ISREALITES

OF
AFRICAN
Let’s talk about the Israelite presence in East Africa. Many people are becoming
more aware of the presence of Israelites in West African regions and their
connection to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (Deuteronomy 28:15-68), but what
about East Africa? We will find that the history of Israelites in East Africa is just
as rich as that of their West African relatives. As we review the history of the
presence of Israelites in East Africa, we will discover that many Israelites entered
into East African regions long before the Roman Conquest of Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Multiple waves of Israelite migrations into foreign lands and their vast
populations have caused many to misidentify these Israelites as Hamitic. In this
particular article we will attempt to provide some history on a few different
Israelite migrations into East Africa as well as some information on both how and
when they arrived. We will also brief cover some of the more distant countries
that the Israelites travelled to after reaching East Africa. All of this information
will be provided in attempt to demonstrate the historical validity of the Biblical
fact that the Israelite bloodline has been scattered into EVERY kingdom on Earth.

“And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of
Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.” –
Jeremiah 15:4
How and when could the Israelites have arrived in East Africa? The answer to
these questions is, various ways and at various different times. However,
generally speaking, the Israelites entered into East Africa, mostly, by way of
Egypt, following the Nile River south as it parallels the Rift Valley. Following this
route down the eastern coasts of Africa has left various branches Israelite
communities scattered throughout the region. These various Israelite
communities (some remaining separate while others intermarried with local
peoples) that settled in East Africa subsequently travelled to the Far East.

A few examples of how the Israelites entered into East Africa can be found in the
Bible. The history of the Hebrew Israelites’ records various accounts of Israelite
journeys between Egypt and the land of Canaan.
There are many Biblical examples of Israelites migrating into Africa by way of
Egypt. Abraham travelled to Egypt long before the Israelites entered into that
country. Joseph, one of the 12 sons of Jacob, was sold into slavery and eventually
arrived in Egypt from Canaan. Many years, later, Christ also travelled to Egypt
where he hid for a time until returning to the land of the Israelites. These and
many other examples of Israelite migrations into Africa can be found in the Bible.

After entering Africa by way of Egypt, many of the East African branch of
Israelites followed the Nile River and Rift Valley southward. It is interesting to
note that the biblically recorded migrations of the Hebrew Israelites closely
resembles what historians have labeled as the ‘Bantu Expansion.’
Following the Nile River and Great Rift Valley southward, the Israelites passed
through and settled in many areas in the land of Kush.
The Israelites also settled the areas beyond the land of Kush, which we will
discuss shortly. Let’s first discuss an early Israelite presence in Ethiopia.

The modern country of Ethiopia and peoples of Ethiopia are often identified with
the biblical land of Kush. The ancient kingdom of Kush encompassed areas of
modern southeast Sudan and northwest Ethiopia. A few years prior to the
Assyrian captivity of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, some of the Israelites
foresaw the coming desolation and decided to leave Israel before being taken
captive. Eldad Ha Dani (the Danite) appeared in a thriving Egyptian Jewish
community during the 9th century AD and told a history of when and how a group
of Israelites arrived in the land of Kush.
“According to the story related by Eldad the Danite, who had it told to him by his
ancestors, who in turn were told about it by their ancestors from generation to
generation, back to those fateful days, the Ten Tribes were not lost at all. Eldad the
Danite related that his own tribe, the Danites, did not wait to be exiled. When the
Assyrian empire grew strong and mighty, they saw that there was no hope for them to
remain free. Moreover, the Kingdom of the Ten Tribes was at war with the Kingdom of
Judah, and the Danites did not want to fight against their own brethren. So they decided
to leave the Land of Israel and find a safe place for themselves. It was in the eighth year
of the reign of Ahaz of Judah, that is, in the year 3191 (fourteen years before the fall of
Samaria) that the Danites took their wives and children, their sheep and cattle, and left
the Land of Israel.

They went by way of Egypt further down the upper Nile River and settled in Ethiopia, in
the land of the negroes of East Africa. The Danites were great warriors, and after
fighting many battles against native black tribes, they established themselves securely,
with a kingdom of their own.” – Nissan Mindel, Chabad.org
ISAIAH WAS A PROPHET DURING THE TIME OF KING AHAZ OF JUDAH WHEN,
ACCORDING TO ELDAD THE DANITE, A PORTION OF THE TRIBE OF DAN LEFT
ISRAEL TO RESETTLE IN EGYPT AND FURTHER SOUTH IN THE LAND OF CUSH.
“Eldad was a Jewish man of dark skin who suddenly turned up in Egypt and created a
great stir in the Egyptian Jewish community (and elsewhere in the Mediterranean
Jewish communities he travelled to) with claims that he had come from a Jewish
kingdom of pastoralists far to the south. The only language he spoke was a hitherto
unknown dialect of Hebrew… He said that the Jews of his own kingdom derived from
the tribe of Dan (which included the Biblical war-hero Samson) which had fled the civil
war in the Kingdom of Israel between Solomon’s son Rehoboam and Jeroboam the son
of Nebat, by resettling in Egypt. From there they moved southwards up the Nile into
Ethiopia, and the Beta Israel say this confirms that they are descended from these
Danites. Some Beta Israel, however, assert even nowadays that their Danite origins go
back to the time of Moses himself, when some Danites parted from other Jews right
after the Exodus and moved south to Ethiopia. Eldad the Danite does indeed speak of at
least three waves of Jewish immigration into his region, creating other Jewish tribes
and kingdoms, including the earliest wave that settled in a remote kingdom of the “tribe
of Moses”: this was the strongest and most secure Jewish kingdom of all, with farming
villages, cities and great wealth. The Mosaic claims of the Beta Israel, in any case, like
those of the Zagwe dynasty itself, are clearly very ancient.” – Beta Israel, Wikipedia

It is very interesting to note that according to Eldad the Danite and the Beta
Israel themselves (the Ethiopian “Jews”), Israelite tribes (primarily from the tribe
of Dan) had arrived in East African territories even during the Exodus. This is
interesting because Greek history states that the Danites (and other Israelite
tribes) had also arrived and settled in Greece and other Mediterranean countries,
both prior too and during the Exodus. Obviously, at the same time Mediterranean
colonization were occuring, there were Israelites migrating south of Egypt.
Clearly, Israelites had migrated to many lands outside of Canaan even prior to
the Exodus under Moses. However, let us focus on Eldad’s story of the Israelite
presence in East Africa during the beginnings of the Kingdom of Kush.
Incidentally, the Kingdom of Kush was founded around the same time that the
Assyrians were conquering the Northern Kingdom of Israel (c. 720 BC). Shortly
before the conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the tribe of Dan and some
branches of other Israelite tribes decided to leave their homeland to avoid
trouble. According to Eldad the Danite, they eventually settled in Egypt later
moved further south into parts of modern Sudan and Ethiopia—the land of Kush.
Some Israelite tribes, according to Eldad, left the land of Assyria, even after their
captivity, and they also settled in Ethiopia.

JEWISH TRAVELLERS, EDITED BY ELKAN NATHAN ADLER, PG 10-11

The presence of Israelite tribes arriving in Hamitic lands after the Assyrian
captivity can be attested to by other histories outside of Eldad’s. The kingdom of
Kush ruled from the 8th century BC until they were conquered by the Assyrians.
According to Yoruba tradition, there was a great migration of Assyrian refugees
(Israelites) that arrived in Kush around the same time as the Assyrians were
conquered by the Medes/Persians. The previous conquest of the Kingdom of
Kush certainly made the Israelites during the Assyrian captivity aware of the
existence of Israelite communities in the land of Kush, which is where they fled to
during the collapse of the Assyrian empire before establishing themselves in
West African by way of the Sahel.

COMMUNITY EXISTED THERE.
“A popular misconception among scholars today is that a Jewish migration from the
Mediterranean through Northern Sudan would have been “nebulous” (Quirin, 2010, p.
10). Thus, a majority of scholars suggest South Arabia as the likeliest source of Aksum’s
Jewish influence. Yet, the wide range of historical, archeological, and linguistic
evidence—including the institutionalization of Greek during the fourth century CE—
signify that contacts between Aksum and the Mediterranean were strong and direct. In
fact, Aksum’s economic prosperity is inseparable from its reputation as a “master of the
Indian Ocean-Mediterranean trade routes” (Adler & Pouwels, 2014, p. 229)
Thus, in context of the historical, archeological, and geographical indications, it is
reasonable to suggest that the first Jewish elements within Aksum trace to Kush. A
number of accounts, including those provided in Beta Israel traditions suggest that the
ancestors of the group arrived through the Nile Valley (Quirin, 2010, p. 23). As
mentioned, Biblical passages, in addition to a number of extra-Biblical
traditions, suggest an Israelite presence in Kush, particularly in Zephaniah 3:10… In
addition to Eldad Ha-Dani, Obadiah of Bertinoro during the fifteenth century suggests
that the spices sold by the Kushites “come from” (Abrahams & Montefiore, 1889) the
Beta Israel, and Chief Rabbi David ibn Zimra of Egypt in the sixteenth century identifies
the Beta Israel as the Jews from “the Land of Cush” (as cited in Bleich, 1977, p. 302).” –
Early Jews of Aksum, by Ibrahim Omer, Genetic Literacy Project
Further support for the fact that the Yoruba of Nigeria and other Israelites had
arrived in African territories by way of Syria or Yemen can be found in the
etymology of the name Abyssinia (another name for Ethiopia). Many branches of
different Israelite tribes that migrated into Yemen and Ethiopia named the towns
that they lived in ‘Gaza,’ which meant ‘emigrants’. The Israelite ‘emigrants’ or
Gaza used this term to refer to themselves as well as the lands that that
emigrated to and inhabited in Kushite territory.
ASIATIC JOURNAL, VOLUME 28, PG 695-696
The historical records of the Greeks have also made us aware of the fact that a
wave Israelites from Syria also immigrated to the land of Abyssinia during the
time of Alexander “the Great”. The many waves of Israelites arriving in Africa
from Syria, and the historical documentation of such events by people other than
the Yoruba themselves, provides further credence that the Yoruba and other
Israelites did indeed come from the Syria/Palestine area before settling in
African lands.
SELECTIONS FROM THE ASIATIC JOURNAL AND MONTHLY REGISTER FOR
BRITISH INDIA AND ITS DEPENDENCIES, VOLUME 2, PG 1007
These different waves of Israelite migrations into East African lands, that can be
dated back to times even before the Israelite Exodus from Egypt, provide us with
the historical background to associate many different East African peoples with
the descendants of the ‘Lost Tribes’ of Israel. One such group of Israelites (also
known as Syro-Jews) in East Africa, in the land of Abyssinia/Ethiopia, are also
known as Falasha. The term Falasha (a derogatory term meaning
foreigners/exhiles/refugees) is a term that refers to Beta Israel—The Israelites
of Ethiopia.

“Beta Israel traditions claim that the Ethiopian Jews are descended from the lineage of
Moses himself, some of whose children and relatives are said to have separated from
the other Children of Israel after the Exodus and gone southwards, or, alternatively or
together with this, that they are descended from the tribe of Dan, which fled
southwards down the Arabian coastal lands from Judaea at the time of the breakup of
the Kingdom of Israel into two kingdoms in the 10th century BCE. (precipitated by the
oppressive demands of Rehoboam, King Solomon’s heir), or at the time of the
destruction of the northern kingdom of Israel in the 8th century BCE. Certainly there
was trade as early as the time of King Solomon down along the Red Sea to the Yemen
and even as far as India, according to the Bible, and there would therefore have been
Jewish settlements at various points along the trade routes. There is definite
archaeological evidence of Jewish settlements and of their cultural influence on both
sides of the Red Sea well at least 2,500 years ago, both along the Arabian coast and in
the Yemen, on the eastern side, and along the southern Egyptian and Sudanese coastal
regions.” – Habesha people, Wikipedia

THE SAHEL REGION: A BELT UP TO 1,000 KM (620 MILES) WIDE THAT SPANS
THE 5,400 KM IN AFRICA FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO THE RED SEA
Different branches of the Israelites entered into Africa by trade routes through
Egypt, Arabia and Yemen. Some established themselves in the West African
Negro-land, such as the Yoruba people of Nigeria, by way of the Sahel, while
others continued traveling southward down the Nile and Great Rift Valley to
establish themselves in the East African Negroland that we will discuss later.
Returning to the history of Eldad the Danite, we understand that’s branches of
several of the tribes of Israel migrated from Northern Israel, through Egypt and
into the land of Kush. According to Eldad, the time of this migration occurred
during the 8th year of the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. Some scholars date the
reign of Ahaz from 732 BC to 716 BC, while others believe it to be from 744-728
BC. With these time frames we can derive an estimate that the migration of
Israelites from Israel to Kush, according to the history of Eldad, began sometime
between 736 and 724 BC but definitely before the Assyrian Captivity of the
Northern Kingdom of Israel, c 721 BC. At the time of the Israelite arrival, the
Kingdom of Kush was ruling of the land of Kush as well as the land of Mitzraim
(Egypt).
 THE STORY OF NUBIA

The capital of the Kingdom of Kush at the time of the Israelites arrival, both
before and after the Assyrian captivity of Israel, was Meroe. Meroe was a very
important city-state of the Kingdom of Kush that was strongly influenced by the
Egyptians. Over 200 pyramids can be found in Meroe, which is evidence of the
Egyptian influence on the Kingdom of Kush. This same Egyptian culture that
strongly influenced the Kingdom of Kush was later found across the Indian
Ocean.
“In addition to Eldad Ha-Dani, Obadiah of Bertinoro during the fifteenth century
suggests that the spices sold by the Kushites “come from” (Abrahams & Montefiore,
1889) the Beta Israel, and Chief Rabbi David ibn Zimra of Egypt in the sixteenth
century identifies the Beta Israel as the Jews from “the Land of Cush” (as cited in Bleich,
1977, p. 302). After tedious research, Kessler (2012, p. 60) analyzes: Scholars agree that
the Jewish religion had a considerable following in the Axumite state before the time of
King Ezana and as it is probable that there was a Jewish presence in the neighboring
kingdom of Meroë with which Axum was in communication Jewish influences could have
followed the well-worn routes across the border by way of the Blue Nile and Atbara rivers,
while similar, though somewhat different, influences could also have penetrated from
south Arabia and subsequently disappeared.” – Early Jews of Aksum, by Ibrahim Omer,
Genetic Literacy Project
It is very interesting to note that the presence of Israelites in land of Kush as well
as in India is documented in the Holy Bible. During the time of Mordecai and the
Persian Empire (stretching from the land of Kush on the West unto India on the
East) a letter was written that addressed, among many peoples, all the Jews of
the 127 Persian provinces. These provinces included Kush and India, which
provides Biblical support for the fact that Israelites lived in the lands of Kush and
also in India, at least as far back as 5th century BC. We also know that some of
these Israelites were the products of the 7th century BC Assyrian captivity that
placed some Israelites in the cities of the Persians and Medes. This gives us an
estimate of, at least, three centuries of Israelite presence in Assyrian and Persian
territories, which included both Kush and India.
“Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month
Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that
Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and
rulers of the provinces which are from India H1912 unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty
and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto
every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and
according to their language.” – Esther 8:9
A fact of further interest comes to light when we examine the Hebrew word
translated as India in the King James Version biblical text. The word of for India,
in regards to one of the 127 Persian provinces, is:

Strong’s H1912 – ‫ הֹ דּו‬Hôdûw, ho’-doo; of foreign origin; Hodu (i.e. Hindustan):—

India.
  India = “flee away” or ” give ye thanks”
 the country surrounding the Indus, mentioned as the eastern border of the
empire of Ahasuerus
This same region of India, known to the ancient Hebrew Israelites as Hodu, is
identified with Hindostan. Hindostan is a word of Persian origin and it’s meaning
provides more support for the fact that Israelites lived in India/Hindostan.

THE ILLUSTRATED UNIVERSAL GAZETTEER, EDITED BY WILLIAM

AINSWORTH, PG 667
A SYSTEM OF GEOGRAPHY, POPULAR AND SCIENTIFIC, VOLUME 4, BY JAMES
BELL, PG 412
The Persian meaning of the name Hindostan can be translated as ‘Black land’ or
‘Black country’. This was in reference to the people of the land who were
classified as ‘Blacks’. This is very significant, as we have already briefly noted the
influence of Egypt and Nubia Kush that arrived in India by way of the India Ocean
trade routes. History also bares witness to the presence of Israelite-Phoenician
ships, during the time of King Solomon that also arrived in India, establishing
trade colonies. Among these Black people that arrived in India from various
lands ruled by blacks, were heavy populations of Israelites who are also
classified as Blacks/Negroes. In fact, the West African land of the blacks, known
as Negroland, supplied the Negro populations that later spread down the
western coasts of Africa and across the Atlantic Ocean, the same process of the
dispersion of Negro Israelites occurred down the East African coast and across
the India Ocean. The East African Negroland was established on the eastern coast
of Africa, south of the territories of Kush and the Horn of Africa. Continually
following the Nile River and Great Rift Valley southward would lead the
migrating Israelites into the East African Negroland.
The East African Negroland is known by many names but we will focus on the
name Zanj. Zanj comes from the Persian word for ‘negro’ and was borrowed by
the Arabs to refer to Bilad al-Zanj or ‘The land of the Blacks”. Bilad al-Zanj was a
territory in reference to he Bantu Africans of East Africa. The Bantu peoples on
the eastern coasts are related to the Bantus in the Western African territories,
Bilad al-Sudan, which also means ‘land of the Blacks’ in Arabic.

“The words Azania and Zingis are probably connected with the Arabic name for the

Zanjibar…” – The Directory of East African, Uganda & Zanzibar, By Standard Printing &
Pub. Works, 1909, PG 17
The eastern Negroland, Bilad al-Zanj, Bahr al-Zanj or Azania (as known to the
Greco-Romans), is also synonymous with the region of east Africa known as the
Swahili Coast.
“The meaning of the name Zanzibar is also known. The Swahili coast — that area of
land from southern Somalia to northern Mozambique, was known as Zingion from
about the six century AD. It came to be known by the same name by Arab travellers
from the 9th to the 15th centuries.” – Zanzibar and the Swahili coast from c. 30,000 years
ago, By Felix Chami, PG 16
The Swahili Coast or the Land of Zanj was well known for its trade across the
Indian Ocean and it is by way of this trade that many Israelites arrived in the Far
East. Despite the fact that many Israelites (Bantu Africans) were taking into
eastern countries by Arabs as slaves, many more Israelites actually travelled into
eastern lands, both prior to the Arab slave trade and afterwards, as sailors,
merchants, mercenaries, musicians, etc. It was not uncommon for these Zanji to
be promoted to high-ranking position or to even gain rulership.
Not only were the Zanji East Africans great warriors and rulers but they were
also exceptional seafarers. In fact, as mariners, the East African Negro Zanji were
some of the very best sailors as well was ferocious warriors. So valiant were the
Zanj Negroes, who were called Sheedi in India/Balouchistan region, that it was
said that only one Sheedi man was needed on board a ship to deter pirates at sea.
“The Siddis were a tightly knit group, highly aggressive, and even ferocious in battle.
They were employed largely as security forces for Muslim fleets in the Indian Ocean, a
position they maintained for centuries. The Siddi commanders were titled Admirals of
the Mughal Empire, and received an annual salary of 300,000 rupees. According to Ibn
Battuta (1304-1377), the noted Muslim writer who journeyed through both Africa and
Asia, the Siddis “are the guarantors of safety on the Indian Ocean; let there be but one of
them on a ship and it will avoided by the Indian pirates and idolaters.”

The East African Bantus of the land of Zanj (Negroland of East African) were
indeed Israelites and we have found that many of them have travelled to distant
lands and operated on all levels of society—from slave to ruler. The land of Zanj
was not only desirable as a location to live for various branches of Israelite Bantu
people but also a land filled with valuable resources. As a result, many different
nations across the Indian Ocean came to the land of Zanj to trade. The comments
of a 12th century muslim scholar of the pre-colombian era demonstrate the long
history of exchange between the Zanj and South East Asia.
Al-Idrisi, a Muslim geographer, cartographer and Egyptologist, in his description of the
Negro-land (Bilad al-Zanj) in the the Ninth Section of the First Clime, he says:
“And the people of Q.m.r [i.e. the Khmer] and the merchants of the territories of
Maharaj [i.e. Malaysia] come to them, associate with them and trade with them [the
Zanj].” – Islamic Studies, Volume 3, By Islamic Research Institute, 1964, PG 207

ZANJ NEGROES OF JAVA

emperor with two Seng Chi (Zanji) slaves as gifts, and Seng Chi slaves reaching China

is this day.” – Ezra 9:7
Not only did the Zanji trade with and travel to Southeast Asia but the also
reached as far as China and Japan. The Swahili Coast and the land of Zanj was the
spring-board catapulting East African Bantu’s into the far East. In fact, according
to Al Jahiz, the people of China were considered to be blacks, or at least, large
populations Blacks (Zanji/Negroes) could be found in China and South East Asia.

“The blacks are more numerous than the whites. The whites at most consist of the
people of Persia, Jibal, and Khurasan, the Greeks, Slavs, Franks, and Avars, and some
few others, not very numerous; the blacks include the Zanj, Ethiopians, the people of
Fazzan, the Berbers, the Copts, and Nubians, the people of Zaghawa, Marw, Sind and
India, Qamar and Dabila, China, and Masin… the islands in the seas between China and
Africa are full of blacks, such as Ceylon, Kalah, Amal, Zabij, and their islands, as far as
India, China, Kabul, and those shores.” – Islam, from the Prophet Muhammad to the
Capture of Constantinople: Religion and society, By Bernard Lewis, PG 214
Other research has also supported the fact that Zanji traded with, and travelled
to the Far East.

“Kenyan and Chinese archaeologists have unearthed evidence that clearly

demonstrates the history of the Old Malindi kingdom. The experts announced they had
come across a large ancient building built with a mixture of small stones and plastered
with red earth that could date back in the 14th century before the coming of the
Portuguese. The archeologists said the style of the building was Swahili… The
excavation work ongoing is part of the second phase of the Sh200 million (more than
USD 2.3 millions) research projects meant to trace the ancient trade links of the Chinese
along the Kenyan Coast…
… Later in November, another group of experts will be in the country to do underwater
archeology in search of a shipwreck believed to have been used for trade during the
ninth century. The underwater excavation will be screened live by the Chinese state
television CCTV. National Museums of Kenya’s Coast region assistant director Athman
Hussein and head of Coastal archeology Jambo Haro said the project, dubbed Sino-
Kenya project, is funded by the Chinese government to the tune of Sh200 million (more
than USD 2.3 millions). “What we want to do work is to look for ancient Malindi
Kingdom. You know the kingdom is a famous in China because in ancient literature
material, the Chinese began to record it from the ninth century and they keep
writing,” said Qin… In 2008, a shipwreck, estimated to be between 400-600 years old,
was discovered in Ngomeni by Kenyan underwater archeologist Caesar Bita, who said
the East African coast has been very active in terms intercontinental trade. “We have

The East African trade routes connected with the West African trade routes,
supplying a variety of goods and culture to be exchanged at the East African
coastal ports. However, despite the diversity found amongst the peoples from
East to West Africa, history provides evidence of a deep underlying cultural and
herititary connection between the two—the Hebrew language.

In our attempts to find further evidence in support of the Hebrew Israelites’

migration in to East Africa, and African in general, we find very strong support in
the writings of a certain Greek navigator. In his description of the peoples of both
East and West, Eudoxus of Cnidus makes some surprising observations. While
circumnavigating Africa, from East to West, Eudoxus noted that the East African
Zanji’s and the West African Negroes not only share similar customs, style of
dress and physical appearance, but that they also spoke the same language!
Could they have been the same people? The reported observations of the Greek
Eudoxus would seem to answer with a resounding, YES!
It appears as if the Bantu Expansion can be completely credited to the Israelite
migration into Africa and subsequent conquest of its indigenous Hamitic peoples.
The Bantus populated sub-Saharan Africa by stretching across its Eastern and
West coasts, as well as establishing communities deep within the interior of the
continent.

“… The Bantu and the Hebrew drew upon the same prehistoric sources of culture and
religious practices,” and again: “There are many indications that there was at least a
common source from which arose the Hebrew culture and that this also descended
from that. There are many place names in Palestine and more especially in the eastern
end of the Arabian peninsula that resemble Bantu names.” – Anthropological Series of
the Boston College Graduate School, Volume 3, Boston College Press, PG 360

The Bantu Expansion parallels the biblical records and tribal traditional
migration routes of the ancient Hebrew Israelites.

Hebrew Israelites, following down the Nile and Great Rift Valley.
As we continue following the trail of the Israelites down the Nile River and Great

encounter a few different tribes of East Africans who claim descent from the
ancient Israelites. One of the tribes is the Kikuyu.

Just south of Kenya we find the modern country of Tanzania. Tanzania is home to
many different Bantu African tribes that are descended from the Hebrew
Israelites. The peoples of Tanzania played an integral role in East African trade
with the Arab world and the Far East. They also had many cultural and religious
affinities with the ancient Israelites of whom they were descended from.
THE HAYA OR BAHAYA ARE A TANZANIAN BRANCH OF BANYANKOLE-
BANYORO-BATORO OF UGANDA.
“The Haya people of Tanzania have been linked to one of the greatest scientific
breakthroughs of all time: the invention of steel. Archaeologist Peter Schmidt
discovered through a literalist combination of archaeology and oral tradition that the
Haya had been forging steel for around 2000 years.” – Haya people, Wikipedia
ANTHROPOLOGICAL SERIES OF THE BOSTON COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL,
VOLUME 3, BOSTON COLLEGE PRESS, PG 354
The Bahaya people were not only Israelites, but they were also early pioneers in
the production of Steel!
JET MAGAZINE DEC 21, 1978, PG 56
The Bahaya people’s advanced knowledge of metallurgy and the ability to
produce Steel from iron blast furnaces allowed them to produce superior quality
tools and weapons. This in turned allowed them to be more successful in
agricultural endeavors and warfare. Knowledge of the production of steel tools
and weapons contributed greatly to the Bantu/Israelite Exanpsion in Africa and
into foreign lands. The Bahaya traded these superior goods, from the East coast
of Africa, to Arabs, Persians, Chinese, and other foreign merchants.
THE BANTU MIGRATIONS AND THE ORIGIN AND SPREAD OF AFRICAN IRON
WORKING CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE ISRAELITE MIGRATIONS, FROM
SYRIA/PALESTINE, INTO AFRICA.
“The Haya were centuries ahead of European metallurgists.
When Anthropologist Peter Schmidt first visited the Haya people of Tanzania on the
western shore of Lake Victoria, nine years ago, his goal was to study their complex
heritage, which is passed orally from one generation to the next. On that and
subsequent trips, he not only accomplished what he had set out to do but made a
serendipitous discovery that alters the history of technology.
Writing in the current issue of Science, Schmidt and Metallurgy Professor Donald Avery,
both of Brown University, report that as long as 2,000 years ago, the Haya people were
producing medium-carbon steel in preheated, forced-draft furnaces. A technology this
sophisticated was not developed again until nearly 19 centuries later, when German-
born Metallurgist Karl Wilhelm Siemens, who is generally credited with using an open-
hearth furnace, produced the first high-grade carbon steel.” – TIME Magazine
Moving even further south along the East Africa Coast we finally end up in the
Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South African region. Although there are many
Bantu peoples in the area, one of the Bantu peoples that have some of th
strongest and most recognized claims to ancient Israelite heritage are the Lemba
people.
THE LEMBA, WA-REMBA, OR MWENYE ARE A SOUTHERN AFRICAN ETHNIC
GROUP FOUND IN PRESENT-DAY ZIMBABWE AND SOUTH AFRICA, WITH
SMALLER, LITTLE-KNOWN BRANCHES IN MOZAMBIQUE AND MALAWI… THE
NAME “LEMBA” MAY ORIGINATE IN CHILEMBA, A SWAHILI WORD FOR
TURBANS WORN BY SOME BANTU PEOPLES, OR LEMBI, A BANTU WORD
MEANING “NON-AFRICAN” OR “RESPECTED FOREIGNER”.
“In the late 20th century the British scholar Tudor Parfitt, an expert in marginal Jewish
groups, became involved in researching the Lemba’s claims. He helped trace ancestors
to Senna, what they believe is an ancestral city on the Arabian peninsula, in present-
day Yemen. In an interview featured on NOVA in 2000, Parfitt said he was struck by the
Lemba’s maintenance of rituals that seemed Jewish and/or Semitic:
“The other thing was the extraordinary importance they placed upon ritual slaughter of
animals, which is not an African thing at all. Of course, it’s Islamic as well as Judaic, but
it’s certainly from the Middle East, it’s not African. And the fact that every lad was given
a knife with which he did his ritual throughout his life and took to his grave. That
seemed to me to be remarkably, tangibly Semitic Middle Eastern.” – PBS NOVA
HAMLET ZHOU, A LEMBA MUSICIAN
The Lemba claim to have travelled an alternate route of travel to South East
Africa, than the one we have previously discussed. They are believed to have
traveled southward, from Israel, through Arabia before settling in Yemen. From
Yemen they then travel by sea and/or by land into their current location in the
Southeast African territories.
The Lemba are not the only people in the area to have been considered to be
connect with the ancient Hebrew Israelites. Many of the other groups
surrounding the Lemba as have Israelite ancestry that arrived by the routes we
have discussed previous to the Lemba. Some of the different African tribal groups
perhaps have Israelite ancestry that arrived and settled in the South East African
regions as early as the times of King Solomon, King David or further back in
ancient history. Evidence of the Israelite presence in the region can be found in
the magnificent architecture found in the ruins of the stone city of Great
Zimbabwe.

The territory of the Zulu people borders the modern country of Mozambique,
which is where one of Japan’s early Negro Samurai was taken from. It should be
understood that the grand majority of Southeastern Africa was populated by
Bantu peoples, all of whom have strong Israelite connections. Japan’s samurai
Yasuke from Mozambique was descended from this same stock of people.

“Yasuke, (variously rendered as 弥助 or 弥介) (c. 1555/6-?) was a black (African, or of

African origin) retainer who was in the service of the Japanese hegemon and
warlord Oda Nobunaga between 1581 and 1582… According to Histoire Ecclesiastique
Des Isles Et Royaumes Du Japon, written by François Solier of the Society of Jesus in
1627, Yasuke was a Muslim from Mozambique… although there is no evidence, it is also
possible that he also came from Portugal, Angola or Ethiopia, and he could conceivably
originally have been an African mercenary in the employ of an Indian sovereign, of
which there were many at this time…” – Yasuke, Wikipedia

relations to ancient Israelite migrations, and their movement down the East
coast of Africa, it is not difficult to conclude that Yasuke was a Bantu descendant
of the ancient Israelites. He is one of many Israelites that we will discover that
traveled to Japan
ACCORDING TO HISTOIRE ECCLESIASTIQUE DES ISLES ET ROYAUMES DU
JAPON, WRITTEN BY FRANÇOIS SOLIER OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS IN 1627,
YASUKE WAS A MUSLIM FROM MOZAMBIQUE
“Yasuke probably arrived in Japan in 1579 as the servant, slave, bodyguard, or
indentured servant of the Italian Jesuit Alessandro Valignano, who had been appointed
the Visitor (inspector) of the Jesuit missions in the Indies, meaning East
Africa, South and East Asia. He accompanied Valignano when the latter came to the
capital area in March 1581 and caused something of a sensation. In one event, several
people were crushed to death while clamouring to get a look at him, the Jesuits feared
their church would be flattened but they managed to avert disaster. Nobunaga heard
the noise from the temple where he was staying and expressed a desire to see him.
Suspecting the black color of his skin to be black ink, Nobunaga had him strip from the
waist up and made him scrub his skin. These events are recorded in a 1581 letter of the
Jesuit Luis Frois to Lorenço Mexia and in the 1582 Annual Report of the Jesuit Mission
in Japan, also by Frois.”
“The “Lord Nobunaga Chronicle” (信長公記 Shinchōkōki) corroborates Frois’ account,
and describes their meeting thus: “On the 23rd of the 2nd month [March 23, 1581], a
black page (黒坊主 “kuro-bōzu”) came from the Christian countries. He looked about 26
[24 or 25 by Western count] or 27 years old; his entire body was black like that of
an ox. The man was healthy and good-looking with a good demeanour. Moreover,
Nobunaga praised Yasuke’s strength, describing it as that of ten normal men.
Nobunaga’s nephew, probably Tsuda Nobusumi, gave him a sum of money at this first
meeting.” – Yasuke, Wikipedia
In conclusion to our East African Israelite article we will make our last stop on
the Island of Madagascar. This island is said to have many different tribes that
are descended from the ancient Israelites. The majorities of the peoples who
populated the Island migrated from branches of different East African Israelite
tribes looking for new lands as a result of the Bantu Expansion/Israelite
migrations.

We have finally reached the end of this particular article on East Africa and its
Israelites descendants. We discovered how the majority of the Israelites
migrated into East Africa by following the Nile River and Great Rift Valley
southward, from Egypt to Kush and further.
For those who still find it hard to believe that such a migration is implausible, the
same route was travelled by a modern scholar, that walked the Nile from top to
bottom (CLICK HERE). His success provides further evidence that it was indeed
possible for the Israelites to have arrived in their modern East African territories
by traveling down this ancient route. We now know for certain that the Bantu are
Hebrew Israelites and that from West Africa’s Negroland to East Africa’s Land of
Zanj, Israelites can be found. These are the same people who were target for
slavery and fulfill the Biblical prophesy of Deuteronomy 28:15-68, being
scattered all over the world into all kingdoms.

In this post I would like to establish the fact that the ‘Bantu’ branch of Africans,
generally concentrated in Sub-Saharan part of the continent, and their related
family branches are actually descendants of the Hebrew Israelites. Identifying
the Bantu as the descendants of the Israelites extremely important. Having the
understanding that the Bantu are Israelites is integral in order to gain a broader
and more accurate comprehension of who the Israelites are, where their
descendants are located, and what contributions they have made to the world.

Many of us are already very familiar with the Zondervan’s Bible Dictionary’s Ham
(son of Noah), definition. Those who are not, please become soon familiar with it.
However, again, for those of use who are already familiar with the Zondervan’s
Bible Dictionary definition of Ham, we know that by it [the definition of Ham] we
know that the Negroes are not Ham’s (true African) descendants.
ZONDERVAN’S BIBLE DICTIONARY, DEFINITION OF HAM
In fact, the historical mythology and traditions of the Yoruba people themselves
speak of their origins outside of Africa in the Near East (Shemitic) region. Dierk
Lange, Prof. Dr. Emeritus, of Bayreuth University in Germany, has performed
extensive research concerning many West African groups and their origins in the
Near East. In the abstract to one of his many essays, “Dierk Lange: Origin of the
Yoruba and “The Lost Tribes of Israel”,” Dierk confirms the traditions of a
Levantine (Israelite) origin of the Yoruba Nigerians.

“On the basis of comparative studies between the dynastic tradition of the Oyo-Yoruba
and ancient Near Eastern history, the present article argues that Yoruba traditions of
provenance, claiming immigration from the Near East, are basically correct. According
to Ọyo-Yoruba tradition, the ancestral Yoruba saw the Assyrian conquests of the
Israelite kingdom from the ninth and the eighth centuries B.C. from the perspective of
the Israelites. After the fall of Samaria in 722 B.C.., they were deported to eastern Syria
and adopted the ruling Assyrian kings as their own.” – Origin of the Yoruba and “The
Lost Tribes of Israel”, By Dierk Lange
THE GREAT MIGRATION OF REFUGEES FROM THE COLLAPSING ASSYRIAN
EMPIRE C. 605 B.C. ACCORDING TO YORUBA TRADITION.
Dierk continues in the same article, stating that the Yoruba, although thought to
be of local (African) origins actually migrated to the west coast of Africa from far
away (the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and/or Egypt/Nubia). The Yoruba
preserved evidence of their ancient Near Eastern (Israelite) ancestral origins
despite other cultural influences and traditions superseding their own in Africa
over time.

“According to the present opinion, the Yoruba are of local origin [African/Hamite], but
this opinion reflects the great influence of post colonialism on African historiography
rather than sober text-critical research. It involves the fallacious dismissal of the major
traditions of provenance suggesting an origin of the ancestral Yoruba in the Near East.
In fact, before the rise of academic African historiography in connection with the
independence of African states around 1960, scholars relied more directly on the
available traditions of Yoruba origin and they did some comparative research between
Yoruba, ancient Mediterranean and Israelite cultures. On the basis of this evidence they
suggested that the Yoruba immigrated from far away: either from Phoenicia, the
Mediterranean world, Egypt, or Nubia (Biobaku 1955: 8–13; Lange 1995: 40–48). If any
of these suppositions could be shown to be true and present opinion to be ideologically
biased, it would mean that a culture of the ancient world survived in sub-Saharan
Africa, which in the area of origin was superseded by subsequent sweeping
developments such as Hellenization, Christianization and Islamization (Lange 1995,
1997, 1999).”
The Ibo people of Nigeria are also known to be descendants of the ancient
Hebrew Israelites.
“These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter
Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three. And the sons of
Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.” – Genesis 49:15-
16
This information is noteworthy because it identifies two of the primary tribes of
the Niger-Congo branch of West Africans, the Yoruba and Ibo, as being “Middle
Eastern”/Shemitic/Semitic Israelites that migrated into to Africa from territories
outside of the African continent. The Bantu people are related to the Niger-Congo
groups because it is from the Niger-Congo regions that the Bantu expansion
originated.
MAP OF SOME OF THE ISRAELITE MIGRATIONS AND COLONIES IN THE
ANCIENT WORLD
In a separate article, Dierk Lange goes further to not just speak of the West
Africans as having Near East cultural influences amongst them but he, and other
members of the German culture historical school, also found similarities all over
Africa.

“Members of the German culture historical school were convinced that states in West
Africa originated in pre-Roman times as a result of Near Eastern or Mediterranean
influences. They noted surprising similarities between the institutions of surviving
traditional states all over Africa and therefore believed in a vast movement of
diffusion.” – The Founding of Kanem by Assyrian Refugees ca. 600 BCE: Documentary,
Linguistic, and Archaeological Evidence, by Dierk Lange
This vast ‘movement of diffusion’ of Near-East/Mediterranean influences all over
Africa can be attributed to the consecutive migrations of Israelites into Africa.
The earliest movements of diffusion are known as the “Bantu Expansion.”

So, in review, we can infer from the previous information that:

 Zondervan’s Bible Dictionary let’s us know that the Negroes are not Hamites
(True Africans) but instead are from Shem (Middle Eastern). The Negroes
are Shemitic
 Dierk Lange’s research has made it clear that the Yoruba of the Niger-Congo
(Negroland) region are indeed Shemitic.
 The Niger-Congo people had a branch that diffused the Near-
East/Mediterranean customs throughout the lands the migrated all over
Africa during the Bantu Expansion.
Therefore the Bantu’s of Sub Saharan Africa are related to the Niger-Congo
peoples who are Negros found in the African region (West Africa) identified as
Negroland.

Furthermore, the Negroes’ presence in the Western Hemisphere (North, Central,
South America & the Caribbean) and Europe as a result of the Trans-Atlantic
slave trade, which was a direct result of the biblical prophesy recorded in the
book of Deuteronomy, chapter 28.
‘AFRICAN-AMERICANS’ IDENTIFIED AS ISRAELITES AND RECOGNIZED BY
VIRGINIA STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
This prophesy of the curse of Antebellum Slavery (as the thought of the word
‘slavery’ appears in the mind of the American Negro), is recorded in all it’s details
in the book of Deuteronomy (28:15-68), and it was spoke by Moses to the
children of Israel/Jacob (the Israelites). The curse of slavery is a sign (Deut
28:46) to identify who are the descendant of the Israelites for it was the
Israelites who received the curses as a result of their choice to disobey the laws
and agreement made with the Most High god between himself and the Israelites
ONLY. Therefore, we Negroes in the western hemisphere, whose most recent
ancestors were taken primarily from the west coast of Africa (Negroland) and
brought into bondage are indeed the Israelites.

The Shemitic Negro, who took up residence in Africa and there became known as
the Niger-Congo Bantu, among infinite alternative tribal epithets, is the Israelite
through lineal-heritage.
This fact makes the Negroes of the Western Hemisphere Israelites by lineal
descent as well.
For those who are reading this post and immediately are concerned and thinking
about the Negroes relation to the Egypt and (or) Ethiopia, Egypt and Ethiopia
will be addressed in a separate post. The Moors will also be addressed in a
separate post. The Moorish Negro period of history and especially the ancient
Egyptian and Ethiopian Negro histories are all both essential and complimentary
to the history of Israelites. The understanding of the Negro presence and
contributions while living amongst Hamitic nations
(Egypt/Mizraim/Mizor/Misor & Ethiopia/Cush/Kush) is important to
understand the greater diaspora of Israelite communities.
The records of the Hebrew Israelites in the Bible say that the Israelites would be
scattered throughout the four corners of the Earth. Most of the Negroes in the
Western Hemisphere are only familiar with the West and the Trans-Atlantic
Slave Trade but not many people are familiar with the East African Slave trade.

INDIAN OCEAN SLAVE TRADE DOMINATED BY THE ARABS (ISHMAEL)

TRANSPORTING ISRAELITES AS FAR EAST AS CHINA.
Understanding that the Negroes = Bantus = the Israelites is a critical point to
realize because it connects us to the mysteries of the East. Just as we are familiar
with the West African ‘Negroland’ that the ‘Ameri-Caribo’ Negroes are descended
from we must also become familiar with the East African Negroland. The East
African Negroland was known as Zanj, which means “land of the Negroes” in
Arabic. Zanj is populated by Bantu people as well, of course, therefore making
them also Israelites.
The histories of the Bantu Israelites of the East African Zanj will lead us to many
connections between the Bantu Israelites and the Far East. Again, the
understanding that the Niger Congo = Bantu/Zanji = Negroes = Israelites is
imperative to understand the origins of many mysteries of the Far East so that
we might have a better eye to see Israelites in all four corners of their dispersion
and trace them through history.

ISRAELITES MIGRATE FROM ANCIENT ISRAEL INTO EAST AFRICAN ZANJI

AREAS
The East African Zanji, who were mainly enslaved by the Arabs, were sent to
places like India, Java, and China as servants but prior to the period of slavery the
Zanji travelled to the same lands are merchants, mercenaries, farmers and
among many other professions. In fact, history seems to demonstrate that the
Bantu Israelites brought civilization from the African continent and the Near
East, and introduced it to the Far East. When I say civilization, I mean things such
as advanced iron smelting techniques and agricultural practices (rice terraces),;
herbology and the foundations of Dravidian and Chinese traditional medicine,
irrigation, architecture and more.

In order to make further distinction between the Shemitic Negro and the Hamitic
African, let’s return back to the Zondervan’s Bible Dictionary definition of Ham.
The definition states that Ham was the “progenitor (father) of the dark races; not
the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.” The
ethnographic world map below, found in a 1932 German encyclopedia, provides
great visual support to the Zondervan’s definition of Ham. The map makes a clear
distinction in Africa between the Hamite (Hamiten) and the Sudan/Bantu Neger.
Both the Sudan and Bantu Neger (Sub-Saharan Negros) fall under the Negroide
Rasse (Negro Race) classification.
A GERMAN 1932 ETHNOGRAPHIC MAP (MEYERS BLITZ-LEXIKON) CLEARLY
SHOWING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE HAMITE (HAMITEN) AND THE
NEGRO/ISRAELITE OF SUB SAHARAN AFRICA (NEGROIDE RASSE).
It is also interesting to note that the Sudan/Bantu Negers are on the map
highlights the same areas that are identified as areas of the Niger-Congo and
Bantu peoples, whom are Israelites. Thus, it becomes of further intrigue, if we
understand that the Hamite is not the Negro, and that the Negro is the Israelite,
that on this particular map under the Negro Race classification we can find other
racial groups outside of Africa that are also classified and related to the Negro
Race. Groups such as the Hottentotten, Melanesier, Negrito, Australier, and the
Dravida, are all listed as part of the Negro Race and are strongly connected with
East African trade routes and the Zanji Bantu Israelites. This map helps to
demonstrate the connection between the Zanji/Bantu all the various places along
the eastern trade routes.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the region of the continent with the highest population
density of by Negroes (non-Hamitic African). These Negroes have also been
identified as Israelites. The research of scholars corroborates the biblical records
of the Hebrew Israelites, which also states that Sub-Saharan Africa would be an
area inhabited by the Israelites.

“From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed,
shall bring mine offering.” – Zephaniah 3:10
The Bantu are the Israelite suppliants who will bring the offering of the Most
High God I AM THAT I AM at the appointed time according to Biblical prophesy.
Moreover, the previous scripture calls the Israelites the daughter of God’s
dispersed, referring to their dispersion/diaspora as a result of various captivities
of the Israelites. Many of the traditional histories of sub Saharan Bantu African’s
speak their Near East origins before migrating into Africa (Yoruba, Lemba,
Ashanti, Etc.). This traditional histories serve as further evidence that supports
the biblical record’s account of the dispersion of the Israelites into all parts of the
earth from their homeland; Israel. Bantu’s are not Hamitic but are actually
Israelites and therefore Africa is not the “Motherland”. Israel is the Most High
God’s Holy land and the Motherland of the Israelite nation.

“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” – Galatians 4:26

The Bantu found in the sub Saharan regions of Africa as a result of what
historians have called the Bantu expansion. The Bantu Expansion was a process
by which the Bantu Africans separated themselves from the Hamitic Africans in
the North and North Eastern parts of Africa. Their advanced knowledge of
agriculture and working gave the Bantu the advantage over the indigenous
Hamitic populations in Africa by allowing them to support large populations
through the construction of advanced settled communities. As communities
prospered and families grew, the initial areas of settlement became unable to
support the abundance of people, animals and crops and thus the Bantu
Expansion eventually colonized the whole of sub Saharan Africa. However, where
did the Bantu gain the knowledge that allowed them to prosper and conquer the
African continent? Egypt of course. Understanding that the Bantu are indeed the
Israelites allows us to make the connection between the technological advances
of ancient Egypt and the technologies that fueled the Bantu Expansion.

We know that the Israelites, according to the bible, lived in the land of egypt for a
few generations before the famous Exodus under Moses’ leadership. The body of
knowledge that provided the success of the Bantu Expansion (advanced
metallurgy, animal husbandry, architecture, carpentry, agricultural, astrological,
religious, etc.) was inherited by these Bantu from their Israelite ancestors during
their long residence in Egypt. The Israelites gathered a lot of skills during
their time in Egypt. They mastered these technical skills because they were
forced to utilize their talents to build all of Egypt. Moreover, they were
threatened with death or the death of their children if they did not perform to
standard in their work of constructing Egypt. The threat of losing your life or
your child’s is definitely motivation and incentive to master any and all task
placed before yourself. Egyptian architecture and civilization is known to be
some of the most advanced in the world. Some in fact, credit the mysteries of
Egypt to ancient aliens because of the intricate precision of the ancient
structures. According to the book of Jasher, the whole of Egypt, and namely the
cities Pithom and Ramses, was built by the Israelites. The Israelites had mastered
these skills to perfection because of the violent bondage and strict religion-based
building codes of the Egyptians.

“And the children of Israel built Pithom and Rameses, and all the children of Israel did
the work, some making bricks, and some building, and the children of Israel built and
fortified all the land of Egypt and its walls, and the children of Israel were engaged in
work for many years, until the time came when the Lord remembered them and
brought them out of Egypt. But the children of Levi were not employed in the work with
their brethren of Israel, from the beginning unto the day of their going forth from Egypt.
For all the children of Levi knew that the Egyptians had spoken all these words with
deceit to the Israelites, therefore the children of Levi refrained from approaching to the
work with their brethren. And the Egyptians did not direct their attention to make the
children of Levi work afterward, since they had not been with their brethren at the
beginning, therefore the Egyptians left them alone. And the hands of the men of Egypt
were directed with continued severity against the children of Israel in that work, and
the Egyptians made the children of Israel work with rigor. And the Egyptians
embittered the lives of the children of Israel with hard work, in mortar and bricks, and
also in all manner of work in the field. And the children of Israel called Melol the king of
Egypt “Meror, king of Egypt,” because in his days the Egyptians had embittered their
lives with all manner of work. And all the work wherein the Egyptians made the
children of Israel labor, they exacted with rigor, in order to afflict the children of Israel,
but the more they afflicted them, the more they increased and grew, and the Egyptians
were grieved because of the children of Israel.” – Jasher 65: 31-38

“And when Pharaoh king of Egypt saw that the counsel which Balaam had advised
respecting the children of Israel did not succeed, but that still they were fruitful,
multiplied and increased throughout the land of Egypt, Then Pharaoh commanded in
those days that a proclamation should be issued throughout Egypt to the children of
Israel, saying, No man shall diminish any thing of his daily labor.
And the man who shall be found deficient in his labor which he performs daily, whether
in mortar or in bricks, then his youngest son shall be put in their place. And the labor of
Egypt strengthened upon the children of Israel in those days, and behold if one brick
was deficient in any man’s daily labor, the Egyptians took his youngest boy by force
from his mother, and put him into the building in the place of the brick which his father
had left wanting. And the men of Egypt did so to all the children of Israel day by day, all
the days for a long period. But the tribe of Levi did not at that time work with the
Israelites their brethren, from the beginning, for the children of Levi knew the cunning
of the Egyptians which they exercised at first toward the Israelites.” – Jasher 69:4-9
Under pain of death the Israelites worked hard at their crafts to avoid
punishment and later took their mastery of various knowledge outside of Egypt
with them during their migrations. Evidence of this can be clearly demonstrated
in the Bantu Expansion which will connect of to other places in the world
connected to the Bantu Expansion that also hold evidences of the same
connections to Egyptian knowledge as well.

Through the understanding of the Israelites identification with the Bantu and
related people of Africa, and their long residence in ancient Egypt, it will become
much easier for us to make logical and historically accurate connections between
the biblical records of the Israelites and modern secular historical,
archaeological, and anthropological research. We will continue in PART II.
The Bantu Branch of ‘Africans’ are Hebrew Israelites PART II
of II

The Bantu Israelites continued from PART I

In order to further our understanding of the Bantu Israelites presences in Africa
we must go back to the time of the Exodus, and even a bit before that. During the
times preceding the Exodus of the Israelites under Moses, history records other
smaller exodus’. As a result of the new Hamitic leadership of Egypt regaining
political power through the a military take over and the subsequent enslavement
of the Hyksos Israelites that followed, some Israelites decided to leave Egypt.
These pre-Exodus migrations of Israelites resulted in populations of Israelites in
the Mediterranean, Africa and even India.

“And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. And the children of Israel
were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty,
and the land was filled with them. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which
knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of
Israel are more and mightier than we.” – Exodus 1:6-9
We must be mindful that the Israelites comprised the majority of the population
of ancient Egypt during the Hyksos period and it was because of this huge
population that they were considered a threat to the indigenous Hamitic
inhabitants of Egypt. We will see that the Israelites will become a threat in all the
lands of their captivity, primarily because of the large populations they
developed in all the lands of their captivities (ie Assyria, Persia). After the Hyksos
Israelites were overthrown, many of them relocated to escape the hard bondage
that followed.

“Overthrowing the Hyksos relieved them of the abomination of the foreign ‘shepherd
kings’ ruling over them, but they now had another problem. The children of Israel had
multiplied greatly and outnumbered the Egyptians. It also states that they were
‘mightier’ than the Egyptians, which would indicate a military power established while
the Hyksos ruled… What happened to them after they were overthrown? Once
overthrown by military defeat, these rulers would have either been killed in battle,
killed as hostages, or they escaped. We know from Egyptian and Greek historians that
there were several ‘exodus’ events of Israelites from Egypt, the last being Moses’
Exodus. Prior to that, others were driven out or escaped from Egypt. The ones that
escaped were probably able to do so because of their financial or ruling position in their
society. The children of Israel who remained in Egypt were placed in bondage and
eventually freed through Moses… It is sufficient to identify the names of the important
rulers who [were] exiled from Egypt. Two of these names are [Judah] Zarah’s son’s
names, Calcol and Darda, and he others are Cadmus and Danaus.” – Israelology – The
Birthright, House of Israel, Kingdom, and Sons of God, By Paul H. Andree, III, PG 50

“And the sons of Zerah; Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them
in all.” – 1 Chronicles 2:6
“And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and
all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and
Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations
round about.” – 1 Kings 4:30-31
Martin Bernal, in his book Black Athena, states,
“The equation of the Hyksos and the Israelites is not new. Hekataios of Abdera, writing
at the end of the 4th century BC, maintained that the Jewish tradition of the Exodus—
and the Greek traditions of the migrations of Danaos and Kadmos—both came from the
expulsion of the Hyksos. In one version of his history, Manetho saw that the first
pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, whom he called Tethmôsis, as having expelled the
‘shepherds.’ In another they are called ‘Jews’ under their leader Moses. It is uncertain if
it was Manetho who made the equation, rather than the later excerpters, but it would
seem very likely. There is absolutely no doubt that Apion, the Alexandrian anti-Semite
of the 1st century AD, and his polemical opponent Josephus treated the Hyksos and the
Jews as identical; Josepus in fact described them as ‘the so-called Shepherds, our
ancestors’.” – Black Athena: The archaeological and documentary evidence, edited
by Martin Bernal, PG 357
When asked, by the host of the show, the question, “how has the image of Greece
changed over the last 2000 years?” Martin Bernal responded,

“Well, its changed very fundamentally in that the classical writers, people like
Herodotus who you quoted when we started, had a very clear image that the Greeks
had been living there, at a rather primitive level and along had come Egyptians and
Phoenicians. Phoenicians are the people who lived on the Levant, in present Lebanon.
And, these people had set up cities and had civilized the Greeks and taught them
irrigation, new weapons, the alphabet, how to write; a whole series of things were
attributed to these Egyptian and Phoenician colonizers. Then, later Greeks were
supposed to have gone to Egypt to study to improve on their knowledge of Egyptian
culture.” – Martin Bernal, For the People, “Black Athena”, Live broadcast on October
25, 1987.
The Israelites that escaped Egypt prior to Moses’ Exodus were of an elite branch
of Israelites who ruled in Egypt. These Israelites, mainly comprised of the
Israelite tribes of Judah (Zarah lineage) and Dan. These Israelites fled Egypt and
migrated North across the Mediterranean Sea. We will cover the early Israelite
presence in the Mediterranean in a separate blog.
“All the hero Gods Theseus, Bacchus, Æsculapius, &c., were saviours and black saviours
too. These black icons were made when man himself was black. He made his God after
himself, and then said that man was made after the image of God.” Anacalypsis an
Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis, Volume 1, By Godfrey Higgins, PG
630
“Osiris and his Bull were black; all the Gods and Goddesses of Greece were black: at
least this was the case with Jupiter, Bacchus, Hercules, Apollo, Ammon.The Goddesses
Venus, Isis, Hecati, Diana, Juno, Metis, Ceres, Cybile, are black. The Multi-mammia is
black in the Campidoglio at Rome, and in Montfaucon, Antiquity explained.”
– Anacalypsis an Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis …, Volume 1, By
Godfrey Higgins, PG 138
Some Israelites, instead of fleeing into the Mediterranean, also migrated
southward into African (Hamitic) lands. We will find that no matter where the
Israelites migrated to after Egypt, they brought with them much of the traditions,
culture and religious beliefs of the Egyptians. The Israelites who chose not to
maintain the worship of the God of their Ancestors introduced the wisdom and
pagan religion they hard learned from the Egyptians to almost all the colonies
they established outside of Egypt; mixing pagan beliefs with the true religion of
their Israelite ancestors. One of the many pagan beliefs exported by the Israelites
from Egypt in to foreign countries was idolatry in the form of Animism and
Luminary worship (i.e., Eastern Animal Zodiac worship).

“From what I have offered about the several steps which the Egyptians took in the
progress of their superstitions and idolatry, it will be easy to determine what their
religion was when Cecrops, Cadmus, or Danaus left Egypt; and consequently what
religion or deities these men may be supposed to have introduced into Greece. The
Egyptians had dedicated sacred animals to their sidereal deities before these men left
them: all their other innovations were more modern, and consequently this practice
these men carried with them into foreign countries. The Greeks, in the first days of their
idolatry, worshipped, as the Egyptians did, the sun moon and stars, and elements. In
after-ages they worshipped hero-gods; but these were not until about the time of
Homer. Herodotus says expressly, that Hesiod and Homer introduced these deities…
The Greeks worshipped their gods without any images of any sort, until after Oenotrus
the son of Lycaon led his colony into Italy… Lycaon, the father of Oenotrus, was
contemporary with Cecrops, the first of the travellers who came to Greece from Egypt;
and most probably Danaus, the last of them introduced the image of a wolf, for the
direction of his worship to Apollo Lycius; so that from all these circumstances it is very
plain, that the images of animals were at first set up as idols in Greece, much about the
time of, and by the direction of these men. As the Israelites made a calf in Horeb after
their patterns, soon after Moses had left them out of Egypt…so much about this time the
Greeks were led into the same sort of idolatry by the Egyptian travellers, who came to
live amongst them.” – The sacred and profane history of the world connected, By
Samuel Shuckford, PG 474
The same sort of idolatry (animism and luminary worship) that was practiced
amongst the Israelites during the time if the Exodus (Aaron’s Golden Calf) was
also being introduced into Greece at the same time by the same people who left
Egypt; the Israelites. We will see this same Animism and Sun, Moon, and star
worship arrive in Africa (and eventual India as well) as a result of the various
migrations of Israelites from Egypt, as well the many different post Exodus
migrations. It must be understood that the polytheistic paganism inherited by
some of the Israelites during their residence in Egypt was an animism based on
astrology. The animal symbols of the zodiac constellations represent archetypes
of the spiritual beings that rule over these celestial bodies. This makes the
veneration of the zodiac and involuntary worshipping of angels (Colossians 2:18)
because the stars and constellations are spiritual powers that influence
terrestrial affairs. The Egyptian spiritual system possessed detailed
informationon how to consult these animal spirits and harness their powers,
protection and guidance. This Egyptian spiritual system of zodiac worship, in the
form of animism was dispersed into places as far as China because of the
dispersion of the Israelites.
The association between animals, nature, spirits, elements and celestial
constellations (animism) has been practiced for many generations by the Bantu
peoples. However, the ancestral God and spiritual ruler of the Israelites, the God
that freed them from the bondage of Egypt, revealed to Moses on the mountain
by the name of I AM THAT I AM (Exodus 3:13-15), formerly known as the God
Almighty/The Most High God (Exodus 6:3), emphatically warned the Israelites
against idolatry and luminary worship.
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” –
Exodus 20:4

“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I
teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the
Lord God of your fathers giveth you… Keep therefore and do them; for this is your
wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these
statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. For what
nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all
things that we call upon him for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes
and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?” –
Deuteronomy 4:1, 6-8
“Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed
their glory for that which doth not profit… For my people have committed two evils;
they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” – Jeremiah 2:11, 13
 “And the Lord spake unto you out of the
midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a
voice… Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of
similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure,
the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the
likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, The likeness of any thing that creepeth
on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: And lest
thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the
stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them,
which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. But the
Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to
be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.” – Deuteronomy 4:12, 15-20
“Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed
their glory for that which doth not profit… For my people have committed two evils;
they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water… Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love?
therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. Also in thy skirts is found the
blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon
all these.” – Jeremiah 2:11, 13, 33-34
The records of the Israelites clearly state that it was they who taught the wicked
ones their ways. I believe this to mean that it was the Israelites who left the
worship of their God to worship the gods of foreign nations and taught the rest of
the world all they had learned (and mastered), originally while in Egypt, to the
gentile nations they subsequently came into contact with. This brief historical
review into some of the beginnings of Israelite pagan practices provides
confirmation of what the Biblical account proclaims. It is the Israelites who left
Egypt and introduced the mysteries of Egypt to the foreign lands they sojourned
to. In reference to our topic of Bantu as Israelites we return to examine Africa.
 Joseph Eidelberg, in his book Bambara, highlighted the
presence of Israelite descendants migrating into West Africa during the Exodus.
He records the Israelite influence he noticed amongst various African cultures;
particularly focusing on the people of Bambara.

FOUNDERS OF MALI
“In 1972, after returning from the Ivory Coast, the author published his first book,
Bambara, a story about Hebrew biblical footprints left in ancient African cultures that
uncovers, as a fascinating step by step puzzle, the forty-year mysterious journey
through African coast, deserts, mountains and seas on the way from Egypt to Israel…
[during] his engineering carrier, while managing large Israeli overseas engineering
operations, including Iran and Ivory Coast, the author discovered some interesting
linguistic and cultural similarities between the Hebrew language and Bambara, spoken
by an African tribe in Mali.” – The Biblical Hebrew Origin of the Japanese People, By

BAMBARA PEOPLE IN UPPER SÉNÉGAL RIVER VALLEY, 1890. (ILLUSTRATION
FROM COLONEL FREY’S CÔTE OCCIDENTALE D’AFRIQUE, 1890, FIG.49 P.87)
The Bambara people (also known as the Bamana) are a Mandé people living in
west Africa, primarily in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal. The
Bambara/Bamana are also said to be a branch of the Mandinka people. The
Mandinka people and the territory of the Bamana people coincide with the area
of West Africa called ‘Negroland’.
The cover of Joseph Eidelberg’s book, Bambara, clearly dipicts the area of West
Africa. West Africa is also known as ‘Negroland’ and is the home of the Niger-
Congo Bantu Israelites.

Negroland West Africa is not only the residence of the Bambara/Bamana people
but also their distant relatives; the Yoruba people. The Bamana people and the
Yoruba can both be connected to Ancient Egypt and the Israelites. Cheikh Anta
Diop, in her book, Precolonial Black Africa, references the researcher Jonathan
Olumide Lucas, who connects the Yoruba with Egypt.

“According to J. Olumide Lucas, the Yoruba during antiquity lived in ancient Egypt,
before migrating to the Atlantic coast. He uses as demonstration the similarity or
identity of languages, religious beliefs, customs, and names of persons, places and
things. Abundant proof of intimate connection between the ancient Egyptians and the
Yoruba may be produced under this head. Most of the principal gods were well known,
at one time, to the Yoruba.” – Precolonial Black Africa, By Cheikh Anta Dio, Chapter X

Other researchers have also provided evidence of the Yoruba connection with
Egypt. Dierk Lange, Professor emeritus Of African History at the University of
Beyreuth in Bavaria Germany, in his article titled, Origin of the Yoruba and “The
Lost Tribes of Israel,” went a step further and also connected the Yoruba with the
Egyptians and the Israelites.
“According to the present opinion, the Yoruba are of local origin [African/Hamite], but
this opinion reflects the great influence of post colonialism on African historiography
rather than sober text-critical research. It involves the fallacious dismissal of the major
traditions of provenance suggesting an origin of the ancestral Yoruba in the Near East.
In fact, before the rise of academic African historiography in connection with the
independence of African states around 1960, scholars relied more directly on the
available traditions of Yoruba origin and they did some comparative research between
Yoruba, ancient Mediterranean and Israelite cultures. On the basis of this evidence they
suggested that the Yoruba immigrated from far away: either from Phoenicia, the
Mediterranean world, Egypt, or Nubia (Biobaku 1955: 8–13; Lange 1995: 40–48).”
Other scholars have also pointed out connections between the Yoruba and the
Israelites.
“What is crucial is that the Exodus from Egypt may have gone toward Israel with some
element moving toward the western parts of Africa. This is because in Ifa there are so
many striking similarities to ancient Egypt cosmology and some aspects of early
Hebrew mysticism. There appears to be a striking similarity between the divination
systems of Ifa and the Ancient Essene sect of Palestine. The number systems are too
close for mere coincidence (Fatunmbi, 1991). Both are based on the same 256 marks
used to organize the manifest forces of nature. These suggest a root system of which
there are many inter-connecting branches… The Ifá system was known to have been in
active use in these regions and to have traveled along the trade routes with other ideas
and goods. The Black Hebrews have their own chronology of dispersion and influence
from ancient times to areas in Egypt-Ethiopia and West Africa, especially to the West
African peoples of the Ashanti, Yoruba, Nok, Hausa and Songhai (Ammi, 1982).” – The
African Unconscious, By Edward Bruce Bynum, PG 230
The Ifá divination practiced by the Yoruba, which is connected to both Egyptian
and Hebrew mysticism, is a form of Geomancy.

“An ephod (Hebrew ‫ )אֵ פֹוד‬was an artifact and an object to be revered in

ancient Israelite culture, and was closely connected with oracular practices and priestly
ritual… In the book of Exodus and in Leviticus one is described as being created for
the Jewish High Priest to wear as part of his official vestments (Exodus 28:4+, 29:5,
39:2+; Leviticus 8:7).” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephod
“Ifá – The most prestigious form of divination among the Yoruba. A type of geomancy
(Literally earth divination; the oduns of Ifa are marked on a tray which represent the
Earth) that depends on the generation of certain signs (oduns) and the interpretation of
their meaning by means of a corpus of stories. Ifa has 256 oduns and it is said that there
are at least 16 stories attached to each.” – Making the Gods in New York: The Yoruba
Religion in the African American Community, By Mary Cuthrell Curry, PG 183
It is interesting to note that the Bambara/Bamana people, that Joseph Eidelberg
identified as Hebrew Israelites, also practiced a form of geomantic divination.
Although their form of geomancy is different from the Ifá system, it does have the
number 16 in common with the Ifá system. The 16 stories attached to each of the
Ifá oduns could possibly be related to the 16 divination symbols of the Bamana
system.

Ron Eglash, is an American cyberneticist, professor of science and technology

studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and author widely known for his
work in the field of ethnomathematics, also made comparissons between the Ifá
and Bamana divination systems in his book, African Fractals: Modern Computing
and Indigenous Design.
“The Ifa system is what a mathematician would call “stochastic,” that is, it operates by
pure chance. But a closely related divination system, Cedena, has a nonstochastic
element—it is closer to what mathematicians call “deterministic chaos.” – African
Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design, By Ron Eglash, PG 93
Dr. Eglash goes further to state that binary code was developed from the Cedena
divination and that binary code, through Boolean algebra, which ultimately
resulted in the creation of the modern digital computer. During is TED Talks
presentation in 2007 he concluded that all PDAs, Laptops and every digital
circuit in the world started in Africa.

“This myth [of African primitivism] is particularly ironic in the case of information
technologies, given that the binary code appears to have a distinct African
origin (Eglash 1997a). The modern binary code, essential to every digital circuit from
alarm clocks to super-computers, was first introduced by Leibnitz around 1670. Leibniz
had been inspired by the binary-based “logic machine” of Raymond Lull, which was in
turn inspired by the alchemists’ divination practice of geomancy (Skinner 1980). But
geomancy is clearly not of European origin. It was first introduced there by Hugo of
Santalla in twelfth century Spain, and Islamic scholars had been using it in North Africa
since at least the 9th century, where it was first documented in written records by the
Jewish writer Aran ben Joseph. The nearly identical system of divination in West Africa
associated with Ifa and Ifa was first noted by Trautmann (1939), but he assumed that
geomancy originated in Arabic society, where it is known as ilm al-raml (“the science of
sand”).The mathematical basis of geomancy is, however, strikingly out of place in non-
African systems. Unlike Europe, India, and Arabic cultures, base 2 calculation is
ubiquitous in Africa, even for multiplication and division. Doubling is a frequent theme
in many other African knowledge systems, particularly divination. The African origin of
geomancy — and thus, via Lull and Leibnitz, the binary code — is well supported.”
– http://homepages.rpi.edu/~eglash/eglash.dir/ethnic.dir/r4cyb.dir/r4cybh.htm
The base 2 calculation of African divination may also have Israelite origins. Being
that the Bamana and Yoruba (among many other tribes) have been identified as
Hebrew Israelites by respected scholars and historians, it may not be a stretch of
the imagination to surmise that the base 2 calculations of African mathematics,
divination, and the foundation of modern binary code, may have origins with the
Hebrew Israelite High Priests’ Umim & Thumim. The Urim and Thummim were
two stones within the breastplate of the High Priest that were used to consult the
Most High power I AM (Exodus 28:30) who is beyond infinity. The Urim and
Thummim were used to ask binary questions to receive binary answers (yes/no,
hot/cold, left/right, etc.) This system also seems to have been imported to the far
east as well in the form of yin-yang or en-yo.
The close relation between the divinatory systems of the Ifá and Cedena
(Bamana) that Dr. Eglash pointed out most likely stem from them both the
Yoruba and Bamana peoples being related from a common origin. They are both
West Africans who are descendants of Israelites that left Egypt. The forms of
divination based on binary code (yin-yang) and the 16 symbols are reminiscent
of the Urim and Thummim of the Israelite High priest’s breast plate which
consisted of 12 stones aligned within the square of 4 corner points (12+4=16),
but, this is only my personal conjecture. However, as a matter of fact, DNA
evidence also confirms that the Israelites left Egypt and migrated into Western,
Eastern and sub-Saharan African areas.

DNA analysis of the mummy of Pharoah Rameses III declares that he possessed
the E1b1a gene. This gene connects the sub-Saharan (Niger-
Congo/Bantu/Israelite) Africans, also known as Contemporary Equatorial
Africans, to the Ancient Egyptians. The fact that Pharoah Rameses III possessed
the E1b1a gene is very significant because it reveals the association between the
ancient Egyptians and the sub-Saharan Africans who have been identified as the
Israelites.

“There seems to be nothing improbable in these Ethiopians being the tribe of the
Jews—the tribe of Jacob or Israel. I think these Ethiopians did come under Jacob, and
did settle in Goshen, and gave the names of Maturea and Avaris to the city in which they
dwelt.” – Anacalypsis an Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis …,
Volume 1, By Godfrey Higgins, PG 399
“Haremhab was succeeded by another general, Ramesses, who stemmed from
Avaris, the old Hyksos capital, and whose family traced its descent from the Hyksos
kings. Though Ramesses (I) reigned but briefly (ca. 1306-1305), he passed the power to
his son Sethos I and thus became the founder of the Nineteenth Dynasty.” – A History
of Israel, By John Bright, PG 112
The Hyksos rulers were indeed Israelites.
THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE HYKSOS AND ISRAELITES HAS BEEN MADE
BY MANY DIFFERENT SCHOLARS.
“Thanks to the works of Josephus, a Jewish historian of the first century CE, we can put
this altogether. In his work, Flavius Josephus’s Against Apion Book I, we are given an
account of the Hebrews in Egypt by a priest of Egypt named Manetho… The part we are
concerned with is when the Hyksos are mentioned. These are the people, Manetho tells
us, were the Israelites, and Josephus agrees with him.” – The Greatest Story Never
Told, By G. A. Hood, PG 27

“It was John H. Breasted who deciced to read the name without the final sign for kha,
which he took to imply a city. This left him with the city of Zarw (Zaru) the same name
as the fortress. The story of Zaru is therefore that it was an Egyptian frontier fortress
from the time of the Twelfth Dynasty when it was called the Pathes of Horus. It was
later rebuilt by the Hyksos kings with strong walls and became known as Avaris…
When Joseph’s Israelite family came to Egypt, not to allow them into Egypt proper
Amenhotep III gave the city of Zaru to his queen, Tiye, and her Asiatic shepherd
relations. On becoming king after the Amarna rebellion, Horemheb turned the city back
into a prison under the mayorship of Ramses, later to become Ramses I, who
established the Nineteenth Dynasty. It was then that it was rebuilt and received its
biblical name, Pi-Ramses, from its mayor. The city eventually became the northern
residence of the first three kings of the Nineteenth Dynasty, Ramses I, Seti I and Ramses
II, who embellished the name.” – The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt: The Secret Lineage

“According to Exodus 1:11, the Israelites were forced to build the store city of Rameses,
therefore, Ramses II must have been ruling at the time.” – Tyndale Bible
Dictionary, edited by Walter A. Elwell, Philip Wesley Comfort, PG 456
“Jewish scholars attempt to identify the pharaoh of the Bible with either Ramses II or
Ramses III.” – Here Lies the Bible, By Jeffrey Pike, PG 57
Other scholars associate Ramses III with the Judges period of Israelite history
and records the pharaoh fighting with the Israelites. The land of Canaan was also
considered to be a province of Egypt during this time. Whatever the case, outside
of the results of modern DNA research, a strong connection between Pharaoh
Ramses III and the Israelites is already apparent.

“According to the conventional Sothis-based chronology, Pharaoh Ramses III ruled

toward the end of the period of the Israelite Judges.” – Can the Bible Be Trusted?: Old
and New Testament Introduction and Interpretation, By Uuras Saarnivaara, PG 237
“Mc Curdy (Hist. Proph., and the Mon.) places the Exodus in the 20th dynasty, in the
latter part of the reign of Ramses III., or immediately after his reign…The children of
Israel, however, during the reign of Ramses III (1180-1148) may have been wandering
in the desert and taking possession of the country E. of the Jordan. This would allow
about 50 years from their departure from Egypt to their entrance into W. Pal.,
corresponding roughly with the biblical 40 years. This much at least seems certain, that
Pal. Was for many centuries an Egyp. Province, and that the conquests under Joshua
cannot well have begun until the close of the 19th dynasty, and that the conquests under
Joshua cannot well have begun until the close of the 19th dynasty, and probably the close
of the reign of Ramses III.” – Dictionary of the Bible: A-Fests, By James Hastings, PG

“Jacob Israel was not only the eponym and the specific ancestor of Israel, he was also
the patriarch who, according to tradition, led the Israelites into Egypt. Secondly, there is
the archaeological evidence from the fact that by far the highest density of Hyksos
scarabs is to be found in the territory now known as the West Bank, which at the end of
the Bronze Age was the Israelite heartland. It is also interesting to not that the
computation of the chronology of the Book of Judges, mentioned above, gives a date
that is compatible with a mid-16th-century expulsion of the Hyksos. The equation of the
Hyksos and the Israelites is not new.” – Black Athena: The archaeological and
documentary evidence, edited by Martin Bernal, PG 357

History bares witness to the fact that there was strong intermingling between the
Egyptians of Ramses III’s during his reign and the Israelites comprised the
majority of the population. This fact would explain why the haplogroup E gene
would no longer be found in Egypt after the Israelite Exodus. Moreover, the
E1b1a gene is patrilineal which means it is passed from father to son. The Bible
also records that the seed of a man is passed from a father to his children and so
it is the father’s lineage that determines the nation and bloodline the children
belong to—not the mother’s. For this reason the biblical record always lists
lineages from father to son and significant women in the record are almost never
mentioned without also mentioning who their father was.

Therefore, if the sub-Saharan Negro’s share the same patrilineal DNA as the
Pharaoh Rameses, and both the Negroes that left Egypt and Rameses III are
associated with the Hyksos Israelites, then it becomes clear that the sub-Saharan
Negros are actually the people written of in the Holy Bible. The relocation of this
patrilineal gene (Haplogroup E) from Egypt into sub-Saharan Africa supports the
records of the Hebrew Israelites as well as the indigenous traditions of various
West African Negro tribal origins.

“In human genetics, Haplogroup E-V38 is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It

is the phylogenetic term for the series of unique sequence variants on the human Y-
chromosome. It is often found in African males and their descendants and is heritably
passed in lineage from father to son. Geneticists study these variants in populations to
find the evolutionary lineage to a common male human ancestor. It can also be referred
to in phylogenetic nomenclature by names such as E1b1a (although the exact definition
of phylogenetic names can vary over time)… E-V38 has two basal branches, E-M329
and E-M2, the former is almost exclusively found in Ethiopia, while the latter is the
predominant lineage in Western Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, North
Africa and the southern parts of Eastern Africa… Much of the population that carried E-
M2 retreated to southern West Africa with the drying of the Sahara. These later people
migrated from Southeastern Nigeria and Cameroon to Central Africa, East Africa,
and Southern Africa causing or following the Bantu expansion. According to Wood et al.
(2005) and Rosa et al. (2007), such population movements from West Africa changed
the pre-existing population Y chromosomal diversity in Western, Central, Southern and
southern East Africa, replacing the previous haplogroups frequencies in these areas
with the now dominant E1b1a1 lineages.”

“A big expansion of peoples throughout Sub-Saharan Africa occurred after the
introduction of agriculture 5,000 years ago. During the Bantu expansion people
carrying Haplogroup E(not including E1b1b) lineages dispersed across much of Sub-
Saharan Africa from their homeland near the border between Nigeria and
Cameroon. The haplogroup most often associated with this expansion is E1b1a, which
constitutes up to 48% of the African male gene pool. The presence of E1b1a lineages
outside Africa can typically be associated with events that occurred after the Bantu
Expansion, such as the trade in African slaves or the Moorish occupation of Iberia.”

HAPLOTYPE E ALSO FOUND OUTSIDE OF AFRICA IN THE LEVANT AND THE
MEDITERRANEAN AREAS

“Haplogroup E1b1b (formerly known as E3b) represents the last major direct
migration from Africa into Europe… E1b1b lineages are closely linked to the diffusion
of Afroasiatic languages… One might wonder why E1b1b is more common in the
southern Balkans (Greece included) and southern Italy than anywhere in the Middle
East, except in Egypt. What’s more, the dominant form of E1b1b in Southeast Europe is
E-V13, a subclade absent from the Horn of Africa and only present at low frequencies in
North Africa (peaking in Lybia), the Levant and western Anatolia… E-V13 is more
common in Lybia today than anywhere in the Near East, which concords with central
North Africa as being a potential source for the European E-V13 (and other subclades of
M78). In fact, the small presence of E-V13 in the Near East could be better explained by
the extremely long Greek presence in the eastern Mediterranean from the time of
Alexander the Great until the end of the Byzantine domination over the region during
the Middle Ages… There is clearly a radiation from the Greece (where E-V13 makes up
approximately 30% of the paternal lineages) to the East Mediterranean (where the
frequency drops to under 5%)… A strong argument in favour of E1b1b crossing directly
from North Africa to southern Italy is that South Italians have more African admixture
than people in the Balkans, Greece or Anatolia. This is true of the Northwest African
admixture and the East African (Red sea) admixture… In Europe E-M123 is only
observed at frequencies over 2.5% in southern Italy, in the Spanish region Extremadura
(4%), and the Balearic islands of Ibiza and Minorca (average 10%). E-M123 could have
been brought to the Mediterranean coasts of Europe by the Phoenicians, and to
Italy by the Etruscans (from Anatolia). The Romans might have contributed to
spreading it around their empire at low frequencies.”
DISTRIBUTION OF HAPLOGROUP E1B1B IN EUROPE, THE NEAR EAST AND
NORTH AFRICA
HAPLOGROUP E (Y-DNA)
Not only do many old West African traditions and modern historical scholarship
concur, that modern West African populations migrated come from ancient
Egypt, but DNA evidence also seems to indubitably support the previous
perspective. Moreover, it is important to note that the map of Africa showing the
frequency of the E1b1a gene in comparison with the Bantu expansion map
demonstrates that after the expulsion of the Hyksos and the following Exodus of
the Israelites, the presence of E1b1a almost completely leaves Egypt and appears
in Bantu Israelite areas. Although the Bantu Negroes may physically look like the
Hamitic ancient Egyptians or their Hamitic cousins, the Cushite Ethiopians, the
Negroes possess a different bloodline.

“E-V38 has two basal branches, E-M329 and E-M2, the former is almost exclusively
found in Ethiopia, while the latter is the predominant lineage in Western Africa, Central
Africa, Southern Africa, North Africa and the southern parts of Eastern Africa.”

A MAP DEPICTING THE MOVEMENTS OF HUMAN POPULATIONS BEARING
HAPLOGROUP E (M2) MOVEMENT FROM LEVANT INTO AFRICA,
MEDITERRANEAN AND CENTRAL ASIA
“E1b1a. M2 – E1b1a (M2) is prevalent throughout Africa, except in North Africa. It
peaks in West Africa and is associated with the spread of agriculture or new farming
methods by the Bantu to Sub-Saharan and Equatorial Africa regions, where it especially
prevalent. The Bantu migration and dispersal of E1b1a (M2) appears to have reached as
far as South Africa… A barrier of the Cushitic language and culture in Northeast Africa
has been proposed to explain the limited introgression of the Bantu E1b1a/M2
subclade in these northern regions. Nevertheless, the spread of the Bantu is fairly
extensive and their linguistic family (Niger-Congo) is the most widely dispersed
language family in Africa, supporting the Y-chromosome evidence for the spread of the
Bantu people through wide portions of Africa and providing a strong example of
correlation between language and phylogeny in Africa. On the other hand, the
widespread distribution of Bantu and the E1b1a/M2 subclade, is responsible for a
reduced geographic structure or the correlation between Y-chromosome phylogeny
and a specific geographic location, thus acting to somewhat homogenize the
populations.
The E1b1a/M2 subclade in Oman may be due to recent slave trade with Africa, but
since M2 is highest in the West (e.g. Senegal) and drops off significantly to the North
and East, it has been speculated that these slaves must have come from a fairly far
distance in Central or West Africa.
E1b1a/M2 is also the most common Y haplogroup in African Americans (50-75%), a
result of slave trade from Sub-Saharan Africa. In South America, the estimates are ~8%
for the M2 subclade. Subclades of E1b1a (defined by SNPs U181, M291, U174, U290,
U175) have been examined only in African and European American populations, where
they are present in the former and absent in the latter. U174 or E1b1a7a is the most
prevalent at about 24% of African Americans.”

“Branch: M191 The E1b1a7 (M191) subclade is closely associated with the
phylogeography of the precursor E1b1a (M2) and the Bantu population that is
responsible for its dissemination. It has a frequency peak (15-45%) in a belt through
Sub-Saharan and Equatorial Africa. Modest amounts have been detected in the Arabian
Peninsula (3-6%). It is also represented by the high frequency of its descendants, e.g.
subclade E1b1a7a (U174) in African Americans.”

Beyond these previously mentioned facts, we also notice that the great
architecture, sciences and the pagan religion of Egypt, dwindled in excellence
after the Israelite Exodus (removal of E1b1a/E-M2 dna) and soon after,
completely lost the greatness it once maintained.

In fact, so important were the Israelites and their bloodline to the greatness of
Egypt that the wizards of Egypt sought to hide Joseph’s body from the Israelites
after his death fearing the results of an Egyptian prophesy. The prophecy stated
that if Joseph’s bones should ever leave the land of Egypt then Egypt would be
doomed and it’s land filled with darkness. I believe this prophesy was in
reference to the departure of the Israelites from Egypt during the Exodus since it
was Moses who fulfilled this prophecy when he took the bones of Joseph with
him as he and the Israelites left Egypt.

“… And they [the Israelites] took them up secretly during a war of the Egyptians. For the
bones of Joseph the Egyptians guarded in the tombs of the kings. For the sorcerers told
them, that on the departure of the bones of Joseph there should be throughout all the
land darkness and gloom, and an exceeding great plague to the Egyptians, so that even
with a lamp a man should not recognize his brother… And they were in Egypt until the
day of their departure by the hand of Moses.” – Testament of Simeon 3:14-15, 17
“And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of
Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with
you.” – Exodus 13:19
The darkness that the Egyptian sorcerers claimed would befall Egypt seems to be
the result of the loss of the light or wisdom possessed by the Israelites. Again, the
greatness of Egypt ceased after the Israelites left the land but that same
greatness can be found in all the places the Israelites migrated to after they left
Egypt.

“Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he
stumbleth, because there is no light in him.” – John 11:8-9
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men
light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:14-16
Now, that it has been established that the Bantu are Israelites who left Egypt we
can now begin to make connections between the Bantu, their expansion and the
wisdom they possessed (mixture of Egyptian and Israelite traditions) and
introduced around the globe.

Before leaving off from setting the foundation of associating the Bantu sub-
Saharan Africans with the Israelites, we must address the early east African
Bantus as well—the Zanji. We have already briefly discussed the early arrival of
Bantu Israelites in Africa as a result of Israelite migrations taking place around
the time of the Exodus (1500 BC). However, the next noteworthy influx of
Israelites into Africa occurred around the time of the Assyrian Captivity of the
Northern Kingdom of Israel (740 BC). The subsequent migrations of Israelites in
to Africa and other foreign lands around the world would occur as a result of all
the following captivities of the Israelites as prophesied by Daniel in
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The movements of Israelite populations during the
captivities of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Babylonian, Persian, Grecian & Roman)
will be covered in separate blog’s. Again, let us close with a brief review of
Israelite historical presence in the East African Negroland—Al Zanj (the land of
the Negroes/Zanji).

An Israelite historian helps provide critical information concerning the early East
African Zanji Bantu Israelite presence.

“According to 9th-century Jewish traveler Eldad ben-Mahli (Eldad the Danite), the Ibo
Benei-Yisrael may be descendants of members of several of the “Lost Tribes of Israel.”
He contended that the Jews of Africa came from the tribes
of Dan, Naphtali, Gad and Asher, who had fled the Land of Israel so as not to participate
in the civil war between Judah and Israel during the time of Jereboam’s succession and
reign over the Northern Kingdom (922-901BCE or 931-910 BCE). Eldad contended that
these Jews originally settled in Havilah, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia. With them, they
had a copy of the Tanach, less the books of Esther and Lamentations. These Jews had no
knowledge of the Mishna or Babylonian Talmud…”

BOOK COVER SHOWING THE MIGRATION OF ISRAEL INTO EAST AFRICA (ZANJ).
“According to the story related by Eldad the Danite, who had it told to him by his
ancestors, who in turn were told about it by their ancestors from generation to
generation, back to those fateful days, the Ten Tribes were not lost at all. Eldad the
Danite related that his own tribe, the Danites, did not wait to be exiled. When the
Assyrian empire grew strong and mighty, they saw that there was no hope for them to
remain free. Moreover, the Kingdom of the Ten Tribes was at war with the Kingdom of
Judah, and the Danites did not want to fight against their own brethren. So they decided
to leave the Land of Israel and find a safe place for themselves. It was in the eighth year
of the reign of Ahaz of Judah, that is, in the year 3191 (fourteen years before the fall of
Samaria) that the Danites took their wives and children, their sheep and cattle, and left
the Land of Israel. They went by way of Egypt further down the upper Nile River and
settled in Ethiopia, in the land of the negroes of East Africa. The Danites were great
warriors, and after fighting many battles against native black tribes, they established
themselves securely, with a kingdom of their own.
Later on, after the Destruction of the Beth-Hamikdosh, three more tribes joined the
tribe of Dan, Eldad related they were the tribes of Naftali, Gad and Asher. The four
tribes lived side by side in peace and brotherhood. The region where they lived was a
fertile one. The only trouble was that the surrounding black tribes were unfriendly. The
four tribes had to fight them constantly. So each tribe went to war for three months in
the year, coming back with much spoil and with many slaves, which they divided among
all the tribes. Their elders and scholars received a greater share of the produce and
riches, so that they could study the Torah in peace and security.
Yes, Eldad related, they are in possession of the Torah. They have the Five Books of
Moses and most of the Books of the Prophets. But they did not have the Book of Esther,
nor did they know anything about the festival of Purim, because the miracle of Purim
happened many years after the Destruction of the Beth-Hamikdosh, and these four
tribes were not in Persia at that time.
Being separated from the rest of the Jewish people, the four tribes did not know about
the great Jewish Sages, the Tanaim and Amoraim, the authors of the Mishnah and the
Gemara, and they were not in possession of the Talmud. But they observed all the laws
of the Torah and the traditions. As they were taught by their elders and scholars, who in
turn received traditions from their ancestors, from generation to generation, back to
Joshua and Moses. Indeed, they were always taught by their elders: “These are the
words of Joshua, who received the Torah from Moses, who received the Torah from G-
d.” Eldad the Danite spoke only Hebrew, and he said that all the Jews of his tribe, as well
as the other three tribes spoke only the Holy Tongue.”

“An additional theory states that North African Jews traded and
traveled within the West African Kingdoms of Mali, Songhai and Kanem-Bornu. Jews are
believed to have been a prominent demographic in these empires. It is even thought
that several rulers of the Songhai empire had Jewish roots. It appears however that
Judaism in the West African empires came to an abrupt end when Askia Muhammad
came to power and in 1492, ordered that all Jews convert to Islam of face expulsion.
THIS MAP SHOWS THE SAHEL CORRIDOR THROUGH CHAD INTO MALI THE PATH THE
HEBREW COMMUNITIES TOOK FROM EAST AFRICA.
 Another theory maintains that Jews traveling
with trade caravans from Northeast Africa moved through West Africa. According to
certain accounts, such as Travels in North Africa by Nahum Slouschz, Jewish identity can
be found in North Africa since the founding of Carthage, specifically, descendants of the
tribes of Zevulun and Asher. Persecution and trade have been the major influencing
factors in how the Jews migrated through Africa. During periods of Islamic persecution
and for the purposes of trade, Jews moved from communities
in Egypt, Ethiopia, Tunisia and Morocco to more remote regions of North and West
Africa.

The decline of the Jewish communities of West Africa can be traced to the arrival of
Muslim invaders in the 14th and 15th centuries. North and West African Jews banded
with other local communities of Berbers, Christians and Greeks to ward of the invaders,
but eventually succumbed. Many were forced to convert to Islam, sold into slavery or
simply massacred. In the face of this persecution written traditions, such as the Torah,
were lost. The Ibo Benei-Yisrael, though having no written evidence of their Jewish
heritage, maintained a strong oral tradition and practiced many Jewish customs in
secret. Records of these medieval Jewish communities, found in the Timbuktu, Mali
Islamic Library, indicate the presence of Jewish families in the region before the arrival
of Islam in the 1300’s CE.”
– http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Nigeria.html
The Ibo in fact, because they continued to practice the religion and customs of
their Israelite ancestors in secret, eventually became marginalized and despised
by many surround tribes.
The Ibo maintained knowledge of their ancient traditions and have even been
identified as Israelites by modern politicians.

HENRY KISSINGER: NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 1973

“In a White House memo dated Tuesday, January 28, 1969 to President Nixon, former
Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger describes the Igbos as “the wandering Jews of West
Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised
by their neighbours in the federation” (foreign relations documents, volume E-5,
documents on Africa 1969-1972)… Israel Today originally reported in 2006 how Chief
Rabbinate recognized the Igbos as sons of Israel descended from Gad. And indeed, there
is an Igbo-Gad community in Tel Aviv Israel who have their own synagogue. Haaretz
magazine in Oct, 12, 2005 article declared the Igbos to be sons of Israel through Gad.
Prof. Elisabeth Isichei an Australian historian and Melville Merrskovits, an American
writer, all strongly believe there is enough evidence to link the Igbos of Nigeia to the
Israeli tribe of Gad. Among Igbo authorities, Prof. O. Alezi and Remy Ilona also believe
without a doubt that the Igbos are descendants of Gad… In 1789 Olauda Equiano, an
Igbo and former slave who lived in London said in his autobiography that the Igbos
were of the lost tribes of Israel and cited the many identical cultural similarities
between them and the Jews.” – God’s Love Prevails, By Evangeline Ngozichukwu, PG

Although we were suppose to conclude with a brief overview of East African
Israelite presences, there are two further quotes that I would like to add. The
last two quotes will bring us back to southwest Africa where we can identify the
Congo, one of the original areas of the Bantu expansion, as being an area densely
populated with Israelites.
JEWS, RACE AND ENVIRONMENT, BY MAURICE FISHBERG, PG 149

“The Kingdom of Loango, also known as the Kingdom of Lwããgu, was a pre-colonial
African state from approximately the 15th to the 19th century in what is now the
Republic of the Congo… Loango exported considerable copper to the European market,
and was a major producer and exporter of cloth.” – Kingdom of Loango, Wikipedia
“A fact worthy the attention of travelers is, that, according to Oldendorp, The kingdom
of Loango contains black Jews, scattered throughout the country ; they are despised by
the Negroes who do not even deign to eat with them ; they are occupied in trade, and
keep the sabbath so strictly that they do not even converse on that day; they have a
separate burying ground, very far from any habitation. The tombs are constructed with
masonry, and ornamented with Hebrew inscriptions… M. Ehr mann, finding it
impossible to explain the origin of these Jews, doubts the reality of the fact; Busching,
however, Michaelis, and Zimmermann, do not hesitate to admit their existence; Bruns
considers them as descendants of the Falashes of Habesh, or Abyssinia; and Sprengel
wishes them to be considered as the descendants of Portuguese Jews, who, having
quitted their country, are no longer afraid to profess openly the religion of their
fathers.” – A system of universal geography: or A description of all the parts of the
world, By Conrad Malte-Brun, Jean-Jacques-Nicolas Huot, PG 101

FLAG OF LOANGO
The flag of the Kingdom of Loango seems to be symbolic of the hand of Christ as
described in Revelations

“And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a
sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his
strength… The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the
seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the
seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.” – Revelations 1:16, 20
“The modern flag of the Kingdom of Loango has a light blue field in the centre of which
is a open hand containing seven yellow stars in the palm.
The historical seven provinces are represented on the kingdom’s coat of arms by a hand
palm holding seven stars (“Li kande likoko li simbe mbote sambwali“, the hand palm
holds seven stars). The stars have also an esoteric meaning linked to the power: the
Royal hand rules the seven provinces, each of them representing a vital organ of the
sovereign:
– two stars represent the two eyes of the sovereign, who is constantly watching his
people;
– two stars represent the two ears of the sovereign, who is paying attention to the
requests of his councillors and of his people;
– two stars represent the two nostrils of the sovereign, who is very concerned by the
problems of his people. Powered with a very subtle sixth sense, the sovereign is able to
establish a link between the present and the future;
– a figure [I guess, a star] represents the mouth of the sovereign, used to educate the
people and deliver an impartial justice.” – Kingdom of Loango Flag, CRWFlags.com

It should now be somewhat more apparent that Israelites are scattered

throughout all parts of Africa. Just because someone lives in Africa does not make
them a Hamite and it would appear that the majority of Africa is populated by
descendants of Hebrew Israelites. Now that we have established this fact, we can
explore history further to see the contributions these Israelites have made
around the world. Music, medicine, and many other modern technologies can be
credited to these people. The same people who made Egypt great exported that
same greatness in all the places they travelled. Above all, this information
confirms the truth of the biblical record and affirms the truth of the God who
directed its composition. The Bantu Africans and the related groups are indeed
Israelites.
Black Buddha & The Israelite Buddhists

In this article, we will identify the Buddha and early Buddhist as descendants of
Hebrew Israelites.

It is not the intention of the information

presented to encourage or promote the practice of the buddhist religion, as it is
extremely pagan. However, an understanding of the history of the originators of
Buddhism will help us to better understand the historical Israelite presence and
influence in the Far East.
HOW DO WE KNOW BUDDHA AND BUDDHIST WERE ISRAELITES?
Perhaps unknown to the majority of people, the original Buddha and Buddhists
were descendants of the Hebrew Israelites. Despite the many extreme pagan
elements of the Buddhists faith, it remains a fact that it was a religion developed
by Hebrew Israelite descendants who had migrated all over the world. A brief
review of Israelite history will help us to better understand how there could
possibly exist any connection between the ancient Israelites and the pagan
Buddhists of the East. I assure you that after a brief overview of the post-
Assyrian-captivity history, with the use of some visual aids and maps, it will be
very clear to see that the early Buddha and Buddhists were indeed Hebrew
Israelites (although pagan/gentile in spirituality).
“Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk,

“They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and
I will cause you to dwell in this place.” – Jeremiah 7:3

The majority of the Israelite Buddhists were the product of the Northern
Kingdom of Israel’s betrayal of the worship of the true God, I AM (Exodus 3:13-
15, Ezra 9:7). As a result of their adoption of the worship of new gods, as
introduced to the Israelites by King Solomon and the nations of his gentile wives,
the Northern Kingdom of Israel was removed from their homeland, (“the
sight/focus” of the Most High God,) by the ancient Assyrian nation around 721
BC.

“For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they
departed not from them. Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said
by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to
Assyria unto this day.” – 2 Kings 17:22-23
“In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away
into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the
cities of the Medes.” – 2 Kings 17:6
“And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of
Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the
Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and
Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.” – 1 Chronicles 5:26
“And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not.
And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.” – Jeremiah 3:7
“And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel,
and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said,
My name shall be there.” – 2 Kings 23:27
“And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of
their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies” – 2 Kings
21:14
Since both the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah decided to worship the gods of other
nations, the Most High God allowed the Assyrians to conquer the Israelites and
take them captive in the territories under Assyrian and Persian control. There,
the Israelites could continue to worship the lesser gods of the other nations
instead of doing it in the Holy Land.

Interestingly enough, the same paganism practiced by the Israelites in their

homeland, was continued in the lands of their captivity. The Israelites who were
deported into Assyria and Persia/Media, were still worshipping the Sun-god,
Baal, that they began worshipping in Egypt and Israel.

“And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the
spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of
God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where
was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy… Then he brought
me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and, behold,
there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son
of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he
brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and, behold, at the door of the
temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty
men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east;
and they worshipped the sun toward the east.” – Ezekiel 8:3, 14-16
The Zoroastrianism of ancient Media/Persia is rooted in Sun/Fire worship. The
Israelites in Iran became known as the Saka/Sakai/Sakasuni (son’s of Isaac) and
as they passed through the country into India, they introduced these same
Persian worships into India. Sakyamuni (Sage of the Saka/Scythian clan) is the
individual credited with the introduction of the blend of Scythian and
Zoroastrian mystical beliefs to India. He was called the Buddha, and his religion,
Buddhism. Buddhism seems to have been heavily influenced by Zoroastrianism:

After living amongst the Assyrians and Persians for many generations after being
removed from their homeland, the Israelites became very accustomed to these
Pagan worships; the same paganism that caused them to be removed from the
Holy land.
“Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations than these…”

“And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord‘s house, and, behold, at the door of
the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty
men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east;
and they worshipped the sun toward the east…
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house
of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have
filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they
put the branch to their nose.” – Ezekiel 8:15-17
Those Israelites living in the Persian Empire, later, influenced parts of India, the
home of Buddha and Buddhism. Moreover, the history of the Israelites, in relation
to the Scythians, seems to bring us to the conclusion that the Buddha himself was
also an Israelite.
“The Israelites were scattered and settled in five different areas throughout the
Assyrian Empire and maybe even more. However, our focus will be the areas further to
the east where some of the tribes of Israel were sent such as Hara and the possible
vassal states to Assyria, which were Magan and Meluhha. These areas just mentioned
were located in Aria/Hara and in the Indus valley or in India itself. Now from these
areas emerged a people known as the Saka or Scythians. These various Saka/Scythian
tribes were none other then the exiles or the descendents of the exiles from the
northern Kingdom of Israel. The name Saka is a form of the name Isaac for the
consonants S-C or S-K and we must understand that in Hebrew no vowels were
listed. These various Saka/Scythian tribes eventually migrated to the east entering into
what is today the nation of India particular the northwestern part of India. However,
some seem to have penetrated and settled in what is today the nation of Nepal, and this
is where are investigation begins on origins of the one called Buddha.” – Was Buddha an
Israelite?, By Cam Rea
However, how can we be sure that the Buddha himself was indeed a descendant
of the Scythians and Israelites?

“To return, however, to the history of Buddha we find among the Brahmins an
acknowledgement of his divinity as an avatar, or incarnation of divine wisdom; and a
history of his as such. In the first place, Buddha was a Negro—or rather he was what we
should now call a Negro if we saw him. His statues in the oldest temples of Asia are
black as jet, with the flat face, thick lips, and curly hair of the negro; in some cases the
stone is black, in others, which is more to the purpose, it has been blackened, and that
this is not the effect of accident is pretty evident from his teeth and the whites of his
eyes being white and his lips red. Buddha has many different names, sixteen altogether;
three of the chief ones are Buddha, Gautama, Saman.” – The Eagle, Volume 7, PG 147

KING JAMES ENGLAND AND ASIA KNEW BUDDAH WAS BLACKAMORE CALLED
SHAKA

“In 1683, an English visitor to Japan, Christopher Fryke, wrote that Japanese aesthetics
were ‘directly opposite to ours, taking Black to be the Livery of Mirth and Pleasantness,
an White of Grief and Mourning.’ Indeed, some Japanese representations portrayed the
Buddha as both black and African. Describing the image of Sakyamuni Buddha in a
letter to King James, merchant Richard Cocks wrote in 1616: ‘[I]n a littell Closet or
Cubbard, was a negro or a blackamore’s image, wch they tould me was the Idoll of
Shacka [Shaka; the Buddha], the Cheefe god the[y] Adore …” (cited in Leupp 1995: 4).
This association of black Africans with the Buddha lasted well into the nineteenth
century, though by then some Japanese had begun to doubt the wisdom of venerating
the representative of an inferior people.” – Japan’s Minorities: The Illusion of
Homogeneity, edited by Michael Weine, PG 91-92
Another clear indication that the Buddha was Negro, besides these previous
quotes, is from the fact that one of Buddhas names was Sambo.

Sambo, the black racist stereotype, is actually the image of the black Buddha and
many other eastern black gods. The black face and red lips of Sambo confirm his
Negro origin.

Whether Sambo/Buddha is identified as a Scythian or Dravidian is irrelevant in

reference to his bloodline connection to the Israelites. Both Scythians and
Dravidians are descendants of the biblical Israelites. They existed as different
branches of the same Israelite families, migrating into foreign lands at different
times. These separate branches ended up meeting each other again, many
generations later, in India. However, the name Shakyamuni, another name for
Buddha, points toward a Scythian origin for the Negro Buddha. Shakyamuni is a
compound word from shakya, meaning shaka/saka/sacae or Scythian, and muni,
meaning Sage/mystic or adept. Thus, Shakyamuni, the Negro Buddha Sambo, was
known as the Sage/Mystic of the Scythians/Shakya clan.

“The culture of the black Dravidians underlies the whole culture of India, whose

“It is certain that the Black Buddha of India was imaged in the Negroid type. In the black
Negro God, whether called Buddha or Sut-Nahsi we have a datum. They carry their
color in the proof of their origin. The people who first fashioned and worshipped the
divine image in the Negroid mould of humanity must, according to all knowledge of
human nature, have been Negroes themselves. For blackness is not merely mystical, the
features and hair of Buddha belong to the black race and Nahsi is the Negro name.”

Buddha, also known as Siddhārtha Gautama, Shakyamuni, or simply the Buddha, was a
sage on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. He is believed to have lived and
taught mostly in eastern India sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries
BCE. The word Buddha means “awakened one” or “the enlightened one”. “Buddha” is

birthplace in Bengal and the supposed home of his race in Central Asia. It is inferred
from them that a branch of the Scythian hordes who overran western Asia about 625
B.C. made its way to Patala on the Indus, the site selected by Alexander in 325 B.C. for
his headquarters in that delta, and still the capital of Sind under the name of Hyderabad.
One portion of these Patala Scythians went westwards by the Persian Gulf to
Assyria; another section eventually moved north-east into the Gangetic valley, and
became the Sákyas of Kapilavastu, among whom Buddha was born” – 1902

“We must also remember that Solomon, an incarnation of wisdom, is closely connected
withthe wisdom of the Buddhists… Thus we have the mount or house or habitation of
Solomon or Solyma in India, or the country of Ioud, or of Daud-poutri, or of the sons of
David; in Persia, the Madré Solyma, and the same also in Palestine and in Asia
Minor; and all, in some way or other, connected with the tribe of Ioudi. Can any one
believe all this to be the effect of accident? Solomon was the personification or
incarnation of wisdom, and the Jews of Asia Minor were a tribe or colony from India, of
black Buddhists, at or about the same time with the Ioudi to Syria, under the Brahmin.”

MARKING SOME OF THE KNOWN ISRAELITE POPULATIONS FOUND FROM
PALESTINE TO CHINA (THE FAR EAST)
The Parthian Empire was a Persian kingdom in the Northeast of Iran. Persia is
known to have a history of Negroid Dynastic rulers whose appearance in Persia
is said to have corresponded with the arrival and conquest of the Scythians.
Again, it should be remembered that the Scythians were Israelites. These
Israelites later travelled into India, founding many different lineages. One of
these lineages brought us Shakyamuni Buddha; the pagan Israelite Sambo. The
Israelite Buddhists who helps translate and spread Buddhism are one of the
many ways that Israelites arrived in the Far East. For more understanding on the
Israelite presence in the Far East be sure to read the following related topics:
THE ACADEMIA OF THE WORLD KNOW WHO THE HISTORIC BUDDHA AND

The video above identifies the Native Americans and related peoples of North,
Central and South America (and the Caribbean Islands) as the descendants
of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel, according to both Biblical and secular
historical accounts. Various scriptures and extra-biblical sources are quote
from toward the latter half of the video. The video follows the Northern
Kingdom of Israel after the Assyrian captivity. More specifically, it follows the
“peaceable multitude” branch of the Israelites that separated themselves
from the massive horde of pagan warlike nomads; the Scythians. The file was
corrupted while being edited and uploaded so some of the audio/video are out
of sync. Despite the flaws, the message should be clearly understood. Video
begins at 10 seconds. Although the identification of the Native Americans as
the bloodline descendants of the Lost tribes of Israel may be new information
to some of us, this fact was known and published in times past by many
respected sources.
Some of these many sources can be found at the Brown University John
Carter Library online (CLICK HERE)
CLICK HERE
More evidence in support of this fact can even be found on PBS’s Nova
Online article, titled, Where are the Ten Lost Tribes?:

“In the early 16th century, Bartholeme de Las Casas became the champion of the Native
American Indians, devoting his lifetime to improving the conditions—in the West Indies,
Peru and Guatemala. Las Casas wrote: “These Indians can bring near the redemption. If
we treat them humanely in this world and convert them to Christianity, we are preparing
for the redemption of the Western world in the messianic era. Their conversion is apt
indeed, as I am convinced the Indians originate in Ancient Israel. Indeed, I can bring
proofs from the Bible that they are of the Lost Tribes.” The association of the Indians with
the Lost Tribes was heard again and again. The report by Portuguese traveler Antonio
Montezinos some 120 years later aroused remarkable interest. “It was a thrilling journey I
took in South America. Now that I am back in Amsterdam, I must share with you some
incredible news. There is a Jewish Indian tribe living beyond the mountain passes of the
Andes. Indeed, I myself heard them recite the She’ma (the expression of the Jewish faith)
and saw them observe the Jewish rituals.” Christian theologians awaiting the Second
Coming were thrilled to receive this welcome news. For tradition held that when the Ten
Tribes were found, reunited and restored to the Holy Land, the messianic age was close at
hand.” – PBS NOVA Online, Where are the Ten Lost Tribes?
Here are some further quotes to support the assertion that the Native
Americans are indeed the descendants of the ‘Lost Tribes of Israel’. This fact
was obviously known by many and therefore it is by no means a new or
radical idea.

“The three great classes of the aboriginal Americans, first and best known among them,
bore these great and substantial marks their forefathers in the land of Canaan had been
distinctly known: for their leanings towards Idolatry and some especial features of it,
which I shall have occasion to point out, are too plainly described in the scripture history
to leave us in any doubt; while they still professed, in a defective manner, their belief in the
One True God: and probably their residence in Media of some continuance, and how long
we are not able with certainty to say, little tended to lessen the disposition they had
always manifested to Idolatry, with it hateful and iniquitous customs… And it will further
be shewn, that although the Indians have great and striking varieties in their
language, yet all of them bear strong marks of being derived from one root.” – A View of
the American Indians, by Israel Worsley, ix-x
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into

“The American tribes, of whom I am about to treat, have a general character peculiar to
themselves, yet they differ in some striking particulars one from another. Their general
resemblance has been observed by many persons, who independently of each other, have
visited distant parts of that vast contient. There has been found a great likeness
throughout, together with lines of difference, similar to those which are seen in the
societies that possess the lands of the old hemisphere… Although there are spread over a
country which bears a near proportion to the Eastern Continent, and stretches as wide
from North to South, into the frigid and over the torrid zone, still a great resemblance is
discovered among them, they have all the appearance of being descended from one stock…
I shall produce much more than mere conjecture, many circumstances which amount to a
strong presumptive proof, and an abundance of corroborating facts, those minor points of
similitude will be regarded in their proper light, and be allowed to throw in their mite of
evidence in support of the interesting fact, that – The immense population with which the
continent of America was found to be inhabited on its first discovery, were the direct lineal
descendants of the nine tribes and a half, or a large part of them, that were carried
captive by the Assyrian King, and since their banishment from their own country have
been lost to their brethren the Jews and to all the historians of latter times. But can they
be altogether lost, or can they be intermingled among the new tribes that have been
formed and the new kingdoms that have sprung up? They constituted a large portion of
the chosen people of God; concerning whom so many prophecies stand recorded in the
holy books, for whom so many striking interferences took place under the direct agency of
the Almighty; for the express purpose of separating them from the idolatrous nations, of
keeping them a distinct and peculiar people, of making them bear his name to the ends of
the earth and spread his glory among the nations. Can they then be lost, destroyed, rooted
out from the habitations of men? Or can they be so amalgamated with those Idolaters who
conquered them, or with those people with whom they have since dwelt, as to be no more
known a separate people, as to have lost their identity, and be no where to be found in the
day to which the language of prophecy directs our attention, when those who have been
dispersed among the nations, and those who have been CAST OUT, shall alike be called by
the special voice of God to return…” – A View of the American Indians, by Israel
Worsley, PG 3-9

you can even hear the Amerindian in the background chanting, “Hey Ahayah,
Hey Ahayah”. Some of the American Indians were apparently still aware of the
name that the Most High God gave to Moses (Exodus 3:13-15) on Mount
Sinai.

The Native Americans are definitely Israelites.

Some branches of the family travelled long distances across seas into the
New World (Western Hemisphere) while other family branches remained
wandering in the old world (Eastern Hemisphere). Thus, the Native
Americans, who we understand to be lineal descendants of the Israelite tribes
have distant relatives in the old world who are now known by many different
names.
 “Straddling the boundaries between Afghanistan, Pakistan and
Kashmir lives the world’s largest tribal grouping—the Pathans. All of the 15million
Pathans, who comprise some 60 tribes, claim descent from Kish, an ancestor of the Biblical
King Saul. Many of them also claim to be them children of the Lost Israelites. The Pathans
perform circumcision of the eighth day, wear a fringed garment similar to the Jewish
tzizit, light candles on Friday nights and observe food taboos similar to the laws of
Kashrut. In South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, tens of thousands of blacks have, in
recent years, declared themselves descendants of one of the Lost Tribes. The Lemba claim
to have been cut off from mainstream Judaism hundreds of years ago. They are well-
versed in the Old Testament and avoid marriage outside their community. From every
imaginable corner of the world theories arise linking different peoples and tribes with the
Ten Lost Tribes: the Crimea, the Caucasus, Kenya, Nigeria, Armenia, Persia, Central Asia,
North Siberia, West Africa, Peru, South America, Australia, Ireland. While the evidence
may at times seem flimsy, the Jewish elements in these tribal cultures continue to fascinate
scholar and layman alike.” – PBS NOVA Online, Where are the Ten Lost Tribes?

It is very interesting to note the many similarities between Iran and Mexico
especially since we can identify the modern day Mexicans as the Israelite tribe
of Issachar. According to the biblical record, tribes of Issachar were placed in
the cities of the Medes (2 Kings 17:6 & 2 Kings 18:11) after the Assyrian
captivity. Current research confirms the biblical record and people who can
trace their descent to Issachar can still be found in Iran. Perhaps there is more
that just coincidence to explain the many similarities between Iran and
Mexico, including the colors of their national flags.
“So where do we find Issachar in Scythia? “The Sagartii (Asakarta) were first
reported of in the Zagros mountains of west Iran and were part of the Tribe of
Issachar which tradition associated with that area. A similar group, the
SAGARUCE, was recorded by Ptolemy on the east Caspian Sea shore and
they have been equated with the Sakaraukae (or Saraukae)…In Carmania
were the Isatichae ” – (Davidy, The Tribes, pp.57-58)
By the way, it must be noted that the Amerind descendants of the ‘Lost Tribes’
of Israel wore the Mitre turban in the New World. This can be deemed as
further evidence of their eastern origins and escape from the Assyrian and
Median Empires.

of Israel took council and escaped into the Americas by way of the Euphrates,
however, the majority of the other, non-peaceble descendants of the tribes of
Northern Israel, remained in the Assyrian and Persian region after the
captivity. This group of Israelites became know as the Scythians—and
extremely warlike people.
