To Me it makes sense
It’s not a far jump to be able to see how many ancient rulers could have been of African decent. When you look at the relationship between North Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, and other ancient kingdoms in Africa. Of they would have been present in Eurasia! It’s common sense. I am having more difficulty figuring out Australia. Does the author mean the appearance of aboriginal Australians?

Very Good Quality 👍🏾
Color: Gold Polished, Color: Gold Polished
Good quality. Study with some weight to it. Was pleasantly surprised at how good this looks. The gold color is very shiny which is what I was looking for. The base is large enough to hold a thick roll of Viva paper towels.
