[QUOTE]Originally posted by King_Scorpion: [QB] The very term might cause one to chuckle and grin...or think it's the result of some afrocentrict propaganda. But in this thread, I will show you that there is nothing afro-centrict about it...there is nothing anti-semitic about telling it like it is either. http://www.angelfire.com/sd/occultic/hebrew.html http://www.hebrewisraelites.org/physicalapp.htm The last site is mostly a religious one, but the sections they have about the Physical Appearance is important to the discussion. Let's start at the beginning...with the Patriach of the Israelites...Abraham. He is said to have been from Ur, in Ancient Mesopotamia. It has been stated by a number of scholars that the ancient Sumerians were akin to the modern Black Dravidians of India. The Sumerians also had an affinity with a people known as the Elamites, the very first "Semitic" group mentioned in the Bible (Gen. 10:22). The fact that linguist David McAlpin has hypothesized that the Elamite language may have a genetic relation to Dravidian languages supports this claim...he calls it Elamo-Dravidian. These are some pictures from walls of the Ancient Elamites... [IMG]http://www.hebrewisraelites.org/images/babyloian3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.hebrewisraelites.org/images/babylonian.jpg[/IMG] Now, let's jump to Ancient Egypt. There has been some debate on this forum about whether or not the Israelites were ever in Ancient Egpyt, then whether or not they were persecuted and fled. But for the sake of the discussion, let's take the Biblical account (why you ask...because it's the only detailed account we have). The Old Testement is really the entire history of the "Jews." It says that Jacob and his family (roughly 70 people or so) left Canaan, and migrated to Egypt. By the time they left (which is also under dispute) they were a nation of people. Now, I'm not here to talk about the Exodus...because that's a matter of belief. But, they undoubtedly intermarried with the native population...a BLACK civilization! The biblical Hebrews were indistinguishable from native Egyptians and Ethiopians. The Bible is full of examples which demonstrates this, and even ancient secular historians remarked of the physical appearances of the Hebrews. The historian Tacitus, for example, stated that it was a common opinion among the Romans that the Jews "were an Ethiopian race." In Roman times PalestinianIsraelites were classed among Black Africans because it was almost impossible to tell them apart. The Eurocentric idea is that the African "Jew" is some new thing...when it's not. Actually, it's quite the contrary as it has been shown that modern European Jews are actually the descendents of converts from Greco-Roman and Medieval times. I suggest you all the The 13th Tribe by Arthur Koestler (who was a Jew himself)! The book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Ghengis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars, themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry. The cradle of western Jewry is the result of a Empire of converts!!! Which means, most if not all of Europeans Jews can claim no descendency to the Ancient Israelites!! Now, it doesn't mean they aren't Jews...since judiasm is nothing more than a religion...anybody can be a Jew and still lay claim to its religious benefits (if you believe anyway). Once again, this is not an anti-semitic argument...this is an argument to find out about the Ancient Israelites...not the Khazars. I'm tired of typing so I'm going to stop right here. But read those links I posted above. Though, I do believe this subject is far from closed and there still needs to be a lot more research done. [/QB][/QUOTE]
