See #68.
Meant to ping you to #80
I am very confused.
Cushite/Kushite are indeed alternate spellings for the land called 'Cush' or 'Kush.' That place is Ethiopia. In hebrew even today I think, the word is used to describe both 'Ethiopian' and 'racially black.'
Or the "Last Temptation of Moses"
Exodus 1:16 begins the telling of Moses meeting Zipporah (spelling in my Bible, different than the movie character, too), a Midian.
Yep.
You know, many seem to be very sarcastic about this, or any film that touches biblical topics... but the truth is, there used to be many films, some more accurate than others, about biblical subjects, and a return to that is a good trend, not a bad one.
The girl in the green diaphanous dress mooning at Charlton Heston's Moses was not Nefertiti... she was named (by the hollywood scriptwriters) Nefertiri
... it's all in the "r"
You are correct.
If your curious, look up what the names, Shem, Ham and Japheth mean.
Gen.6:10
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The odds are that Adam and Eve were medium skinned people. Not white. Not black but something in between.
Thanks. I still have a bronze statue of Nefertiti I picked up in Cairo back in the early '60's.
SunkenCiv, will you see if you can locate this post? Thanks.
"Interestingly, blam posted a thread some time back in which an English Egyptologist claimed to have found the mummy of Nefertiti. She is now no longer allowed into Egypt."
No, not so. Nefertiti was contemporary with Tutankhamon (King Tut). She may have been his Sister-in-Law/Aunt or Aunt/Sister-in-law, being married to his older brother Ankhenaten... there is some belief that Tut married Nefertiti on his brother's death and his ascension to the throne. It is also possible that Nefertiti then married his successor Ai.
It is NOT possible that Nefertiti was married to Ramses the Great or a more likely candidate for the Pharoah of the Exodus, Thutmose IV, because they had been dead and in their sarcophaguses for several hundred years by the time of King Tut.
The name Nefertiri was made up by Hollywood.
"For this you shall drink BITTER waters!"
OK JOe
The BIG lie always works better than a little one...
Read a bible
That's what I meant. Hollywood changing history. You say Tiri, I say Titi, let's call the whole thing off!
You are correct!
