Lamanites in Africa: the Lemba tribe

[_karl61]

this is why we can't find them here is because they got on another boat trying to get back and end up going to Africa:likely didn't have the compass or the stone. who goofed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemba

"They also have a tradition of being a migrant people with clues pointing to an origin in the Middle East. According to the oral history of the Lemba, their ancestors were Jews who left Judea about 2,500 years ago and settled in a place called Sena, later to further migrate into East Africa"

If you think about it MA&D would go MAD with intellectual orgies over this issue.

Not only do they claim to be of Jerish ancestry...

...Drumroll please...

Their DNA PROVES they do!

A team of geneticists has found that many Lemba men carry in their male chromosome a set of DNA sequences that is distinctive of the cohanim, the Jewish priests believed to be the descendants of Aaron. The priestly genetic signature is particularly common among Lemba men who belong to the senior of their 12 groups, known as the Buba clan.

So there ya go. Distinct genetic tests that prove Jewish ancestry.

everything fits except one thing - they are in Africa not America and oh, the gold plates thingy too. I don't think they found any over there.
