 The Berber Iberians.
:                         The Berbers of northern Africa speak a non - Indo -
: European language that is distantly related to Arabic . At the height of the

rather it is afro-asiatic which includes among its families berber and
semitic.

: last Ice Age , about 17,000 B.C, sea levels were 130 meters lower than today
: , because so much water was frozen in ice sheets and glaciers . When the Ice
: Age ended and many glaciers and ice sheets melted away , the sea levels rose
: again . At the height of the last Ice Age , land bridges , near land bridges
: , islands and archipelagos were formed at various places around the earth .
: Where the straits of Gibraltar are now , there was a near land bridge , as
: there also was between Sicily and what is now Tunisia , with the islands of
: Malta , Lampedusa , Lampione and Pantelleria forming remnants of the

there were land bridges in the mediteranean basin long before modern
humans.

: prehistoric Ice Age land bridge , along with the shallow waters or "banks"
: called the Adventure Bank and Skerki Bank . The narrower water distances
: were crossed by dugouts and primitive sailing rafts , since land was in
: sight of each other , especially when viewed from a mountain on a clear and
: then unpolluted day . At the time of the last Ice Age , the Sahara desert
: was a savannah light woodland , and the Atlas mountains of northwest Africa
: still has moderate snowfall on the highest peaks , and some uncleared
: forests , as do the mountains of Lebanon . The Berbers crossed over on these
: near land bridges to southern Europe . Other land bridges existed at the
: northern half of the Adriatic sea , at the straits of Istanbul , at the
: Hellespont strait , and at the straits of Dover . The Bsaques , who speak a
: non - Indo - European language , speak a language related to Berber and the
: Georgian language of the Caucasus . The Indo - Europeans originally came

basque is not related to berber or georgian (both not related among
themselves either).

some linguists posit a distant relationship to north caucasian langauges
(once thought to be related to georgian but no longer thought to be so,
ressemblances are due to contact).

: from the lands north of the Black and Caspian seas , and as they migrated
: into southern and western Europe , they conquered and enslaved the Berbers
: living there , with whom they {*filter*}ly intermingled with over the succeeding
: generations , since their Indo - European slave masters wanted their half -
: caste offspring of mixed ancestry to become a slave labour force . That is

where did you get this crap?

: why South Africa has such a large coloured or mixed race population today .
: The Indo - European or Aryan Sanskrit language of northern India , Pakistan
: , Afghanistan , and Iran is related to the Indo - European language of
: Latvia and Lithuania . From around 1,500 B.C. onwards , the Iranian [ Iran
: means "land of the Aryans" ] nomadic hor{*filter*} and nomadic herders began
: migrating from what is now the Cossack country of the Ukraine and southern
: Russia as invaders into what is now Iran , Afghanistan , Pakistan , and
: northern India , enslaving and concubining with the Arabic - like [ in

what on earth is the relevance of arabic for these regions for the time
you talking about! by the way arabic is a language, not a people, you
can't "concubine" etc. with arabic.

: physical appearance ] Elamites of Iran and the dark - brown Dravidians of
: India .
: Heinrich Himmler , the leader of the Nazi S.S , thought that the Japanese

or simply because it was politically expedient to think so. nazi {*filter*}is
irrelevant.

: were undercover Aryans , probably because the Japanese had invented many of
: the martial arts , and the Japanese over the generations had intermarried
: with the Ainu . Although the Ainu have some European physical features ,
: there language is not Indo - European . The Japanese language belongs to the
: Altaic language family , which also includes Korean , Manchurian , and

OK. though controversially.

: Mongolian . Judo has been a compulsory subject in Japanese schools since the
: early 1900's . The punching and kicking division of judo , called atemiwaza
: , may only be used in training and self - defense , but never in judo
: sporting competitions . During the second world war , when low on ammunition
: , Japanese soldiers would often attack with a banzai bayonet charge .

this is completely irrelevant to language. martial arts came from china,
as I know.

BTW, are you a net-loon?
