NEGROES
ARE NOT HAMITE
Examining the races that Noah's sons
produced provides evidence regarding the TRUE APPEARANCE of the ISRAELITES.
Noah's youngest son HAM was the father of the African races which include the
Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and the Canaanites. However, those who
eventually became known as NEGROES did NOT come from HAM. Since NEGROES are
BLACK, for centuries many have INACCURATELY assumed that they derived from HAM.

So - Called Negroes sold as Slaves
This assumption that ALL BLACK PEOPLES derived from
HAM most likely originated from the misinterpretation written in the BABYLONIAN
TALMUD. The TALMUD provides a much DISTORTED explanation of the purported
"curse of Ham" which reads as follows:
Our Rabbis taught: three copulated on the ark, and they were
all punished-the dog, the raven and Ham. The dog was doomed to be tied, the
raven expectorates (his seed into his mates' mouth) and Ham was smitten in
skin.
They are several instances of ISRAELITES being mistaken for
EGYPTIANS in the Bible. This misidentification obviously indicates that the TRUE
EGYPTIANS and ISRAELITES have SIMILIAR SKIN TONE. However, prior to examine the
Biblical accounts of ISRAELITES being mistaken for EGYPTIANS, it is necessary
to touch upon the ongoing CONTROVERSY concerning the COLOR of the EGYPTIANS.
According to the Holy Bible, the father of the
Ancient Egyptians is Mizraim, Ham's second oldest son. As has been already
noted, Ham is the progenitor of the African races. It is simply a FACT that
although Egypt is contemporarily considered to be apart of the Arab world, it
rests on the African Continent. And, before the Arab conquests, Egypt was
predominately inhabited by the original BLACK EGYPTIANS.
Now, the Greek Herodotus visited Egypt in the 5th century B.C. He came into contact with EGYPTIANS and described them as DARK-SKINNED and WHOLLY HAIRED.
Herodotus wrote:
For the people of Colchis
are evidently Egyptian, and this I perceived for myself before I hear it from
others. So when I had come to consider the matter I asked them both; and the
Colchians had remembrance of the Egyptians more than the Egyptians of the
Colchians; but the Egyptians said they believed that the
Colchians were a portion of the army of Sesostric. That this was so I
conjectured myself not only because they are DARK-SKINNED and have CURLY HAIR
(this of itself amounts to nothing, for there are other races which are so),
but also still more because the Colchians, Egyptians, and Ethiopians alone of all
races have practiced circumcision from the first.
It should be noted that Herodotus was not attempting to provide evidence that the Egyptians were a BLACK RACE OF PEOPLE; rather he was trying to prove the origin of the Colchis and compared the two groups.
When disputing various theories of why the Nile unlike other rivers does not give rise to any breezes blowing from it, in The Histories, Herodotus also mentions the Egyptians SKIN COLOR.
Indeed this way has no more truth in it than the
rest, alleging as it does that the Nile flows from melting snow; whereas it
flows out of Libya through the midst of the Ethiopians, and so comes out into
Egypt. How then should it flow from snow, when it flows from the HOTTEST parts
to those which are COOLER? And indeed most of the FACTS are such as to convince
a man (one at east capable of reasoning about such matters), that it is not at
all likely that it flows from snow.
The first and greatest evidence is afforded by the
winds, which blow from these regions (Egypt, Ethiopia, & Libya); the second
is that the land is rainless always and without frost, whereas after snow has
fallen rain must necessarily come within five days, so that if it snowed in
those parts rain would fall there; the third evidence is afforded by the people
dwelling there (Egyptians, Ethiopians, and Libyans), who are of BLACK COLOR by
reason of the BURNING HEAT.
So in conclusion, if the Ancient EGYPTIANS were DARK-SKINNED people and ISRAELITES were mistaken for them, then this is enough proof that the ISRAELITES were also DARK-SKINNED people, but NOT HAMITES, they are SHEMITES.
