If I told you that the current #Thai writing script has its origins in what we today call the ‘Middle East’, would you believe it? Well, the #Brahmi script originated in #India around the same time that the #Moriya#tribe (which lived around the #Kosala River) governed the #Maurya Empire (320 BC – 185 BC). The Brahmi script derived from #Aramaic, which in turn derived all the way back to the #writing system of Ta-Merau (see: An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary, 1920) which was the local name of the #ancient#Egyptian people.
Furthermore, #Mauretania (Land of the #Mauri people) was the name for Northwestern #Africa from modern-day #Morocco until #Tunesia. The polity developed around 225 BC when #Baga became ‘King of Mauretania’. He was from the #Amazigh tribe (which was later renamed #Berber peoples). Mauri eventually became Moor!
So, you have the Moor developing in the #West and the Moriya (Maurya) developing in the #East and it linked to Ta-Merau.

In the #Levant, you had another tribe called the #Amorites and this relates to the mountain-area called #Moriah (#Moriya or #Marwah) where #Abraham almost sacrificed #Isaac.
