Found evidence of an ancient race war
New archaeological find in Northern Sudan shed light on the ancient race war. This clash between "white" and "black" race occurred 13 000 years ago.
Twenty million six hundred seventy seven thousand nine hundred eighty five
The discovery made by French and British scientists. They studied the skeletons on the West Bank of the Nile and came to the conclusion that most of these people were killed by the arrows with flint tips.
Discovered there are so many skeletons that the place is called paleontological burial site of Jebel Sahaba. However, by itself, the burial ground was opened in 1964 by the American archaeologist Fred Wendorf. But now there are only technologies that helped to shed light on the causes of death of these people.
In the past two years, the French anthropologists have studied previously unnoticed signs of impact on the bones of the dead with flint arrowheads. Based on these characteristics, scientists have suggested that all these victims were killed by enemy archers. Subsequently, the bodies were buried by their compatriots. According to a new study, such killings have occurred in this region for months and even years that allows us to classify these battles long primal war.
Nine million one hundred eighty thousand three hundred eight
All the remains belong to one ethnic group, the ancestors of modern black Africans. A lot more problems encountered by archaeologists with the identification of the race of their murderers, but on the basis of the material, archaeologists have suggested that these people represented a very different racial and ethnic group of Levantine people, who lived in North Africa (essentially, modern Europeans).
Outwardly, the two groups differed significantly among themselves: they had many linguistic and cultural differences. Africans had long limbs, rounded foreheads and broad noses, while the levantines short legs, long torsos and flatter faces.
