So why not wisely chose the three highest Lachish officials

The man has a beard. I have only seen these figures described as Judeans or prisoners from Lachish

And there are also women and children here

But there are a lot of books and articles on it
as I'm sure you know. Maybe you can find a text reference referring specifically to this

The Assyrians seem to have the much longer beards
cut straight on the bottom

Also see the next post.
These men with the ear flapped helmets or caps,
they may be Lachish soldiers and the men with no head coverings and in the long gown type garments are regular Lachish non-military, same type people.
Alternate theory, Assyrian booty collectors
but they seem affiliated with these women and the wheeled carts

this website describes this as

The defenders — Hebrew soldiers — are positioned on one of the city wall’s towers, trying to ward off the Assyrians. A solider is throwing an arrow, while his companions are throwing stones and rocks. The surrounding environment is bombarded with fire torches and stones. From Nineveh (modern-day Mosul Governorate, Iraq), Room XXXVI of the southwest palace, panel 7. The British Museum, London.

Description
Gypsum wall panel relief: showing an assault on Lachish. Siege engines lead way up artificial ramps; inside, men with ladles pour water to prevent them being set alight by torches thrown from walls. A procession of men and women stream out of town, ready for exile.

Images from the top of this post and the post before it. We see stone thrower here in the center between two other comrades defending the tower form the Assyrians.
Below him from a different part of the same reliefs
one of the men who carries the box-like object on his shoulders, previous post, women in front of him. They appear to have the same cap or helmet
The flap over the ears is there and in it's lower portion a fringe, if not some kind of pattern of thin parallel lines
However with the stone thrower at the tower, other comrades who appear to be defending the tower also have those other cone shaped hats like Assyrians do.
Not sure what all this adds up to. There could be some overlap between the garb of Lachish and Assyrian military

@Tukuler

Nice work... archeotypery has once again been caught and exposed for being pseudo. Ish Geber already called him out in the other thread for his incorrect usage of an image, yet he posted it again in this thread as if nobody saw him get called out.

He only created this thread because he's triggered by the fact that I've been sharing info about how Jews were black.

Sculpture head

There is no tangible evidence that ancient Jews in the Levant were black. They looked like other Levantine peoples. Their descendants exist in the area still today.

DNA from the Bible's Canaanites lives on in modern Arabs and Jews

This Monday, June 4, 2018 photo shows a detailed figurine of a king's head on display at the Israel Museum, dating to biblical times, and found last year near Israel's northern border with Lebanon, in Jerusalem. A palm-sized enigmatic sculpture of a king's head dating back nearly 3,000 years has set off a modern-day mystery caper as scholars try to figure out whose face it depicts. The 5-centimeter (2-inch) head is an exceedingly rare example of figurative art from the Holy Land during the 9th century BC, a period associated with biblical kings. (AP Photo/Ilan Ben Zion)

The 5-centimeter (2-inch) sculpture is an exceedingly rare example of figurative art from the Holy Land during the 9th century B.C. — a period associated with biblical kings. Exquisitely preserved but for a bit of missing beard, nothing quite like it has been found before.

While scholars are certain the stern bearded figure wearing a golden crown represents royalty, they are less sure which king it symbolizes, or which kingdom he may have ruled.

In 922 B.C., the nation of Israel was torn into two nations, Israel to the north and Judah to the south. Israel was racked by internal tribal differences and, subsequently, became susceptible to frequent invasions.
Biography


quote:
King Hazael? A detailed figurine of a king's head on display at the Israel Museum, dating to biblical times, and found near Israel's northern border with Lebanon, in Jerusalem.

“The guy kind of represents the generic way Semitic people are described,” she said.

Because Carbon-14 dating cannot give a more exact date for the statue’s creation other than sometime in the 9th century, the field of potential candidates is large. Yahalom-Mack posited it could be kings Ben Hadad or Hazael of Damascus, Ahab or Jehu of Israel, or Ithobaal of Tyre, all characters appearing in the biblical narrative.

Times of Israel



quote:
In one biblical story, a traitor to King David seeks refuge in the town. King David’s army besieges it and demands the traitor be given up. In response, the people of Abel Beth Maacah cut off the traitor’s head and toss it over the walls. Getting what they wanted, the Israelites end the siege.

[…]

The sculpture itself is only two inches in size. It’s well preserved and mostly intact. The figure has a beard and is wearing a crown. It’s considered a rare example of figurative art during that time period. Figurative art is defined as representational art derived from real objects or people. The hairstyle of the figure with a beard gives some clues to his ethnic identity.

The hair is pulled back in thick locks that cover the ears and is held in place by a striped headband. The art form is similar to how ancient Egyptian artists portrayed Semitic peoples of the Near East.

It’s still not known who the head depicted is and from what nationality they were from, though it’s likely a royal figure. The man portrayed was certainly an important person in his community.

But they have no clue what king it may have been or from which kingdom. The time period of the sculpture is from the period of biblical kings. After the death of David’s son, King Solomon, the Kingdom of Israel split into two entities with separate kingships, Israel in the north and Judah in the south.

Scholars have guessed at some contemporary names the sculpture could represent. They include biblical figures such as King Ben Hadad or Hazael of Damascus, Ethbaal of Tyre, and King Ahab or Jehu of Israel, whose capital was Samaria.

Knowing what king it might be would answer some questions. However, there are no known references or sources to check outside of the Bible narrative.

Thx 4 the beard precision.

I don't need co-sign of my take on Lachish.
Have studied Sennacherib's slabs for decades
and was the first to post any part of them
on the internet 23 years ago.


Its time you hied yourself to composing original
analysis instead of often regurgitating what's
already published somewhere that can be shown
often enough to be weak quasi-evidence.


Anyway we've discussed identitiies of various
entities on the slabs before but I guess it's
best to repost here now and update as needed.

I'm in no hurry so take it away if you will.


Meanwhile more Lachish

* And in my previous post (the portion of the post where I quote Ish Geber calling archeotypery out), you can also see that archeotypery referenced this DNA study in an attempt to prove that modern inhabitants of the Levant are the same as the ancients.

But archeotypery was playing on peoples' ignorance and was hoping that no one was familiar with the study or had actually read it before. Because the study clearly says the DNA examined from the "canaanites" was actually a mixture of DNA from people who had migrated from the caucusus.

In other words, archeotypery completely misrepresented the study, because he is pseudo.

About the sculpture head, of course it is contested exactly who it depicts since it did not came with a name tag, but nothing rule out it is a king. And it is still not a "negroid" head

This scene is described by the British Museum as depicting prisoners from Lachish

https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1856-0909-14_5

Note at top there are two pictures running together
That is how it goes on the relief. I couldn't find
a continuous picture of it but that is how it was on the actual relief, as one
Also note that the upper right photo itself is often not seen whole. The museum displays that in separate sections. Look at the little girl in the front of the cart. Running right through her is actually a crack line that goes all the way across up and down but this photo was taken when they put to together. Now however it shown as two separate pieces. None of this however is important.

The man in the center part of the same much larger scene with fig and olive trees in the background is driving an ox.
Similarly the man on the upper right is a man driving an ox and carrying a sack (same guy repeated larger at the bottom)
Several of the figures are carrying sacks including the men on the upper left who also carry
goblets of some sort.
At the lower right women also carry sacks.
The man at the top center carrying a box-like object has a beard that is hard to see but I showed it previously. He has one of those helmets or caps with ear flaps. Similarly the ox driver in the center has on of them also.
The ox driver on the upper right is rare in these reliefs (same dude is shown again at the very bottom) He's rare due to the fact that he's carrying a sack. There are many other figures like him not carrying sacks and they have long gowns on. One Assyrian is at top middle with a spear . He has no sack or ox.

Anyway what is the point of this?
The point is that all of these figures except the Assyrians seem to be in "pack your belongings and
belongings and get out mode"
This leads my to believe that the two ox carriers
one with the cap and no beard and shaven maybe be the same ethnic type as the other ox driver with the beard but I'm not sure about it.
My theory is that this group are people packing their bags and ox and carts forced to leave the city while the others, maybe they are being shown in some sort of religious mode and also some being tortured by the Assyrians, possibly a priest class.
Or that this scene above is people already and outside of the city while in other scenes the other people are still inside the city and being confronted by the Assyrians.

About the article, it actually says that parts of ancient Levantine DNA lives on in modern Jews and Arabs. A certain mix is to be expected since the Levant has always been an area where many ancient cultures and peoples have met and interacted. The full article illustrates this in a graphic form. But some of the mixing took place already before and during the Bronze age, an age in which Judaism as we know it came to be. Which still means that DNA from that time lives on even in todays populations

 -

But this thread is about depictions, not genetic studies. So stop spamming with a lot of stuff that do not belong in the thread.

I already know that some people always want to twist everything and try to prove that ancient Israelites were "negroids". Especially Tazarah. It seems he can not be interested in ancient cultures if he does not believe they were "negroid". He calls me "Nazi", but he seems to be a black-centric fanatic who spams the whole ES with his preconceived notions about ancient "black" peoples and other propaganda.

According to scholars, this isn't even what you claim or try to imply it is. They have no idea if it was even an Israelite, or what kingdom he ruled, or if he even ruled one at all.

Nobody ever said that there wasn't caucasian people in the Levant. That's a strawman argument, because you're pseudo -- as multiple others have already pointed out.

You misrepresented that study, just like you're misrepresenting that caucasian "Israelite" head sculpture.

You can't use a DNA study that deals with mixed ancient populations as a way to claim modern inhabitants with some of that DNA are ancient Israelites.

All that study proves is that modern inhabitants of the Levant are likely descendants of ancient migrants from the caucusus who intermingled with the natives.

The Y-DNA of the majority of modern jewish people did not originate in the Levant, that is a genetic fact.

You are pseudo.

Top right who researchers call either "Asiatics", "Syrians" or "Syro-Palestinians"

Again, no evidence for being Israelites in particular. Semitic speakers ? That also may not be provable

I already made a thread about this, upper left a higher res version of yours

Unfortunately, there is no inscription on these tiles fixing the name of the peoples represented; we are forced to compare with the bas-reliefs of the temples or the paintings of the tombs to find a similar type and we are sometimes perplexed.

these tiles are at different museums and thus their identities have been guessed at sometimes differently. Upper left had been called "Shasu Bedouin", the bottom left a "Philistine",
next to him, lower right a "Palestinian"
All of these figures have some similarity in hairstyle and could all be the same ethnicity, thus any of these names could attributed to any one of them, it's guessing.
I have never heard of any of them being called Israelites. One probably even couldn't say with confidence they are necessarily Levantine

See? Unlike Sennacherib who indisputably depicts ancient Jews
our melanophobe polemicist is forced to admit any Israelite
identity of anyone on Shalmanessar's stone is questionable.

So why bring it on? It's weak quasi-evidence at best.

Prejudice bigotry bias and hate mainly inform
our anti-black polemicist who still refuses to
recognize much less accept the actual Lachish Jews.


Hatred of blacks prevents admission of Sennacherib's
Lachish portraiture for what it is, the earliest
authenticated imagery of Israelites. In this
case of the tribes and Kingdom of Judah.

Hate hate hate.
Shame shame shame.

The study tells us that the DNA from the bronze age lives on in modern Jews and Arabs. As I said there are also intermixing with other peoples, but that took place already in the Bronze age, so when Judaism became a religion among certain Semites the mixing would already have taken place.

What is it about the concept "DNA from the Bible's Canaanites lives on in modern Arabs and Jews" you do not understand??

Also the head is found in what is today Israel and it even look rather like many other representations of the Semites of that time. Compare it with for example the picture of Jehu on the Black Obelisk. At least it shows that not everyone in that part of the world was "negroid" in the 9th century BC, as Tazarah wants us to believe.

Back to the images, I will from now ignore Tazarahs black-centric stupid spam and babble.

Here is some later pictures of people in what is today Israel, from the late 19th and early 20th centuries

 -

Jews in Jerusalem 1860

 -

One of the earliest photographs of Jews praying at the Western Wall of Herod's Temple, 1870s.

 -

Jews from Ottoman time

 -

The funeral of a rabbi in Jerusalem, 1903

 -

Samaritan, 1905

@archeotypery

1. You completely ignored how studies on Y-DNA of modern jewish populations does not support the conclusion you reach via that DNA article.

2. That head sculpture is not an Israelite, scholars do not know who he was, what is race was, or if he even ruled anything at all. It's just a random head.

If no one knows who the sculpted head is how can you know it is not an Israelite? That is only your guess.

The study I referred to said that DNA from the bronze age lives on in modern Jews and Arabs. I believe more in them than any random black-centric fanatics on the Internet. But now this thread is not about genetics but about ancient depictions. Do not distort the thread. Create your own thread about ancient DNA if you like.

So in trying to figure out if this is some sort of curly hair or the particular afro type most Africans have, look at the Assyrian at left the bottom of his hair looks exactly the same as the Lachish hair so does that represent larger scale curls, curly hair or does it represent afro type hair in particular ?

They are part is what is called "biblical archaeology"
that is not the the most typical type.
It tends to be conducted by people who have a bias toward wanting to confirm what is written in a religious text, the bible (often are Christians although sometimes Jews)

Calling those figures "Israelite slaves" is a perfect example of what you like to call "pseudo"

Biblical archaeology does not equal christian archaeologists.

That assertion is pseudo.

P.S., is this you originally arguing that J is a legitimate marker for Jews, only to then deny ever claiming this after I debunked you and showed that J did not even originate in the Levant, but came from the caucusus instead? Rofl

This is why I should not respond to you because you are constantly lying about what I say
If you look at J, researchers are not certain it came from but you are so polemical the first thing one of them says you agree with you roll with, it's called "confirmation bias" you do it constantly
Additionally J doesn't have to be native to Israel it only has to be present at the time of the Israelites for them to have potentially carried it
but it is not known what they carried, Could have been E or T also

Third you ignored this in the other thread >>

====================


There is no "ancient Hebrew" DNA available.
There is Levantine ancDNA from various eras
and sites. None can be identified as "Hebrew".
ancDNA doesn't speak any language.

DNA of any variety is no guarantee of Jewishness.
For over 1500 years and in every Jewish ethnic
community with a thousand years of continuity
a Jew is defined as:
  1. one born of a Jewish mother
  2. one who converts to Judaism per halakha.

Imma (mother) Sarah was the first female convert
just as father Abraham was the first male convert.
They converted to 'proto-Judaism' (list item 2).
She mothered the seed of Abraham.

All seed fulfill the list item 1 requirement. Their
mothers are 'Jewish' because converted by father
or else born of a Jewish womb themselves.

Rebecca mothered her cousin Isaac's seed.

Jacob's cousins Rachel and Leah along with their
handmaid kin Bilhah and Zilpah mothered his seed.

Jacob's sons' seed is of nuclear family 'sisters'
else converted southeast Levantines, Egyptians,
foreigners nationalized as Egyptian whether of
Sudan, northern Africa, or Arabian Plate antecedents.

Pedigree to Sarah is an impossibility as
her female line does not go down to the Tribes.
Nor can any Jew trace mothers back to Ribh*qah.
Same for Rahhel, Le'ah, Bil*hah and Zil*pah too.
Nonetheless these are the Mothers of Israel we
remember in our prayer service and lamentations.

After the Three Patriarchs Israels quit in-family marriage. But
remember even Grandfather Abraham had an Egyptian pilegesh.
Yosef son of Ya`aqob/Yisra'el married an Egyptian.
Right there at Israel's beginnings, even before
the Exodus it's seen Israelites weren't biological
purity obsessed Nazis.

Upon Exodus an entourage known as the `ereb rab
joined the descendants of Jacob/Israel and they
too are among the first members of `Am Yisra'el
the Nation/Peoplehood of Israel. No holy scripture
record was kept as to which post-Exodus 'Members
of the Tribe' i.e., Israelites/Jews, come from this
so-called "Mixed Multitude" lineage.

Moishe Rabbeynu himself is censured by his sister
Miriam because "he did marry a Kushite". Torah
knows no other wife than Qeturah of Midian
and Nakh twins Midian with Kushan.

The ancient Israelites, whether tribal or of the
Kingdoms of Judah or Israel, mated with every
people they met and the Levant is nexus for
three continents. The Rabbi's say one reason
for our Exile is to spread 'the Jewish Idea'
--a concept/book of/by R Meir Kahane (z"l)--
among the nations of the World.

Consequently all ethnic Jewish communities, and
especially those outside Eress, are composed of
a core of former Judaean citizenry who made
righteous converts and took them on as spouses.
The Rabbis admonish not to oppress the convert
or throw conversion up in converts' faces.
They say those questioning others' Jewish
identity and obsess over it "stigmatize
others with one's own blemish."


====================


What HaShem, the Eternal One of Israel, wants
of Israelites is Tiyqqun `Olam, making planet
Earth a better place to live and implementing
solutions for social ills. That is our mission.


Israel was told haMashiahh will come in his time.
Either haMashiahh will come because we K*lal
Yisra'el
compel him due to adhering to Torah Law,
its Talmudhic interpretation and rulings, and the
halakhoth determined by local temporal rabbis.
Else in his time because the world has sunk
into its lowest common denominator.

In every generation there is one worthy to be
haMashiahh. It's that our inadequacies prevent
his announcement. Knowing human nature it'll
take the eschatology before he comes.


Israel's spiritual concern is not salvation.
"All Israel have a share in The World to Come."

We've been over this. You're playing dumb now. Proto-Semites had Haplogroup E, which logically means the Israelites would have had a subclade of E. Genetic fact.

J was NOT found in Levantine specimens during the neolithic transition, and J is not a subclade of E.

Genetecists say J is not afro-asiatic, and assimilated into afro-asiatic culture and adopted the customs.

This ain't rocket science, you just don't want to admit you are wrong.

stop spamming the thread with all those graphics. This is not a DNA thread. You have already posted that about 20 times in other threads. I already addressed it over and over again.
You are the most repetitious poster ever in Egyptsearch. It shows lack of confidence relying on that much graphics and overbearing thick headed repetition and constantly ignoring valid argument

I do something I strongly urge you to do more of.

I examine the primary document
and draw my conclusions therefrom
and unlike your approved sources
don't see-but-don't-see certain
phenotypes and facial profiles
and accoutrements for other
than what they are.

The sooner you do that
the sooner you can speak
from experienced authority.
Universities don't grant honorary
degrees as a joke or for nothing.


Most important and what ethnocentric
polemicists and amateur forum debaters
don't understand but really need to is
Even opposing views can be valid
when supported by solid evidence.


Once understood, discussion can replace debate.

In a discussion evryone's a winner.
Debates demand winners and losers
determined solely by popularity.

Nah, don't ask me.
Compare Rekhmire's date
against Israelite dates.

It's not about personality.
It's about what I base myself on.

The importance of Rekhmire's tribute procession
actually brought by the tribute peoples themselves
is weightier than these masons who are abused by
various parties pushing myopic ethnocentric views.

Sometimes these debates about the eventual color and phenotype of ancient Israelites, Semites and Levantines turn into something like this. It seems some people are just hell bent on placing "negroids" not only in Africa but in the Levant and surrounding lands too. Some others go even further and wanting to place them in Europe, ancient America and nearly everywhere on Earth.

Obviously one or another black person would have sat his foot in the Levant, for example during Roman and Byzantine periods. There were always slaves and other foreigners present.

The picture depicts two workers at the building of Babels tower arguing about something, a representation of the splitting of languages and cultures the tower came to represent.

I can add that most other figures on the mosaics in this synagogue represent the lighter of the two

 -

Maybe we just have to collect all pictures who can be said to represent ancient and old times Levantines, Semites or Jews and count how many look like Jews and other Levantines look today and how many can be regarded as "negroid". That combined with anthropological studies and DNA can maybe give us a hint.

It can also be noteworthy than in the areas (outside Africa) where those ancient negroids shall have lived today the majority population is not negroid. That must also be taken into consideration. All peoples did not suddenly change color at some arbitrary point in time.

I hope the thread can resume it´s subject about ancient and historical pictures of Israelites, Semites and Levantines.

See there
What's the first thing out the melanphobe polemicist's mouth

negroid

Anti-black raving can't bury
less lone alter one fact
presented in this thread
as to Jewish identity of
Sennacherib's Lachish captives
versus the internal primary
document evidence Shalmanessar's
stone shows non-native reps bearing
foreign tribute.

Who believes the people in row three are Egyptian?
The same who believe Yehu's on the Black Obelisk.
They believe (faith) they don't think (discipline).

For the above poster everything comes down
to hatred toward Africa and black peoples.

We've looked at the docs with no mention
of Africa or a black race stock or breed

For the race conscious we've presented the oldest known physical
Jewish type citing Cassius Dio in Roman History 37.17.1 observing
"... other men, who, although of a different
race, have adopted the laws of the people."

which explains why these centiuries later images look less like
the oldest ones ie the Jews of Lachish Judah's 2nd largest city.

I am rather sure that at least some posters (Tazarah) would have celebrated the sculpture head if it had been what he always calls "negroid", then there would have been no doubts in his mind. But because it is not black he doubts it.

The only thing we for certain knows that it is found in what is today Israel and is dated to 9th century. We also know it looks like many other depections of Semites including Jehu on the Black obelisk.

I am also quite sure that some posters would have more easily acknowledged the Jehu figure on the obelisk if it had looked stereotypical "negroid".

I smell some agenda by certain posters.

I do indeed not hate Africa or it´s peoples, I just see it as disingenuous to try to place black people in all sorts of ancient environments (outside Africa) where they never where in any sort of majority, or in some places where they never had any presence at all (as those who try to place black African in precolumbian Americas). It is like Eurocentrism in blackface.
