There are countless. Lest you forget ... it was Israelites that were enslaved by the most powerful man on the planet at that time ... the Pharoah ...
for over 4 and 1/2 centuries.

How many pyramids can you build, Seeker, that will last for millenia?
Your lens is so filthied by racism and bias for you to even acknowledge facts.

Sir, you can visit the testaments of Egyptian culture are at your local library and museums ... take the time to get educated.

This has nothing to do with the allegation that Black Africans were Israelites. Egyptians were not Black Africans, you find those in sub-Saharan equatorial Africa.

Try again.

They didn't build them ... they designed them ... and had there slaves build them ... some who were black and white.

Yes I do...the name of the link would have given it away though had I not.

But, *WHERE* is the evidence for a culturally advanced Black race during the time of the Israelites?

I missed your links. Why not just summarize it in two or three sentences for me?

iron smelting, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, architecture, sailing....do your own research, lack of historical evidence because they didn't have gunpowder.

"The first verifiable kingdom of great power to rise in Ethiopia was that of Axum in the first century AD. It was one of many successor kingdoms to Dʿmt and was able to unite the northern Ethiopian plateau beginning around the first century BC. They established bases on the northern highlands of the Ethiopian Plateau and from there expanded southward. The Persian religious figure Mani listed Axum with Rome, Persia, and China as one of the four great powers of his time."

Axum is Ethiopia. Case closed?

Besides the fact they are the Cushites ... or literally "black ones or burnt" ...

Cush who fathered Nimrod. ... of the line of Ham ... at least biblically.
