“All of the DNA evidence shows that ancient Americans came from the far eastern pacific rim. “

The powerpoint linked in Post 2 differs with DNA analysis to back it up.

Tsalagi is Creek, it means people who speak a different language. To be accurate you can call us Aniyunwiya.

I don’t think these translations are even close enough to count or are just a mere coincidence.

Thanks Palter.

This has been a long-term interest of mine, but a quick websearch turns up the same kind of Islamic agitprop that has polluted most of the modern world, so we need to be cautious.

One of those jackasses claims that Moslems who were part of an N.A. tribe signed a treaty with the US in the late 18th c, that it was in the Library of Congress and indisputable -- but another quick search brings up the treaty itself, and it was signed in and with Morocco.

The late Barry Fell (whom I greatly admire) got mired in association with some Libyan profs, and suddenly started to connect pre-Moslem Libyans with half the planet.

The Cherokee Syllabary
Wakalapi
12-29-2003
PowWows.com --
Your portal to Native American Tribal Culture
There is a small series of books by linguistic anthropologist Barry Fell describing correlations between some of the NDN languages and ancient languages once used in Europe and North Africa. He does not imply that we came from there, but he does strongly indicate there was peace and international commerce between our ancestors and wasicu's ancestors long before Europe experienced its Dark Ages. The controversial Bat Creek Stone is said to have been found in a Cherokee burial mound in Tennessee and on it is the inscription, "Kadosh L'YY" in a paleo-Hebrew script used around 2,000 years ago. It means "Holy unto HaSHEM (Y-H-V-H, G-d)."

According to Fell, nearly 300 Algonquin words share meanings and have similar pronunciations to their equivalents in Koine', an ancient dialect of Greek many Bible scholars believe the New Testament was originally written in (I personally believe much of it was Aramaic, aka "Chaldee"). He also claims that a sacred Creation story enchanted to him by an elder from one of the SW tribes was understood by a scholar of ancient Phoenician, and that a Shoshone man travelling in the Army recognized words in Basque as being from his own tongue. Alot of today's historians guffaw at Fell's theories, but only because they oppose the common belief that Columbus was our first European visitor. But then that wouldn't explain all the blonde haired, blue eyes fullbloods that could possibly be descended from Leif Eriksen. ;)
Fell equated a recorded oral traditional origin story, which was in an archaic version of the Zuni language, with a Semitic creation story. Here's the entire text regarding the Shoshone man who conversed with Basques:
America B.C.
by Barry Fell
(1976)
find it in a nearby library
A fascinating letter I received from a Shoshone Indian who had been traveling in the Basque country of Spain tells of his recognition of Shoshone words over there, including his own name, whose Shoshone meaning proved to match the meaning attached to a similar word by the modern Basques. Unfortunately I mislaid this interesting letter. If the Shoshone scholar who wrote to me should chance to see these words I hope he will forgive me and contact me again. The modern Basque settlers of Idaho may perhaps bring forth a linguist to investigate matters raised in this chapter. [p 173]
This one is tantalizing, because the Basque language is an isolate, unrelated to any other known "Old World" language.

This is ironic coming from a Jewish Indian..lol

Christian Identity...biggest Jews haters on the planet after Muzzies...also believe Cherokess were different.

The “Real People” they call them.

My wife was glad to hear that...she always wondered why she was special?

To: Leftism is Mentally Deranged

Actually the slide presentation is all science.

I’ll hop in on your post to make an additional footnote

As a tangential trip, the story is strong on Melungeon connection. My area is experiencing a strong interest in the Melungeon culture. Suppressed for perhaps two hundred years, people are keen to study and understand their heritage.

It started when an academic, Brent Kennedy, became ill and was hospitalized at Emory in Atlanta. There was a diagnostician who correctly diagnosed him with a disease genetically related to obscure Mediterranean cultures. That was news to him. He was raised in Southwest Virginia. Thus began his quest and the annual meetings in Kingsport of hundreds of folks who come to learn about their Melungeon heritage.

Melungeons were called racial tripartiates with one of the groups being Cherokee.

There is much more here than is revealed by a casual glance.
East Tennessee was the capitol of Cherokee land and the remote hollows and ridges were home to most of the Melungeons.

By the way, in the book by the French colonist Laudinarre in 1562, his troops visited East Tennessee on a trade mission from far away Ft Caroline at what is now Mayport, Jacksonville Beach Florida.

Wow, Mormon much? This is so much wishful thinking and bad history/lingusitics it isn’t even funny.

What is also odd, considering my connections in Classics and with UNC-CH, I have NEVER heard of the guy and classics is a small field. Makes me think he is a fringe guy rather than an accepted academic.

Also notice that he doesn’t mention he is LDS, just lists his credentials making him look like a real scholar.

But THIS is a dead giveaway that he is LDS: His latest book, Old Souls in a New World, is about an expedition of Greeks, Jews and Egyptians that inadvertently founded the Cherokee Indian nation in the third century B.C.

I looked at the list of words after I stopped laughing.

And in my expert opinion (I could list credentials but there is not enough space) the Cherokees were actually muslim.

IE: Koranu** I claim this means they were not talking about braided hair but their holy book, the koran.
