- This lecture reviews the startling new archaeological discoveries that have been made in Turkey during the last 25 years, including the Roman Sebasteion at Aphrodisias, the early Neolithic cult circles at Goebeklitepe, and the Middle Byzantine shipwrecks in Istanbul. The lecture is intended as a special concluding component of the Golden Age of King Midas exhibit. Dr. C. Brian Rose, Curator of the Golden Age of King Midas , will speak.
Thank you for posting this fascinating lecture . I am a retired tradesman and grandfather who lives at the far end of the United States. I will probably never have a chance to visit your wonderful museum, but these types of videos give me an opportunity to share in the incredible wealth of knowledge your organization has collected. I want to give the Penn Museum a heartfelt thank you for posting this, and other lectures and presentations. Keep up the great work!
Brian Garrow i just came on here to do exactly the same thing but you said it all for me.. =)...
Brian Garrow if you don't have enough money to travel, your children and grandchildren should pitch in and pay for a trip to Europe, Turkey, and Greece.
Dr. Jones, yourself & a few of your colleagues ought to be able, to dig deep into those fat pockets of yours, & send the kids, the grandkids, pets, the Mrs, the old man himself-
Having said this, how much ya wanna bet DrJones' practice is Haitian, & not even Muricahhno. DOH!
Duff is the Americanized version of Doff, a German word, for stupid. Drop the "L" and you've got your name that fits your bill.
Any books published by this professor? I did an Internship at the Museum of Cycladic Art while I attended Eastern Washington University for my MA studies in history. Have you ever heard of Dr. Bazemore who leads an archaeology dig on the island of Cyprus? She is a history professor at Eastern WA U.
Excellent Lecture . I enjoyed it very much. 12 thousand years condensed into a well done one hour presentation . I recommend it to anyone who appreciates ancient civilization studies
I would have liked to have seen slides in close ups x
I would make one suggestion. the person filming should zoom in tighter on the screen so that you can see what he is pointing to and talking about. at this distance you can't tell what the finer points are.
Totally agree. Fascinating lecture but difficult to watch at this zoomed out distance.
Maybe they could upload the PowerPoint slide show?
Not really any point watching this ? ZOOM would have helped alot ? lol
It's sad to see all of this fascinating material dismissed by people because of some misplaced overreaction to a shorthand phrase in the title. All they mean by "ancient Turkey" is the place that's now called Turkey, in ancient times. That's it. I'm sure that the archaeologists excavating sites like Troy are perfectly well aware of the complex history of this place, including the many peoples that have lived there and the many empires that have ruled there. If an archaeologist says she is working on "ancient North America," that doesn't mean she thinks the place was called "America" or was populated by Europeans in pre-Columbian times! -- I'm all for skepticism, but there's a big difference between intelligent skepticism and stupid skepticism.
Finally, a well reasoned explanation . Thx
Yes, but Archaeologists do not say "I am working on ancient USA".
This is a lecture about sites that exist in an area we now call Turkey. It is not saying that it is the same people who are there today. However the comment section is full of people who seem to have problems understanding that.
I follow very fondly and continuously any kind of archaeological news but I have to admit that I didn't know about many of those finds the professor was talking about. Thank you very much!
I love stumbling into a a video/channel where I can feed my passion for history and a glimpse of places I’ve yet to visit.
Years ago a woman who was a very early paleoanthropologist proposed a two to three thousand year period between hunter-gatherer and agriculture. This period consisted of corralling animals seasonally and culling them and weeding areas rich in food giving plants thus creating gardens and mixed orchards which later formed sacred groves.
She also pointed out that in many areas hunting continued (in some places to the early modern period).
This notion of a big switch between hunter-gatherers and cultivators and pastoralists is too blunt, too simplistic. There was great variety in modes of transition.
And are you that woman?
And that (rappin') tomato was me.
Ancient Turkey...? Sorry there's no such thing as ancient Turkey that was Anatolia or Asia minor or ancient Greece if you want to talk ancient history.
Thank you for this interesting overview. Of course, more than half of the comments are modern political rants, denunciations of science, or wrath against the phrase "ancient Turkey".
Just filter them out.
Very interesting! I love the way Dr Rose presents information! I have a whole playlist I listen to while I work.
Amazing work, amazing lecture. Thanks Penn!
I was watching a RUclips about the sea people and this individual had to complain about how the author used BC. Some people are just looking to argue instead of really focusing on the actual content of the video. So much to learn from these videos, so I will in the future ignore divisive comments. I told this commentor to stop with the trivial and learn. Same here!
Lovely! Fascinating sites and finds, and presented enthusiastically. Thanks.
Ancient Anatolia. We are Ionian Hellenes from Pergamon. Beautiful country and people.
And who lived there before it was called Anatolia?
No, we are Ionic Hellenists, you Hellenisic Ionians
Old Man from Scene Twenty Four : His name was Sheik Pir.Thats the guy who lived there.But later English stole him and they called his Shakespeare.

Great speaker! Fascinating subject.
Surprisingly small attendance. Sounds like less than 100 people...
Dr. Brian Rose - have to look him up now on Amazon- amazing lecturer
Thank you for all the Beautiful Art and so much more History barely mentioned today to the Public, i have so many questions, Thank you for sharing and especially all the hard work.
As a turkish i thank you proffessor
Lots of intrigue and fascinating insights into what was truly a nexus for human and western cultural history and development. The depth of knowledge by the presenter is, by way of an understatement, impressive.
My only wish would be to able to see the slide show "close up". I kept staining to see the details which I'm sure were incredibly interesting.
brilliant talk. many thanks for all your hard work. very well presented and very clear.
- Greece and Armenia crying again.
im not crying but laughing at this nonsense lol
Romans inherited most of the sites they took credit for.
orange70383 that's what conquerors do. In the United States the vast cultures that existed prior are still not adequately addressed. History is written by the victors and that is the way it's always been. Learn about the losers to better understand what MIGHT have happened
Superbly done!!!
Aside from all these ethnic claims the lecture is still fascinating.
I was stationed at Karamursel Air Station, 1957-1959. I went by the last place of Hannibal near Izmid, Turkey.
Love these podcasts injoy every minute of it
Ancient Turkey is what's in the icebox 2 weeks after thanksgiving.
Takes me back to uni lectures and sitting at the back of lecture theatre, peering down to see the images.
thank you for this wonderful lecture!
There is no ancient Turkey..there is ancient Anatolia...Turks have nothing to do with the history of that place!😠
Carry on with the spaz attack, it's amusing
And Its now Repuclic of Turkey .these lands belongs to Turkey .so just look at your own countries İf you want to visit,you can come ıts history of anotolıa just accept .ıts mix of so many different nations .you can proud that you ancestors was also in there
I love this information. Fascinating. I will never see these myself, unless I hit the lottery, so I very much appreciate and enjoy these videos, and Ancient Aliens as well. It might not all be the truth, but that is up to us to discern and establish for ourselves. Great information! Thank you Penn!
Is Gobekli Tepe really 5000 years older than Stonehenge, or is it a hint that the dating of other megalithic period architecture needs to be reconsidered? For example, Inca and Egyptian additions to megalithic foundations seem to indicate that enough time passed to cause complete societal amnesia in building techniques. The additions are incredibly more primitive than the foundations, and world-wide, the megaliths seem more related to each other than to succeeding cultures.
By that logic, Gobekli Tepe could be dated wrong. Is it dated by Strata? There's certainly no pottery down there. Some archeologists have argued for an 8,000bc date, which would make it about 10,000 years old.
Could be confused but thought they used carbon dating on animal bones, wood found at the sight...
Yes. Central Asia makes the most sense as the archeological hotspot for humanity because we would have been stuck there for thousands of years before the glaciers melted and we spread out into the rest of the world. That’s if the out of Africa theory is correct.
Fantastic overview, and well presented and delivered. I wish I knew of all this sooner and when I still could see to travel and enjoy the history. This was almost as good as being there, thank you.
good information. i look forward to more of your lectures.
Please make a lecture about the totems of ancient USA
Great lecture !..
Very nice Thank You
Very informative... ty
Thank you Penn Museum for this informative video. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💖
For some commentors:
Kerp calm, enjoy history & Stop being a racist!
We are fed up hearing, reading Eurocentic, politically led historians, archeologists who wrote Anatolia's history on behalf of certain nations like Greece. As if they did not sail across Aegean to colonise Anatolia, they are shown as they are originated in Anatolia not mainland Greece. Before Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans,.... there were Luwians, Hittites, Trojans, Phyrigians, Lycians (Luccas as Hittites call them)...were already living in Anatolia.
Please take your own advice and stay calm.
Thank you.
THE title "New Discoveries in Ancient Turkey" is wrong
Turks came in asia minor at 13th AC century
At least 1071. You need to be really massively ignorant to say 13th century
Great information thanks
the wooden chamber paintings are similiar to etrusk tomb paintings...thank you for this amazing news...
Klaus Schimdt was the ARCHEOLOGIST of Gobekli Tepe. He himself said this construction was around the same time agriculture was developed. Professor, how do you have the right to lecture others when you can't even accurately describe the region you are talking about. Please explain ancient Turkey. Turkey was only in existence some the 1920's. Turks were in the region during the period of the Crusades. Ancient Turks are from Mongolia. Asia Minor would be the correct description of the region, or as is has been called since time immemorial.... The Armenian Highlands, in the east of Asia Minor.
As a professor you need to educate your students accurately. Your students are your 20 year old self, will believe what you say and not know how to reply to misinformation.
100%!!
I love going over to the Penn Museum, they always have something fascinating going on. The archeology students and Profs. are great when you have questions, they truly love what they're doing. Today they have a tour exploring ancient foods, that's gonna be a pretty cool afternoon, the food is vastly different from the crap available to us now, I love attempting to reproduce it, my wife not so much!! If you are fairly close and have never been there, I highly recommend it, It's a great family outing. Thank you so much for posting this lecture, very informative and totally captivates my young son, that says a lot!
Great lecture. Thank you for posting it
The ancient Greek texts tell us that once the Moon did not exist in the sky. Lukosura, in the mountainous Arcadia of Greece, the first city to see the sunlight on Earth, says "it was founded when there was no Moon in Heaven."
The ancient Arcadians are called "pro-mooners" because they were in this area before the Moon in the sky appeared.
Speaking on this issue are Stephanos Byzantios, Hesychios from Alexandria, Herodotus, the dictionary of Souda, Apollonios of Rhode, Hippias from Rigion, Ovidius, Plutarch, Ephandros and others.
This is the truth indeed!
New discoveries of ancient civilization in what is now called Turkey. Better, or not?
Not really
Love these lectures from Penn!
How did it look at the height of Classical Greek culture? Is that ca 400 BC? Greeks made such beautiful sites.
This is great!
Thank you for posting, Good lecture.
k Tor :To the doctor.FAAAAAAST
I love how one quote special boy makes history for a hundred years unobtainable!
Unobtainium?
All scientists can't be stupid. Why do the refer to Stonehenge as ancient. The were put there a long time ago, but they weren't arranged as they are now. In fact a middle age manuscript describes Stonehenge as a rectangular looking cathedral. Stonehenge was put up the way it looks today in the 20th century with the first construction starting on 1901. The last stone was put into place in 1958-59. The stones are in place by modern concrete.
Thank you for sharing us with this amazing and wonderful lecture. it is interesting to see such types of discoveries in the ancient place of Turkey. Actually, I am from Ethiopia and when I heard this it creates something in mind what an interesting site is it? hopefully, we are waiting to come up with other new discoveries within the site.
thank you for posting this lecture. it would be interesting if you did an out of place artifacts display. it would draw large crowds. i would be willing to travel from ohio to see such a presentation.
at 37:07...he describes a coin from the first century..saying '' holding the globe of the world''
wait...u do realize what does this mean right????
...that they weren't as stupid as we are as a society today?
Sure, I do: you haven't been paying attention.
Yes, the western world has believed the earch was spherical for 2500 years.
Lol! That they worshipped the great Satan?!?

Spindles are used for hand spinning fiber into yarn/thread. Shuttles are used in weaving to carry the weft thread through a warp shed. Sheeeze!
Is this supposed to be a scientific lecture? Because its very title is historically wrong! There is no such thing as ANCIENT Turkey. In ancient times the Turks were nomads living in Mongolia! They descended in this mediterranean area - called ASIA MINOR back then - which they militarily occupied as late as the 15th century! Just notice that NONE of the findings is Turkish but neolithic, hittite, greek, byzantine, roman etc
Thomas Gazis These type of programmed professionals always lie, and I think most of us are realizing this. It's like here in America, we have many ancient sites that the government chose to put buildings on top of, or golf courses and stole every ancient artifact with both Egyptian and Phoenician writing, and now claim it was all stolen. I have a feeling the truth is, we all had the same knowledge - someone,was teaching the world. There is no other way to explain America once having Egyptian artifacts.
Thomas Gazis we are not Mongolian fk sake
Thomas Gazis there are many findings of turkish ruins also. U should research more.
Yeah if you had any idea about genetics you wouldn't say that, most of people living in asia minor are the descendants of ancient peoples of the region also, they've been turkified.

It would be nice to put the slides on full screen instead of the stage, screen, and speaker.
Shut up
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Camera show have zoomed in on the slides more...
with the growth of alt culture Islam. I think leaving items that are stored I other countries should not be returned until there is no chance that the items can be targeted for destruction.
Thousands of items have been destroyed by Islam the last 20 years. it is not unreasonable to continue protective custody of these irreplaceable items. This may take several years if not generations to ensure the items will not be destroyed by anti cultural savages in the areas they currently or in the future occupy.

Great, enjoyable lecture, thanks !.
The problem with "mainstream" theories is that they are just theories.
Correction ancient turkey does not exist. Turkey’s entire existence is only about 500-900 years old. So how can you call ancient Anatolia which saw empires rise and fall by the hundreds ancient turkey which shouldn’t even be where it is turks should be in Central Asia.
There was an ancient Anatolia but not an ancient Turkiye. The Turkish incursion did not began until after the Battle of Manzikert 1071 AD. I know that you know this!

Genesis 10:8-12 (Torah)
8) Kush (Nubia, Sudan, Ethiopia) begot Nimrood: and he became a warrior/tyrant upon the earth.
Nimrood ruled from Mesopotamia all the way to India he was from North Sudan.The people out of North Sudan a part of the Kush Empire was where the men were very tall and strong Nimrood came from there. These people are mentioned by Isaiah in 18:2. These people were known to be a fierce warrior class.
Nimrood was known by many different names, here is a list of some just to name a few: Gilgamesh, Baal, Belus, Melcartth, Adonis, Eshmun, Dumuzi, Dionysus, Bacchus, Orion, Mithra, Apollo, Ra, Tammuz, Osiris, Titan, Hercules.
9) He was a warrior hunter in the face of the Most High: therefore it is said, like Nimrood the warrior hunter in God’s face.
10) And the first of his kingdom was Babel (East Africa), Erekh, Akkad, (city north of Iraq) and Calneh, in the land of Shinar
(Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia). A term applied to Babylon, encompassing central Iraq that ran from Dijibouti, Eritrea, bab-el-mandeb to Yemen covering eastern Africa. This city was not in Babylon but was a province of Babylon in East Africa in Djibouti and surrounding regions.
11) From that land he went to Asshur, (Regions of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran), and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: that is the principal city.
Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson was convinced that there was a relationship between the Sumerians and Africans. As a result he used two African languages: one Semitic and the other Kushitic to decipher the cuneiform writing. Rawlinson was sure that the ancient Nubians and Puntites founded Mesopotamian civilization.(1)
The Sumerians came from the Sahara before it became a desert. Affinities exist between Nubia ware and pottery from Ennedi and Tibesti.
These Saharan people were round-headed ancient Mediterranean type. They were often referred to as Cafsa or Capsians; a group of people not devoid of negroid characteristics according to J Desanges.(11) Wyatt MacGaffey, claims that the term “Mediterranean” is an anthropological euphemism for “Negro”.
The boats of the Saharan people are similar to those found on ancient engravings of boats in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Many of the boats found in the eastern desert of Egypt and among the Red Sea Hills show affinities to Mesopotamian models.
The Sumerians and Elamites often referred to themselves as “ksh”. For example the ancient Sumerians called their dynasty “Kish”. The words “kish”, “kesh” and “kush” were also names for ancient Nubia-Sudan.
The Elamites also came from Kush. According to the classical writer Strabo, Susa the centre of the Elamite civilization was founded by Tithonus, king of Kush.
B.B. Lal has shown conclusively that the Dravidians came from Nubia and were related to the C-Group people who founded the Kerma dynasty.(3) They both used a common black-and-red ware (BRW) which Lal found was analogous to ceramics used by the megalithic people in India who also used analogous pottery signs identical to those found in the corpus of Indus Valley writing. (4)
Singh believes that this pottery spread from Nubia, through Mesopotamia and Iran southward into India.(5) The earliest examples of this BRW date to the Amratian period (c4000-3500 B.C.).
Africa is not only the birthplace of humanity, it is also the birthplace of human civilization. Most people are aware that the Pharaonic civilization of ancient Egypt is one of the world’s oldest and longest-lasting. However, the nation of Ta-Seti predated Egyptian civilization.
According to Our Weekly, in 1962, a research team headed by Keith C. Seele, director of the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition, discovered a Pharaonic dynasty in Nubia that predated the first Pharaonic period in Kemet (Egypt). The area extended from northern Sudan to southern Kemet; in some literature it was referred to as ancient Ethiopia, or as in the Bible, Kush. Today, it is called Ta-Seti.
On March 1, 1979, The New York Times carried a front page article by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: “Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest.”
In the article, Rensberger wrote: “Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia.” He estimated that “The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC.”
Google: (The bust of Narmer Menes) the first king of Kemet/Egypt. (He looks like what we today would identify as a Sudanese or Nigerian African).

In Genesis we first meet Abraham and his family in Mesopotamia, but their ancestors were from Kush or ancient Nubia.
Abraham's family resided in the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley because that is where Nimrod built a vast kingdom.

I must also add that the term Asia only refers to the name of a geographical location of which a certain group of ancient "Africans" lived......these are the indigenous peoples of this geographical region we now call Asia.....Hence the term "Afro-Asiatic" and "Asiatic-Africans"........meaning Africans were indigenous to this region as well.
( Hamitic Africans-Kushites/Canaanites) and (Shemetic Africans-black Hebrews/black Arabs)
Asia in early ancient times was considered an extension of Africa a sister continent so to speak.....because of the very early waves of African migrations and dominance into Asia.

The founders of the first Mesopotamian civilization were Black Sumerians. Mesopotamia was the Biblical land of Shinar (Sumer). The Sumerians left no doubt to how they viewed themselves racially. The Sumerians called themselves sag-gig-ga, the Black headed people. Sumer was at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. While Sumer was not a homogenous society, the Blackheads of Sumer were politically and socially dominant. (Introduction to the Study of African Classical Civilizations by Runoko Rashidi, London: Karnak House, 1992, pg. 69)
Sumer was the earliest ancient civilization of west Asia. Sumer was the foundation of the later civilizations of Babylonia and Chaldea. The Sumerian civilization, which ruled the southern portion of the fertile Tigris/Euphrates River Valley, sprang up around 3000 B.C. and lasted until about 1750 B.C.
The Sumerians are often describes as “non-Semitic”, “pre-Semitic”, or “non-Indo-European.” But what does that really mean? These are attempts to veil the fact that the Sumerians were black people. Historians are willing to use any ambiguous terms they can to cloud the true racial origins of the Sumerians.
John Baldwin wrote: “The early colonists of Babylonia were of the same race as the inhabitants of the Upper Nile.” (PreHistoric Nations by John D. Baldwin, New York: Harper & Brothers, 1869, pg. 192)
H.G. Wells said that the “Sumerians appear to have been a brownish people with prominent noses.” (A Short History of the World by H.G. Wells, New York: MacMillan, 1922, pg. 75) Sir Arthur Keith said that the Sumerians were dolichocephalic. (Mohenjo-Daro and the Indus Civilization: Being an Official Account of Archeological Excavations at Mohenjo-Daro Carried out by the Government of India Between the Years 1922 and 1927 by John W. Marshall, New Delhi: Asian Educational Services, 1996, pg. 109) Dolichocephalism is a skull characteristic predominately found in blacks. (The African Origin of Civilization by Cheikh Anta Diop, Chicago: Lawrence Hill Books, 1974, pg. 261)
Based on the statuaries and steles of Babylonia, the Sumerians were “of dark complexion (chocolate colour), short stature, but of sturdy frame, oval face, stout nose, straight hair, full head; they typically resembled the Dravidians, not only in cranium, but almost in all the details.” (A Study in Hindu Social Polity by Chandra Chakaberty, Delhi: Mittal Publications, 1987, pg. 33)
Rudolph Windsor emphatically stated: “There is definitely a blood relationship between the Dravidian tribes of India and the Ethiopian Sumerians.” (From Babylon to Timbuktu by Rudolph R. Windsor. Atlanta: Windsor’s Golden Series, 2203, pg. 17)
There were so many black people in ancient Asia that Herbert Wendt wrote: “All indications point to the fact that Asia was the cradle of the black race.” (It Began in Babel by Herbert Wendt. New York: Delta Dell Publishing Company, 1964, pg. 368.)
The Black people of Egypt certainly influenced the Sumerians. The seeds of civilization in Sumeria passed through Egypt. Albert Churchward said that the Sumerians, Chaldeans and Babylonians obtained all their laws and learning from the Egyptians. (Signs & Symbols of Primordial Man by Albert Churchward, Brooklyn:A&B Books Publishers, 1993, pg. 209) Therefore, we can trace the roots of the Sumerian society back to Africa and black people.
The ancient country of Sumer was located in the southern part of the modern state of Iraq. In early times, Sumerians like Egyptians, were fastidious about cleanliness, and like the Egyptians, they were for the most part “Head Shavers”. However, unlike the Egyptians, they did not wear wigs to cover their shaved heads, they seem to have preferred wearing caps. It is not known if they also practiced circumcision, as did the Egyptians.
Ibn Khaldun, who lived in the 13th century, a respected authority on Berber history testified about the Black Jews of Western Sudan with whom he personally interacted.
The famous muslim geographer al-Idrisi, born in Ceuta, Spain in the 12th century, wrote extensively about Jewish Negroes in the Western Sudan.
Black Jews were fully integrated and achieved pre-eminence in many West African kingdoms. For instance Jews were believed to have settled in great West African empires such as Songhai, Mali, Ghana and Kanem-Bornu empires.
According to numerous accounts of contemporary visitors to the region several rulers, and administrators of the Songhai empire were of Jewish origins until Askia Muhammad came to power in 1492 and decreed that all Jews either convert to Islam or leave the region.

--Gerald Massey, English writer and author of the book, Egypt the Light of the World, wrote, "The dignity is so ancient that the insignia of the Pharaoh evidently belonged to the time when Egyptians wore nothing but the girdle of the Negro." (p 251)
--Sir Richard Francis Burton, a 19th century English explorer, writer and linguist in 1883 wrote to Gerald Massey, "You are quite right about the "AFRICAN" origin of the Egyptians. I have 100 human skulls to prove it."
Scientist, R. T. Prittchett, states in his book The Natural History of Man, "In their complex and many of the complexions and in physical peculiarities the Egyptians were an "AFRICAN" race (p 124-125).
--The Ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the 5th century B.C.E., saw the Egyptians face to face and described them as black-skinned with woolly hair.
--Anthropologist, Count Constatin de Volney (1727-1820),spoke about the race of the Egyptians that produced the Pharaohs. He later paid tribute to Herodotus' discovery when he said:
The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans.
That being so, we can see how their blood mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of it's original color, while retaining none the less the imprint of it's original mold.
We can even state as a general principle that the face (referring to The Sphinx) is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest to or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of the people."
-A Roman historian named Tacitus who lived about C.E. 90 said, "Many assert that the Hebrews are a RACE OF ETHIOPIAN ORIGINS." (Book V, Chap. 2)
Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees (Gen. 11, 31) Godfrey Higgins, a careful and reliable English antiquary says, “The Chaldees were originally "Negroes.”
(Anacalypsis, Vol. II, p. 364. New York, 1927)
--The Koran reads: “And he (Moses) drew forth his hand out of his bosom and behold it appeared white unto the spectators.” (Chap. Vii, p. 128) “And put thy right hand under thy left arm; it shall come forth white.” (Sale: Al Koran, p. 257. 1784.)
Sale adds: “There is a tradition that Moses was a very swarthy man.” (p. 128)
Sir T.W. Arnold says, “According to Mohammedan tradition, Moses was a black man.” (The Preaching of Islam, p. 106. Westminster, 1896.)
--They all had Abyssinian features according to Charles L. Brace 1862 p.185 the races of the Old World. "They were as dark as the black Jews of Abyssinia..." (ibid.)
The Jews of Arabia were the same and in particular the Kohanim of Khaibar are described as "people whose color is closer to black than any other" color by Ludovico Bartema an Italian of the 16th century.
In a Midrash: "The black people will come out of Egypt, Kush will stretch its hands to God"
Church Father Theodore of Mopsuestia says above the Shulamite bride in the 'Song of Songs': "She was black like all the Egyptians and Ethiopians."
Church Father Origen Adamantius says of the Egyptians: "They are the discolored (black) posterity of Ham"
--What serves to confirm the ethnic reality depicted
by Judah's Assyrian conquerers is the discovery of an ossuary at Lachish dated to the time of the
conquest.
It is the largest sample of Israelite remains and comes from a city that was populated the previous 500 years by Israelites.
695 crania of all ages and both genders were uncovered.
D. L. Risdon in BIOMETRIKA 1939 31:99-166 reports
the Lachish cranial series has its closest resemblance
to the 4th dynasty series from Deshasheh and Medum
in Lower Egypt and the 18th dynasty samples from Thebes and Abydos in Upper Egypt.
Cranial samples from other
Palestinian sites (Gezer, Megiddo) agree with the Lachish cranium.
Thus we have a clear African "racial" continuum in the Hebrews and Egyptians.

From Arabia we have these descriptions from early Western explorers:
“The inhabitants of this part of Arabia nearly all belong to the race of Himyar. Their complexion is almost as black as the Abyssinians,”
-- Baron von Maltzan, 'Geography of Southern Arabia' (1872)
“ [the Hamida are] small chocolate colored beings, stunted and thin… with mops of bushy hair… straggling beards , vicious eyes, frowning brows … armed with scabbards slung over the shoulder and Janbiyyah daggers…” a people “of the great Hejazi tribe that has kept his blood pure for the last 13 centuries…”
--Sir Richard Burton (1879)
“The people of Dhufar are of the Qahtan tribe, the sons of Joktan mentioned in Genesis: they are of Hamitic or African rather than Arab types…”
--Arnold Wilson, The Geographical Journal (1927)
“the most prosperous tribe of all the Hamitic group, possessing innumerable camels, herds of cattle and the richest frankincense country. They resemble the Bisharin tribe of the Nubian desert. Men of big bone , they have long faces long narrow jaws, noses of a refined shape long curly hair and brown skin.”
--Richmond Palmer (1929)
“Mahra is the Arab name for the Bedouin tribes who are different in appearance to other Arabs, having almost beardless faces, fuzzy hair and dark pigmentation - such as the Qarra, Mahra and Harasis… Also on “…the Qarra, Mahra and Harasis with parts of other tribes.
The language is derived from the language of the Sabaeans, Minaeans and Himyarites. The Mahra with other Southern Arabian peoples seem aligned to the Hamitic race of north-east Africa… The Mahra are believed to be descended from the Habasha, who colonized Ethiopia in the first millennium BC”
-- David Phillips, Peoples on the Move (2001)
“European observers have made much of their physical resemblance to Somalis and Ethiopians, but there is no historical evidence of any connections.”
-- E. Peterson, 'Oman’s Diverse Society: Southern Oman'
And scholars have long noted:
“Mr. Baldwin draws a marked distinction between the modern Mahomedan Semitic population of Arabia and their great Cushite, Hamite, or Ethiopian predecessors. The former, he says, ‘are comparatively modern in Arabia,’ they have ‘appropriated the reputation of the old race,’ and have unduly occupied the chief attention of modern scholars.” -- Charles Hardwick (1872)
“Among ‘these Negroid features which may be counted normal in Arabs are the full,rather everted lips, shortness and width of nose, certain blanks in the bearded areas of the face between the lower lip and chin and on the cheeks; the large luscious gazelle-like eyes, a dark brown complexion, and a tendency for the hair to grow in ringlets.
Often the features of the more Negroid Arabs are derivatives of Dravidian India rather than inheritances of Hamitic Africa.
Although the Arab of today is sharply differentiated from the Negro of Africa, yet there must have been a time when both were represented by a single ancestral stock; in no other way can the prevalence of certain Negroid features be accounted for in the natives of Arabia.”
-- Henry Field, Anthropology Memoirs Volume 4 (1902)
“The Cushites. the first inhabitants of Arabia, are known in the national traditions by the name of Adites, from their progenitor, who is called Ad, the grandson of Ham.”
-- F. Lenormant (1922)
“There is a considerable mass of evidence to show that there was a very close resemblance between the proto-Egyptians and the Arabs before either became intermingled with Armenoid racial elements.”
-- Elliot Smith, the Ancient Egyptians and the Origins of Civilization (1923)
“In Arabia the first inhabitants were probably a dark-skinned, shortish population intermediate, between the African Hamites and the Dravidians of India and forming a single African Asiatic belt with these.”
-- Handbook of the Territories which form the Theater of Operations of the Iraq Petroleum Company Limited and its Associated Companies
great Vid thanks
No such thing as ancient Turkey.
Just like Montenegro being used to describe the Balkan tribes? Or do you mean Illyria? NFI nothing to substantiate that battle took place in Montenegro just avoiding mentioning Croatia or BiH
Ancient Turkey? How can that be? Turkey was established in 1923. There is nothing ancient about Turkey. Either you say "Asia Minor" or "present-day Turkey". If one thing is incorrect, everything else is suspect. but I understand. If you don't say Turkey you will be cut off.
Yes, there should a clarification at the beginning discussing all the ancient civilizations that contributed to these ruins. Have been to some of these ruins 38 years ago and loved it. During this time Jews lived here due to the diaspora caused by many conquering armies. Many peoples. The country of Turkey has many fascinating cultures that preceded the current boundary lines. It does sound a little like the British taking claim to the artifacts of North America.
Finally Penn accepts the more unique time lines of human society...Slow but willing.
Yes. I'm so happy they finally discovered the Garden of Eve... Feeling blessed. :)
Hoping one day we will find an inscription that mentions Helen
This is where Noah Shem ham and japheth started planting after the flood. The Ark only settle a little ways away at Mount Ararat right by there
It looks to me to be a temple of totems,primitve people first believed in their totem animals, a type of animism
@ Carol Geard _ Well, it seems tempting to think that whoever lived before our times must have been primitive, animistic etc. The further in the past, the more so. Possibly our idea of "progress" is constructed as a self-fulfilling train of thought: all religions "evolve" up to the elevated form of monotheism, all technologies peak at steam-and-electricity, atomic energy gives us divine powers etc. Yet, when you try reading e.g. rather "old" Sumerian texts, or Babylonian poetry, you will see that their mind-set was hardly different from ours, and their life styles were not lacking in terms of convinience, affluence, or sophistication. Moreover, there still seems to linger an idea that they had access to knowledge (and possibly technologies) yet unmatched by us. The time may tell; but things seem to be changing even now.
An excellent theory that should be considered.
Enjoyed the lecture.
Excellent lecture , but , there is no ancient Turkey.
Ancient Armenia... Not Turkey or Anatolia... You call yourself's scientist and not know basic history... Turkey is only a few hundred years old and Armenia predates Anatolia...So sad to see such treasures just attached to the people who killed and stole the actual people's land... And the Armenians are not even mentioned... So sad
Why not zoom in a bit more.
geocedille ópppo
There is not ancient Turkey. You have to be very serious and precise about the names that carries history of the people and the lands. There is at least Anatolia if you don't want to say the names of really ancient civilizations of Anatolia.
Can't wait what spin "Ancient Aliens" will put on this :D
Why? Are you a tool?
?
@@BeardLAD for real!! 🤣
@@MisskJ1221 damnnnn you got told! Haha
Think about this. When this was built Mammoths still roamed the earth.
281 mainstream academic archeologists DISSED THIS. Anno 04/20/20.
If you're looking for a good explanation of Göbekli Tepe and not this, search for Peters & Schimdt work of 2004: 'Animals in the symbolic world of Pre-Pottery Neolithic Göbekli Tepe, south-eastern Turkey: a preliminary assessment'. It's online in Scholar Google and it's the best on the subject. IMO, of course.
Ancient Turkey???? according to history Ancient Turkey was Tribes far far east.
stefanos2691 : I Think Macedonia is part of New Republic of Macedonia and the Greeks have occupied it.
Not that far, it was only on the other side of the Caspian.
They have no idea the age of these ruins
"Hey, I know all this stuff seems to prove the bible is true...but it's not,... o..k.?.... no, really... I'm not kidding. ... " -- "Caveat Emptor
annieladysmith 😂 really which part?? All of it?? The part that says to stone your daughters? The part where Jesus warns us about Satan ?? Or wait he never mentions him 😂. Where is the part about the council of Nicea where no christians made a book up to control the dumbass people and make them obey! Hahaha god save your soul...oooh wait there is no god
Rich Finn they can’t spell whether correctly, I’m sure they don’t read much and certainly not their bible. LoL
@@KNemo1999 that understanding is out dated.. iron has been around 3000BCE
on top of the T pillars at Gobeleki are numerous cup-shaped indentations, almost nobody will talk about them or show you a picture.
If a professor and his colleagues label these finds in ‘ancient Turkey’, imagine the misinformation that infects those who have no idea.
Odd camera angle! Also, just wanted to add the requisite complaint for every lecture video posted: that the camera that was left alone to record the event passively also use its own discretion to zoom in on the projections on the screen on the stage at times that would suit all possible complainants. Fanx.
Turkey is amazing
If you make a video please take care the equipement work propperly and the camera have to zoom in on the pictures ! !!! Also the audio is poor.
you love it!
What is zoom in? Maybee you should do video on this.
LOL.. Looks like the nationalists below never made it past the title..
LOL. DON'T EVEN HAVE TO!!!
The turks are new to anatolia and have nothing to do with any ancient artifacts in the region!
How do people like this guy get these jobs? They're constantly making outrageous assumptions. For one, he flat out says the flooding of the Black Sea is *not* the origin of the flood story of Noah's Ark. But he has no possible way of knowing that. That's just a completely wild guess, nothing more. But he also says Gobekli Tepe has *the earliest* such structures, when the actual discovery of Gobekli Tepe itself proves we didn't know before and it's incredibly likely we still have no idea what the earliest is.
Earliest known.
