My Family Album: the Bible

many people refuse to simply believe or understand that we're all descendents from Africa, the Motherland for anyone to have lived at all in that tropical clime their skin color would have darken over a period of time the rivers in the garden of Eden many have tried to claim are not the same rivers in Africa despite having the same names it's been proven scientifically and DNA does not lie that every human being can be traced back to an African tribe the original man, the first human beings but that is not what the world wants to be gleaning it's has been substantiated and proven as a fact that Adam and Eve were individuals whose skin color was black take for instance the word Ham, it was the name of Noah's son and when translated into English it mean black, sunburnt or overdone Herodutus, the Greek historian and Dr. Hirshfield, a researcher have found that no human being could exist in that region without their skin color being brown yes, the Bible is my history, the family album of Black men our lasting and living legacy from the beginning to the very end Cush means Ethiopia, Mizram for Egypt and Cannan, the father of Israel yet those are the very names of Ham's sons and from them great nations have prevailed so if Ham was black, his sons are black and that makes them my family my distant relatives, my ancestors, my historical legacy and from them came great nations of mighty rulers, kings and queens Egypt's Tutenkhamen, Nefertitti, Amnehotep and Amen King Menelick, King Kashta, Queen Amanitore and Queen Candace too were rulers of the Ethiopian Empire whose skin color was a dark black hue so the next time I open my Bible about my relatives I will see for the Bible is my history that was passed down through my family
