[QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [QB] As for black Israelites, this is the realm of fantasy. There may have been a few early Christians in Rome with African origins, but most of the catacomb images are not as swarthy as the ones shown... The earliest surviving Christian art from Egypt does not support black Israelism either...

Now why would black early Christians ever paint white saints if there was even a rumour that the Israelites in the Holy Land were black? Here is an Egyptian paintings of ancient Semites: mostly not what you call black, but rather with similar features and skin tones to modern Palestinians...
