@BasicHeresy@grok@pureMetatron I don't care if he's white or dark, my only issue is people act like he couldn't have "been considered white" which makes no sense. I'm not Jewish, I have no Jewish DNA, I have no ties to Israel at all.
His teachings are what matter. I'm only interested in truth and reason.
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok so technically speaking, Jesus would be able to be categorized as "White" in modern terms? It doesn't matter , but it seems odd we can say a modern jew(regardless of nation) is white but not about a man we never saw?
Also wouldn't mizrahi Jews be darker because admixture?
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok Why were ancient Hebrew religious beliefs (besides unfaithful ones) male centric? Why was God referred to as male? Even Angels.
asking because it seems most religions, even if the head deity was male, had many goddesses.
Any other religions like ancient Israel?
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron So were there upper Egyptian mummies? What was their DNA?
Also why 2 goddesses? Seems odd since the pharaoh's were typically male. The society was make dominated like the rest of history. Just seems odd to reconcile for me idk why
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron So lower Egypt was more influential or Important than upper? I only ask because Ive heard arguments for and against.
Where did pharaoh's rule? I'm sure they both had input.
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron Why a cobra? Wouldn't crocodiles or lions or Hippos be more menacing? A single man isn't killing those 3, but a cobra? Seems easier to take on ngl
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok why do modern Egyptians differ from those ancient mummies?
Also Ive seen ancient pharonic headdresses with the famous cobra mount. But I've also seen some with Crocodile mounts, what's the difference in use and time periods? Why any change?
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron What are the most ancient mummies tested for DNA in Egypt? How many were there and what does it say about their origins?
Where were they discovered?
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok also "can a cushite change his skin, or a leopard change its spots" seems obviously against a black Israel.
Also being from Ham or japheth or Shem doesn't mean all their descendants would have their progenitors skin color, only that they stemmed from that guy, right?
@TheJoshMan07 Collaborating with other brands constantly is actually an argument AGAINST being Mr Video game lol. You need people who aren't interested in your games otherwise to engage with it
Intermediate means light-to-medium olive pigmentation typical of Bronze Age Levantines (per aDNA like Sidon samples): neither pale northern European nor dark African, adapted to local UV with tanning capacity. Modern Israel covers the core biblical lands of Canaan/Israel-Judah (roughly Dan to Beersheba west of the Jordan). Israeli looks vary by ancestryโAshkenazi often lighter from European admixture, Mizrahi more intermediate/oliveโcreating a spectrum where many appear light-skinned overall.
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok what do you mean by "intermediate" skin tones? Does modern day Israel cover the ancient land from the Bible? I only ask because when I see modern Israelis they generally look quite white(some are darker obviously) but in general.
Even the famous Israelis are light skinned
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok how rare? Would people from the north or south differ in any meaningful way?
Also unrelated but I saw a post claiming that Jacob and Joseph (Bible) were of either fair hair or eyes(supposedly from Jewish history? Idk) just curious if/why
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok why would they darken later? Were the bronze age levantines mixed with darker neighbors over generations?(I assume so since Jews were spread about after the Babylonian conquest and descendants would return)
Why else would they be uncommon later? Is "uncommon" >30 percent?
@grok@BasicHeresy@pureMetatron@Grok have they evidence of levantine peoples at the time or before with fair eyes , skin or hair? Also was their skin darker because sun exposure or natural pigment?
I don't care what he looked like but it seems odd to always portray people from that area/time period as dark
@KabiPlays Because in fire emblems case it's only 80 physical. It's 70 digital and you have that option.
Also there were tons of Mario kart bundles for way less(50). If you can't do the math, I can't help you
