    What's your point?

    The Bible.. Psalms mentions blacks.. I am black but comely.. dark as the tent of Kedar.

    "Sng 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon."

    Uh oh... looks like you are mistaken about the mention of blacks.

    Races weren't really invented yet.
    Just tribes or clans.
    The bible writers didn't know a world existed outside much a small part of the ME.

    History shows that the ancient Egyptian pharoahs are black.

    The Bible tells us Moses was raised in the house of a black man - yet, nobody could tell he came from a different race. Therefore, it stands to reason that Moses was black.

    I think maybe his next thing is going to be that Blacks and Asians are Space Aliens

    The Bible writers were fairly educated men in a time when there was a substantial world trade. They would know of, say, China and Europe, but only as faraway legends. They'd have actual ongoing contact and trade with Egypt and even Ethiopia. They'd have limited trade even with India probably. Sub-Saharan Africa, however, would be cut off nearly entirely by land because of the world's natural barriers to North/South travel. Some blacks would filter through and especially to Egypt, but they would be nearly as exotic as East Asians

    OTOH maybe hk has something here. Stranger things have been proposed and nobody is really sure why races came about, though theories abound

    That isn't true. Unless you think the Ethiopian in Acts, the first gentile baptised was a misplaced viking thown off course by violent winds.

    Moses wife was black.
    The gentleman who carried the Cross for Christ was also black.

    That is just three that come quickly to mind with only a fraction of a second of consideration.

    Y'know come to think, does the Bible mention Jews?

    I knew it, now it can be revealed, the entire thing was written by WASP's. The Apostles were Presbyterians and St Peter was a Freemason.

    I think there were six black Pharaohs from Nubia, but Egyptians weren't black.. They looked just like the Egyptians of today... and there probably never was a Moses or the Exodus.

    Just as Germans insist on calling their country Deutschland rather than Germany, the ancient Egyptians didn’t call their country Egypt; they called it Kmt (pronounced Ke-met), which means “black.” As you’d expect, there’s plenty of debate about the specific meaning of the word kmt. The two main arguments are that the Egyptians used kmt to refer to their country as the “land of black people,” or that they used it to refer to their country as the “black land.”

    Most modern linguists favor the “black land” meaning of the word. They argue that the Nile River’s yearly floods brought rich black soil, which ensured the country’s agricultural prosperity. As a result, the Egyptians called their land Kmt. The black soil provided a sharp visual contrast with the desert sands around the Nile, which ancient Egyptians called dsrt (“the red land”). But only the parts of Egypt closest to the Nile would have flooded with the black soil, and the Egyptians did not have any vocabulary to refer to race, so perhaps neither argument is wholly correct.

    Arabs are the children of Ishmael.

    Europeans are mentioned several times including Romans and Greeks.

    I have yet to see any evidence to confirm the idea that any ancient Egyptian king ever resembled the Hollywood versions in which they are portrayed:

    Not me as shown in my previous links.

    By contrast there are many in our society who think King Tut looked like Victor Buono and that Cleopatra looked like Elizabeth Taylor. All they need do is to look at many photos that are readily available online, none of which show the Pharaohs or whomever as being white.

    Well, the Bible is colorblind when it comes to skin color. A lesson to us all.

    The people of the Levant Syria-Palestine and Mesopotamia aren't black.. Ancient Egyptians probably looked like them.. plus the would have also intermarried with people living around the
    Mediterranean.

    The Romans were Romans.
    God created human beings not just Europeans, Blacks or Asians.
