Race

[gamavor]

It is said that Noah's arc landed on Ararat and all humanity began there.

 

I don't question that. In fact, I do believe that most white people are crypto-Armenians with lost ethnic consiousness.

 

Well I'm of the opinion that Ararat is a likely origination point of the Caucasoid race, and Caucasians spread in all directions from there.

 

This is exactly what the Caucasoid white theory says whitout any reference to the Bible which I don't disagree simply because I haven't read anything else crediable enough.

 

 

The only personal issue I have with Genesis 8-17 is the age of Noah.

Ararat is a likely origination point of the Caucasoid race, and Caucasians spread in all directions from there.

 

According to the Bible, it wasn't only Caucasians, otherwise known as Japhethites. The term "Japhethite" originates from the supposed progenitor of the Caucasian race, Japheth, who was on the ark along with his two brothers, Shem (Semites) and Ham, his father, Noah, and their wives. So on the ark were the progenitors of all races. Therefore, all races spread from the Caucasus in all directions, but it was the Japhethites that inhabited the area.

In fact if you want to get more in depth with the biblical theory, Armenians are descendants of Tiras, whose tribe originally settled in northern central europe ony to travel to the south in search of more fertile land (to Thrace--the name of which is a corruption of his name) and/or Togarmah, who is brother to the supposed ancestor of the Germanic tribes. Armen, our traditional forefather, is claimed to be a close descendant

of both of these men from what I've read. Both Tiras and Togarmah are descendants of Japheth. Remnants of the name Togarmah can still be found in our culture. For instance, Torkom.

Vanetsi,

 

Semites are Caucasoid.

 

The Assyrians, Babylonians, Carthaginians, are all semites.

Looks like we have here is an anti-race teaparty with your garden variety egalitarians who say race is a social construct.

In my personal opinion, I could care less about race. I can't say that it doesn't play a role in my life-- because it has a big presence. It affects things on a subconscious level. But thats just natural selection. I don't judge people by their race. In fact, I don't even care. But it's good to know the different theories out there, just for the sake of knowledge. After all, knowledge is power.
