Welcome to the exciting world of Mythology Channel! Did you know that black people, one of the largest ethnic groups in the world, have a fascinating history that is even documented in the Holy scriptures? Surprisingly, the Bible talks about the origins of African people, including their melanin kings and queens. In this video, you will discover fun facts about the biblical ancestors of black and African peoples. We would love for you to leave your likes, comments, and subscribe to our channel!

According to the holy scriptures, all current peoples are descendants of Noah's three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This also applies to black people and other ethnic groups with dark skin, whose lineage originates from Ham, one of Noah's sons. Ham is the brother of Shem and Japheth, who represent the Semitic peoples (Arabs, Jews, Syrians, etc.) and the Europeans and Asians, respectively.

The term "Hamites" originally referred to people descended from Ham or Rami, one of Noah's sons, according to the Bible. After the flood, Noah and his three sons were entrusted with continuing the lineage of Adam. With just eight people - Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their three daughters-in-law - humanity needed to start over. Ham, son of Noah, is recognized as the ancestor of African and black peoples in the Bible. His name is always associated with Africa, and the book of Psalms even places him as the ancestor of the ancient Egyptians.

It is interesting to note that in antiquity, rabbinical traditions, ancient tales of the Jewish people, and other ancient traditions always identified him as the ancestor of African peoples. Furthermore, all interpretations of Ham's children point to African countries and regions. It is curious that the name "Ham" itself, in Hebrew, Aramaic, and other ancient languages, means "burned" or "dark," referring to the skin tone of his descendants.

If you want to learn more about the lineage of Ham, also known as the Hamite, you can find additional information in chapter 10 of the Book of Genesis, between verses 6 and 14. It's a fascinating journey into the history of African peoples and their biblical roots.

rously misinterpreted as this one. But thankfully, there are scholars and truth-seekers who have uncovered the truth and exposed the lie of a cursed race. They have rediscovered the rich heritage and identity of Africa and the Bible, and have shown that we are all equal in the eyes of God.

Hi there! My name is Wintley Phipps, and I'm so glad to be here with you today. As a husband, father, and descendant of slaves, I know firsthand the struggles and questions that many people of African and slave descent face when it comes to their heritage and identity. It's not easy to imagine what it must have been like for our ancestors, who were treated like animals, sold like cattle, and stripped of their language and names.

But despite the pain and heartache, the old spirituals that our ancestors sang also reflected their hope and faith in God. And as someone who takes the Bible seriously, I know that we are all God's children, no matter our race, color, or ethnicity. Unfortunately, some people have distorted the Bible to support the evil of slavery, using a misunderstood curse from the prophet Noah to claim that an entire race was sentenced to servitude and slavery.

But thanks to the work of scholars like Dr. Edwin Yamauchi, we now know the truth. No one is cursed because of their race or color, and we are all equal in the eyes of God. So let's celebrate our rich heritage and identity, and remember that we are all part of God's family. Thanks for joining me today on Day of Discovery!
