[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ I don't want to go off topic as to whether ancient Israelites could be called 'black' or not. The point is that the ancient Israelites seemed to have associated 'shakhor' (black) skin with foreigners to their south which were given the ethnic name 'Cushim'. The Assyrians in their annals made note of a kingdom or country of Cush in Arabia well before the rise of the 25th dynasty in Egypt. Thus Biblical 'Cush' as I have expounded had more to do with Arabian populations than African ones of Nubia. And of course these black peoples did have a significant impact and on the Israelite peoples themselves in terms of culture and overall population. [/QB][/QUOTE]
