Whos thinking that? Or did you just gave insight to youre own Old assumption? -
If Moses look like a white person .....how the ? he got adopted into an Ancient African Egyptian family who looked mostly like they were black people and not get caught. Now mind you this was a 1000 of years before Roman occupation of Egypt.

That depiction ain't as accurate as you think. The traditional jews were a mixture of dark-skin, fair-skin and middle eastern looking ? . They didn't have fresh cuts, perfect edge-ups, hood ? with cornrolls and ? like that, they were typically rugged looking. If you wanna contrast them to todays society they looked like a mixture of brazilians and morrocans. These wiggas got movies about white david, white moses, white jesus but how did a white david have black kids that stem off to Haile Selassie and the rastafarian religion. If you were to get as close to an accurate depiction of Jesus he was similar in features to Haile Selassie because afterall he's a descendant of David.
Minus the beard because according to Hebrew traditions they didn't grow that ? nor long hair, they all looked alike so Judas had to point him out of a crowd. A lot of prophets were not painted nor in pictures but if you look at all the ? that made an impact in society, they were all brown skin in color and this world has patterns.

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
lol I dont even know what the white mans idea is. Im not murican g, where Im from, the prophets are always depicted dark skinned. Just not with shaven chests (no ? ) and without beards n the og king robes.
no beard means no king fam lol. Thats the law.
Whoa?!

for a pharoah rocking a beard was mandatory, if you couldnt grow One, they gave you One, Im not even making it up lol word to Hatsjeput
Bruh...!!! There's gotta be a connection with this and us being encouraged to shave our ? . -
The greatest miracle Jesus pulled was being a white guy from the Middle East

Well the Bible says:
Leviticus 19:27 - Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
So most of the people following those cultural guidelines were probably walking around looking like Osama. -
This is just more speculation
We can't know for certain whether these people looked Arabic, East African, North African, or whatever else
So you're saying they looked like this
Let's say for argument' sake that we don't whether these people looked Arabic, East Africa, or North African. What we do know for a fact is that didn't resemble anything like the Renaissance Era models who posed for the portraits or Charlton Heston. -

TODAY.
those are not the people who are referenced in the Bible.
the world is mostly brown ppl. One day these attempts to rewrite folklore in the image of lily whites will bite u folks in the ass.
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
You do realize that in under 1/4 that time the population of the US went from 100% Native American to mostly White, Black, Asian and "Hispanic" which didn't even exist before then.
there goes that argument.
Also can someone please explain to this guy why there are so many Israelis that look European. -

Probably not. It makes more sense for them to resemble the current Middle Eastern population which has a lot of different ethnic groups in it. Considering that it isn't all Black people over there and there are a lot of Arabs it does not make sense to conclude that the people were without a doubt West African looking. -

But we have evidence of large scale migration to support that
I don't know of any that indicates a similar change in the middle east

The traditional hebrews and still is to this day black that's it, different shades of black? yes but majority black!
Naw my brother we was G'd up, we was Set apart from other cultures.....we washed our hair, feet, hands before we ate heathens lost their mind, we had culture.....we was rocking Afro's, Corn Rolls and Beards!!! brothers had those turbans, our women had braids, long hair, smelling good, loved YAH, cooked and was warriors also.
Brother we had long hair, we let our crops grown with out cutting it. -

Or Black people can use the story of the Bible to fit their agenda like every other group does.
There are a lot of subconscious positives that come from seeing highly regarded characters resemble your ? structure and skin color. There's a reason why white people try so hard to hide the truth. -

Wrong Osama was walking around looking like us -
I was gonna say this...I doubt king David and Elijah the prophet had fades....
But GOAT nonetheless
So them ? had waves and fades? Angels have nose rings? OH OKAY lol
However, inaccuracies in hair STYLE are WAYYYYYY better than the inaccuracies in Race, skin color, nationality, culture, language, hair color, culture, significance...and other white ? ...

The bible itself is actually full of depictions of these large scale migrations. One could almost make the argument that that's the basic theme of the entire old testament.
None of it took place in Europe where white people come from. The whitiest you'll get in that book are a few Greeks and some Romans - everyone else is African or Semitic. -

Greeks, Assyrians, Turks or Iranians are not White enough? -

You are wrong there's enough evidence that they left that tells me what they look like, if you can't believe they look like you then that's for your psychology

You can't black wash evidence

Song of Solomon 1:5-6 KJV
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
This Solomon speaking now... Son of David. Great great(idk how many greats) uncle of Jesus -
They look like afro asiatics to me.

Ancient Mesopotamia was primarily populated by Semites, not whites (I can't believe I have to say that). The Greeks and Romans who are actually European conquered many of those places much later which explains the way some people look today... thousands of years later.
