Sabteca

From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Sabteca (Hebrew: סבתּכא, Sabtekâ‘) was a son of Cush listed in Genesis 10:7. Identified by Josephus as the Sabactens, Sabteca's descendants appear to have settled in south Arabia, the modern Yemen.

There is a tribe in India called the Todas, and another in northern Borneo called the Tegos. The Todas "differ remarkably" in physical appearance to the average southern Indian according to a definitive work on The Todas - they are not only lighter in skin colour (a rich brown complexion) but, also do not have as broad a nose. They are so famous for their cattle cult that anthropologist Carleton Coon compares their cattle culture with that of the East Africans.
