Africa's Biblical Roots Revealed

This document discusses how maps from biblical times show that locations mentioned in the Bible such as Eden, the Garden of Eden, and the lands of Canaan were actually located within the geographic region of Africa, not Europe. It provides evidence from the Bible to argue that the four rivers mentioned as flowing from Eden were the White Nile, Blue Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates rivers, all of which were part of the original African continent. The document also asserts that before the Suez Canal was built, the maps of Africa extended further northeast to include the lands now known as the Middle East, and that ancient travelers moved between these regions within Africa.

A PREVIOUS article on ‘Where is Eden?’ referred to the Bible to show that Eden in the Bible is
Africa.
It also showed that the Garden itself was planted in Eden/Africa in the East, in Ethiopia, to be
precise.
As such, the Garden is not Eden/Africa, but in Eden/Africa.
We also referred to the Bible and world map to find out the names of the four rivers that flowed
from Eden/Africa to water the Garden.
The four rivers in the Bible were the Pishon or White Nile on the world map, the Gihon or Blue
Nile on the world map, the Hiddekel or Tigris on the world map, and the Euphrates both in the
Bible and world map.
Some may still argue that the only rivers that seem to belong to Africa are the Pison/White Nile
and the Gihon/Blue Nile, not the Tigris/Hiddekel or the Euphrates.
The purpose of this article is to precisely show that all the four rivers belong to Africa in the
Bible.
For instance, before the Suez Canal was built in 1859-1869, the original African map extended to
the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
This is contrary to maps of Africa today which only show the main body of the continent as
Africa with the Suez Canal as its north eastern border.
The whole region that includes what the Bible calls the Land of Canaan, Palestine and Israel was
an extension of the African mainland before it was artificially divided from the main African
continent by the manmade Suez Canal.
Second World War correspondents introduced the new name Middle-East for the portion of the
land separated from the African mainland.
Before the Second World War the whole region now called Middle-East was known as North-
Eastern Africa.
Ancient wagons in the Bible journeyed from these regions to the mainland of Africa on foot
(Gen 46:5-7).
Historians Flavius Josephus, Celus, Plutarch, Tacitus, Eusebius, and Diodorus confirm that the
original Hebrew were a group of Ethiopians and Egyptians who were forced to leave Egypt and
migrate with their caravans on foot to this Land which Canaan ruled, a Land of Africans in
North-Eastern Africa.
This is the Land of Africa where Abraham lived for 10 years and married Hagar the Egyptian
(Gen 15: 3).
The borders of this land that Canaan and his African descendants lived in and ruled, according to
the Bible (Gen 10: 19), extended “from Sidon as thou comest to Gerar unto Gaza and goest unto
Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zoboim, even unto Lasha.”
This is the land that was known as North-Eastern Africa.
Those who may still be in doubt that the Canaanites were Africans and that the land of Canaan
was African land let us turn to the Bible, again, to establish who Canaan and his descendants
were.
The Bible (Gen: 10:20) says the sons of Ham and their families, countries and nations which
they lived in and ruled were Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.
Ham is an African man in the Bible.
His sons cannot be white.
Cush ruled the Sudan.
Sudan is in Africa.
It is called the Land of Cush.
Mizraim ruled Egypt.
Egypt is also called Mizraim in the Bible and also the Land of Ham (Psalm: 105: 23-27).
Egypt is in Africa not in Europe.
Its people are Africans, not Europeans.
Phut ruled the whole land known today as Libya.
Libya is in Africa not Europe.
The Libyans, excluding the Arabs there, are the descendants of Phut, son of Ham, an African in
the Bible.
His descendants are Africans, not white.
Canaan is the son of Ham, an African.
The land he ruled was named after him as the Land of Canaan.
It is in North-Eastern Africa, not Europe.
His descendants are named after him as Canaanites in the Bible.
They are Africans not white.
The Bible is so clear that the people, countries and nations in the Bible belonged to Africa and
Africans, not to Europe and Europeans.
The accompanying maps help corroborate this.
