Not exactly. Biological Jews are descendants of Jacob, who was renamed Israel by God.
Israel had twelve sons, one whose name was Judah, the forefather of the Jews. What is
not well known is that the Jews are only one of twelve tribes of Judah, and that they do
not comprise all of Israel. (Levi, another son of Israel's is counted among the Jews.)

The remainder of the tribes are commonly known as the "Lost Ten Tribes," although they
are not really lost, and their locations can well be traced in a thorough study of history.
What one would discover is that all the descendants of Israel are white.

So what made the ancient Jews so tawny in complexion? It wasn't genes. It was the
locale of their existence. The Jews habitated ancient Levant, which composed what are
now the modern nations of Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan.

The sun-beaten climate of Levant causes the anatomy to develop a higher amount of
melanin, a pigment that protects the body from sunlight through absorption. This process
results in the darkening of the skin. So, while their complexions are darker, they are still
white by genes. so the biological Jews have always been caucasian -- white.

BTW, I am biologically Jewish (well, that and Irish, which is descended from Dan, another
son of Israel . . . but that's another story).

Hope this helps . . .

Descendants of Abraham (same as what you are saying obviously) who was Aramean.

Yes, Israel was the grandson of Abraham, the latter who fathered the ancestors of Israel and
the Arab and Turkish peoples, among others.

Abraham was born and raised in the city biblically called Ur of the Chaldees (Ur Kaśdim in
Hebrew), not far from ancient Babylon, which was located in what is now Iraq. At God's
instructions, he migrated from there to Salem (which by tradition became Jerusalem) where he
and his son and Israel's father Isaac remained. Israel and his sons would migrate to Egypt in
his later years.

But now . . .

I was never able to discern this when I tried to find it documented in historic and ancient maps. It's made especially difficult by how much of it is lore and was passed orally in light of alphabets and languages not having adequate convention. I'd be curious to see this thorough study of history you describe. It's really a curiosity to me, not something I've studied extensively.

Actually, Abraham predated the Arameans and was likely their ancestor. They arose during
the collapse of the Bronze Age (1200-900 B.C.). Abraham was born circa 1852-1872 B.C.
and died 175 years later, which would be between 1677 and 1697.

I don't want to get into this any more deeply here. After all, this is a football forum.

Guys let get this back on topic or I’ll lock this bitch up.

How did Heston ever have an acting career? I’ve seen pornstars with more range.

Well, we're still off-topic, but I'll answer it since you asked specifically.

If it is just out of curiosity, you might not find it worth it because it is a lot of work. But
a good place to start is the book "Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright" by J.H. Allen.
It gives a thorough, well-documented account of what has happened to the children of
Israel and where they went. It can be found on Amazon.
