Re Glenn's comment -
"The Aztecs called themselves the "Red men" and the only other people
to call themselves "Red men" were from India, Egypt and the ocean-
merchant Phoenicians."
Whilst I believe that what Glenn has written is correct, I also
believe that we can trace the reference to "Red Men" back to the known
beginnings of man.
As a child I had read in a book that the meaning of the word "Adam"
was "red earth" in the sense that he was formed out of the dust of the
earth (red earth?). I hunted through my home library for the article
this morning, but it was like looking for a needle in an uncatalogued
haystack. But thanks to the wonders of the internet, I have found
what my vague memory was alluding to.
The Wikipedia free encyclopedia quotes ...
Adam ("Earth" or "man", Standard Hebrew אָדָם, Adam; "flush" or "turn
rosy"; "Soil" or "Light Brown", Arabic آدم, Adam) was the first man
created by Elohim, or God or Allah according to the Abrahamic
religious tradition ...
... and another view ...
"Adam's name is a reference to red earth or red clay, but it also can
be interpreted as 'the one who blushes' or 'turns rosy'. This
correlates with Adam's capacity for shame and/or embarrassment.
Note
that the reddish clay suggests the presence of iron oxide, which is
the mineral that makes blood red and accounts for the red-faced
countenance of blushing. The same root word turns up in the biblical
Hebrew as 'admoni' in subsequent descriptions of Esau and King David,
where the description is commonly interpreted as 'ruddy' and/or 'red-
haired' (1 Samuel 16-17).
... and from Easton's Bible Dictionary we read ...
"Adam" - Red, a Babylonian word, the generic name for man, having the
same meaning in the Hebrew and the Assyrian languages. It was the
name given to the first man, whose creation, fall, and subsequent
history and that of his descendants are detailed in the first book of
Moses (Genesis 1: 27-ch.5). "God created man (Hebrews, Adam) in his
own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created
he them." ...
So can we assume by biblical chronology (old or new recokings), that
"red" man goes back to at least 4,000 years BC? And if one considers
the possibility that the creation of man in Genesis 1, pre-dates the
formation of man (Adam) in Genesis 2, then can we consider that "red"
man was around before 4,000 BC as well?
