I was born in the USA and for 59 years I read the Bible and came to the same conclusion in your article. The accompanying maps help corroborate this. The Bible is so clear that the people, countries and nations in the Bible belonged to Africa and Africans, not to Europe and Europeans. His descendants are named after him as Canaanites in the Bible. It is in North-Eastern Africa, not Europe. The land he ruled was named after him as the Land of Canaan. The Libyans, excluding the Arabs there, are the descendants of Phut, son of Ham, an African in the Bible. Phut ruled the whole land known today as Libya. The Bible (Gen: 10:20) says the sons of Ham and their families, countries and nations which they lived in and ruled were Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.Įgypt is also called Mizraim in the Bible and also the Land of Ham (Psalm: 105: 23-27). Those who may still be in doubt that the Canaanites were Africans and that the land of Canaan was African land let us turn to the Bible, again, to establish who Canaan and his descendants were. This is the land that was known as North-Eastern Africa. The borders of this land that Canaan and his African descendants lived in and ruled, according to the Bible (Gen 10: 19), extended “from Sidon as thou comest to Gerar unto Gaza and goest unto Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zoboim, even unto Lasha.” This is the Land of Africa where Abraham lived for 10 years and married Hagar the Egyptian (Gen 15: 3). Historians Flavius Josephus, Celus, Plutarch, Tacitus, Eusebius, and Diodorus confirm that the original Hebrew were a group of Ethiopians and Egyptians who were forced to leave Egypt and migrate with their caravans on foot to this Land which Canaan ruled, a Land of Africans in North-Eastern Africa. Second World War correspondents introduced the new name Middle-East for the portion of the land separated from the African mainland.īefore the Second World War the whole region now called Middle-East was known as North-Eastern Africa.Īncient wagons in the Bible journeyed from these regions to the mainland of Africa on foot (Gen 46:5-7). The whole region that includes what the Bible calls the Land of Canaan, Palestine and Israel was an extension of the African mainland before it was artificially divided from the main African continent by the manmade Suez Canal. This is contrary to maps of Africa today which only show the main body of the continent as Africa with the Suez Canal as its north eastern border. The purpose of this article is to precisely show that all the four rivers belong to Africa in the Bible.įor instance, before the Suez Canal was built in 1859-1869, the original African map extended to the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Some may still argue that the only rivers that seem to belong to Africa are the Pison/White Nile and the Gihon/Blue Nile, not the Tigris/Hiddekel or the Euphrates. The four rivers in the Bible were the Pishon or White Nile on the world map, the Gihon or Blue Nile on the world map, the Hiddekel or Tigris on the world map, and the Euphrates both in the Bible and world map. We also referred to the Bible and world map to find out the names of the four rivers that flowed from Eden/Africa to water the Garden. It also showed that the Garden itself was planted in Eden/Africa in the East, in Ethiopia, to be precise.Īs such, the Garden is not Eden/Africa, but in Eden/Africa. A PREVIOUS article on ‘Where is Eden?’ referred to the Bible to show that Eden in the Bible is Africa.
