Same here. If these peoples were so-called blacks who migrated out of the Nile valley, why do they speak a different language and have a different religion from AEs? With the eception of Akhenaton, AEs were a primarily polytheistic people. If anyone believes that Israelites were migrants from the Nile Valley they must also believe that these same Jews built the pyramids, which is nothing more than false Zionsit propaganda.

People of Jewish descent do have a significant amount of E3b probably from Egypt though. Primarily Eurasian is still accurate.

These two concepts have no corelation.
I think there was no Israel until ex-Egyptian nationals named themselves such but I do not think the subset of Israel known as Jews built any pyramids.
I don't know how Zionism enters the picture as a people making a homeland nation in today's Levant has nothing to do with the subject header. Nor does the relevant Hebrew literature make any claim other than Hebrews involved with work on two Egyptian cities Pithom and Ramses(sp?), the word pyramid dose not appear in Hebrew literature of TN"K.
This only shows a pre-formed ideological base behind your thinking disallowing you to even try to objectively weigh any evidence. But then, the threads broacher has already made plain his anti-HebrewIsraelite ideology which is coloring his approach to ancient Judah and Israel.
But maybe that's just what this thread is for, ideological axe grinding.

Mesopatamians are often referred to as Eurasian becuase of the obvious influence they have had in both Europe and Asia. When it comes to Africa it would appear that the influence has been more the other way around if I follow this forum correctly.

Just to clarify - Hebrews are Mesopatamians in origin. There is no point in trying to argue around that. The term Hebrew was first used in Mesopatamia. They self acknowledge their origins from this area through all of their traditions.

Also I am not referring to the Hebrew language which is clearly Afroasiatic. I am refering to the origin of the word itself and when it was first applied. From Jewish tradition the word was first applied to Abraham before he left Mesopatamia. Certainly it was translated into Hebrew and Aramaic. However, the first Hebrew is still defined as the Patriach Abraham.
Hebrew is a title or nickname rather than a personal name. It was initially given to Abram but later came to denote the Israelites.
The word Hebrew comes from the verb (abar) meaning to pass over, through, take away. The first application of this word is in the name Eber. The second application is in the first occurrence of the word , Hebrew in Gen 14:13, where Abram is called Hebrew. The first case of narrative use of this verb is in the enigmatic cadaver vision of Gen 15:17, "...there appeared a smoking furnace and a flaming torch that passed between these parts."
Basically Nomadic wanderer. Unless we argue that Abram was a legendary figure only, essentially we are saying that the Patriach of the Jewish people was a Mesopatmian regardless of the language used by his descendants later.
How one then concludes that Jewish people are of African origins claiming a Mesopatamian Patriach is quite a strange confusion. J2 haplotype is clearly non-African and is the marker commonly used to define people of the region from which Abram purportedly descended and as well as the marker of people who to this day who speak Hebrew and or Aramaic.

Afro-Asiatic is a language, not a biological affinity. Eurasian is not synonymous with Europe. In biological terms Eurasian relates to people whose primary ancestral lineages derived outside of Africa. The citizens of the ancient Kingdoms of Judah and Israel would be one such case.
Certainly when we speak of the Early Upper Paleolithic we can speak of the Levant as an extension of Africa in terms of population affinity. By the Late Upper Paleolithic the people of the Levant had adapted with cold-climate characteristics consistent with Eurasian derivation.

This is a fringe archaeology concept. Though I would view this as a **possibility** and not a probability. Even if such were the case the gene pool within Egypt from which these Egyptian ex-nationals derived would have been heterogeneous in that since the Hyksos Invasion Lower and Middle Egypt had been substantially impacted by incursions ultimately deriving from Central Asia. This is well attested in the archaeological record and supported by the biological research conducted on New and Late Kingdom remains found in Lower Egypt.
Furthermore, the people of Israel and Judah derived from the heterogeneous peoples of Lower and Middle Egypt they would have certainly been further absorbed into the dominant Eurasian gene pool extant in the Levant present since the pre-LGM.

You are not making any sense. Modern day Arabs which are descendents of Hebrews from ancient time have non-African J2. If you are saying that the Israelites who conquered Canaan and then was dispersed into Europe by the Romans were actually African then where is the genetic link? Only a minority of modern day Jews have E3b. The people living in the area of question do not have African genes by any large frequency. So are you just in denial or what? It is not as if we don't know what happened to the Jews of Israel. They simply intermmarried with local populations but the paternal heritage can be traced and it is called - J2.

Well thats a simple one. The story of Adam and Eve is certainly not African in origin but rather Masopatamian. And then lets start with the 10 commandments which is Sumerian. I can go on and on with it but it would be boring.

There was very little Asiatic influence in Africa prior to the Hysok invasion. Two separate worlds. Hebrew origins are still Mesopatamian since well before the time of Hammurabi. Basically look at the Ur-Nammu code and you will see the Asiatic influence in Hebrew traditions.

The spread of the Afro-Asiatic languages from East Africa into the Levant is intriguing. However, Afro-Asian speakers are not all closely related now are they? J2 clades are still non-African West Asians irregardless of the language they speak. They also have a culture that has large non-African component that is Mesopatamian in origin.

^ May I add that despite the Afrasian/African origins of the Hebrew language, many aspects of Hebrew beliefs are also common with Mesopotamian beliefs as well. This is seen in mythos such as the garden with trees that produce fruits of knowledge and life as well as the serpent and woman taking and sharing the fruit, the great flood survived by a man and his family via an ark etc. Besides that, other elements such as the reckoning of lineages and clans through patriarchs are very much akin to those of other Semitic speaking nomads of Southwest Asia in fact like the 'Arabs' to be precise.
As far as Egyptian Atenism, that is very different from Jewish Yahweh in that Aten was the sun, whereas Yahweh is creator of all including the sun. Not to mention the fact that even during Atenism, Akhenaton still maintained the divine status of pharaoh meaning that the himself was also a god worthy of worship. Something like that would be blasphemous to early Israelites.

There is a 3 volume set of books detailing Greco-Latin authors on the territory which supposedly was Israel and Judah of the Hebrews. There is little, if any mention of a Judahite people by the Greek writers. Cherilus in listing the components of Xerxes armies describes some ostensibly from the hills about Jerusalem
quote:... they spake the Phoenician tongue with their mouths; ...their heads were sooty; they had round rasures on them; their heads and faces were like nasty horse heads also, that had been hardened in the smoke.
The posted translation comes from William Whiston, dated 1884.
E.H. Gifford, 1903, gave the following in translation
quote: ... whose lips pronounced the strange Phoenician tongue; ... Rough and unkempt their close-cropped hair, and on their heads they wore the smoke-dried skin flayed from a horse's face.
I took the original Greek to native Grecian history buffs who'd studied ancient Greek and even to abunas in the Orthodox Church. None of them could offer a translation. I purposely told them nothing about the ancient Greek words except it was something I found in a book and could you please tell me what it says.
I take it the reference to horse heads emphasizes the jaw and cheekbone structure of the Judaeans (you can see how prominent the jaw and cheekdones are in Sennacherib's bas-reliefs of the citizenry of Lachish. Sooty and "smokey" speak for themselves complexion-wise.
Greek mythology located an Aithiopia in Joppa/Yaffa, which is today's Tell Aviv, ruled over by Cepheus who's daughter was Andromeda. Nothing historic but they surely matched peoples and places in a fashion that was true to reality as they percieved it.
I think Joppa was among the southern and coastal cities of the Levant, i.e., the Gaza Strip and north of it. Risdon's study, deemed downlevel by today's standards yet not disputed in its conclusions by Keita's assessment of the relevant osteo remains, found the same general physiognomy in inland Lachish as in the Gaza to Joppa coastal region.

I can't believe this topic has resurfaced ...
Listen, when one truly discover what the ancient Ys/Ra/El\Ar truly believed then and only then can this topic reach a final conclusion. With this being said:
1. Ancient Yisra'el was not a monotheistic culture and yes it is true, they believe and knew that there were many gods. Psalms 82 and Genesis chapter 1 ... look for words like US, OUR, etc when the Gods are talking ...
2.) Like Akhenaten they choose one deity which they (Moshe) wanted to serve ... Period! (Deuteronomy 32:7-9) look for the word Lord and inheritance ... But more importantly ... Moshe asked for Yahveh to be the god of Yisra`el.
3.) Moses himself was made into a God by so-called Yahweh (Exodus 7:1) ... Thus Monotheism is not in the ancient cards ...
once you get past the fact this was not a monotheistic group of people, then you can see the parallels in the religious doctrines ...
1.) Melchizedek was also called Adonizedek ... Adon/Aton/Aten which translate as Atenizedek which means 'Aten the righteous'. (Jasher 88:55).
When Melchizedek was king of Salem which was Canaan. In the time line of his supposedly existence Canaan was a providence of Kemet.
2.)The ancient City of Zoan spelling is extremely close to that of Zion ...
3.) The battle between Kayin/Cain and Abel is the battle between Set and Ausar.
4.) Yah/Jah (Psalms 68:4) came from Kemet as acknowledged in Hosea 13:4
5.) 10 commandment comes from the 42 confusions ...
6.) Aaron was the spokes person and I would venture to say king, Moses was the High Priest. Moses had a speech problem ...
Aaron's name is actually Aharon which is similar to Akhenaton. Moses/Moshe has a speech problem just like Akhenaton's brother who's name was Thot[Moses].
7.)Once again, Melchizedek is the same as Adon/Atenizedek and Melchizedek said to Abraham, Blessed by Abraham of the Most High ... Well The Most High deity of Abraham was Aten.
8.)Ab-Ra-Hem/Ham - Servant of Ra's will ...
9.) Yis-Ra-El/Ar - Place of Ra Worship
10.) 17 years of plagues during the time of Akhenaten ... Moshe was the one who supposedly brought about these plagues
Akhenaten worshiped Aten just like Atenizedek and Abraham.
We can continue to keep going but the it will take all day for me to show how the ancient Yisra`elites were of Kemetic origins ... They assumed some of the Semitic teaching when entering the lands, but not originally. Some believe the other way around but naw ... they were kemetic folks i.e. Africans.
I think there has to be an in depth look into the history of ancient Kemetic and Israel's connection.
