About the Watanabe surname

Watanabe family are believed to be descended from Minamoto clan,as they say,from the royal dynasty
and from emperor Saga ruling between about 563 and 507 BC ,in the so called Nara aera ,
that is equal to 783 and 842 according to the European aera or counting of years that took its
beginning from 1349 BC on,now not in us any more .

It is not clear to me ,if their estate called Watanabe was named after them,or the other way around,
what seems to be more likely .
Anyway,they may in some way be related to Otanabe tribe in the Holy Land of America near the town of
Lamas in the valley of the river Huallaga in Peru .
This tribe may be descended from Naba-Ta ,from the city of A'e-Pe-Ra-Ta ,from whom and where the people
of Nabataia and of their capital Petra ( Peaetera ) may come .He was contemporane with Shalam-Maha ,
king of Hiero-Solyma or Awar-Ra-ya-Shalam-Ma and with his father,Ed-Da-ya-Wa-Da .
Saga was ,according to family trees, descended from Jinmu ,founder of Yamato state,ruling from about
1413 until about 1372 BC .

Jinmu also might have been the grandfather of Seok T'arhae ,son of Hamdalpa ,ancestor of Tarasca people
in Michoacan,while another of his sons,Misaki,might be the ancestor of Misak people in the Cordilleras .
Tagishi-Mimim ,yet another son,may be the ancestor of Tagish tribe among the Dene and Tlingit .
Seok may be identical with A'acha-Ban-Na,who was also from Bawa-Te-Lag-Ham-me ,how Petra was
alternatively called,because Tarascas are also called Acha ,and perhaps Ban ,like Ziran-Ban ,
a Chichimeca tribe.Their language is quite similar to Chibchan,that may be a heritage from the
Chichimeca or perhaps Chibchi-Meca .Ethnonym Meca-Yapan may refer to the Mekka in Japan,that was
Salamis,founded by Teykros,the Tukri ancestor,in Kypros ,because that was the antique name of Japan : Kui-Per .

Sur(u)i-Che tribe related to the Otanabe may also be related to the Surui tribe of Guaporé region ,
of Tupí langauge ,called also Paiter.They might also have belonged to the inhabitansts of the ancient
Petra ( Paitera ) yet in America .
Also at Guaporé,there live different Nyambicuara tribes ,such as Sabane Sarara,Kabishi,Manduka
and others,who may be closely related to the sudanes peoples of te Saba,Sara,Kaba,Nduka and
others in the Baguirmi region o Tchad .Naba tribe belongs to the latter as wel,so theri ancestors might
also have emigrated from Nabataia,the one already in the exile of Arabia .
Nabata was the father of A-War-Rab-Bagra-Ma ,or Agra-Ma ,after whom this region might be named ,
he was the king of North America and attached Asian regions betwwen the Ural ,Ob ,and Himálaya .

The Otanabe are also known as O-Tanavi ,because they might ahve lived at a river ,wherever it
originally was,that was called Tanais ( Tanawi ) ,the nam given later to the one now called Don in
Eurasia .Archi-Dona tribe also in Loreto region of Peru might also have lived at it,and may be descended
from kings of Nabataia called Arethas ( Ared-Tsha ) .
