In ancient times the middle east was refferred to as Northeast Africa. Everyone knows the first man and woman were Africans. How can Europeans call their ancestors Africans? When Hebrews, Egyptians and other ancient African empires were reading, writing and building structures...Europeans were still in caves. That is a historical fact. How did Europeans get the point where they converted to Hebrewism and came to dominate Northeast Africa?

You asked, "What empire did the European jews come from and how did they come to convert to Hebrewism?" Not every civilization was an empire. In fact, very few civilizations have been. The Jews did not come from an empire. Indeed, they were enslaved by many other societies.
"In ancient times the middle east was refferred to as Northeast Africa." This is not only untrue, it is the OPPOSITE of true: Northern Africa (Egypt, Lybia, Algeria) was, and continues to be, part of the middle east. In Roman times, Carthage was a major African power to be reckoned with.
"Everyone knows the first man and woman were Africans." Just because bodies are best preserved in dry climes does not mean the "FIRST" man and woman were Africans. No one can say with certainty where the "FIRST" man and woman were.
"How can Europeans call their ancestors Africans?"
They do not. Nor should they. Europeans come from Europe.
"When Hebrews, Egyptians and other ancient African empires were reading, writing and building structures...Europeans were still in caves. That is a historical fact."
What is your reference for that? It is every bit as insulting to say this, as to say when Michelangelo was painting the Sistine Chapel, Africans hadn't yet invented the wheel or domesticated a beast. Everyone was in caves at one point. Everyone evolved as best as their environment and climate would allow.
"How did Europeans get the point where they converted to Hebrewism and came to dominate Northeast Africa?"
I am not even certain what you're asking here, but my grasp of it is that you are asking how the Judeo-Christian mythos took over the world. Read some Roman history. Mithras was "bigger than Jesus," to misuse the Beatles' quote, at one point. His shrines were everywhere in the known world that Alexander the Great had conquered. However, the Roman Emperor Constantine converted officially to Christianity and thus spread it around the entirety of the vast Roman Empire. He also created counsels that codified what we know as the Bible today, and began the converting of pagan festivals into today's "Christian" holidays. The Romans and Jews always lived closely together, thus the Judeo-Christian mythos was spread.

Ancient Hebrews get complacent about their empire and start fighting with each other.
Ancient Babylonians come in, kick their ***, and disperse them throughout their empire.
When ancient Assyrians kick some ancient Babylonian ***, they say ancient Hebrews can have their home back. Only the tribe of Judah seriously takes up the offer, hence these people become Jews.
Once the Jews are settled they go for a long time under the Assyrians.
Then the Macedonians come.
Then the Ptolemies come.
Then the Romans come.
Once the Romans come and are there a while, the Jews start thinking it's time for them to be free and they rebel. After a big nastly battle, the Romans win, and when they finish crucifying everyone that played an active role in rebellion, they go after the people who played a passive role. They knock down their temple and cities and disperse them throughout their empire WHICH WAS MOSTLY IN EUROPE.
Even though they are dispersed, the culture survives and people intermarry so that Jews begin to look and sound like their neighbours all the time. They are abused and chased around the continent for years afterwards as empires and kings come and go until 1900 years later, some freaky little Austrian came along and suggested these European Jews should be deprived of their homes and livilihoods, put in cattle cars and sent to the gas chamber. They survive that too and go on to start a mass movement into their ancient territory which was now occupied by someone else. Unfortunately, neither they or the people already there were of any mind to share the space and they have been fighting ever since.
That is how a mostly white nation has come to dominate an "African" nation as you suggest.

The Eurpoean jews come from the Khazar Empire. This is a long forgetten empire. They were located in eastern Europe. This empire was falling apart. It was being conquered by The Holy Roman Empire and they were also being destroyed by Islamic countries. They were being forced to chose which religion they would adapt too. The Khazar Empire chose Hebrewism because they did not want to be dominated by either religion and they also chose Hebrewism because that is the root faith for both Catholicism and Islam. They call themselves Jews because they did not want to take on the complete identity of the original Hebrews (who are truly of African Descent). Most people are not educated on this topic so you will get alot of slack for wanting to know the truth. I suggest that you go to the internet and look up The Khazar Empire and you will find out the truth about European Jews. It does not make the European Jews bad...it just means that the orginal Hebrews have yet to return from exile. They are definitely on their way back to Israel...but it has yet to happen. That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...so help me Yahweh!!!

Hi Lioness, I attempted to uncover "objectified" and "objectification" within the dictionary and no pleasure. Well, I'm no longer precisely definite I fully grasp your queston, however feel I would have an notion. Anyway, have you ever ever heard of the "bell curve"? It's a curve that's formed like a bell and does a well task of representing information. As for cosmetic, at one finish of the curve we've got the least stunning and on the different finish probably the most. The identical might be real for earnings ... poorest on one aspect and richest at the different. In the center of the bell we've got all of the ordinary persons. I feel what you are pronouncing is right, however simply without problems a reality of lifestyles. We have the entire spectrum for each genders. As for why men do not protest ... I bet they detect that it is simply the best way matters are and protests are not going to difference some thing. Hope this is helping!

um, ok, european jews did not come from any 'empire' and they did not 'convert' to judaism (not hebrewism, i dont' think that is a word); you know, they were already jewish...thus, no conversion necessary. they were simply folks who lived in a bunch of different places and all happened to follow the same religion, there were also european catholics, european muslims...you get the picture.
regardless of where we 'came from' black white yellow orange or whatever color, we evolved into different peoples and spread around the world. the world is actually NOT black and white, believe it or not. and "hebrewism" does not in fact dominate northeast africa. it is quite a hodgepodge of religions over there. maybe you should study a bit more and get back to us.

All jews originally came from Mesopotamia which is now Iraq. Their history involved slavery in Egypt, escape from Egypt, the ethnic cleansing of Judea and Canaan, a failed revolt against Roman rule and the destruction of their power in the Middle East which led to them dispersing in to other parts of the world including Europe.
So the Europeans did not convert to Hebrewism.

Did you think a lot to draw this path in ancient history? You must write a novel. You have a vivid imagination. I suggest conspiracy theories.
