Israelites Named Cushi May have Been “unusually dark-skinned”

One For All0 CommentsCommentaries, Historical References2008, African, Brown, East, Eerdmans Publishing Company, Ethiopians, Israelites, Skin

Source: Introduction to the Prophets (Eerdmans Publishing Company) 2008 A.D. Note: Page 308 of the source. This source confirms yet again that one can make a simple inference that Israelites named Cushi were extremely dark skinned individuals. This source confirms a "dark colorization" that ancient Israelites operated on because they could only produce individuals who physically resembled Ethiopians if a fair number of them were already some shade of brown skin which various different peoples of African, near east, and Indus descent have.

The Touat, the region at the limit of the Sahara in western Algeria, was, up to 1492, inhabited by Jews involved in trans-Saharan trade. At that time, Sheikh Abd…

Africa Potentially Gained its Name from a “Mythical” Figure From Yemen

One For All0 CommentsCommentaries, Historical References2008, Abraham, Africa, Charles Scribner’s Sons (Thomson Gale)

Source: New Encyclopedia of Africa, Volume 1: 'Abd al-Qādir–Cummings-John (Charles Scribner's Sons (Thomson Gale)) 2008 A.D. Note: Page 9 of the source. This source brings up several theories regarding the name of Africa, but the notion that Africa is named after a descendant of Abraham or an individual who came from Yemen stand out. I do believe the Afar people are indeed related to Abraham and/or ancient near eastern peoples because they state their ancestor came from Yemen.
