The famous muslim geographer al-Idrisi, born in Ceuta, Spain in the 12th century, wrote extensively about Jewish Negroes in the Western Sudan. Black Jews were fully integrated and achieved pre-eminence in many West African kingdoms. For instance Jews were believed to have settled in great West African empires such as Songhai, Mali, Ghana and Kanem-Bornu empires. According to numerous accounts of contemporary visitors to the region several rulers, and administrators of the Songhai empire were of Jewish origins until Askia Muhammad came to power in 1492 and decreed that all Jews either convert to Islam or leave the region. See Ismael Diadie Haidara, “Les Juifs a` Timbouctou”, Recueil de sources relatives au commerce juif a Timbouctou au XIXe siecle, Editions Donniya, Bamako, 1999.<br /><br />• In a book "Last sigh of Moor" published in 1995, the dark skinned Indoeuropean antireligious writer Salman Rushdie claims that according to Indian history books, first Jewish refugees, which in Antiquity have set their settlements in India, after Nabuchodonozor conquered their land in the 6th century BC, were... dark skinned, probably of NEGROIDAL RACE. (Remember that Moses had wife from the Medianite tribe, from the country of volcanos, which corresponds to Ethiopia of today.)<br /><br />According to Salman Rushdie the second wave of Jewish emigration to India, after the destruction of Israel by Romans in 1-2nd century, consisted of WHITE JEWS. The third wave of Jewish emigration to India, which occured after 1482, when Queen Izabelle have thrown Jews out of Spain, arrived and settled at Cochin peninsula in Southern India, where was the capital of organized by vice-King Vasco da Gama Portuguese colony. According to the late 19 century Larousse Encyclopedia, Jews from the tropical Conchin were the most dark skinned Jews known at that time. Salman Rushdie claims that nearly all Jews from Conchin emigrated to Israel in the second half of 20 century.<br /><br /><br />• The noted Jewish historian, Josephus from his book The Great Roman-Jewish War: 66-70, where he writes about this Jewish dispersion and captivity. "General Vaspasian and his son Caesar Titus fought against the Jews. Millions of Jews fled into Africa, among other places, fleeing from Roman persecution and starvation during the siege."<br />• Historian Wilson Armistead states quite plainly: “The descendants of a colony of Jews, originally from Judea, settled on the coast of Africa, are black.” (A Tribute for the Negro: Being a Vindication of the Moral, Intellectual, and Religious Capabilities of the Colored Portion of Mankind; with Particular Reference to the African Race by Wilson Armistead. Manchester and London: W. Irwin, 1848, pg. 66)<br /><br />• Sir Godfrey Higgins quoted Mr. Maurice: “The Yadavas were the most venerable emigrants from India; they were the blameless and pious Ethiopians, whom Homer mentions, and calls the remotest of mankind. Part of them, say the old Hindu writers, remained in this country; and hence we read of two Ethiopian nations, the Western and the Oriental. Some of them lived far to the East; and they are the Yadavas who stayed in India, while others resided far to the West. The fact of part of the tribe yet remaining in existence is one of the pieces of circumstances of this kind that I ground my system. They surpass all written evidence, for they cannot have been forged. This emigrating tribe of Yadu or Yuda, we shall find of the first importance, for they were no other than the Jews.” (Anacalypsis, Vol. I. by Sir Godfrey Higgins, London:1836, reprinted. Brooklyn:A&B Books Publishers, 1992, pg. 392) So we can clearly see in this passage that Maurice is stating that the Tribe of Yuda (Judah) and the “blameless and pious Ethiopians” were the same.<br /><br />Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351960096953117269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-54170667926432603652016-01-16T08:31:13.287+01:002016-01-16T08:31:13.287+01:00• In a book entitled “A General History of the Se...• In a book entitled “A General History of the Several Nations of the World, From the Flood, to the Present Times”, Thomas Salmon wrote: “(The name Arabia) is derived according to some from Arabus, supposed to be the son of Apollo and Babylonia; others suppose it to be derived from the Hebrew word, Harabi, or Arabi, a thief or robber; and others are of opinion, it takes name from the word Arab, which in the Hebrew signifies Black, this country, being anciently called Ethiopia, as well as Abyssinia, which lies on the opposite shore of the Red Sea in Africa; and it seems probable, that it was originally inhabited by Ethiopians or Blacks, as will appear more evident, on examining its ancient history, either sacred or profane.” (Salmon, Thomas. A History of the Several Nations of the World, from the Flood to the Present Times. London: 1751, pg. 85)"<br />• Our exploration starts with Josephus who following the Hebrew writings tells us that in his time the descendants of Keturah or Qeturah coming from southern Arabia had settled the area of the “troglodytes” in the Horn of Africa, which in Josephus' era was also considered part of "Arabia".<br />John Murray states the following.<br /> “Josephus ('A.J.' i. 15) tells us that the descendants of Keturah occupied the Troglodyte country and Arabia Felix, which statement is repeated by Jerome ('Qu. Heb. in Gen.').” The Holy Bible according to the authorized version (A.D.1611) published 1872.<br /> What Josephus, Jerome and others documented were numerous “Hebrew” clans in sub-Saharan Africa found under the eponyms reminiscent of both children of Hagar and Keturah of the Hebrew Bible. <br />• Josephus in his commentary on the people wrote that Ashurim or Assurim was the child of “Yudadas” a people whom, according to him, were dwelling in ‘western Ethiopia’. Judadas, settled the Judadeans, a nation of the western Ethiopians, and left them his name; as did Sabas [Saba] to the Sabeans…” (See The New Complete Works of Josephus 1999, p.58, Book 1, Chapter 6). Arabia was considered Ethiopia by the Greeks. Within the last 500 years Arabized people largely of Syrian, Turkish and other foreign biological origin have intermixed with the original Arabs both within the peninsula and elsewhere and these mixed descendants now occupy a large swathe of the Arabian peninsula from north to south.<br /><br /><br /><br />• Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees (Gen. 11, 31) Godfrey Higgins, a careful and reliable English antiquary says, “The Chaldees were originally Negroes.” (Anacalypsis, Vol. II, p. 364. New York, 1927) <br /><br /><br /><br />• Higgins said that he acknowledged with "great difficulty" than Chaldeans were blacks too. But Let's quote him: <br /><br />"...In consequence of the prejudice (for it is already prejudice)against the negro, or I ought to say, against the possibility of a negro, being learned and scientific, arising from an acquaintance with the present with the present Negro Character, I admit with great difficulty the theory of all the early astronomical knowledge of the chaldean having been acquired or invented by his race, and the Chaldees were originally Negroes..."<br />Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351960096953117269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-67873580684310622392016-01-16T08:29:03.535+01:002016-01-16T08:29:03.535+01:00• Francois Lenormant, a French archaeologist wrote...• Francois Lenormant, a French archaeologist wrote in Ancient History of the East, "The Canaanites at first lived near the Cushites, their brethren in race, on the banks of the Erythraean Sea, or Persian Gulf." (Lenormant, Francois. Ancient History of the East, Vol.II. London: Asher & Co., 1869, pg.144) <br />• From the earliest recorded times, the land of Canaan was inhabited by black people. The original inhabitants of Palestine, the Natufians, were black. Rev. Means quotes Josephus regarding the Canaanites: "That Canaan the fourth son of Ham inhabited the country now called Judea and called it from his Canaan and that Ragmus the Son of Canaan had two sons, one of which was Judadas and his descendants were called Judadean a nation of Western Ethiopians. The name, Judadean in short the term, is Judeans or Jews. The Hamite and Semites were one and the same people the Jews were a direct branch of the Ethiopian Race." (ibid, pg.34)<br />• "The earliest inhabitants of Assyria were unquestionably Black: “There were Cushite settlements all along the Southern shore of Arabia, and up the Persian Gulf, and in Babylonia and Assyria, and from there onward north and east to the banks of the Indus. They did not retain these possessions, but for a time there they were; and they have left signs of their presence in magnificent architectural remains, the ruins of which can be traced to this day.” (ibid, pg. 125)"<br />• Ethiopian colonists founded the Assyrian empires of Babylon and Nineveh. Sir Harry Johnston wrote: “In early Assyria, we come across images of a people with curliness of hair, together with a Negro eye and full lips.” (Johnston, Sir Harry. The Negro in the New World. London: Methuen & Co., 1910, pg. 27) <br />• Blacks held a high level of culture and civilization in the early annals of Assyrian history: “…there is no doubt but that on the banks of the Tigris dwelt a race known as the Cushite; and he adds, that it is necessary to admit into the history of the ancient world a third element, which is neither Semite nor Aryan, but which may be called Ethiopic or Cushite. The exhumed monuments of Babylon and Nineveh make it apparent that the Assyrian civilization had as little resemblance to Semitic as it had to Aryan civilization, and was of an earlier date than either. It was of the same lineage as that of Egypt, which partook largely of the Cushite element.” (M’Causeland, Dominick. The Builders of Babel. London: Richard Bentley & Son, 1871, pg. 41) <br />• In her book, Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire, Drusilla Dunjee Houston noted that classical traditions connected the primitive inhabitants of Assyria, Chaldea and Susiana with Ethiopia. (Houston Druscilla Dunjee. Wonderful Ethiopians if the Ancient Cushite Empire. Oklahoma City: The Universal Publishing Company, 1926, pg. 171) Houston also wrote that Assyria’s leaders and teachers were the Cushite Arabians of the Hamitic race. (ibid, pg. 180) The Assyrians showed a distinct “Negroid” strain. (DuBois, W.E.B. The Negro. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1915, pg. 62) It was the early inhabitants of Mesopotamia that gave “curly hair and a Negroid type to Jew, Syrian, and Assyrian.” (ibid, pg. 12)<br />• Arabia was one of the earliest colonies of the ancient Cushite Empire of Ethiopians.

(Rawlinson, George. The Five Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World- Vol. II. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1870, pg. 500) Professor Charles Seignobos of the University of Paris in his book History of Civilization sheds more light on the color of the Chaldeans: “It is within the limits of Asia and Africa that the first civilized people had their development-theEgyptians in the Nile Valley, the Chaldeans in the plains of the Euphrates. They were people of sedentary and peaceful pursuits. Their skin was dark, the hair short and thick, the lips strong. Nobody knows their origin with exactness, and scholars are not agreed on the name to give them (some term them Kushite, others Hamites).” (Seignobos, Charles. History of Ancient Civilization. London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1907, pg. 17)<br />• Drusilla Dunjee Houston notes that the art, science and culture of the earlier unmixed Chaldeans was Cushite. (Houston, Drusilla Dunjee. Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire. Oklahoma City: The Universal Publishing Company, 1926, pg. 163) She also writes that the records of the Hebrews connected the Chaldeans, Ethiopians, and Egyptians in ties of kinship. (ibid, pg. 162)<br />• The British Egyptologst, Gerald Massey, has this to say about the Chaldeans: The primitive Chaldeans and Babylonians were known to the Greeks by the names of Chaldeans and Kephenes. The Kephenes were synonymous with Ethiopians. They were descended from king Kepheus (A Book of the Beginnings, Vol, 2, p, 503).<br />• Tacitus, the first century Roman historian, insisted that Abraham was an Ethiopian. Tacitus wrote that it was common knowledge that the Hebrews originated in Ethiopia then left because of persecution by the Ethiopian King Cephus because of their belief in one God. (Al Mansour, Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tarq. Seven African Arabian Wonders of the World. San Francisco: The First African Arabian Press, 1991, pg. 119) Josephus, the famous Jewish historian, supports this claim. In his book Ethiopia and the Missing Link in African History Reverend Sterling Means cites Marcus Dourd: “This people (Jews) say their old writings are descended from the Chaldeans; they sojourned heretofore in Mesopotamia because they will not follow the gods of their fathers.” (Means, Rev. Sterling M. Ethiopia & The Missing Link in African History. Philadelphia: Hakim’s Publications, 1980, pg. 69)<br /><br /><br />• H. P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) was a author and co-founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875. She was a woman that traveled the earth to learn secrets of the world. She also was a racist woman, but she admits something very interesting about the ancient Chaldeans in her writings. She uses the term ASIATIC ETHIOPIANS. Check it out on pgs 330-332. Remember too that Abraham was from Ur of the Chaldees.<br />http://www.katinkahesselink.net/blavatsky/articles/v13/ph_025.htm<br />Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351960096953117269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-51443651487813089722016-01-16T08:25:56.252+01:002016-01-16T08:25:56.252+01:00Count Volney, a French intellectual, stated that w...Count Volney, a French intellectual, stated that when using the term Ethiopians, they were using it to represent people of black complexion, thick lips and wooly hair. (Volney, Count C.F. The Ruins of Empire. Maryland: Black Classic Press, 1991, pg. 17)<br />• The Cushites are very important to our study of Abraham and the Hebrews because we will notice that everywhere that the Hebrew settles, there is always a very large Cushite presence around them. The Cushitic influence of their cultural development cannot be overstated. The Bible notes heavy crossbreeding and intermixture between the Cushites and the Semites. The descendants of Shem were blacks with long straight hair. (Lewis, Robert B. Light and Truth: Containing the Universal History of the Colored and Indian Race, from the Creation of the World to the Present Time. Boston: Published by a Committee of Colored Gentlemen, Benjamin F. Roberts, Printer, 1844, pg. 309) <br />• Sir E.A. Wallis Budge noted that, “Homer and Herodotus call all the peoples of the Sudan, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine and Western Asia and India Ethiopians.” (Budge, Sir Wallis E.A.History of Ethiopia, Vol. I. London: 1928, Preface) That the Ethiopians and the Egyptians were of the same racial stock is unquestionable. Traditionally, Ethiopia is seen as the mother of nations, who lent its culture to Egypt and many of the nations of Asia. (Parker, George Wells. The Children of the Sun. First Published 1918 by the Hamitic League of the World, republished 198, 1981 Chicago: Black Classic Press, pg. 4) George Rawlinson described the African Ethiopians as having “swart complexions, and their crisp or frizzled hair.” Whereas he quotes Herodotus who describes the Asiatic Ethiopians as “equally dark, but their hair was straight and not frizzle.” (Rawlinson, George. The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World, Vol. I. Piscataway: Gorgias Press, 2002, pg. 35)<br />• Ethiopia and Egypt were linked culturally from the most ancient of times. The two countries were “originally peopled, contemporaneously, by the brothers, Misraim and Cush, and were long confederated under one government being similar people in politics and literature, etc.” (Armistead, Wilson. A Tribute for the Negro: Being a Vindication of the Moral, Intellectual, and Religious Capabilities of Coloured Portion of Mankind; with Particular Reference to the African Race. Manchester: William Irwin, 1848, pg. 122) The customs and opinions of the Ethiopians were the same as those of the Egyptians. (Kennedy, John. The Natural History of Man; or Popular Chapters on Ethnography, Vol. I. London: John Cassell, 1851, pg. 127)<br />• The Chaldeans were descendants of the Sumerians. The Egyptians considered the Chaldeans as a migrant colony of Egyptian astromer-priests. In biblical genealogies, Cush (Ethiopia) and Mizraim (Egypt) are brothers, and Cush begat Nimrod (Babylonia, i.e. Sumer). (Jackson, John G. Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization. Maryland: Black Classic Press, 1985, pg. 11)<br />• Sir Godfrey Higgins believed that the Chaldeans and the Colchians were the same people. Meanwhile Herodotus said, “The Egyptians said that they believed the Colchians to be descended from the army Sesostris. My own conjectures were founded, first, on the fact that they are blackskinned and have wooly hair.” (Herodotus. The History of Herodotus, Vol II. New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1889, pg. 146) If Herodotus described the Colchians as “blackskinned” with “wooly hair” and Higgins believed that the Chaldeans and the Colchians were the same, then they must have had the same physical characteristics i.e. the Chaldeans were Black.<br />Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351960096953117269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-1881645852877879642016-01-16T08:24:26.099+01:002016-01-16T08:24:26.099+01:00• “The wide meaning thus given to the term Semitic...• “The wide meaning thus given to the term Semitic has been found necessary on account of the almost inextricable interrelationship between the Hamites and the Semites proper. Whether in Mesopotamia, in Palestine, in North Africa, or even in Arabia, the Hamites not only appear as the neighbors of the Semites, but as having generally been ethnologically absorbed by them. The bible indicates the close relationship existing between Hamites and Semites by representing the Cushites as children of Ham, and repeatedly applying the name Cush to peoples closely connected with Semites proper.” (Ripley, George and Dana, Charles A. The American Cyclopaedia, Vol. XIV. New York: D. Appleton and Company: 1875, pg. 760) Ripley and Dana inaccurately state that the Semites absorbed the Hamites. In reality, the opposite was true. In almost all cases, the Semites, when in close contact with the Hamites, became absorbed into the Hamitic group. <br />• Found in Rabbinic Hebrew tradition... the 8th century Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer (Chapter 23):<br />Noah brought his sons and his grandsons, and he blessed them with their (several) settlements, and he gave them as an inheritance all the earth. He especially blessed Shem and his sons, black but comely, and he gave them the inhabitable earth. He blessed Ham and his sons, black like a raven, and he gave them as an inheritance the coast of the sea. He blessed Japheth and his sons, they entirely white, and he gave them for an inheritance the desert and its fields; these (are the inheritances with) which he endowed them.[1]<br /><br /><br /><br />• In the ancient world, Ethiopia was a vast expanse of land that was developed and controlled by members of the black race. The ancients knew the country by the name Cush (Kush). The word Cush means blackness. The name Ethiopia was applied later by the Greeks as a word used to describe the racial characteristics of the inhabitants of the lands that lay south of Egypt. (Dunston, Jr. Bishop Alfred G. The Black Man in the Old Testament. New Jersey: African World Press, 1992, pg. 14)<br />• The term Ethiopian was applied broadly to all Black people who inhabited Africa and Asia.[11] The Ancient Cushites ushered the dawn of civilization in by developing a high cultural society, which stretched from the Sudan to Eastern India. This is supported by the words of historian Sir E.A. Wallis Budge: “It seems certain that classical historians and geographers called the whole region from India to Egypt, both countries inclusive, by the name of Ethiopia, and in consequence they regarded all the dark skinned and black peoples who inhabited it as Ethiopians.” (Budge, Sir E.A. A History of Ethiopia, Vol. I. London: 1928, pgs, 1-2) <br />Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351960096953117269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-63443749061762995982015-10-26T11:17:45.854+01:002015-10-26T11:17:45.854+01:00Die Söhne des Gök Tengri - Y-DNA DE (YAP): http://...Die Söhne des Gök Tengri - Y-DNA DE (YAP): http://youtu.be/DErSgkjOsEEAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355464062602601361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563811638411839784.post-3293453429402795792015-10-22T02:19:45.562+02:002015-10-22T02:19:45.562+02:00Thanks for the info Maju.

It's clear to me that my maternal family, although living way up in the Hills of Puerto Rico for centuries, very much had their roots in the Canaries and Iberia. :-) Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656563742645201926noreply@blogger.com
