Question

why is is that people misappropriate the history of the Hamites to arabs and indo-Europeans. The Hamites include Kush modern day Sudan ancient Egypt Sumer the world's first civilization.

Answer 1

Mention of Nimrod in the Bible is rather limited. He is called the first to become "a mighty one on the earth" and "the mighty hunter before Yahweh." He is said to be the founder and king of the first empire after the Flood, and his realm is connected with the Mesopotamian towns Babylon (Babel), Uruk, Akkad, and Calneh. Owing to an ambiguity in the original Hebrew text, it is unclear whether it is he or Asshur who additionally founded Nineveh, Resen, Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, and both of these interpretations are reflected in the various English versions

Answer 2

According to the Bible this is so as the first civilization in Biblical hisory was centre upon the tower of Bable from which Babylong gets it's name. However in reading history I have come upon facts. In the 17th century a certain archbishop Usher did a calculation from the bible about the ages of the Patriachs when they died, how long they lived and how old they were when their sons and sucsessors were born. He conclude the world was created at 9:00 am on the moring of the 31 of October 4004 B.C. The year, according to the biblical context is correct as I myself have done the same calculation. What I did and have read shed light upon Nimrod.

In actual history (and this coordinates with the time of the flood) Mesopotamia-or Sumeria as it was then known, was invaded by the Akkadians under Sargon of Akkad who founded the Akkadian or Argave Empire. This happened in the early 22nd century B.C. After about 100 years the Akkadian empire fell and the cities of the area reclaimed their independence. Among those was a new city-Babylong. There was an historian in the 19th century-Liviousene who wrote a book of dynastic lists which include the rulership of a ruler of Babylong named Nimrod. This is about the late 21st century B.C. which coordinates exactally with the biblical timeline. Therefore if there was a Nimrud and there most likely was, then he was the ruler of a resurrgent and new Babylong. And it is interesting that one of the original cities of the Assyrians is named Nimrad.

But the biblical Nimrud was the son of Cush-not Kush. And there is a region in Africa in the area of now-Ethiopia, known to the ancient Egyptains and passed down to us-as Kush. And as the inhabitants of Ethiopia were the only black people known to most Europeans up till the 16th century, Cush-the correct spelling of someones name has been confused with Kush, an area in Africa with black people. And as,in the bible, Cush was the son of Ham and Ham and his house was cursed because unlike his brothers-Japeth and Shem-he did not help their father Noah when he fell down drunk. Because of the wording, the black people were identified with Ham and thus was a biblical excuse manufactured from this falicy to mistreat the black people. And of course the Europeans labelled any unfortunate race with that decent. The Arabs were amongst these. Which is ironic because Arabs are Semites(decendents of Shem). But it was a convenient excuse by people of the past and present too ignorant to have the proper and exact historical knowledge and too heatless to have considertion for their fellow human beings.

Actually Nimrud was the son of Cush and grandson of Ham. He was known as a mighty hunter who was supposed to have either destroyed or defeated the Nephalim (the giants of those days in the bible). His mother was named Seramirus who was known as a very able and knowledgable ruler. She married her son Nimrod when the father Cush died and is credited by fundementalist, conspirital christians with the founding of the confessional system and starting the practice of paganism and ultimately the Roman Catholic Church. But whatever the truth of the matter there is no excuse, no excuse at all for using anything of it to make people's lives a misery, exploit them, drag them away from their home and family and generally have contempt for them. And to add to this, the ignorance of stupidy in the mistranslation and mispelling to do these evil things-this just adds idiocy to an evil and tradgic history. Why is it that people have done this? Because of their ignorance and stupidity. But even given this-their heart and consience should have told them it was wrong. With the mind there may be some excuse for erring-as we are all falible. But with the heart-never-because this is why we have been given such-above and seperate from all other creatures on the face of the earth-a sense of right and wrong. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Yeah. Nimrod was the grandson of Ham. I'm not sure where the Arabs and Indo-Europeans came in, because the empire of kush was in Africa.

Answer 4

Biblical mythology is virtually valueless for understanding ethnology and history.
