Tacitus a Roman Historian States that Jews are Black in His work called "Histories" (jan 1, 69 – jan 1, 96)

Description:

“A few authorities hold that in the reign of Isis the surplus population of Egypt was evacuated to neighboring lands under the leadership of Hierosolymus and Judas. Many assure us that the Jews are descended from those Ethiopians who were driven by fear and hatred to emigrate from their home country when Cepheus was king. There are some who say that a motley collection of landless Assyrians occupied a part of Egypt, and then built cities of their own, inhabiting the lands of the Hebrews and the nearer parts of Syria…” – Tacitus, Histories 5.2-5

The importance of the Testimony of Tacitus is that he was a European (Roman) historian, and he is often quoted by Europeans as a credible source of history. Tacitus lived from (55 A.D. – 117 A.D.), which overlaps the lifetime of the apostle Paul, who was believed to have died in 64 A.D.

“Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?” – Acts 21:38
Paul was mistaken for an Egyptian, and both Egyptians and Ethiopians are black descendants of Ham in the Bible. If Hebrews looked European, Paul wouldn’t have been mistaken for an Egyptian, nor would the guard have assumed he didn’t speak Greek, and the people in the time of Tacitus wouldn’t have mistaken them for Egyptians and Ethiopians.
