*DID YOU KNOW*HISTORY*GEOGRAPHY*

The Jiëng people of South Sudan are notable for their exceptional height, with males and females averaging 182 centimetres. Individuals under 1.80 meters are considered short.

It is commonplace to encounter individuals exceeding two meters in height walking through the streets.

Notably, Manute Bol, a renowned NBA player from this region, stood at 2.31 meters.

Beyond their stature, the Dinka are distinguished by their rich cultural heritage and pastoral traditions, where livestock play a vital role.

The True Biblical Identity of Jesus, Pharaoh Taharqa, and the Queen of Sheba: A Historical, Biblical, and Anthropological Analysis

Liesbeth Pick Pick, thank you for this opportunity to educate you. Since you brought up the idea of "high brain," it seems you may have overlooked or missed some crucial historical and biblical facts when forming your argument, which requires "good and high brain" which you might have missed out.

The Black Identity of Biblical Figures: Scriptural and Anthropological Evidence

Historical, biblical, and archaeological records confirm that Jesus (Yeshua), Pharaoh Taharqa, the Queen of Sheba, and other key biblical figures were Black—resembling the people of Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and ancient Kush.

1. Biblical Descriptions of Jesus and the Israelites as Dark-Skinned

Revelation 1:14-15 – "His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." (Brass burned in a furnace turns deep brown or black.)

Daniel 7:9 – "The hair of his head like pure wool." (Thick, curly-textured hair.)

Lamentations 4:8 – "Their visage is blacker than coal." (Describing the Israelites’ dark skin.)

Song of Songs 1:5-6 – "I am black, but comely." (Confirming dark skin as beautiful and common.)

Matthew 2:13 – "Take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt." (Jesus' family fled to Egypt, a Black civilization, because he could blend in among dark-skinned Egyptians.)

2. Pharaoh Taharqa: The Black King Who Protected Israel

Pharaoh Taharqa (690–664 BC) of the 25th Nubian Dynasty (modern Sudan) is directly mentioned in the Bible as a protector of Israel from the Assyrians:

2 Kings 19:9 & Isaiah 37:9 – "And when he (King Hezekiah) heard say of Tirhakah (Taharqa) king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee..."

Taharqa, a Kushite Pharaoh, ruled Egypt and Sudan (Nubia) and came to defend Jerusalem against the Assyrian King Sennacherib.

Statues, carvings, and tomb paintings of Taharqa depict him as a Black African, identical to modern Sudanese people.

The Nubian Pharaohs ruled Egypt for nearly a century, proving that Egypt, in biblical times, was a Black African civilization.

3. The Queen of Sheba: A Nubian (Sudanese/Ethiopian) Ruler

The Queen of Sheba (Makeda), who visited King Solomon, came from the Kingdom of Sheba, which biblical, historical, and archaeological evidence confirms was in Nubia (modern Sudan/Ethiopia), not Yemen:

1 Kings 10:1-13 – "And when the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions."

Ethiopian and Sudanese historical records confirm that Sheba was a Kushite-Nubian civilization.

Archaeological evidence places the Kingdom of Sheba in Meroë (modern Sudan) and Aksum (Ethiopia), not Arabia.

The Queen of Sheba’s descendants ruled Ethiopia, leading to the Ethiopian Solomonic Dynasty, which claims direct lineage from Solomon and Sheba.

4. The Bible Refers to Ethiopia and Egypt as Black Civilizations

Ethiopia (Cush) in the Bible refers to modern Sudan and South Sudan.

Numbers 12:1 – Moses married a Cushite woman (Black Sudanese/Ethiopian).

Jeremiah 13:23 – "Can the Ethiopian change his skin?" (Acknowledging Black skin as a defining trait of Ethiopians/Kushites.)

Zephaniah 3:10 – "From beyond the rivers of Cush." (Referencing Black Africans from Sudan/South Sudan.)

5. Anthropological & Genetic Evidence Supporting Black Biblical Figures

Anthropological studies confirm that ancient Egyptians, Nubians, and Kushites were Black Africans, genetically linked to Sudanese, South Sudanese, and Ethiopians today.

The earliest human remains (Jebel Irhoud, Lucy, Omo fossils) confirm that early humans came from East Africa, not Europe or the Middle East.

The oldest Bible (Garima Gospels) is in Ethiopia, proving that African Christianity predates European Christianity.

6. How the Romans Erased Black Hebrews and Biblical History

In 70 AD, the Romans conquered Israel, enslaving Hebrews and distorting their history.

Roman and Greek artists later repainted Black biblical figures as white Europeans, erasing their true identity.

The Renaissance fabricated a white Jesus, modeled after Cesare Borgia (son of Pope Alexander VI).

Conclusion: The Bible and History Prove That Biblical Figures Were Black

Jesus, Moses, the Israelites, Pharaoh Taharqa, and the Queen of Sheba were Black.

The Bible, archaeology, anthropology, and genetics confirm this truth.

Rome’s invasion and European colonialism whitewashed biblical history.

The evidence is undeniable—the people of the Bible were Black, specifically from todays South Sudan. and their legacy has been deliberately distorted.
