<b>Telugu words found in Hebrew literature</b>

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Ms. Samyuktha, who is doing her research on `Andhra Pradesh - <b>The missing link - Tilmun language and Telugu', said a 1794 BC stone tablet established that the Sumerian-Assyrian culture had its roots in Andhra Pradesh. </b>

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Quoting several such examples Ms. Samyuktha said there was sufficient proof to link those Sumerian cultures with the Telugus. Hebrew, Sumerian and Assyrian records abound in such descriptions and suggest that the <b>present Israelis belonged to Andhra Pradesh</b>.

Ms. Samyuktha argues that Kamakur village in Balayapalli mandal of Nellore district still has 21 Jewish families. <b>Only they are not even aware that they are Jews. She is one among them </b>and her first name Kooniah could be found in Hebrew as Koni, she says.

So they were Jews even before Judaism was founded in Israel by Andhras?
