Chapter 1 : Ancient Historians Speaking About The Israelites Being Black

Ancient historians have stated that the Israelites were a Black/African race of people. That should be no surprise considering that Israel is literally right next to Egypt( Africa.)

Over a thousand years ago, around 100 AD, a Roman historian and senator named Tacitus, wrote about the Israelites in his book, Histories, saying, “Many assure us they were a race of Ethiopian origin.”

In other words, Tacitus stated that Israelites were of Black African descent. The Roman Empire invaded and occupied Israel, therefore they had direct contact with the 12 tribes of Israel and they knew what they looked like.

It is worth nothing that Abraham the forefather of the Israelite nation was from Chaldea. Modern day Iraq.

Historians stated that the inhabitants of where Abraham came from (Chaldea) were Black.

The British historian Godfrey Higgins wrote in the 17th century book Anacalypsis, about the race of the Chaldeans. Higgins wrote this in his book, see below :

“I admit with great difficulty the theory of all the early astronomical knowledge of the chaldees having been acquired or invented by his race, and that the Chaldeas were orginally negroes”

In the 1870’s, an American politican,minister and anthropological writer, named John D Baldwin stated in his book titled, Pre-Historic Nations:

“ All the best qualified investigators agree that the evidence already obtained shows conclusively the Cushite or Ethiopian origin of Chaldea.”

Around 7 B.C. , thousands of years ago, the Greek historian named Strabo stated how the most reputable reports stated that the Israelites were the descendants of Ancient Egyptians (Black Africans)

“But though the inhabitants are mixed up thus, the most prevalent of the accredited reports in regard to the temple at Jerusalem represents the ancestors of the present Judaeans, as they are called, as Aegyptians.”

— Strabo, The Geography of Strabo, Volume 3, pg. 177

Sidenote: Surprisingly there are still some people who don’t believe that the Ancient Egyptians were Black. That is a different conversation which I will not focus on in this article but, one can simply click the link right here or below, which proves that the Ancient Egyptians were Black Africans.

Due to racial prejudices or just out right ignorance, many people refuse to believe or are unaware that black people.

In the book of Exodus, in the Bible , Moses who was an Israelite, was mistaken for/resembled the Ancient Egyptians.

As you can see so far, history shows that the original Israelites were a African race of people. This should not be a surprise, because Israel is right off the coast of Africa. After the Romans invaded Israel, many, if not all of the tribes fled to West Africa.
