The colorful art work depicted in tombs, on pyramids and in hieroglyphics should be an accurate indicator of the color of the people who are the subject of such illustrations. Are there any artifacts that actually show people with black skin? All visual records seem to be of people with a neutral skin shade like King Tut's. (Oil paintings by latter day artists don't count.)
To me, the bible has always been a case of who is doing the interpretation of the lore and legend being hyped by priests or translated by drunk monks. And, apparently, even waaay back then the deepness of skin tone was associated with being cursed, so colorism has always been a factor that inspired prejudice.
BTW, has any one ever determined what "god" looks like? There's a rumor going around that she's black. 👩🏽
I will stand corrected on any of the observations I expressed here because I'm definitely not a student of the bible. which I've never believed to be divine in origin; more like an ancient almanac. 😜
