\nEgypt were good architects.

LOL...Good point! Give em something to think about!\n\n********\n\nNoah and his ark was actually a true story.....notice, I said STORY....not EVENT.\n\nThe Fertile Crescent had spring floods every year, due to the snows melting from the Ural mountains to the north. The story was a tale told at the time to get locals to prepare for the spring floods by moving to higher grounds or to build barges/floats, to keep above the flood waters.\n\nThe "story" says it was the "whole world" that flooded.....actually it was THEIR whole world.....people didn't use to travel a lot, ya know. the whole bible is a compiled group of stories just like this one.

Genesis 4:16-18\n\nAnd Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the East of Eden.\n\nAnd Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son Enoch.\n\nAnd unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.\n\n(It seems to me like there were more than just Adam & Eve, huh)

Hello:  Noting your question correction regarding the 12 tribes of Israel.   The history of Israel, as recorded in the Tanack, (OT version of the Original Text) indicates that shortly after the invasion of the Assyrian armies, the ten northern Israel tribes were dispersed north to Assyria, and scattered among that nation in assimulation.  The two tribes remaining of the Southern area of Israel, were Judah and Benjamin, along with some of the remnants of several of the northern tribes who fled at the time of the invasion south into Judahs area, notables of that were Levites.  As the survivors were living in the tribal area of Judah, all that lived there became known as Judahites, and that was later shortened to Jews... the majority of Judahites or Jews were later scattered with the additional invasion of the Babylonian conquest, where a strong community grew for the seventy years of captivity, then approximately 20 percent returned to Jerusalem when the Persian king, Cyrus, allowed the Jews to return to rebuild Jerusalem.    The Arab nations that surrounded the area of Israel were not Palestinians, nor were they Phillistines, as the Phillistines inhabited the southern coastal area and were eventually killed or died during their final years in the Philistia area after King Solomons reign.    It was shortly before WWII that England occupied the Israel area, and renamed it Palestinia,  hence the name of all sojourners there became known as Palestinians....which had nothing to do with the previous area of Philistia or Phillistines...Todays present Palestinians are Arab,refugees from the various Arab nations that rejected them from the Arab states of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia.   Sincerly

I think these were probably descendents of Adam and Eve. That means when Cain married that women it was probably his sister. I don't know how it works but I guess we just have to trust in God. (you know who knows how old cain and able were when cain killed him, maybe plenty of time for Adam and Eve to have more kids; also people back then tended to marry very fast so there were marriages and children poppin all over the place!) Hope I made a little sense! God Bless

In 1856, bones of an unrecognizable hominid turned up in Germany's Neander Valley. This early human and others like it—sturdy, large-headed individuals—came to be known as Neanderthals. Despite a century and a half of study and debate, Neanderthals remain an enigma. Were they our ancestors, or an evolutionary dead-end? Were they assimilated into early modern (Cro Magnon) populations, or were they wiped out en masse in a Pleistocene genocide? "Neanderthals on Trial" investigates this long-standing mystery.\n\nOriginal broadcast
