![Frank Snowden, an Afro-American
Classical scholar from Harvard University,
notes that elelments in the population of
Etruria (Etrusca) allied with Hannibal (Pic.
No. 1 ... 241 BC - 181 BC) in the Punic
Wars [1]. He gives this as a reason for
the appearance of Carthagian coins of
Africans (Pics. 6, 7, 8). It is in this way,
among others, that it is within reason to
see the populations of Carthgage (Pics. 1,
6, 7, 8, 10) & Etrusca (Pics. 2, 3, 4, 5) as
being shared. And similar, yet again, to
populations in Carthage’s sister cities in
today’s Tunesia and Libya (Pics 9, 11, 12).
Apparently, life was idyllic and trouble-free
down to the fourth century BC (Pics. 1 - 5).
Most quaint in the pictures here is Pic. 13
of a 5th century BC vase from Carthage
depicting a dwarf driving Herakles
(Hercules, from the Sumerian god Nergal).
Carthage’s roots thus are buried even
deeper in history than the history of the
city itself would seem to imply.

Anatolia (today’s Turkey) was African before incursions by the people of the Steppes. And, from the New York Times, April 2007, the Story of Genes Tells Us the . Etruscans are from Anatolia.
The archeological evidence of sculptures and skulls shows Anatolia was initially African.
Turkey (originally Anatolia) is basically Caucasian today. However, it began African. This page shows how population displacement while keeping former cultural traditions occured here and with this as a model, the story in Greece, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere: click.
