Could Triple T Sahur be descended from the ancient peoples?

The Blemmyae were an ancient tribe of people said to have lived in Africa according to the greek historian Herodotus. Later on, Pliny the elder also described the Blemmyae in his work and they were prominent throughout medieval artwork.

They are commonly described as headless creatures who have their face in their chest, a description that befits our beloved Triple T Sahur as well. The resemblance is undeniable. Even their way of holding the stick is the same!

But, how can it be that the Blemmyae lived in Africa while our Triple T is a proud Indonesian? Well, back then cartography wasn't as well developed so India was often depicted as right next to Africa and Indonesia would've been considered a part of India. So a slight mix up could've ended with the Blemmyae being located in the "neighbouring" Africa.

What do you guys think? Is Triple T Sahur still in touch with his ancient roots?

Have any of you ever referred to yourself as "Turkish blood" or seen any other Bengali do it?

For some reason that seems to be a stereotype that I see propping up online a lot, especially propagated by indians. The idea is that Bengalis (whom they consider inferior) would want to lie about being of Turkish descent (whom they consider superior for some reason?). But I've lived in Bangladesh my whole life but never seen someone claim to have Turkish blood. I know Bengalis aren't the most proud to be Bengalis but I've just never seen the Turkish thing. Does anyone know where that came from?
