“PHUT IN BIBLICAL HISTORY” (Sub-Saharan Africa) Phut was the third son of Ham, the brother of Ethiopia-Cush, Mizraim-Egypt and Canaanite-Israel (Genesis 10:6; 1 chronicles 1:8). Phut was known to be the ancestor of Libya and the black people of Sub-Saharan Africa . According to Josephus, Phut was the founder of ancient Libya, and his people were known as Phutes. Different bible translations such as NIV, ASV, CEB etc has translated and used the word Phut for Libya. The black descendants of Phut was anciently associated with their Ethiopia-Cush and Mizraim-Egypt relatives (Ezekiel 38:5; Nahum 3:9). Around 3200 B.C when Egypt was divided into two parts, the South was upper-Egypt which was predominated by the Ethiopian-Nubians, and the North part of Egypt was the lower Egypt, …show more content…
The bible did not give us the full details on the sons of Phut and how they immigrated to the rest part of Africa. However, we were referred two times by the scripture to the book of Jasher to obtain some important informations about some historical events and facts that took place in history. From the mouth of two or three witness the truth is established (Matthew 18:16; John 8:17; 2 Corinthians 13:1). The word of God is authentic, infallible and cannot lie, the same word that cannot lie referred us to the book of Jasher twice, this means that the book of Jasher is a credible source to obtain information (Joshua 10:13; 2 Samuel 1:18 obtained from Jasher 88:64; Jasher 56:9). If God’s word referred us to the book of Jasher, I did like to refer us back to the same book of Jasher for some assistance in other to trace and determined the offsprings of Phut descendants. The book of Jasher told us that Phut had four sons, and specifically gave us their names (Jasher 7:12). With their names, the scholars were able to trace Phuts descendants to various Bantu tribes in Sub-Saharan

During its years of development, specifically around in 3500, the ancient land of Egypt was located close to multiple continents, these continents being Europe, Asia, and Africa. It was separated into different divisions, mainly geographical, there being four major physical geographic sections. The first was water-based, the Nile Valley and Delta, the second two were deserts, Eastern Desert and Western Desert, and the last was the Sinai Peninsula. The ancient Egyptians also considered their land to be separated in two more divisions: “red land” and “black land”. The desert surrounding Egypt was the “red land” section because it was barren. The area served as a means of protection, as it divided Egypt from enemies that wanted to attack and ...

Egypt has one of the longest histories of any nation in the world. Written history of Egypt dates back to about 5,000 years, the commencement of civilization. While there is divergence in relation to Early Egyptian times, it is said that Egypt came to be around 3200 B.C., during the reign of a king by the name of Menes and unified the northern and southern cities of Egypt into one government. In 1675 B.C., Egypt was invaded by the Hyksos, people from the east, bringing along the very first of chariots and horses ever to come across Egyptian soil. Approximately 175 years later in 1500 B.C., the Egyptians had gotten rid of the Hyksos and driven them out. In 1375 B.C., Amenhotep IV had become the king of Egypt. During his reign he eliminated the worship of Egyptian gods and initiated the idea of only worshipping one god. But after his death, his ideas were retired and old ways were reestablished. Egyptian supremacy then started to decline around 1000 B.C. Between 1000 B.C. and 332 B.C., Egypt was ruled by many such as the Libyans, Assyrians, Ethiopians, and Persians. In 640, Muslims conquered Egypt and founded the city of Cairo in 969 and deemed it as the capital of Egypt. For many centuries Egypt was ruled by Muslim caliphs. A prominent ruler of this period was Saladin, who battled the Christian Crusaders at the conclusion of the twelfth century. In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt but was then forced to withdraw in 1801 Turkish and British armed forces. In 1805 Mohamed Ali began ruling Egypt till 1848 and great changed the country in terms of modernization and its military. During Mohamed’s conquest, he borrowed a lot of money from the French and British, which later resulted in Egypt’s coloniza...
Migrations have taken place by slaves and by free people of sub-Saharan Africa for over seventy thousand years, beginning with the tropical areas of the Old World and followed by Eurasia and the Americas. These migrations, or Diasporas, began with religious voyages and cultural exchanges and evolved to the slave trade and the deportation of black men, women and children to new colonies as workers and servants. Long before the Atlantic slave trade grew, merchants from Greece and the Roman Empire traveled to the East African coast. Patrick Manning points out in, African Diaspora: A History Through Culture, that migrants came from southern Arabia to Eretria and Ethiopia in the first millennium BCE (Manning 36). As time went on, contacts grew with other regions of Africa and trade developed with Asia and Europe. This resulted in further migrations of black Africans as both slaves and free men. The Africans brought with them customs, music food preparation techniques and minerals. For example, the discovery of copper in Central Africa brought about a substantial trans-Saharan trade and more exchange of culture and migrations. As more Africans migrated to various parts of the world, they carried with them their culture and learned new techniques and ways of life. Whether they migrated as slaves or as free men, the Africans influenced their new lands and African identity was influenced forever. This paper will look at the effects of these migrations on African identity throughout the Diaspora. It will examine migration patterns, issues of race, racial hierarchy and culture.
When Hatshepsut claimed the throne Thutmose III was only 12 years of age. It has been debated that Hatshepsut therefore had time to win over the support of important political officials, including Hapusoneb and Senenmut. This would ensure her steady rise to power. Tyldesley (1998) states ‘hers was a gradual evolution’. However the main reason why Hatshepsut was able to become pharaoh was through a large amount of propaganda. The propagandas’ main emphasis was on her relationship with her heavenly father Amun and her biological father Thutmose I. The Pharaoh of Egypt would usually proclaim themselves as being the physical son of the predominant god in Egypt (Bradley, P, 1999). Hatshepsut depicted this in her Devine Conception and Birth scenes on the Middle Colonnade at her mortuary temple, Deir el Bahri. However these accounts were different in that it involved, for the first time, the birth of a female ruler. The reliefs depict how Amun foretold the gods about the birth of the female Hatshepsut. It also portrays Amun taking on Thutmose I’s form and placing his ankh to queen Ahmose’s nose, where she breathes in his essence and conceive Hatshepsut. The god Khnum was instructed by Amun to make the khet and its ka on his potter’s wheel, where the royal baby Hatshepsut and her ka are shown as being male (Bradley, P, 1999). In these scenes she is promised all the land and people of Egypt by Anubis. Her coronation reliefs depict both Amun and Thutmose I claiming Hatshepsut as the next ruler of Egypt. The first scene shows Hatshepsut represented as a boy being purified and presented by Amun, before the gods. She then is shown visiting the shrines of the gods alongside Thutmose I, there the gods welcome her as the future king. Then is crowned by the gods and depicted in Thutmose I’s court where she is declared his successor. However these scenes are false, the dates of these events do not
Unique favor to Abraham’s offspring: According to the Book of Genesis it is indisputable how God vowed to make a great nation out of Abraham, which turned out to be Israel.

Egypt is located in North Africa, it is along the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile river, which runs through the center of Egypt, acts as a great water source. It’s floods create fertile soil for farming. Egypt was divided into two an upper and a Lower Egypt based on the flow of the river. Upper Egypt was in the south. It was called Upper Egypt because the Nile flowed upstream. Lower Egypt was in the north, it held the Nile delta.
In Jewish tradition, as written in the Hebrew Bible, the Children of Israel were split into three groups. The Kohanim (the singular is simply Kohen) were the priests. The first Kohen was Moses' brother, Aaron, and all Kohanim since then are said to be descendants of Aaron. The second group was the Levis, of which Moses himself was a part of, and the third group was compiled of the remaining eleven tribes (of which ten have said to be "lost"), simply called the Israelites.
The land of Canaan where the Canaanites dwelt was the land promised by God to the Israelite people. Canaan was the name of a large and prosperous country which coincides roughly to present- day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Israel. In some passages in the Bible, the Canaanite people were specifically referred to as the people of the lowlands and plains of Canaan. In other Bible passages, Canaanites is used in a broader way to refer to all the inhabitants of the land, including the Hivites, Girgashites, Jebusites, Hittites, and Perizzites (Judges 1:9,10).
The philosophies and traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam most prominently begin with the founder of the Hebrews known as Abraham ca 1800 BCE Historically, these teachings were also subscribed by nomadic tribes, which settled in present day Palestine, near Mt. Sinai. The people of these tribes did not label themselves as Hebrews, and referred to God as the god of Abraham.

“The Old Testament has a vision of the people of God which will include, but not confined, to ethnic Israelites: many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become may people’ (Zech. 2:11); it was built into the “genetic code” of Israel from the outside, as the New Testament’s scriptural quotation and argumentation on this point show clearly” (Wright, C., 1992, p.2). These types of passages assured the people of Israel that God was near, and they also sculpted the path of today’s world. The Old Testament lays out the principles of the Bible. The stories are used a guidance to those who are seeking a relationship with God and have a desire to
