After my mastectomy it became a relaxation time for me. I do not understand your policy concerning images.Why you do not allow public to download images for private use? An institution such as yours should have respect for open knowledge and sharing. All these manuscripts should be in a public domain and your attitude is utterly distressing and disappointing! Please reply. Regards, NB. German libraries responed very kindly to my mail. Dear Sirs,

I am an Orthodox Christian woman, 58 years old who discovered the beauty of manuscripts and I am doing research for private use only.

After my mastectomy it became a relaxation time for me.

I do not understand your policy concerning images.Why you do not allow public to download images for private use?

An institution such as yours should have respect for open knowledge and sharing.

All these manuscripts should be in a public domain and your attitude is utterly distressing and disappointing!

Please reply.

There are studies which prove there was a migration of Kushites into Eurasia and there were prehistoric back migrations from Asia into Africa. “Notably, 62% of the Ethiopians fall in the first cluster, which encompasses the majority of the Jews, Norwegians and Armenians, indicating that placement of these individuals in a ‘Black’ cluster would be an inaccurate reflection of the genetic structure. Only 24% of the Ethiopians are placed in the cluster with the Bantu and most of the Afro-Caribbeans.” (Passarino et al. 1998) Armenians have also been known for at least 1000 years as the Amalekites of the bible which were present in North Africa and Southern Arabia and were said to have migrated north and settled in present day Armenia.
