Bbbbblack ppl alwaze takin thyngs 4 ? . Yyyyya yes they is.
.The series, which will be fully released in October, features 70 models who identify as either Asian, Native American, Hispanic, African, Middle Eastern, Black American and West Indian. -
This is just more speculation
We can't know for certain whether these people looked Arabic, East African, North African, or whatever else
we can be certain they were not white. and it is a good bet they were dark skinned africans like the ppl who lived in Africa since forever.. -
We don't know where these dusty feet aka habiru dudes come from but it was far from egypt
-
I know almost everybody grandmama or mama had that pic of black jesus hanging up....even when i was little i always believed that that was the real jesus. word

I can't tell if them hoes got dat ass from the pics posted

I'm guessing Lucifer is white, that's why they didn't include him.
-
Funny thing is that people were like 140cm tall back then, makes the pyramids even more impressive.

with that said, Most of em(especially kind David n solomon) look like a bunch of ? . Where are the beards n og robes lol Why they look like they were extras in a 300 movie?
lol you stuck on the white man's idea of how they were dressed -

no beard means no king fam lol. Thats the law. -

Many Israelis and Palestinians today look white
It is not impossible for some biblical figures to look like that considering those places are the alleged holy land -

hundreds of different (nomadic) tribes/people from various regions lived in modern day syria/palestine/israel/jordan/iraq etc...hundreds...
both euro n afro centric minded peeps always seem to ignore those facts. Talking bour "mesopotamia n egypt" as if those names werent Made up by foreign historians lol. -

Those people are long dead but 2,000 years is a tiny blip in our history
They did not go from looking like Wesley Snipes to looking like they do now in that time
Other areas referenced in religious texts, like Babylon and Assyria also have a lot of variation in skin tone and other features
There is no way one could say nobody in these texts was "white" with absolute certainty -
stop the ? .
seriously. y'all want the world to b white so bad... its not. -

There is no desire for any outcome
just zero willingness to say something is certain when it is not
Terrible way to live

The people in that region back then varied in appearance just like they do now

Samuel the prophet = Tyrese

cant really blame the man, ? hollywood and eurocentrics got the Whole world believing Jesus and co were white. Got russel crowe playing noach and ? .
Here in Indonesia, churches are loaded with blond haired Jesus. ? is absurd.
we need a counter reaction, get the discussion on, knowing that moses was darkskinned for example, would uplift/have positive effects... -
