[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Askia_The_Great: [qb] [b]Part 3: Were the Ancient Jews black like other Southern Canaanites? [/b] I always held the idea of the Ancient Jews being black as nonsense due to the nonsense by radicals like the Black Hebrew Israelite's. But after doing some research around the web, I'm starting to really entertain that the early Jews were just migrating Egyptians/Ethiopians. I'm going to try and post sources that support this theory. In part 2 we already know about Africans migrating into the Levant since the Neolithic. And also how the people of Southern Canaan, (which Israel is apart of) were described. Again Southern Canaan was Egypt's oldest colony. Even during pre-dynastic times. A number of Israeli archaeologists claim ethnic Egyptians dominated some important Jewish territories which is interesting to me. Some people still believe the Jews were enslaved in Ancient Egypt, but we know from Zahi Hawass [URL=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/11/new-discovery-shows-slave_n_419326.html]article[/URL] that was not the case. But touching base on the known exodus hypothesis, Manetho and others wrote of a leprosy outbreak around 1400 BCE (Armana period) where high numbers of Egyptians and Ethiopians were forced to leave the country. I wouldn't doubt these same exiles going into Canaan and eventually taking over. Perhaps later they were seen as the Hebrew? Again Southern Canaan was Egypt's oldest [b]colony [/b]and the Hebrew retain certain customs that were once familiar to Egyptians and Ethiopians (for instance, circumcision). [/qb][/QUOTE]I suggest you read this thread about Lachish crania [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=005313]here[/URL] As for ancient depictions of Judaeans/Judahites, Tukuler originally posted these: [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MackUb31cBg/TFWh4QV2LlI/AAAAAAAAAF8/qSzE8oRyCKk/s1600/hebrew+captives.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.tasselsandbooksonline.com/cimage002.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/5328/lachish3chiefelders.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Flaying_of_rebels.jpg/640px-Flaying_of_rebels.jpg[/IMG] As Tukuler/Ardo noted interestingly there were ethnic differences between the Judaeans especially southern Judaeans and the people of Israel further north. Even though both groups tend to be lumped together as Israelites. I can't help to think that such differences may have something to do with the Retenu (Canaanites) portrayed by Egyptians as being black and white types. [/QB][/QUOTE]
