Their face is blacker than night; in the streets no one has knowledge of them: their skin is hanging on their bones, they are dry, they have become like wood.
Israelite Archeology
Eric H. Cline, who is chair of the department of classical and Semitic languages and literature at the George Washington University, writes the following in "Raiders of the faux ark" (Boston Globe, September 30, 2007, http://tinyurl.com/2h67q7):
"During the past century or so, archaeologists have found the first mention of Israel outside the Bible, in an Egyptian inscription carved by the Pharaoh Merneptah in the year 1207 BC. They have found mentions of Israelite kings, including Omri, Ahab, and Jehu, in neo-Assyrian inscriptions from the early first millennium BC. And they have found, most recently, a mention of the House of David in an inscription from northern Israel dating to the ninth century BC. These are conclusive pieces of evidence that these people and places once existed and that at least parts of the Bible are historically accurate."
Now as I have taken time to reasearch the matter of the Israelites, you try to develop a fine line from intimately connecting Israel to Egypt, and using the context as a comparison to help open the eyes to a true perception of Africa. I would like to change the perception of an african, and maybe perhaps change the word for the sake of making a broader point. I will refer to an african as an "Adam" was accepted as meaning man yet if we go into the word it represents both blood and ground... With "Adamah" meaning ground, "Edom" meaning red, and "Dam" blood, and one last ingredient the word Aleph represents the element air, or breathing. Add them all together you Have Dirt with blood, breathing air...
" Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
"African and Indian peoples evolved heavily pigmented skins; but not all scientists are convinced that dark skin evolved only as an adaptation for protection against the sun's ultraviolet light. The bushmen of central Africa have dark skins, but live in tropical rainforest where there is little exposure to UV light." - pg.com/science/skincare/Skin_tws_23.htm

'Potent antibiotic found in South African dirt' -
"Using a novel screening technique, scientists at Merck Research Laboratories in New Jersey combed through extracts from 250,000 natural products such as plants and fungi before hitting upon a chemical compound found in a soil sample from Africa, they reported yesterday in the journal Nature."

So what color dirt was Adam made of? Well according to science here are the types of dirt and the area which they are found...
In general, soil types on the African continent may be divided into five or six broad categories. There are desert soils; chestnut-brown soils, which border the deserts; and chernozem-like soils (dark black soils rich in humus and carbonates), which are found immediately south of the chestnut soils from The Sudan westward to just beyond the Niger Bend (the bend in the middle… - Britannica
The rich dark soil of Africa of used to create Adam by Yahweh. It was nothing more than the genius work of the ultimate scientist. Did this Black Man Adam worship Yahweh?
Genesis 2:15
Yahweh God took the man, and put him in the garden of Eden to look after and maintain it.
This man was able to meditate with Yahweh all day, worship all day. Have you ever maintained a garden? The most peaceful and spiritual experience in the world, imagine a garden Yahweh planted for you to look after. This is divine worship of Yahweh in the beginning of time by the first man.
Genesis 2:16-17
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, 'From every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For the day that you eat from it you will surely die.'
Yahweh established His law to Adam and offered him death in exchange for diobedience. Interesting so apparently Adam never thought to eat from the Tree of life...
Now with this reflection we want to look another important character and personality in the Torah. Noah the righteous gentile. What does this mean that Noah was a goy(gentile)? I means nothing besides the fact that he wasn't a Israelite... Goy: meaning of or belonging to a clan or tribe. Noah was not a Israelite of course.
We begin to go into the intimate science of how Yahweh's religion works. We actually cannot avoid many subjects which pertain to who the Israelites are and how they came to be. Noah's sons account for all 'black' humankind. In retrospect it wouldn't make sense for either Japeth, Ham, or Shem to be white, all African men or "Adam". From these men you can track all African civilizations. If you would like study this chart of biblical genealogy you may begin to see that it makes no logical sense for any other race but Adam or Africans to be all over the world first. I am sure the continents were not called Africa, asia, Europe, and America's.
http://www.d.umn.edu/~jbelote/bible2.html (Egypt = Mizairim)
Here are some archaeologist, and anthropologist first hand accounts of Egypt.
The Ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the 5th century B.C.E., saw the Egyptians face-to-face and described them as black-skinned with woolly hair.
Sir Richard Francis Burton, a 19th century English explorer, writer and linguist in 1883 wrote to Gerald Massey, "You are quite right about the "AFRICAN" origin of the Egyptians. I have 100 human skulls to prove it."
Scientist, R. T. Prittchett, states in his book The Natural History of Man, "In their complex and many of the complexions and in physical peculiarities the Egyptians were an "AFRICAN" race (p 124-125).
Anthropologist, Count Constatin de Volney (1727-1820), spoke about the race of the Egyptians that produced the Pharaohs. He later paid tribute to Herodotus' discovery when he said:
"The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of it's original color, while retaining none the less the imprint of its original mold. We can even state as a general principle that the face (referring to The Sphinx) is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest to or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of the people."
Genesis 42:7-8
Now when Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him, he spoke to them harshly, 'Where have you come from?'
The last is my favorite, the Sphinx being evidence which is synonymous with hip hop artist "Nas" and many other scholars of Egyptian history. I think
you can pretty much see what I mean concerning the sons of Noah being black.
Genesis 42:6
It was Joseph, as the man in authority over the country, who allocated the rations to the entire population. So Joseph's brothers went and bowed down before him, their faces touching the ground.
Joseph took an unprecedented amount of leadership of Egypt. I don't even think an Egyptian besides the Pharaoh had the honor to be authority over all of Egypt. Now the implications that Joseph was later named Imhotep by the Egyptians is huge, or even that Joseph changed his named for a short time sense the his brothers did not recognize him, of course he wasn't called Joseph in Egypt. http://aquarianmysteries.com/josephimhotep.html
Now these are short simple comparison but the issue is a bit more complex and I can go into that some other time.
Now I fear that these are examples of a way to retain our faith and nationalism even after using a pagan country to our advantage of means of making money. Many of us today have jobs in an industry wouldn't call Israelite or black owned, yet we retain our faith and nationalism in hopes that one day united national development will be achieved. In another writing, I will have to explain the perception of the Israelite government and how to look it in connection with our own everyday lives.
MOSHEA (7 Adar 2368 - 7 Adar 2488 in the Hebrew calendar;?1393 - 1273 BCE?)
The most controversial figure in history. Our first leader of the Israelites as a whole.
"religious leader, lawgiver, prophet, and military leader, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed."
How was Moshea educated, how did he receive his name, how did he leave Egypt, and Why? For the sake of Israel I will go into this with much detail for the purposes of this essay. Let's look at a summary of his young life.
"According to the book of Exodus, Moses was born to a Hebrew mother who hid him when a Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and ended up being adopted into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave master, he fled and became a shepherd, and was later commanded by God to deliver the Hebrews from slavery."
It was not until Moshea witnessed the burning bush that it was Moses dealt directly with Yahweh, this was later in life indeed and actually it was at this time that he had his child.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighteenth_dynasty_of_Egypt_Family_Tree
Who was actually the ruler the Egypt during Moshea's birth? Well first we are going to look at the 18th Egyptian dynasty as a whole. We see that there is a family of Pharoahs depictied as Thutmose or Thutmosis. Now were there other kings at this time? Yes, names like Amenhotep, and Ahmose the first king of the 18th dynasty, Ay, Smenkhkare, and horemheb among the many
rulers. There was one named Amenhotep IV / Akhenaten 1350 - 1334. It is also the the theory to some that Senemut was Moses, yet, after comparisons it seems apparent that they are not the same figures. Yet one may take a look at the theroized timeline. http://biblelight.net/moses.htm
The Ten Commandments were used by Moses to teach a savage people about civilization. He learned his lifestyle from the enlightened ones in Kemet (Egypt). He scaled down the 42 Laws of Maat to give the savages a more useable format. In Kemet, the 42 Laws were spoken in the first person, as "I will not murder" at the start of ones day and then repeated in the past tense first person at the end, as "I have not murdered" Moses told them "Thou Shalt Not - because they knew not.
---Heru on 9/18/06
Another comparison made are the laws of Maat. First seen as a goddess the seen as morals. One would say that the Ten Commandments are a scaled down version of the laws of maat, this is actually laughable. Please take a moment to read the laws of Maat, these are yes moral, yet not spiritual at all. They involve no real tradition, yet anyone who wants to be a nice person could write these into inscription, yet it constitutes a huge difference from the Ten Commandments, when in fact in some cases the laws of maat would deem the Israelites immoral.
3. Not have I done harm unto animals.
13. Not have I caused harm to be done to the servant by his chief.
20. Not have I purloined the cakes of the gods.
21. Not have I carried off the offerings of the blessed dead.
37. Not have I driven back the cattle of divine things.
39. Not have I defrauded the offerings of the gods.
41. Not have I carried off the food of the infant, not have I sinned against the god of the town.
42. Not have I slaughtered the cattle divine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma'at
These are some of the points made to clarify that much like all religions, rather polytheistic or monotheistic did attempt to keep the population calm and productive with moral boundaries, but one must consider the traditional details before coming up with such a conclusion that their idea of moral obligation was stolen. Before we look at one more list of moral obligations from another culture, what are some of the things Israelites did, Egyptians would never bother doing?
3. you shall have no other gods before me.
4. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,
8 Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy.
9 For six days you shall labour and do all your work.
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns.
-The continual burnt offering (Tamid sacrifice) must be offered twice daily. (Numbers 28:2-6)
The grain and drink offering must be offered twice daily. (Numbers 28:2-8)
An additional sacrifice must be offered on The Feast of Trumpets. (Numbers 29:1-6)
An additional sacrifice must be offered on the Day of Atonement. (Numbers 29:7-8)
The Atonement Service must be performed on the Day of Atonement. (Leviticus 16:2-34)
An additional sacrifice must be offered every day of The Feast of Tabernacles. (Numbers 29:12-34)
An additional sacrifice must be offered on The Last Great Day. (Numbers 29:35-40)
Deuteronomy 13:6-8
'If your brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife tries to secretly entice you, telling you to go and worship other gods, gods of people living near you, or far from you, or anywhere on earth, do not listen to him.''You must kill them. Show them no pity. And your hand must strike the first blow.''Then the hands of all the people. You shall stone them to death.'
Leviticus 19:27
'Do not cut off the hair on the sides of your head.'
'Do not trim the edges of your beard.'
'And do not put tattoo marks on yourselves.'
One can see that the two are ritually distinct, yet like any country existing lived like civilized people, not killing without distinction. Yet the zeal of Israel is truly exist as she becomes a independent nation.
After noticing the obvious different in culture, were there other countries at this time with "moral" lives? Of course.
The Code of Laws by Hammurabi consisted of 282 compared to Israelites 613.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/hamcode.html
282. If a slave say to his master: "You are not my master," if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear.
So it is very important to consider the differences of tradition and culture, after all Hebrews are grandsons of Eber, Eber grandson of Shem, Shem being grandfather to both Babylon and Israel threw bloodline.
Moses is also living evidence that the Israelites and Egyptians constitute the Shemites as a African people much like Joseph, who's coffin was taken in the wilderness with the Israelites.
Exodus 2:12
Then he killed the Egyptian.
Exodus 2:14
'And who appointed you,' the man retorted, 'to be prince over us and judge? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?'
Exodus 2:15
When Pharaoh heard of the matter, he tried to have Moses put to death.
So is it apparent that Moshea was at least set up to be prince of egypt and judge over a large area? Yes, we can accept this, but can we say that Moses was Senemut?
Yet there is a problem, this man doesn't seem to have any more substances than Moses himself, and the only thing they really have in common in reality is Hymm to Aten which we will get into but let's be fair for a moment based of this quote
"Akhenaten's religious reforms (later regarded heretical and reverted by his successor Tutankhamun) have been described as the earliest known example of monotheistic thought and heralded as a possible indication that the Egyptians were the source of Judeo-Christian thought, even though the opposite - that Akhenaten drew inspiration from Israelite monotheism - may equally be true."
Do you see the huge implications of the fact that Tutankhamun later reverted his worship? There is another subject of debate there but please let's focus into this point. So given the fact that both Great Hymn to the Aten and the Psalm 104 were both found in the same fashion could be accredited to anyone, you could argue it was not either one of them. So we will focus on matters that literally separate the two.
"Practically speaking, if any of the Egyptian pantheon were to be chosen as supreme, the sun god Re, or some variation upon him (like Aten), was the best candidate. Already in Egypt at the time of Akhenaten, there had been a longstanding story of Re as the first king to rule Egypt; afterwards, wearied of the affairs of men, this Re "retired to the heavens leaving his son the pharaoh to rule on earth in his stead." [Ald.A, 237] Not surprisingly, the time leading up to Akhenaten showed "a progressive increase" in the regard for the sun god, and a view of Re as a universal god (Not surprising, because the sun shines on everyone!). [Ald.A, 239] The 18th dynasty (in the period prior to Akhenaten) saw a rise of "Heliopolitan" cults and a "solarization" of the principal gods of Egypt. Thus Grimal [Grim.HAE, 238] avers that the change wrought by Akhenaten in this regard "was not in itself revolutionary and was far from being the revelatory religion that scholars have claimed it to be.""
"For want of any other explanation, it was determined that the white powder and the conical stones were probably associated with some form of sacrificial rite, but again it was pointed out that this was an Egyptian temple and animal sacrifice was not an Egyptian practice. Moreover, there were no remnants whatever of bones or any other foreign matter within the mfkzt, which appeared for all the world like a hoard of sacred talcum-powder."
Exodus 10:7
Then Pharaoh's officials said to him, 'How much longer are we to be tricked by this fellow? Let the people go and worship Yahweh their God. Do you not finally realize that Egypt is on the brink of ruin?'
Exodus 10:16-17
Pharaoh sent urgently for Moses and Aaron and said, 'I have sinned against Yahweh and against you. Now forgive my sin, I emplore you, just this once, and entreat Yahweh to turn this deadly thing away from me.'
Exodus 10:22
...and for three days, there was thick darkness over the whole of Egypt. No one could see anyone else or move about for three days.
Exodus 10:25
Moses said, 'Our livestock will go with us too; not a hoof will be left behind. For we need animals from these to worship Yahweh our God. For until we get there, we ourselves cannot tell how we are to worship Yahweh.'
Exodus 12:33
The Egyptians urged the people on and hurried them out of the country because, they said, 'Otherwise we shall all be dead.'
Exodus 12:35
The Israelites did as Moses had told them and asked the Egyptians for silver and gold, jewelry, and clothing.
Exodus 12:36
Yahweh made the Egyptians so much impressed with the people that they gave them what they asked. So they dispoiled the Egyptians.
Was Akenaten so afraid of what Moses had done to Egypt and tried to adopt a Monotheistic God? It seems his attitude was closer to someone who realized that Egypt was fraud, rather than someone enthusiastic about creating a new religion. Please take a moment to read this excerpt on the man they claim to be Moses. It seems like Moses did more to his spirit rather than actually being placed within his character. Did Moses leave a cultural affect on the Egyptians with the plagues and his display of God?
"Beyond this, we see in the reign of Akhenaten a certain variance and expressed need to be different, and hence a reason or desire to establish a new religious tradition. Akhenaten was no conformist in other matters; so much so that Breasted referred to him as "the first individual in history." [Red.HK, 4, 6, 78-9, 137ff] This "heretic king" built a new capitol in Middle Egypt, and left the old administrative centers to the jackals; he tossed out cronies from the old political system and installed "rank outsiders"; he celebrated a jubilee much earlier in his reign than was normal, and made a much bigger to-do of it than was typical; tributes and gifts were handed out right and left (as Redford puts it mildly, "every day seemed a holiday"); he gave unusual prominence to his queen, Nefritity; within seven years of his reign, "the integrated system of politics, economics, and cult that Egypt had known for seventeen centuries had been drastically modified, if not turned upside down." Akhenaten was not one to keep the status quo going, and it is no surprise to see him breaking with tradition radically. (If all of this sounds good, it may need to be kept in mind that all of this may not have been the sign of what we would regard as a stable and sound mind. The downside is that Akhentanen appears to have been a poor administrator, and perhaps just a touch of a loony: Under his rule, the Canaanite provinces got out of control; his admiration of the sun god was so great that he held ceremonies out in the blazing Egyptian heat, and one record contains the complaint of an Assyrian ambassadorial party that they were made to stand out in the sun during diplomatic proceedings. Perhaps the most telling aspect of Akhenaten's reign from our perspective is that royal carvings depict him regularly as "lounging, completely limp, in a chair or on a stool." [Red.HK, 234] To understand the problem somewhat, imagine if our media had only pictures of our President laying around the White House, slouched in the Oval Office in his pajamas. Atenism may have been less of a new religion and more of a way of an incompetent king gaining control over a rapidly-deterioriating and dangerous situation; as David puts it, Akhenaten looks to be much of "a political opportunist who introduced a new supreme deity in order to destroy the power of Amon-Re and his priesthood" [Dav.ERB, 165].)"
Atenism was at its inception a typical Egyptian religion that "never bothered no one."
This failure to imitate the Israelite God whom lived in the sky amongst the heavens caused a great cultural famine in Egypt. It was at this time the Israelites had their own problems, similar to today the arrogant ego, refusing accept their God's laws. They were not better than the Egyptians, yet their were a few good men with the spirit of Yahweh about bring out the best in their own families.
Why is it so difficult to compare Israel to Egypt or any other country as far as archaeological evidence? There are a few reasons actually which one must consider. One sense the Israelites were restricted from creating idols, many images were not created, stone images were not created. Huge pyramids, or Obelisks were not created to honor their god, rather these people oddly enough killed animals and burned them on a alter. Strange to many developing countries, yet not to include other Semite nations. If one were to study Balaam, one may begin to see that it was not just the Israelites who worshiped the God of Israel Yahweh, or that he was even initial known as the God of Israel, yet as a magic unlike any other.
Another problem is the seemingly sinister interest by modern ethnic powers to either suppress much knowledge from the learned community, or literally use what we do not know against us for further sinister intentions. Well why do I use the word sinister? It's hard to imagine that one would suppress the truth based on pure embarrassment. It seems that much effort and wealth is put into the protection from intelligence that might lead to the worlds perception being liberated from the entangling lies that keep our consciousness from truly evolving. No other religion has been kept so secret, no people have been accepted with such little knowledge. Yet these people are so profound and ground moving referring to Israelites, whom ever possesses their artifacts, and who ever lives and owns the land which they used to live may literally keep certain excavations from being done. Even after much has been confessed, and locked away into the vaults of bankers and rabbi's who have interest in playing the role of "indiana jones". What does the Jewish encyclopedia say about its own people? Please take a moment to review some of the points listed. This may change your perception of the power the Jewish people actually have to hide the truth. Much lack of understanding and may actually be a lack of research on our own part. Yet matters as such should be presented on your front door, for such a sensitive matter.
It is not enough to call the Israelites mere forgeries of the Egyptians. The Israelite culture also bears some resemblance to the phoneticians, Midianites, and other existing Hebrew and Canaanite people. We are also considering the fact that Moses dealt with Hebrews as nomads, not the established independent Israelites. In the wilderness witnesses make accounts of many communities who wished to return to Egypt. Who wished to worship the way Egypt did in exchange for safety and immediate retreat. So what is it that Egyptian scholars claim after "all is said and done"?
There is no one universal perception of the Israelites. This perception may depend on what the scholar is trying to accomplish. Many African American scholars use the intimate relationship between Israel and Egypt as a tool for actually distance the Israelites from the African people, often quickly regarded as a Semitic "half" black people. I am often appalled at how a learned Scholar who even supports kemet can use a lack of education against our people just as the jews would. Why do Jews, Whites, and educated blacks accept the word Semite? It is actually not clear when it is easy to find that the word Semite is virtually made up. So let's take a second to explore the term, and understand what it means for a african to be "semitic".
"This family includes the ancient and modern forms of Amharic, Arabic, Aramaic, Akkadian, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Phoenician, Maltese, Tigre and Tigrinya among others."
Where did the name come from?
"The word "Semitic" is an adjective derived from Shem, one of the three sons of Noah in the Bible (Genesis 5.32, 6.10, 10.21), or more precisely from the Greek derivative of that name, namely S?µ (Sem); the noun form referring to a person is Semite. The negative form of the adjective, anti-Semitic, is almost always used to mean "anti-Jewish" specifically, but includes members in southwestern Asia, Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs."(Where the ancient Israelites anti-semitic at times?)
Wait? Hold on, how did Shem turn into Semite?
"It was proposed at first to refer to the languages related to Hebrew by Ludwig Schlözer, in Eichhorn's "Repertorium", vol. VIII (Leipzig, 1781), p. 161. Through Eichhorn the name then came into general usage (cf. his "Einleitung in das Alte Testament" (Leipzig, 1787), I, p. 45. In his "Gesch. der neuen Sprachenkunde", pt. I (Göttingen, 1807) it had already become a fixed technical term. (The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume XIII)"
So a Jew wanted the word to resemble the root word 'half' rather than just using the term shemites? Interesting investigation. So where am I going with these implications? I am suggesting a psychological war of being political correct allowing Jews to bowguard their initial claim to ancient african people.
PC(politically correct)
http://whitespeech.blogspot.com/2007/04/racial-origins-of-political-correctness.html
"It appears that Jewish communist Georg Lukacs (1885-1971; in photo below at right) probably created the first hands-on, working program in which PC was used to indoctrinate the citizenry of a White country. That occurred just a bit before the Jewish-led Frankfurt School began its own journey towards creating PC ideas with the help of the School's Max Horkheimer (1895-1973; in bottom photo at right), who was also a Jew and who invented the concept of "critical theory," which amounted to criticizing White, Western culture and values (Lukacs himself was a fringe Frankfurt Schooler). "Critical theory" paved the way for modern PC by portraying White culture as something oppressive and foul. Interestingly, "critical theory" borrowed some ideas from yet another Jew: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis."
"Even though non-Jews push PC ideas today, they are actually only unwitting helpers of the Jews who created PC. Without the Jews, it is very likely that Political Correctness, as we know it today, wouldn't exist."
"Sadly, in the Western countries today, the field of anthropology is filled with professors who either deny or downplay the significance of racial differences in humans. Those professors insist that race is either meaningless or nearly so, and that race is merely a social construct instead of a key physical feature. They insist that a person's environmental surroundings, not his race, is the central factor in whether or not he is successful in life [note: there is a lot of evidence suggesting that genetics play a vital role in human intelligence and therefore human success]" - http://wsi.matriots.com/anthropology.html
MILITANTS BLOCK DIGGING IN ISRAEL
"''I said I would abide by the law of the land, and I have, but now I've been threatened with dismissal from my college post,'' said Dr. Bull, head of the Joint Expedition to Caesarea, endorsed by the American Schools of Oriental Research, as he explained his reasons for leaving the site. He said the telegram from Mr. Hardin had included an implied threat. 'Harlot! Harlot!'"

""I want the excavations delayed because it is very bad timing under the present political conditions," he said, citing an upcoming U.S.-hosted peace conference next month and the current Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr."

"There are two sources of archeological artifacts relevant to Solomon's temple. The first come from remains taken from refuse from an extensive construction project performed on the Temple Mount by the Islamic Wakf in November of 1999. It is not, however, clear whether these remains contain evidence of a Temple structure from this period.[1][2]. The second,more definitive source was discovered in the summer of 2007, as archeologists overseeing construction at the site reported artifacts most likely belonging to the first temple period."
Unlike Egypt, excavations are merely impossible with the protection of the jews, real evidence is almost impossible to reach with the wealth fortified against those who are seemingly "anti-semitic", or against the jewish agenda.
"The question whether the Jews of today are in the main descended from the Jews of Bible times, and from them alone, is still undecided" (Jew. Enc. X (1905), 283).
They are predominantly brachycephalic, or broad-headed, while the Semites of Arabic origin are invariably dolichocephalic, or long-headed" (Jew. Enc. X (1905), 284).
"Some anthropologist are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and curved noses they appear to have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X (1905), 284).
"Much turns upon the preliminary question whether contemporary Jews are of the same race as those mentioned in the Bible" (Jew. Enc. I (1901), 619).
"Their skulls are mainly brachycephalic; that is, the breadth is generally over 80 per cent of the length. This has been used as an argument against the purity of race, as most Semites - like the Arabs and Syrians - are dolichocephalic, or long-headed" (Jew, Enc. I (1901), 619)
"As is at present accepted by nearly all anthropologists, the shape of the head is the most stable characteristic of a given race" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 335).
"The cephalic index is expressed by multiplying the width of the head by 100 and dividing the product by the length ...The broader or rounder the head is, the higher its cephalic index, and vice versa. When the cephalic index is above 80 anthropologist term it 'brachycephalic'; between 75 and 80, 'mesocephalic'; and less than 75, 'dolichocephalic"' (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 333).
"Appended is a table of nearly 3,000 Jewish heads, from various countries, measured during the last twenty years" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 333).
On an examination of the figures in this table a remarkable uniformity of the cephalic index of the modern Jews will be noticed....nearly 90 per cent are between 81.5 and 83 ...Another remarkable fact is the striking absence of the dolichocephalic type, which is characteristic of all the other modern Semitic races" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 334).
"What is worthy of notice is the small percentage of dolichocephaly - only 1.58 percent - and the large preponderance of brachycephaly, 76.48 per cent" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 334).
"The cephalic indexes from which this curve was obtained were those of Jews in various parts of the world" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902L 331).
"There appears no perceptible difference between the cephalic index of Jews and that of Jewesses" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 335)
"The most important problem suggested by a study of craniometrical results concerning Jews is the relation of the type head of the modern Jews to that of the ancient Hebrews and to the modern Semitic skulls. The pure Semitic skull is dolichocephalic, as may be seen from a study of the heads of modern Arabs, Abyssinians, Syrians .... The only way the type of the head may change is by intermixture with other races. If the ancient Hebrews were of the same stock as the modern non-Jewish Semites, and if the modern Jews are their descendants, then a pure dolichocephalic type of head would be expected among the Jews. As has been seen, all results of craniometry prove that the Jews are brachycephalic, and that the dolichocephalic form is only found among them in less than two percent of the cases" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 335)
"The relation of the breadth of the nose to its length, known as the `nasal index,' has been considered one of the best means of distinguishing the various races of mankind" (Jew. Enc. IX (1905), 339)
"The nose is generally the characteristic feature of the Jews, who have, on the average, the longest (77 ram) and narrowest (34 mm)" (Jew. Enc. I (1901), 619)
"Some authors show that this form of nose is not characteristically Semitic, became the modern non-Jewish Semites, particularly such as are supposed to have maintained themselves in a pure state, as the bedouin Arabs, do not possess this characteristic nose at all Their noses are as a rule short, straight, and often 'snub' or concave. Luschan holds that the hook-nose is by no means characteristic of the Semites, and contends that the number of arched noses that are found among the Jews is due to ancient intermixture with the Hittites in Asia Minor. He shows that other races also, as the Armenian, for instance, who have a good portion of Hittite blood in their veins, have hook-noses" (Jew. Enc. IX (1905), 338)
"The human type is always brachycephalic [round-headed], with brow receding sharply and long nose making almost one line with the sloping forehead. In the sculptures of the Commagene and the Tyana districts, the nose has a long curving tip, of very Jewish appearance"
"Some anthropologists are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and cuffed noses they appear to have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X (1903), 264)
In the past, anthropologists talked and wrote about the various differences between the human races. But after World War II that became much harder to do, since after that war descriptions of racial differences came to be viewed as "Nazi-like" in much of Western society.
JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA (1906): "Many (Khazars) intermingled in the Crimea with the local Jews; the Krimtschaki are probably their descendants—perhaps some of the Subotniki also.... Some went to Hungary, but the great mass of the people remained in their native country. Many members of the Khazarian royal family emigrated to Spain."
Now in all of my research of the Israelite people, you will probably find yourself for year trying to gain a perception of the following scripture, this tests the moral obligations of everyone us as we read Exodus 32 it is our jobs to become wise Israelites to understand the depth of what was going on during this vastly pagan time with the Israelites who wanted to return to Egypt.
1 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods [a] who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."
2 Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me." 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, [b] O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD." 6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. [c] Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
At this point we realize that this African 'adam' Aaron did have knowledge of the Egytian gods, as so did the Israelites starting to revert back to the Egyptian style of worship, yet this worship was different. Aaron created a strange worship that included both the influence of Yahweh's rituals, and Egypts god worship.
It is argued that the Israelites are at that point in this time. Looking for ways to cope with our God not moving at the speed the wish, so we often look to ourselves, or other ancient civilizations that wore head dresses, and dressed themselves in gold, stood with a arrogant attitude toward the world. This is the black mans fantasy as a slave right? It seems like a constant struggle between the Israelites and their own world perception to receive their God's service in full. In other words, the Israelites followed suit of the Egyptians they once dwell with anger out of not receiving their promise, began to forget the reason they were in the middle of nowhere.
It was even at the point where Moses was about to return to the Israelites with his assistant. Are their records of a foreign people living in Egypt worshiping their gods?
Here are some quotes from author and film maker who asks the questions 'Did you know?'
"The Pharaoh who enslaved the Hebrews ruled Egypt for 94 years?"
"There is an ancient Egyptian monument that commemorates the drowning of Pharaoh’s army in the sea?"
"The ravages of the Ten Plagues are described on a 3,000-year-old papyrus?"
A Christian site comments on a unnamed people who did settle in Egypt.
The Riddle of the Exodus: Startling Parallels Between
Ancient Jewish Sources and the Egyptian Archaeological Record James D long.
"Manetho, 3rd century BCE Egyptian writer, using unnamed "sacred books" and "legend", describes a brutal invasion by foreigners from the east called Hyksos meaning "foreign rulers". The Hyksos reportedly made Avaris their capital and allegedly ruled Egypt 500 years. Excavations by Manfred Bietak, Univ. of Vienna, discovered Hyksos pottery, architecture, and tombs dating from 1800 BCE at Tel ed-Daba (Avaris) indicating the Hyksos were Semites (Canaanites, but no mention of them being Israelites), and that their migration had been a gradual process over many years rather then at a specific date in time."
Would the Egyptians even know of them as Israelites? Would it make sense that the Egyptians would not know much about these people. These people were mostly Hebrew, Israel was still an old man, and his sons were still young. When Jacob had gone to Egypt when he was 130 years old. The education to most people who do not believe the Israelites were not a real race, most are under education to the perception to have about the Hebrew Israelites in Egypt in the first place. We are talking mostly Hebrews who were a people of Eber, and it seems that Yahweh later reduced the population to a almost purely Israelite race during their trek in the wilderness.
Numbers 14:17-18
'Now is the time to assert your power as you promised earlier when you said, "Yahweh, slow to anger, rich in faithful love, forgiving faults and transgressions."'
Numbers 14:17-18
Yahweh said, 'I forgive them as you ask. But as I live, of all these people, not one shall see the country which I promised to give their ancestors.'
'However, since Caleb has obeyed me completely, I shall bring him into the country and his descendants shall own it.'
'Tomorrow you will turn about and go back into the desert. Say to the Israelites, "In this desert your dead bodies will fall. None of you twenty years or older will enter the country where I solemnly swore to settle you."'
'Your dead bodies will fall in this desert, and your children will be nomads in the desert for forty years until the last one of you lies dead in the desert.'
'In this desert, to the last man, they shall die.'
Of the men who had gone to investigate the country, only Joshua and Caleb were left alive.
There was a rebellion and many more were killed by armed canaanite forces.
Numbers 14:45
They cut them to pieces, chasing them as far as Hormah.
Numbers 16:1-2
Korah the Levite and the Reubenites, Dathan, Abiram, and On, then took action and rebelled against Moses with two hundred and fifty Israelites -- community leaders, and men of repute.
Okay this lead to more death.
Numbers 16:35
Fire then shot out from Yahweh and consumed the two hundred and fifty men offering incense.
Yahweh became angry after the people continued to blame Moses and Aaron.
Numbers 16:42-45
As the community gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron, the glory of Yahweh appeared, and Yahweh said to Moses, 'Get away from this community. I am going to destroy them here and now.'
Numbers 16:49
14,700 people died from the plague -- not counting those who had died with Korah and his followers.
We began to literally see ethnic cleansing. Yahweh dwindling the Hebrews, down to the roughly the family of Israel.
"Most of the Old Testament contains passages of genocidal intent and ethnic cleansing ordered by God such as 1 SAMUEL 15.19"
So let's go back to the Hyksos, now that we have a mixed view of the Hebrews.
Sense according to the Dead Sea scrolls, Pharaoh thought there were "too many Hebrews".
"Scholars have taken the increasing use of scarabs and the adoption of some Egyptian forms of art by the Fifteenth Dynasty Hyksos kings and their wide distribution as an indication of their becoming progressively Egyptianized.[5] The Hyksos used Egyptian titles associated with traditional Egyptian kingship, and took Egyptian god Seth to represent their own titulary deity.[6] It would appear as though Hyksos administration was accepted in most quarters, if not actually supported by many of their northern-Egyptian subjects. The flip side is that in spite of the prosperity that the stable political situation brought to the land, the native Egyptians continued to view the Hyksos as non-Egyptian "invaders". When they eventually were driven out of Egypt all traces of their occupation were erased."
Now that we see the Egyptians attitude toward nomads they don't like settling in, rather or not the Hebrews account for the 'Hyksos' let's take a moment to read more into this excerpt.
"History is written by the victors, and in this case the victors were the rulers of the Egyptian-native Eighteenth Dynasty, the direct successor of the Theban Seventeenth Dynasty. It was the latter which started and led a sustained war against the Hyksos. These native kings from Thebes had an incentive to demonize the Asiatic rulers in the North, thus accounting for the ruthless destruction of their monuments. This note of warning tells us that the historical situation most probably lay somewhere between these two extreme positions: the Hyksos dynasties represented superficially Egyptianized foreigners who were tolerated, but not truly accepted, by their Egyptian subjects."
"Ahmose, who is regarded as the first king of the Eighteenth Dynasty may have been on the Theban throne for some time before he resumed the war against the Hyksos."
"The Hyksos continued to play a role in Egyptian literature as a synonym for "Asiatic" down to Hellenistic times. The term was frequently evoked against such groups as the Semites settled in Aswan or the Delta, and this may have led the Egyptian priest and historian Manetho to identify the coming of the Hyksos with the sojourn in Egypt of Joseph and his brothers, and helped modern historians identify the expulsion of the Hyksos with the Exodus. Significant in this identification is the fact that some Hyksos pharaohs had names familiar from Israelite traditions, such as Jacobaam of the 16th dynasty. It may also indicate that the "expulsion" of the Hyksos reported in the Egyptian records mainly refers to the expulsion of the Semitic rulers and military/political elite and does not indicate a mass expulsion of the lower classes who, in the Ancient World, were traditionally exploited by their conquerors rather than expelled or massacred."
So what do the Hyksos tell us? The Egyptians certainly dealt with invasions by nomads, let them settle, and at times they were royal nature before being driven out. Even in the Old Testament account, it seem that Yahweh gives Israelites the chance to rule over the Hebrews even in Egypt.
Our eyes are finally open to accept the notion that Egypt was not a remote country that never saw anyone, and was just left alone in the event that it was a impressive nation. On quite the contrary many nations were provoked to settle in the city for protection, trade, invasion. There is much information about the "foreign rulers", yet I think the most important is to recognize the existence of nomadic people in and out of Egypt.
"Some of this rings true, while other parts seem not to be. It appears that the Hyksos left much of Egypt alone. It is clear that Avaris (Tell el-Dab'a) was occupied by a people who exhibited specifically non-Egyptian cultural traits. We find this in the layout of the town itself, the houses, and particularly the burials, which were intermixed with the living community, unlike those of the Egyptians. While we know that the Hyksos established centers, as their influenced gradually moved towards Memphis along the eastern edge of the Delta, at Farasha, Tell el-Sahaba, Bubastis, Inshas and Tell el-Yahudiyas, very little of this particular culture has been found at other Egyptian sites. At the same time, the Hyksos living in Egypt have been described as A rare wooden Hyksos statue of a woman carrying a child"Peculiarly Egyptian". They were great builders and artisans. And little seems to have changed between the Egyptian style of governing, and that of the Hyksos. While the Hyksos imported some of their own gods, they also appear to have honored the Egyptian deities as well, such as Seth, who became assimilated with some Hyksos deities."
There you can compare the struggle between Yahweh and the Hebrews, his ethnic cleansing, and even his struggle with the Israelites themselves.
"A Semitic people who invaded Egypt and ruled it during the 17th and 16th centuries B.C. They introduced the horse and chariot into Egypt." - Answers
"The Hyksos were basically a Semitic people who were able to wrestle control of Egypt from the early Second Intermediate rulers of the 13th Dynasty, inaugurating the 15th Dynasty. Their names mostly come from the West Semitic languages, and earlier suggestions that some of these people were Hurrian or even Hittite have not been confirmed. However, it is not easy to determine their origins within that Asiatic region, and at Tell el-Dab'a, the culture of the people was not static, but rapidly developed new traits and discarded old ones. Yet the reason for, and method of the cultural mixing and rapid development of Asiatics at Tell el-Dab'a remains unclear."
Apparently these Shemitic people were busy at work.
"Perhaps a passing historical footnote is in order. Around 1720 B.C., a group of foreigners referred to as Hyksos, invaded the land of the Nile and erected their capital at Avaris (Tell ed-Dab'a) Though they penetrated Egypt at a time of political disintegration that had resulted in a proliferation of local rulers throughout Lower Egypt (the western delta had already seceded to form an independent kingdom), the success of Hyksos imperialism should be attributed largely to their exploitation of a number of Asiatic technological innovations. Those may have included the horse-drawn war chariot, the battering ram, and the composite bow. Soon after 1560 B.C., however, the Hyksos were expelled from Egypt by native princes, and the so-called New Kingdom period of Egyptian history was inaugurated. During that time, a concerted effort was mounted to rid Egypt of any trace of Hyksos influence. One illustration of that is found in the historical records of Thutmosis III. This sovereign appears to have launched at least twenty-one military campaigns against the Hyksos and their Asiatic allies (Amorites, Hurrians), and in a few of those he boasted that he even crossed the Euphrates River to rout the enemy and to free Egypt from its influence."
Anyone Embracing Israelites can exhale, there in fact proof that there was a Egyptian Exdous concerning a people from Shem.
"Group of mixed Semitic-Asiatics who settled in northern Egypt in the 18th century BC. They seized power c. 1630 BC and ruled Egypt for 108 years thereafter. They were superficially Egyptianized and did not interfere with Egyptian culture. Their chief deity was Seth, whom they identified with an Asiatic storm god. The Hyksos introduced the horse and chariot, the compound bow, improved battle-axes, and advanced fortification techniques. Hyksos pharaohs tried to halt the spread of a Theban revolt, but their dynasty fell to Ahmose in 1521 BC."
"At the end of the 12th dynasty a people called "Hyksos" settled down in the eastern delta. After a presence in the country for about 150 years another hyksos dynasty (15) made a fortified capital of Avaris.
The Hyksos were foreign invaders who overran Egypt in the 17th century BC and established two contemporaneous dynasties. The 15th dynasty (1674-1567 BC) of the great Hyksos kings dominated the Hyksos vassal chiefs of the 16th dynasty (1684-1567 BC). Egyptians called these kings "rulers of foreign lands," translated in Egyptian as "hega-khase". Greek authors later rendered this as "Hyksos," which was mistranslated as "shepherd kings." For this reason many scholars believed the Hyksos to be the Hebrews, although there is no archaeological basis for this assumption. They were probably city dwellers from southern Palestine.
The period of their rule was a time of peace and prosperity for Egypt. They respected the native religions, maintained ancient Egyptian as the official language of the government, and allowed many Egyptians to serve in the high levels of the administration of the state. They taught the Egyptians new military techniques and introduced the use of the horse and chariot, "
Did Yahweh induce a ethnic cleansing to keep the Israelites from totally adopting all the gods of the foreign lands? It seems that Yahweh even almost wiped the Israelites off the map.
Numbers 25:9
The plague had killed 24,000 Israelites.
Numbers 25:10
Yahweh then spoke and said, 'Phineas the priest has deflected my wrath from the Israelites. Because of him I did not destroy the Israelites completely.'
Many brothers seeking information on the Israelites, have asked me what is that made the Israelites special, why did he deal with this people over all. It was often the work of one man that would revert Yahweh's anger. You also noticed this when Yahweh dealt with Joshua and Caleb. Later Moses ultimately died and was give the opportunity to look over to the Canaanite land, excluding walking on it's territory. He later died and handed most of his authority over to Joshua.
" The Hyksos were unable to quell the feelings of Egyptian nationalism. They held the southern lands in check with an alliance with the Nubian kingdom of Cush. Despite this, the southern Egyptian city of Thebes finally began a war of independence that culminated with the expulsion of the Hyksos by Ahmose I in 1567 BC."
" No hostility seems to have been between the two parts until the last 20 years
after a century of relatively peace. The 16th dynasty (possibly from the Abydos
region) may by time have been vassals to the 15th and then were taken over by
the 17th from Thebes. From there came the liberation war, initiated by Amhose I and completed by Thutmoses III, that finally wiped out the Hyksos dynasty."
"In a word, it appears that the biblical, historical, and archaeological data are best served by theorizing that it was a Hyksos monarch before whom Joseph stood as an interpreter of dreams (Gen. 41:14-37) and who later ceded a choice parcel of land (Goshen) to Joseph's family (Gen. 47:6). According to such a theory, the "new king" of Exodus 1:8 would have been one of the native Egyptian monarchs of the New Kingdom who, as part of his Hyksos purge, resolutely refused to recognize the validity of the Goshen land grant. Discerning in the Israelites a multitude who might very well join with his Asiatic enemies in war, this new king moreover acted quickly to enslave the Israelites." - Freeman
The Freeman Institute takes pride in researching these matters.
So how can we prove to be the Israelite family who ended up in a country like America? Actually genetics is one way, and not a subject for black Israelites to retreat from. If one has the imagination we can sort of trace the movement of the Israelites through africa. Yet it is hard when somehow the Mormon church comes up as a main problem in tracing DNA.
"Some LDS scientists argue that the Book of Mormon does not present a testable hypothesis and that, since other scientists are not testing the Book of Mormon directly, the data collected by non-Mormon scientists is irrelevant to the origin of Book of Mormon people. The question scientists are asking is: "Who are the ancestors of the American Indians?" In fact, about 7,300 American Indians have been DNA tested in scientific experiments aimed at discovering where their founding ancestors came from. The Book of Mormon claims in its introduction that the Book of Mormon people (the Lamanites) "are the principal ancestors of the American Indians." Most LDS adherents believe, and all the LDS prophets have taught, that Israelites are the principal ancestors of the American Indians. It is therefore absurd to claim that what the scientists are discovering about Indian heritage is irrelevant. Scientists are inadvertently asking the same question posed by the Book of Mormon, and LDS beliefs about Indian ancestry fall squarely into the scientific field of anthropology. Molecular anthropologists are uncovering evidence that is directly relevant to LDS beliefs in this area."
"3. We don’t know what Israelite DNA from Book of Mormon times looks like.
We know that Lehi and his associates in the Book of Mormon were Israelites, and we know a great deal about the DNA lineages of living people whose ancestors were Israelites reaching back 2600 years ago. Israelite DNA lineages belong to the same family groups found in European populations: the H, I, J, K, N, T, U, V, W and X groups. Essentially all Europeans and Israelites possess one of these lineages. In fact, other Middle Eastern populations such as the Syrians, Egyptians, Lebanese and other Arabic groups have similar mitochondrial DNA lineages belonging to these families. There is a smattering (<0.4%) of lineages in American Indian populations that are clearly, exclusively of European origin, most probably from Spain rather than from the Middle East. However, scientists justifiably assume that these lineages represent post-Columbus intermixing. The lineages in question are most common in North American tribes that had the greatest impact with Europeans and are very uncommon in Mesoamerica, which FARMS claims is the only "plausible" site for the Book of Mormon. In addition, European mitochondrial lineages are extremely rare in Polynesia."
"7. The bottleneck effect, genetic drift, and other technical problems would prevent us from detecting Israelite genes.
In 600 BC there were probably several million American Indians living in the Americas. If a small group of Israelites, say less than thirty, entered such a massive native population, it would be very hard to detect their genes today. However, such a scenario does not square with what the Book of Mormon plainly states and with what the prophets have taught for 175 years.
8. When God cursed American Indians and changed their skin color, as reported in the Book of Mormon, God could have changed their DNA as well.
If so, why would God change the DNA so it matched Asian DNA? As Latter-day Saints, we have already offended Blacks and the Indians. Are we going to offend Asians now, as well?"

"Latter-day Saints believe themselves to be either direct descendants of the House of Israel, or adopted into it. As such, Judaism is foundational to the history of Mormonism; Jews are looked upon as a covenant people of God, held in high esteem, and are respected in the Mormon faith system. The LDS church is consequently very philo-Semitic by doctrine.
Mormon beliefs regarding their membership in the House of Israel are generally rejected both from a theological and cultural stand point by the Jewish community. This concept of claiming membership in the House of Israel produces various interfaith problems. Though conflicts exist, relationships seldom if ever rises to the level of Anti-Semitism or Anti-Mormonism."
Why don't the jews bother the Mormons for claiming to be from the house of Israel? The fact is Mormons control much of the worlds genealogy records.
The Mormon Church (LDS or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is well known for their collection of genealogy records. - Ancestor Hunt
"The original Canaanites were Semites. The word “Canaanite” was used BEFORE the words HEBREW and in the King James Bible. Linguistically, the ancient Semites have been broadly classified into Eastern and Western groups. Akkadian, the language of the Assyrians and Babylonians, who inhabited the Tigris and Euphrates River Valleys, represents the Eastern group. The Southwestern Semites inhabited Arabia and Ethiopia while the Northwestern Semites occupied the Levant - the regions that used to be Palestine as well as what is now Syria, Israel and Lebanon, the regions often referred to in the Bible as Canaan. The whole region was ruled and colonized by the Black Egyptians between 2300 and 1900 B.C.E. The Amorites sacked many of the coastal Canaanite cities. All of this was under the patronage and dominance of the 18TH DYNASTY OF EGYPT. The 18th Dynasty included the biblical Black Moses and his descendents."
"Even White Nationalist groups like the Aryan Nation believe and warn other Whites that the original Hebrews/Jews were of African descent. The Aryan Nation proclaims: WE BELIEVE that the Canaanite Jew is the natural enemy of our Aryan (White) Race. Scripture and all secular history attest this. The Jew is like a destroying virus that attacks our racial body to destroy our Aryan culture and the purity of our Race. Those of our race who resist these attacks are called "chosen and faithful" (John 8:44; 1 Thessalonians 2:15; Revelations 17:14). "
"White Euro-America—especially groups like the Aryan Nation know the reality of what will happen as White body after White body is replaced by the original Canaanite Jew—the mud people. Anybody who has taken 10th Grade Biology knows a little bit about genetics, namely, the dominant and recessive gene. Those who are a little more knowledgeable are busy trying to stop the Black gene domination swing—shift and swing—shift and swing. The Aryan Nation states: WE BELIEVE that there is a battle being fought this day between the children of darkness (the mud people) and the children of light (Yahweh, The Ever Living God), the Aryan Race, the true Israel of the Bible (Revelations 12:10-11)."
"As an approach to investigating the origin of sickle cell hemoglobin (hemoglobin S) in white persons of Sicilian ancestry, two groups of native Sicilians were tested for blood group evidence of African admixture. Among 100 unrelated Sicilians, the phenotypes cDe(Rho) and Fy(a-b-), and the antigens V(hrv) and Jsa, which are considered to be African genetic markers, were detected in 12 individuals. Among 64 individuals from 21 families with at least one known hemoglobin S carrier, African blood group markers were detected in 7 (11%). These findings indicate that hemoglobin S is only one of multiple African genes present in contemporary Sicilian populations. The occurrence of hemoglobin S in white persons of Sicilian ancestry is considered to be a manifestation of the continuing dissemination of the original African mutation."

Please emerge yourself in DNA studies and discussion this goes into. From the obvious, to studies done in labs, it's all about the perception of the individual.Who do scholars claim the European Jews to be? This may well include anything beyond about 300 B.C. giving credit of the New Testament to the European Jews. I have another writing discussing more context of the New Testament.
UNIVERSAL JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA (1945): "Descendants of the Khazar Jews are believed to have migrated to Kiev and other parts of Russia."
ENCYCLOPEDIA JUDAICA (1973): "Groups have been mentioned as migrating to Central Europe from the East or have been referred to as Khazars, thus making it impossible to overlook the possibility that they originated from within the former Khazar Empire. The Turkish-speaking Karaites [Jews] of the Crimea, Poland, and elsewhere have affirmed a connection with the Khazars, which is perhaps confirmed by evidence from folklore and anthropology as well as language. There seems to be a considerable amount of evidence attesting to the continued presence in Europe of descendants of the Khazars."
D.M. DUNLOP, HISTORY OF THE JEWISH KHAZARS (Princeton Univ. Press, 1954): "It only remains now to consider the theory that the modern Jews of eastern Europe, or more particularly those in Poland, are the descendants of the medieval Khazars. This can be dealt with very shortly, because there is LITTLE EVIDENCE which bears directly upon it, and it unavoidably retains the character of a mere assumption. ... To speak of the Jews of eastern Europe as descendants of the Khazars...would be to GO MUCH BEYOND WHAT OUR IMPERFECT RECORDS ALLOW." (pp. 261,263. Emphasis has been added to quotations. Dunlop is a source book for Koestler. Koestler believes the theory that east European Jews are descendants of the Khazars.)
"Now, after many years of research, a well-known 'Jewish author', Arthur Koestler has published a 255 page book titled THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE in which he proves the same point of the earlier scholars; i.e. that these Eastern European "Jews" are neither Israelites nor "Semites," but are instead Khazars, Mongols, and people of Hun descent!"
"15 Khazars adopt Judaism as their religion in A.D. 740.
16 Majority of Eastern European Jews are Khazar and Japhetic in origin, not Semitic. Refers to 1973 Jewish Encyclopedia and A. N. Poliak, Professor, Medieval Jewish History, Tel Aviv University."

The Khazar Empire was located between the Caspian and Black Seas in what is now southern Russia. The empire flourished from about the 6th to the 10th centuries. They are mentioned in Arab, Jewish, Greek and Byzantine literature from mid-6th to mid-13th centuries. Where they came from is uncertain. Where they ended up after their fall is unknown for sure. The 2 Khazar contributions to history are:
*
they stopped the advance of the Muslims about the same time Charles Martel defeated the Muslims at the battle of Tours (732). If not for the Khazars the Muslims might have taken over Europe, and we might all be Mohammedans today;
The generally accepted theory is that they are of Turkish origin, But.some have believed that they were ISRAELITES: the "10 lost tribes"!:
*
Hasdai, who wrote the Khazar Correspondence, believed they were
*
* Isaac ‘Akrish, who first published the Khazar Correspondence, believed the same
* Karaite Jews of Crimea (once part of Khazaria) and Poland "claim a connection" with Khazars.....Karaite Jews claim to be directly descended from New Testament Saducees, Jews who reject the Talmud (some Russian governments would exempt Karaites from Jewish persecution, considering them to be the "10 lost tribes," and therefore not responsible for Jesus’ death)
Ibn Fadlan, an Arab writer, refers to the Khazar king as "a Jew"
*
Maquadasisi, another Arab, says, "in Khazaria...Jews exist in large quantity"
*
Inb Hawkal, Arab, says only a Jew could be a Khazar king
*
Masudi, another Arab says the same

In Russian folklore Khazaria is referred to as the ‘country of the Jews’
Did Jews dissapear during our slavery? No, it seems that Jews never completely separated themselves from us after finding us. In fact, it wasn't the african slaves who chosed to go American, it seems evidentm that many were afraid to leave the Israelites alone after finding them, they had to be transported and re-educated.
"...Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently dominated."
Dr. Marc Lee Raphael is the editor of American Jewish History, the journal of the American Jewish Historical Society at Brandeis University in Massachusetts. For full statement.
Jewish Captain Moses Naar, in his seventeenth attack against the freedom seeking Africans, "burned down a whole negro village [and] made a number of captives." Naar and Gabriel de La Fatte were presented with silver cups "in recognition of their active zeal in suppressing a revolt of the negroes in their colony." But silver cups did not suffice and instead they severed the hands of the Blacks which were then used by Jews as trophies.
"The Jews first made use of letters of credit. We all know that the first bankers of the world-Rothschilds-are Jews; we know they control not only the money market, but also the political destiny of the European world; and one thing can be truthfully said--they never mix their religion with other people's money. Even our loans were taken principally by Jews; but mercantile enterprises owe a vast debt to the Jew. You need but look at the streets of the principal cities of the world on Jewish holidays, and you will at once see that trade is in mourning; the busy hum is hushed; everything is languid; the active brain, the quick, nervous decision, the daring, yet cautious, speculator is absent. Look at Spain and Ireland, and then at England, France, Germany and the United States; and yet this very activity is made a weapon of attack." --Simon Wolf
"Blacks and Jews have been involved in a re-evaluation of their current and historical relationship. Events of the past several months have raised both tensions and the level of rhetoric coming from all sides. The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews is a historical accounting of the part of the relationship that has been ignored by both Blacks and Jews. Most people are not even aware of the extensive record of encounters between the two groups prior to the 20th century. The Honorable Louis Farrakhan referred to this well-documented history in 1984 and was immediately labeled an "anti-Semite." Merely questioning the belief that Jews were co-sufferers in the Black slave experience draws angry rebukes from Jews of all stripes. The book in question presents indisputable historical data from census records, wills, Jewish historians and scholars, rabbinical sermons, port records, court records, runaway slave notices, slave sale advertisements, etc., which forces all sides to grapple with the long-held mythology that Black people always found a friend in the Jews."
"The history that the old "Black-Jewish Coalition" clumsily avoids is the entire three century history of Jewish presence in South America and the Caribbean. But other highly acclaimed Jewish scholars have not been so blind:
* Lee M. Friedman, a one-time president of the American Jewish Historical Society, wrote that in Brazil, where most of the Africans actually went, "the bulk of the slave trade was in the hands of Jewish settlers."
* Marcus Arkin wrote that the Jews of Surinam used "many thousands" of Black slaves.
* Herbert I. Bloom wrote that "the slave trade was one of the most important Jewish activities here (in Surinam) as elsewhere in the colonies." He even published a 1707 list of Jewish buyers by name with the number of Black humans they purchased.
* Cecil Roth, writer of 30 books and hundreds of articles on Jewish history, wrote that the slave revolts in parts of South America "were largely directed against [Jews] as being the greatest slave-holders of the region."
* "I gather," wrote Jewish scholar Wilfred Samuels, "that the Jews [of Barbados] made a good deal of their money by purchasing and hiring out negroes..."
* According to the Jewish historians, all Barbadian Jews owned slaves - even the rabbi had "the enjoyment of his own two negro attendants."
* In Curaçao which was a major slave trading depot, Isaac and Susan Emmanuel report that "the shipping business was mainly a Jewish enterprise."
* Says yet another Jewish writer of the Jews of Curaçao, "Almost every Jew bought from one to nine slaves for his personal use or for eventual resale."
* Seymour B. Liebman in his New World Jewry, made it clear that "[t]he ships were not only owned by Jews, but were manned by Jewish crews and sailed under the command of Jewish captains."
* Moshe Kahan stated bluntly that in 1653-1658, " Jewish-Marrano merchants were in control of the Spanish and Portuguese trade, were almost in control of the Levantine trade...were interested in the Dutch East and West Indian companies, were heavily involved in shipping; and, most important, had at their disposal large amounts of capital."
* In Brazil, where most of our kidnapped ancestors were sent, Jewish scholar Arnold Wiznitzer is most explicit about Jewish involvement:"

The Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was recently in the news saying: "Today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them."
Where the Europeans equipped to deal with the Israelites on the coast of Africa? Where the African Slaves never truely disconnected from their Israelite heritage?
"Many scholars have always known about the ancient Hebrew culture found all over the African Continent.
They Never make the connection of the curses and prophecies of Deuteronomy 28: and Leviticus 26: and how they fit us perfectly. If they did all the mysteries about the Biblical Hebrews would be cleared up.
It's been a known fact since the time of the slave trade, that the people on the west coast of Africa were Hebrews. The first Christian missionaries, who left Portugal for west Africa were required to have a knowledge of Aramaic and Hebrew. Aramaic is a language that is akin to Hebrew, some say it was spoken by the Hebrews during the time of Yahshuah. Sir John Hawkins an English slave trader in the 1500's communicated with his captives, who later became slaves by speaking Hebrew to them. In fact when he first came to the shores of west Africa, the first thing he said to the people was SHALOM, Shalom is a Hebrew word that means peace.
The slave master's knew who we were, this was the reason they changed our whole culture, faith, religion and history. How could they keep us as slaves and treat us as subhuman, and still have high praise for our scared scriptures (the bible). It was necessary that they cover up our identity, and keep it hidden.
When slaves were on the plantation working from before the sun came up to when it went down.
They would sing songs that are now known as Negro Spirituals.
In these songs they would sing about Moses, Jerusalem, Canaan, Yah and the land of Israel. The songs with those themes I just mention were song on plantations before the slave master introduce the KJV or Christianity to the slaves. If the slaves were not already Israelites how did they have knowledge of these songs and biblical themes. When we were first brought to the America's the slave master didn't find it fit to teach us Christianity. If he did he would have to acknowledging that we were human, and that was something he couldn't do. Over a period of time, the slave master decided to teach our people a few things about Christianity. But he only taught them from the New Testament (just as many Christians continue to do today). Slave Owners forbidden the slaves to read or hear "old testament" bible books, such as Exodus and others.
But those first slave songs had many old testament themes to them such as "Let My People Go", My home is over Jordan, and Swing Low Sweet Chariot and so on. The slave master didn't teach them this, as a matter of fact in some parts of the country those "Slave songs" were outlawed (it also was against the law to teach a slave how to read and write especially the bible). Our people were singing about something that they were familiar with, and this was "old testament" history, a history which had by then become oral history passed on from one generation to the next.
The slave song KumbaYAH is Hebrew, it's saying "come by here, Yah come by here". As I pointed out earlier YAH is a shorten form of the creator's name in Hebrew. So how did our people know about Yah, Moses and all the other Hebrew themes if they were not Hebrews upon their arrival?
If you pick up and read any book on slavery in the United States, You will see that the slaves would call the slave owner MASSA not MASTER but MASSA. We have been taught that the slaves were speaking broken English, so they would pronounce MASSA instead of master because of their dialect. That's not the whole truth, MASSA is a Hebrew word that means burden / oppressor (strong's concordance 4853, 4854). Those slave masters put heavy burdens on the slaves, so the slaves called them Massa for that reason.
Many Christians were also surprised to learn that these so called "ungodly savages" awaited a messiah, long before the arrival of the first European Gentiles.
As I bring this to a close I hope you have been blessed with a understanding of these things I have presented. This wasn't a twisting of scripture or hate speech. This is a long forgotten hidden truth. Some of you who read this for the first time, are coming into information that you have never heard before.
AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE HEARD IT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT. I'm not forcing any thing on anybody, you can reject this or accept this the choice is yours.....But THE FACT IS: you can't say you haven't heard this information.
In the book of Revelation chapter 12: verse 9 it says Satan has deceive the whole world. This world is deceive about many things, including who are the decedents of biblical Israel..... "
Now I do not see the Israelites lasting beyond 300 B.C. as it was the last exile of the Babylonians, then the Persians, then finally the Europeans. I think this made it very hard to do. Why do I say this? One simple Character, Alexander the Great, after this time we see the rise of the jews and the suppression of the Israelites. A world wide plan seem to have been put in place.
Alexander the Great July 20 356 BC – June 10 323.
The European General and Emporer to Conquer Israel and Persia.
after one takes a look at the evidence given, how can one deny the implications that an african nation dwelled within Egypt, after being driven out, finally settled north in Canaan for good. This led to being later conquered by the European nations who prevailed of all the "Middle East", it seems like we end up having the same arguement for the Middle East as one would for Egypt. The western educated scholars who continue to separate the african people from their past by using the arab nation as a medium between Africa and Europe. It seems that the Arabs have been the main tool for Jews to claim right in the East.
"They may have their differences but Jews and Arabs share a common genetic heritage that stretches back thousands of years.
The striking similarities in their biology have just been revealed in a study of over 1,300 men in almost 30 countries worldwide. "

Can Ethiopians change the color of their skin or leopards change their spots? Can you do good when you're taught to do wrong?

Their faces are now blacker than soot. No one recognizes them on the streets. Their skin has shriveled on their bones. It has become as dry as bark.
Their face is blacker than night; in the streets no one has knowledge of them: their skin is hanging on their bones, they are dry, they have become like wood.
Heth. Their face is now made blacker than coals, and they are not known in the streets: their skin hath stuck to their bones, it is withered, and is become like wood.

A bit more on the Hyksos
"Before the close of the Thirteenth Dynasty, about 1650 BC, the 'Hyksos' poured into Egypt from Asia. The Egyptians called them the 'Nomad Kings' since they had no apparent origin in a particular Nation. This is confirmed by the fact that they left no monuments or works of art that represented a unique cultural orientation."
- Publius (publius@gate.net)
"They took control over the capital Memphis in Egypt in 1674 [conventional chronology], and founded the 15th dynasty (1674- 1567), which ran parallel to the 16th dynasty, a dynasty of vassal chiefs under Hyksos' control."
- Tore Kjeilen, Encyclopaedia of the Orient
The Hyksos invasion was roughly contemporaneous with a period of global cooling, which may have been caused by a massive volcanic explosion spewing large amounts of dust into the upper atmosphere. The massive eruption of Thera has been dated to 1628 B.C.E. using tree-ring records, although historians prefer to date the eruption to circa 1500 B.C.E. David Rohl dates the beginning of the Early Hyksos period to circa 1450 B.C.E., following the exodus of the Israelites.
"When Moses and the Israelites were journeying eastwards through Sinai they were confronted by an Amalekite army. Was this Arabian horde on its way into Egypt? If so, then Manetho's Hyksos invaders were one and the same as the Amalekites who clashed with the Israelites during the first year of the Wilderness Wanderings and, at the same time, can be recognized as the Amalekite invaders of Arabian tradition who became pharaohs of Egypt. These barbaric tribesmen cannot, however, be closely identified with the rulers of Avaris designated by Manetho as the 15th Dynasty and whom he states originated in Phoenicia...Salitis, the first pharaoh of that dynasty, fortified Avaris some considerable time after the initial invasion - the word 'finally' being used by Manetho to separate out the two events in time [perhaps half a century]."
- David M. Rohl, A Test of Time: The Bible from Myth to History (1995), p. 286
"This word 'Hebrew' ('ibri) is now thought to be related to a similar-sounding word which appears in a variety of forms throughout documents of the ancient Middle East. The Egyptians transcribed it as 'a-pi-ru, or (since Egyptian hieroglyphic script can be written only in consonants) 'pr.w, or simply 'pr. It is Habiru or Hapiru in Akkadian cuneiform. The Amarna letters refer frequently to the 'Aipiru (also sometimes referred to as SA.GAZ) as making trouble. An administrative letter of the time of the Pharaoh Ramesses II refers to providing corn for the 'pr who were drawing stones for the great gateway of one of the buildings of Raamses. Who were these Hebrew, 'Apiru, Habiru people? The word appears not to be the name of a race or a nation, but of a class of people who worked the caravan routes of the Middle East; the word probably means something like donkey-men or caravan-men, perhaps originally dusty men (the Hebrew for dust is 'afar, and Hebrew f and p are closely related). They traveled and traded with their families and their flocks and herds, never settling for very long in one place. They operated sometimes as smiths and traded among other things in musical instruments."

This relief is from Nineveh, approx. 678 b.c.e. Israelites were always noted for their musical talents. They improved on and created many of the musical instruments used today. These include wind instruments, string instruments, and all types of percussive instruments (ref. Psalm 150).

Dreadlocked Israelite musicians have existed for thousands of years. Even today, many Israelite musicians associate hair with music, pride, and power. Many of the original hip-hop artists believed their hair was supposed to be in locks. This also stands true for the majority of Reggae musicians.
The Law Covenant forbid both the shaving off of the beard, and the balding of the head (ref. Lev. 19:27).
Samson's legendary hair was in the form of seven huge locks (ref. Judges 16:13).

"Even in its most primitive forms, music would have been employed by human communities for a variety of purposes.... While engaging in strenuous or monotonous work (e.g., treading grapes — Jer 25:30 and 48:33 — or digging irrigation canals or wells — Num 21:17-18 — or raising a new house or barn), musical chants could be used to help maintain the rhythm of the workers and speed completion of the day’s toil."
"Yet another common use for music and dance would have been in celebrations, both large and small. They were used to mark the major events in the life of the people or just to express their joy and contentment with life. Thus, in Eccl 3:4, in the litany of the events of life, dancing is contrasted with mourning (see also Lam 5:15 and Ps 30:12 — Eng v 11 [citations in Psalms from the Hebrew Bible are often one verse different from the English citations]). Not all frivolity was acceptable to the biblical writers, however. For example, a mocking drunkard’s song is mentioned in Ps 69:13 — Eng v 12, and in Job the sufferer observes with incomprehension that the children of the wicked dance while the wicked themselves sing to the rhythm of the tambourine, lyre, and pipe (21:11-12)...."
Remind you of gangster rap, and most forms of Hip Hop?
Sincet the economic base for most of the population, even during the monarchic period, was primarily a mixture of pastoral and agricultural activity, planting, harvesting, and sheepshearing would have been occasions for mass get-togethers and religious celebrations. Thus the maidens of Shiloh danced each year beside their vineyards (Judg 21:19-21), and the sons of David made merry at a feast following the shearing of Absalom’s sheep (2 Sam 14:28). In the case of the Shiloh festival and the maiden’s dance in Cant [Song of Songs] 6:13, dancing provided an opportunity for eventual matchmaking, serving both a religious purpose and aiding in the perpetuation of the community (Eaton 1975: 137)....
Blacks to this day go out and use this a chance to observe the opposite sex at their best. Black's and their fashion must have some connection. Although melanin explains much for the rhythm of African Americans, yet this does not explain why we exceed so successfully.
With the establishment of a royal court, new applications for music and dance were introduced. The coronation of kings was announced by the blaring of trumpets (2 Sam 15:10; 1 Kgs 1:39), and in Solomon’s case a procession marching to the tune of pipes (1 Kgs 1:40). The latter marks an intentional paralleling of his father’s career. David had also entered Jerusalem in procession as the ark of the covenant was brought to the new capital city. On that occasion the people sang as they marched to the sound of lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals (2 Sam 6:5). Upon reaching the city, David both worshiped and demonstrated his right to rule through the power or Yahweh and the ark by dancing "with all his might" as horns played (vv 14-15). It is quite likely that David’s dance and procession were subsequently reenacted by his successors to the throne, thereby legitimizing their rule and invoking the covenant Yahweh made with David (see Psalm 132; Eaton 1975: 138).
There are in fact a whole group of "enthronement psalms" (among them Psalms 2; 20; 72; 89; 101; 110; 144) which reiterate the Davidic dynasty’s right to rule and which were probably used in an autumnal festival to commemorate its founding (Johnson 1967: 68-72; Mowinckel 1962: 152).
Among the events that would have taken place in this annual festival is a grand procession, perhaps using Psalm 68, which exhorts the people: "Sing to God, sing praises to his name" (v 5 — Eng v 4), in its opening chant. Priests and nobles, advisers and representatives of designated tribes, would march through the streets of Jerusalem to the temple with "the singers in front, the minstrels last, between them maidens playing timbrels" (v 26 — Eng v 25)....
