Literature is a delicate art where the author cosmeticizes his or her portrait with words. Their audience may become absorbed with lust or disdain depending on their description. That can be not only for the subject but for the writer. In my case, I’ve said on a repeated basis that I am not a journalist. At least, not just yet. When I researched ancient Egyptians, I thought they were black people. My blog is an intellectual playground where I spar with various ideas. I hope to bring specific discussions to light.
Further deduction followed that we speak of an ancient polytheistic civilization in Africa. That made it plausible to me that those inhabitants were black people. You will discover much about the Jewish people when you read books like the Torah, Koran, and the Bible (among other historical texts). They suffered for four hundred years at the cruel treatment of ancient Egyptians. Those Egyptians appear to be wealthy and influential Africans. They enslaved the Jews after they sought refuge in Egypt.

Before the Israelites escaped the famine that swept through the Middle East, as the narrative goes, Israel began as a small patriarchal family. Jacob, one of their founding patriarchs, was a polygamist with twelve sons by four wives. Due to infighting among the siblings, older brothers Ruben, Dan, Judah, and Simeon conspired to have their youngest brother, Joseph, killed. He was their father’s favorite son from his most beloved wife – Rachael. However, Judah convinced his brothers to spare his life at the last moment in the plot to kill Joseph. Instead, they sold him into slavery. Joseph was Jewish. His brothers sold him to some Arab merchants.
Those Arab traders, in turn, traded in Egypt, where there was a wealthy and powerful civilization of black people. They sold Joseph as an enslaved person to a rich black man. Fatefully for Joseph, he was a seer. He was a very accurate fortune teller. His gift turned out to be very valuable to him. In Egypt, the people were highly superstitious and practiced witchcraft. In this culture, he rose from enslaved person to royalty. He foretold one fortune after another until the ruling pharaoh appointed him to the second-highest position in the land. Joseph naturalized as an Egyptian and married the pharaoh’s daughter, a black woman. They had two children, Ephraim and Manasseh.

Joseph foretold the coming of a famine that allowed the Egyptians to stock up. Having stored a massive amount of food, Egypt became the place to go to buy. They welcomed an influx of people seeking to purchase their goods. These included Joseph’s brothers, who sold him over forty years before that time. The famine caused Joseph to reunite with his family. He was assumed to be dead. Now he had become the second-highest ruler of Egypt. His father accepted his black wife and mixed children. The entire Jacob family moved to Egypt. Joseph gave them land and money to start a new life. Jacob’s twelve sons went on to become patriarchs of their own families. Each family became a tribe of its own.
These are the thirteen tribes of Israel. People often referred to them as the twelve tribes of Israel. The reason is that Jacob divided the tribe of Joseph into two. Together the tribe of Ephraim and the tribe of Manessah are the tribes of Joseph. However, if you count them numerically, you will find thirteen tribes. Anywho, a few generations later, the Jewish people doubled in numbers. They practiced polygamy. The Egyptians were black people, and the Jews were not. Fears became real that one day the Jews who were now citizens in Egypt would outnumber the Egyptians. They could overthrow the pharaoh dynasty. So the Egyptians decided to strip them of their citizenship.
They killed some of them and then enslaved the rest. The historical accounts go that for the next four hundred years, the Jews suffered in Egypt. It was not until Moses came that he defeated the pharaoh using superior witchcraft and set his people free. To this day, the Jews have never forgotten what they suffered to them in Egypt. Every year they celebrate Passover. During that period, they ate the same food their ancestors ate as enslaved people in Egypt. This wound bleeds very deeply for the Jewish people. Various civilizations, like the Romans and the Babylonians, also persecuted the Jews. Mainly it was because of their monotheistic belief. But none has been as bad as what they endured in Egypt.
It is so bad that little of ancient Egypt was not wiped out of history. Today, the tables are turned. It is blacks or Africans who suffer from racism and discrimination. Many depictions of ancient Egyptians have now been replaced with a Caucasian image as Africans go on to be ruled for about the same time as the Jews in Egypt… or maybe even longer.*
