Archaeological things that made me happy 2

The Wijnaldum Fibula, a bow brooch from Great Frisia, was found plowed to bits. Metal detectorists and archaeologists spend years searching the fields of Wijnaldum trying to complete the brooch and to the world’s (and my) joy, the brooch was reassembled to its most complete form in 1500 years.

The garnet inlay originates from India, and two Dirham coins were found, signifying long distance trade with the East.

Just for the fun of it, can you spot Wotan’s face in the garnet inlay?

Zafira bint Iskandar

Some part of her wanted to reach for him, to smooth away the unhappiness creasing his face, to touch the scars that made him him.

'Monsters cannot become men,' she whispered instead, and the darkness hummed its agreement.

Characters: Jafar and Jasmine

Media: Aladdin (2019)

Played by: Marwan Kenzari and Naomi Scott

Setting: AD 800s, Agrabah

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Princess Jasmine is the lonely, restless daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah, desperate to become the independent ruler of the kingdom in order to help her people.

Jafar is the Sultan’s Grand Vizier, a former street thief and soldier who fought his way up the ranks but still dreams of holding the ultimate power in Agrabah, a goal that drives him to hypnotize the Sultan and drive away every one of Jasmine’s suitors.

Jafar and Jasmine’s goals are in direct conflict - both wish to become the next Sultan through different approaches - but their similar spirit and determination links them in an undeniable way. As Jasmine falls in love with the thief-turned-prince Aladdin, Jafar plots a way to take Aladdin’s magic lamp and win Jasmine as his wife. Though their destinies are irreversibly entwined, Jafar and Jasmine remain as distant and hostile towards one another as serpents in the desert.

The Ottoman Empire in the Americas

The Ottoman Empire in the Americas

“The Ottoman Empire in the Americas,” is a necessary post to establish the Moroccan presence in the Americas since the Ottoman Empire ruled Morocco. In fact, the Ottoman Empire was one of the mightiest and longest-lasting dynasties in world history. This Islamic-run superpower ruled large areas of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and North Africa for more than 600 years. The Ottoman Empire also…

What is the DNA haplogroup of modern Egyptians?

Haplogroup E1b1b1

Wikipedia (E1b1b): E-M215, also known as E1b1b and formerly E3b, is a major human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is a division of the macro-haplogroup E-M96, which is defined by the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation M215. In other words, it is one of the major patrilineages of humanity, linking from father-to-son back to a common male-line ancestor ("Y-chromosomal Adam"). It is a subject of discussion and study in genetics as well as genetic genealogy, archaeology, and historical linguistics.

The E-M215 haplogroup has two ancient branches that contain all the known modern E-M215, E-M35 and E-M281 subclades. Of the latter two, the only branch that has been confirmed in a native population outside of Ethiopia is E-M35. E-M35 in turn has two known branches, haplogroup E-V68 and haplogroup E-Z827, which contain by far the majority of all modern E-M215 carrying men. E-V68 and E-V257 have been found in highest numbers in North Africa and the Horn of Africa, but also in lower numbers in parts of the Middle East and Europe, and in isolated populations of Southern Africa.

The Study authors consider Mtdna L0 thru L4 exclusively African.

Wikipedia quote: Haplogroup L3 descendants notwithstanding, the designation "haplogroup L" is typically used to designate the family of mtDNA clades that are most frequently found in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, all non-African haplogroups coalesce onto either haplogroup M or haplogroup N, and both these macrohaplogroups are simply sub-branches of haplogroup L3. Consequently, L in its broadest definition is really a paragroup containing all of modern humanity, and all human mitochondrial DNA from around the world are subclades of haplogroup L.

repeat - and all human mitochondrial DNA from around the world are subclades of haplogroup L.

Basal J*(xJ1,J2) is found at its highest frequencies among the Soqotri/Socotra (71.4%).

The people of the Island of Soqotri/Socotra are the genetically PUREST of ALL ARABS.

This is what they look like!

Head of a man, found in Yemen around the year 0. Yemen at the time was ruled by the Sabaeans (likely the kingdom of Sheba in the Bible), who operated a trading kingdom there. The Romans called this part of the world Arabia Felix -- Happy Arabia.
