This chromosome bears witness to the story of the Jewish Diaspora of 586 B.C. These Jewish inhabitants of Jerusalem had already been conquered by the Assyrians who were Mediterranean Caucasoids from Mesopotamia. As I said, in 701 B.C. hundreds of thousands of Jews abandoned Jerusalem. More importantly, before the Pharoah Sheshonq plundered Jerusalem in 925 B.C., King Solomon made his son, Menelik, King of Ethiopia and anointed him King David II. On his return to Ethiopia King Menelik was accompanied by the first born sons of King Solomon's noblemen. It is there in Axum, in St. Mary's of Zion church, where the Ark of The Covenant, containing the original Ten Commandments given to Moses, is kept. And that is where the descendants of King Solomon and the Root of David live. The original Jews. In the early 4th century they recieved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and converted to Christianity. There they remain. The ancient Christians.
I should have quoted the relevant bit. None of the current inhabitants of the region can make a claim to be the rightful inhabitants, since they are demonstrably descended from the same ancestry dating at least to 2000 or so BCE. Anything after that is sort of pointless. Not that the whole question isn't pointless, since the Israelis and Palestinians aren't going anywhere without a fight.

I never heard that Solomon was black...or that his father, King David, was black...interesting...doesn't change a thing, except for the image in my mind of the characters I read about in the Bible.
