Fantastic lecture. If my high school history teachers were half as interesting as Dr. Abramson, I would not have done homework for other classes during History classes, while pretending to be taking notes. Hey, part of learning is time management :)
Professor Abramsom can you be so kind to tell me where the white Jewish come into been Are those the one that emigrated from the land of Egypt .. if we are looking for the Jewish identity It should be also that info included ?
No, the people of Egypt are the decedent of ham. These people are writing a fairy tale. The truth is the children of Ham are the original people of Egypt, says the bible.
I don’t understand how Mr. Abramson could be a quote on quote Jewish historian and totally disregard the curses/prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:68 placed upon the true Hebrews. The Hebrews went into captivity twice, once in Egypt and again by ship to a land which they knew not, sold to their enemies as slaves..its only one group of ppl that match that prophecy, I will allow you to ponder whom that is.. Little nugget for you, the current European Jewish stock are mere converts from the 9th century under the Kazar King Bulan...Never have they been in bondage 400yrs. Shalom Ahavah to the chosen.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD yes of course, so now the very Torah/Bible is silly conspiracy. Elohim wishes to conspire against the converts I suppose...WOW, now thats a ground breaking revelation. Shalom, shalom
@@lelelambert4023 I certainly did..Its just so sad how they disregard the location and region of Israel. There is no middle east, Israel is north east Africa. As far as the identity of the ppl, the bible confirms the identical resemblance of the Egyptians and Israelites. But i suppose he also thinks the Egyptians were pale as well...lol. Revelations 2:9, Rev 3:9, states it best whom they are and what's going to happen to them and those on earth that perpetuate the false narrative. It won't be pretty.
@@TH-rp7tv Elohim never referred to Esau as white, he referred to him as Ruddy...And it was already evident his brother Jacob was dark complexioned just as his father Issac
So far this is my favorite of his lectures, and I've watched many. Do NOT miss this one! How tragic that the historians were themselves martyrs. I can't get my head around that. But in the presentation it is just a footnote because persecution of Jews is such a given. So sad.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD Hello Dr. Abramson. I love your content, but the comment section is always turned off when you discuss African or Black Jews, so I never have the opportunity to inquire. My question is, do you have any meaningful information about the Jews that were forced into slavery from Portugal in the 1500's? I understand they were sent to Africa, specifically San Tome and Angola. Were they African or European? And can you shed light on the racial diversity of Jews, if there was any, in Portugal and Spain during this same time period? Thanks in advance.
Here’s my routine.I wake up at about 3 am,use my iPad to put on an lecture about ancient Israel and the exodus from wildly different sources and am usually asleep in 20 minutes.It didn’t work with you.I may not get a good nights sleep for a long time.ugh.thanks a lot google!
I came to hear Jewish history, in reference to the bible. I was hoping to hear proof of the parting of the Red Sea , but I love history and I did hear things that caught me ear. I will continue to listen to other lectures.
Very strange that Dr. Abramson doesn't begin with the "shashu of Yahweh" inscription in Amenhotep III's temple at Soleb. Amenhotep III (father of Akhenaten; grandfather of Tutankhamun) is Pharaoh of Egypt (ruled: 1388 to 1351 BC). This according to Exodus is the name of the Hebrew God and first given to Moses to reveal to the Israelites and Pharaoh. These people of Yahweh already reside in Canaan during Amenhotep III reign. These are the Hebrews before they became the nation of Israel. Yahweh precedes Akhenaten's "one" god in Egypt. It is interesting to note that Amenhotep III's father only became Pharaoh because the first born prince died unexpectedly. That could mean that Amenhotep II (ruled: 1454 - 1419 BC), reigning during the zenith of Egyptian military power, was the Pharaoh of the Exodus and his first born died during the Passover.
Not that strange, he regularly omits important information (especially in an abbreviated crash course format that covers many centuries in 60 minutes). I asked him about this, however, and he told me that he couldn't even find Shasu in K.A. Kitchen's index, nor does the discussion of the inscription appear in the Encyclopedia Judaica, two go-to reference sources. The Wikipedia article summarizes some of the problems associating this inscription with Jewish history (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shasu); in his opinion (okay, it's actually me writing this, but it is fun to use the third person about myself) for now the Merneptah Stele seems to be the earliest reliable non-Biblical reference to Israel. Thanks for your valuable observation!
@@HenryAbramsonPhD First wow, you responding, But I've seen pictures of the inscription at Soleb. Are you saying they are fake? (I don't know hieroglyphics - so I'm relying on others translation work). There are only two places that Yahweh is identified this early on. The other is the Bible/Torah. If this inscription is real, then shouldn't this be the lynch pin of all discussions of Israeli history. From a secular view - this is direct reference to Moses/Aaron (indirectly).
Yahweh is a Horite God from Seir/Edom/Petra/Bozrah. The land of Uz/Oz.. If Noah's Ark lands on Mt Ararat, life had to begin in that region which is Hurrians. Hurrians are Horites.

This Horite line takes you to Jesus.. Salmon BOAZ Obed Jesse David.. Christ Jesus the Horite.. The Horites, called Khar by the Egyptians, were ruler-priests who married chaste daughters of priests. Rahab of Jericho was the wife of Salmon the Horite, the Son of Hur (Hor). Salmon is called the "father of Bethlehem" in 1 Chronicles 2:54. Rahab became the grandmother of Boaz who married Ruth. Salmon (also Salma or Solomon) is a Horite name and is associated with Beit Lahna/Bethlehem and the Ephrathites (1 Chronicles 2:51). The evidence concerning David's ethnicity points to Kenites and Horites who intermarried. [edit]Sources ↑ Mt 1, 4 - ↑ Gerhard von Rad, Genesis: A Commentary, trans. by John H.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD I am 65% Canaanite and 35% Amorite according to MyTrueAncestry. 100% Levantine according to 23andMe. Yet my ancestors identify as Arab and have always been Christian. How do you explain this?
When he mentions Hellenistic culture and math there is a sudden cut! He was about to say in conjunction with arabs? Is this so? Did they censor his talk?
Commercials way too often. That's a shame, would like to hear more and learn but I'll look for another lecture. It's just too annoying with this many ads.
What an amazing lecture! I was totally riveted to each and every word and concept. In one hour, you made things clearer to me about Jewish history than ever before (NOT that I am a scholar).
Your Powerpoints are amazing, or whatever software you use to make them, the maps are perfect, everything is clear and so well presented and the transitions are perfect...
Great channel. My Dad was a psychiatrist, so it's probably no surprise that many of our closest family friends were Jewish and it remains so today. He was "almost" in WWII and he named me David. I once asked him if my name was sort of a repudiation of the holocaust, and also that Iwe have a very German last name. The answer was "yes."
Dr. Douglas Petrovich has done some fairly recent and amazing archeological work proving the evidence of the Exodus and even connecting things to very specific people including Jacob, Joseph, Ephraim, and Menassah.
He misspoke. The Essenes did not "live in places like the Qumran caves." (50:19) Historians think the Essenes live in a settlement near the caves (there is definitely an Hellenistic period settlement, it is debated whether that was where the Essenes lived, but that seems likely). The caves were just where they hid their scrolls because they are hard to get to.
How are Ashkenazi jews the biblical jews if their lineage goes back to Japheth according to genesis 10? Why would they amalgamate the names of two separate lineages? Does jewish oral tradition supersede written?
1) Ashkenazim trace their lineage (like all Jews) to Shem, not Japheth. 2) Why would you say they amalgamate? The notion developed in Rabbinic literature is that Greek culture (Japheth) has a place in Jewish culture (the tents of Shem). 3) Too complex a question for here. See lectures on the Mishnah.
@@rilla1983 Oh, I see what you're getting at. Ashkenazi Jews derive the name from the place they associate with the descendants of Ashkenaz: primarily northern Germany and eastern Europe. Kind of like I'm a Canadian Jew because I come from Canada. That doesn't mean my ancestors were Canadian.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD hmmm interesting. Ashkenaz is a lineage. When did jews take on the name of a land where in they were scattered. When did they refer to themselves as jews with another lineage attached? For instance,, when they where in the land of cush,, when did they attach the name of that geographical region to their ethnicity and from that point being referred to as cushitic jews? Where can I find this in the bible?
@@rilla1983 The phenomenon is more post-Biblical, although there are isolated examples of individual Jews who are known by their extra-territorial origins. Post-biblically, besides Ashkenazic and Sefardic Jews (from Sefarad, a land they associated with Spain), you have Mizrachi Jews ("Eastern"), and many others.
It is so nice to see a religious scholar open to learning and not just shoehorning data to fit their world view. I am so used to new earth creationists trying to twist data to fit the bible. It is nice go see someone talk about what the actual data shows. Also, from what I understand, trephination was actually a fairly safe procedure, relativley speaking. It is also still done today for some ailments, not to release the spirits, but sometimes you need fo relieve pressure on the brain.
Also not Jewish, but can we all give some props to an outstanding & enlightening presentation! +1 +1 +1 ...It's my sincere hope that if we could all learn & share a bit about our backgrounds and cultures in this way, maybe (just maybe), we could find a way to live in peace with mutual respect.
Look up the Sabbatean-Frankists (Rothschilds etc) that believe and follow the Lurian Kabbalah and its associated Messianic movement based after Sabbatai Zevi. Deep rabbit hole.
This gentleman is Dustin Hoffman doppelganger. His voice and his sense of humor, when I heard him without looking I could have sworn it was the famous comedian.
Dr. Abramson, I'm enjoying your information, however, the comments section is always turned off when you speak of African or Black Jews, so I don't have the opportunity to inquire on those particular videos. My question is, do you have any meaningful information about Jews who were forced into slavery directly from Portugal? Specifically those sent to San Tome, and Angola/ Luango? Were these Jews African or were they European? Additionally, can you comment on the race diversity of the Jews in Spain and Portugal during the period around 1500's?
@@HenryAbramsonPhD In Syria it seems, the Amorite elite rebranded as the Semitic Arameans (Ahlamu) during the Late Bronze Age collapse. From then on, Amorite regions were known as Aram (Aramea). The Amorites are to the Arameans what the Vikings are to the Normans. People still associated Amorites with uncivilized raiders as only the aristocracy were originally considered Aramean. Abraham is an Aramean from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia. His son Isaac and grandson Jacob had Aramean wives (Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel). Paradoxically, the Source (transliterated YHWH) uses Arameans to oppress Israel (Judges 3:8) as a punishment for polytheism. The Aramean language replaced Akkadian, the standard lingua franca for over a thousand years. The Aramaic alphabet (8th-century BC) came from these Arameans, who adapted the Phoenician alphabet to make their distinct script. The Hebrew, Syriac, and Arabic alphabets come from their Aramaic variant (800 BC) of Phoenician. The Old Turkic alphabet comes from Aramaic. Aramaic formed the basis of all significant historical alphabets of Central Asia, such as the Sogdian and Mongolian alphabets. The Brahmi scripts of India also came from Aramaic. The Ionic variant of Aramaic (402 BC) became the Greek alphabet, and the Cumae variant became the Italic alphabet. The Runic alphabet came from Italic, and the Cyrillic alphabet came from medieval Greek.
Good / excellent historical presentation. Very informative for better understanding the role the Jews played between Mesopotamia and Mediterranean Semitic presence.

As an historian I've often wondered if Phillip had survived the coup and Alexander were usurped our people would have been able to maintain our cultural integrity.

I dont believe one bit you're a historian. Because almost everyone with any kind of real credibility in history would tell you the whole bible and Torah is embellished bullshit
Great lecture. Perushim. I never heard that word (raised Christian). The church denomination I grew up in did a lot to demonize most of them (as Pharisees, although the church really didn't like Sadducees at all). Great intro lecture, thank you.
Shalom, i find it interesting that your timeline from creation to 200ce in such a short distance as to suggest your(Ashkenazi/Kazar) history goes back to creation. in fact and truth, the children of Peleg(decedent of Shem) are not related to the Japhetic line of Gomer. Also in truth as we are in your season of Hanukkah or feast of Dedication it is actually the beginning of the greek and roman overtaking and dedicating the temple to JUDEAISM the Talmud(not the Torah/Tanak) as explained in your book of Maccabees 1 and 2. 167 b.c. the history of Judaism with the introduction of Hesmodians than Herodians. your presentation works from this timeline of 167 b.c. as the history of the jewish ppl. in my humble opinion. Pls guide me in understanding why in the torah the lineage goes through the Father, but you go by Maternal? is that how you connect your blood to Shem and the seed of Jacob?
The Torah traces lineage through the father, and he and many like him; trace lineage through the mother because they don't believe the bible. If he is not speaking God words, then who's words are they speaking? Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Numbers 1:18 “And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their 👉🏾fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.”
Ashkenazi Jews have nothing to do with Yafet or Ashkenaz since they are descended from Shem, like other Jews. They are named Ashkenazi Jews since when they were exiled from Israel by the Romans they moved into the REGION called Ashkenaz. Thus Ashkenazi is a GEOGRAPHIC label, not a genealogical one. Why do black Germans call themselves German?Because they were born and raised in Germany. Why do Jewish Germans call themselves Ashkenaz? Because they were in Germany for hundreds of years. Ashkenaz is (kind of) the word for German in Hebrew. So Jews from Germany are called ashkenaz, wether or whether not they originate from there all the way up the line. (Which they don't) Why are African Americans called “American”? Why are black Puerto Ricans/Cubans called Puerto Rican/Cuban? These questions can go on forever. Identifying with a place you were born in doesn't necessarily mean you are indigenous of that place. Here is a link to a peer reviewed genetic analysis that has proven unequivocally that Ashkanaz Jews originated from the Levant and have no Caucasus or Khazars genetic similarities. www.samj.org.za/index.php/samj/article/view/7297/5714
Great overview, with details that lead to more interesting “digs.” We’re following the Ray Vander Laan curriculum in our Christian Bible class, so archaeology is a big part of our studies. Hellenism is not viewed in a positive light in that course, and your explanation of its influence on early Judaism helps to explain a lot, including the inner divisions. And I am very interested in the early Jewish communities and you covered that, as well. I look forward to the second lecture. I’m reading John Barton’s “A History of the Bible,” so this reinforces the overall framework. Thank you.
A spider emerges from the egg knowing how to spin an elaborate web. Is genetic memory in living things including humans that ridiculous of an idea? I found your lecture fascinating. Thank you!
I'm an historian. And history happened. It didn't cease to have happened because it is now passed through time. So When you claim that you are teaching a history by announcing there is none is blatently false.
Some remarkably familiar and constant themes there. If Jews could stop fighting each other, what could they achieve? It's hard not to think of "The Life of Brian" at some points.
1 Samuel 10:6 (KJV) And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ephesians 3:16 (KJV) That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Romans 2:28 (KJV) For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Can you explain why Jewish historians are preoccupied with Jewish or Hebrew historical presence in the Mediterranean regions without mention of Mesopotamian origins of Hebrews or pre-Judaic semites which includes many peoples who may not have much to do with early exodus ending as Mediterranean Jews or Hebrews in later times.
Sorry but using the term Haredim for a sect or movement at this point in history is so confusing for my tiny brain. I once met a Christian who believed Jesus was a Hasidic Jew. I did my best to correct his understanding of the historical Jesus. And tried to describe how the modern Haredim and Hasidic movement came into being. I did my degree in religious studies a long time ago, my knowledge has certainly taken a dip since then.

No, that’s completely inaccurate, how do you explain modern generic research on ashkenazi jews?
No, the people of Egypt are the decedent of ham. These people are writing a fairy tale. The truth is the children of Ham are the original people of Egypt, says the bible.
Great presentation, thanks for putting it on youtube.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This lecture was phenomenal! Bravo
I don’t understand how Mr. Abramson could be a quote on quote Jewish historian and totally disregard the curses/prophecy in Deuteronomy 28:68 placed upon the true Hebrews. The Hebrews went into captivity twice, once in Egypt and again by ship to a land which they knew not, sold to their enemies as slaves..its only one group of ppl that match that prophecy, I will allow you to ponder whom that is.. Little nugget for you, the current European Jewish stock are mere converts from the 9th century under the Kazar King Bulan...Never have they been in bondage 400yrs. Shalom Ahavah to the chosen.
This is a very brief lecture. No time for silly conspiracy theories.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD yes of course, so now the very Torah/Bible is silly conspiracy. Elohim wishes to conspire against the converts I suppose...WOW, now thats a ground breaking revelation. Shalom, shalom
@@lelelambert4023 I certainly did..Its just so sad how they disregard the location and region of Israel. There is no middle east, Israel is north east Africa. As far as the identity of the ppl, the bible confirms the identical resemblance of the Egyptians and Israelites. But i suppose he also thinks the Egyptians were pale as well...lol. Revelations 2:9, Rev 3:9, states it best whom they are and what's going to happen to them and those on earth that perpetuate the false narrative. It won't be pretty.
If that's true, then how do twins receive one of each color? Jacob would be black, and Esau, white? How many twins do you know that are one of each?
@@TH-rp7tv Elohim never referred to Esau as white, he referred to him as Ruddy...And it was already evident his brother Jacob was dark complexioned just as his father Issac
Beautiful lecture. Greetings to you from Babylon

So far this is my favorite of his lectures, and I've watched many. Do NOT miss this one! How tragic that the historians were themselves martyrs. I can't get my head around that. But in the presentation it is just a footnote because persecution of Jews is such a given. So sad.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD Hello Dr. Abramson. I love your content, but the comment section is always turned off when you discuss African or Black Jews, so I never have the opportunity to inquire.
My question is, do you have any meaningful information about the Jews that were forced into slavery from Portugal in the 1500's?
I understand they were sent to Africa, specifically San Tome and Angola. Were they African or European?
And can you shed light on the racial diversity of Jews, if there was any, in Portugal and Spain during this same time period?
Thanks in advance.
Here’s my routine.I wake up at about 3 am,use my iPad to put on an lecture about ancient Israel and the exodus from wildly different sources and am usually asleep in 20 minutes.It didn’t work with you.I may not get a good nights sleep for a long time.ugh.thanks a lot google!
I think you are following the system first introduced by King Ahaseurus in Esther chapter 6.
I came to hear Jewish history, in reference to the bible. I was hoping to hear proof of the parting of the Red Sea , but I love history and I did hear things that caught me ear. I will continue to listen to other lectures.
Very strange that Dr. Abramson doesn't begin with the "shashu of Yahweh" inscription in Amenhotep III's temple at Soleb. Amenhotep III (father of Akhenaten; grandfather of Tutankhamun) is Pharaoh of Egypt (ruled: 1388 to 1351 BC). This according to Exodus is the name of the Hebrew God and first given to Moses to reveal to the Israelites and Pharaoh. These people of Yahweh already reside in Canaan during Amenhotep III reign. These are the Hebrews before they became the nation of Israel. Yahweh precedes Akhenaten's "one" god in Egypt. It is interesting to note that Amenhotep III's father only became Pharaoh because the first born prince died unexpectedly. That could mean that Amenhotep II (ruled: 1454 - 1419 BC), reigning during the zenith of Egyptian military power, was the Pharaoh of the Exodus and his first born died during the Passover.
Not that strange, he regularly omits important information (especially in an abbreviated crash course format that covers many centuries in 60 minutes). I asked him about this, however, and he told me that he couldn't even find Shasu in K.A. Kitchen's index, nor does the discussion of the inscription appear in the Encyclopedia Judaica, two go-to reference sources. The Wikipedia article summarizes some of the problems associating this inscription with Jewish history (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shasu); in his opinion (okay, it's actually me writing this, but it is fun to use the third person about myself) for now the Merneptah Stele seems to be the earliest reliable non-Biblical reference to Israel. Thanks for your valuable observation!
@@HenryAbramsonPhD First wow, you responding, But I've seen pictures of the inscription at Soleb. Are you saying they are fake? (I don't know hieroglyphics - so I'm relying on others translation work). There are only two places that Yahweh is identified this early on. The other is the Bible/Torah. If this inscription is real, then shouldn't this be the lynch pin of all discussions of Israeli history. From a secular view - this is direct reference to Moses/Aaron (indirectly).
Yahweh is a Horite God from Seir/Edom/Petra/Bozrah. The land of Uz/Oz..

Christ Jesus the Horite..
The Horites, called Khar by the Egyptians, were ruler-priests who married chaste daughters of priests. Rahab of Jericho was the wife of Salmon the Horite, the Son of Hur (Hor). Salmon is called the "father of Bethlehem" in 1 Chronicles 2:54. Rahab became the grandmother of Boaz who married Ruth. Salmon (also Salma or Solomon) is a Horite name and is associated with Beit Lahna/Bethlehem and the Ephrathites (1 Chronicles 2:51). The evidence concerning David's ethnicity points to Kenites and Horites who intermarried.

Thank YOU FOR EXPLAINING JEWISH HISTORY. I'M A CHRISTIAN. God bless
My pleasure!
@@HenryAbramsonPhD I am 65% Canaanite and 35% Amorite according to MyTrueAncestry. 100% Levantine according to 23andMe. Yet my ancestors identify as Arab and have always been Christian. How do you explain this?
That pat you gave yourself was well deserved. Thank you
When he mentions Hellenistic culture and math there is a sudden cut! He was about to say in conjunction with arabs? Is this so? Did they censor his talk?
Commercials way too often.
That's a shame, would like to hear more and learn but I'll look for another lecture. It's just too annoying with this many ads.
I had to stop at about 30%, because the ads were many and intrusive.
What an amazing lecture! I was totally riveted to each and every word and concept. In one hour, you made things clearer to me about Jewish history than ever before (NOT that I am a scholar).
Professor Abramson, you have some troubling commercials during your videos. You may want to look into that.
Your Powerpoints are amazing, or whatever software you use to make them, the maps are perfect, everything is clear and so well presented and the transitions are perfect...
Thank you! Prezi.com
It was also for relieving pressure in the skull from an injury for trepanation
Amazing lecture, thanks
Great channel. My Dad was a psychiatrist, so it's probably no surprise that many of our closest family friends were Jewish and it remains so today. He was "almost" in WWII and he named me David. I once asked him if my name was sort of a repudiation of the holocaust, and also that Iwe have a very German last name. The answer was "yes."
Dr. Douglas Petrovich has done some fairly recent and amazing archeological work proving the evidence of the Exodus and even connecting things to very specific people including Jacob, Joseph, Ephraim, and Menassah.
He misspoke. The Essenes did not "live in places like the Qumran caves." (50:19) Historians think the Essenes live in a settlement near the caves (there is definitely an Hellenistic period settlement, it is debated whether that was where the Essenes lived, but that seems likely). The caves were just where they hid their scrolls because they are hard to get to.
How are Ashkenazi jews the biblical jews if their lineage goes back to Japheth according to genesis 10?
Why would they amalgamate the names of two separate lineages?
Does jewish oral tradition supersede written?
1) Ashkenazim trace their lineage (like all Jews) to Shem, not Japheth.
2) Why would you say they amalgamate? The notion developed in Rabbinic literature is that Greek culture (Japheth) has a place in Jewish culture (the tents of Shem).
3) Too complex a question for here. See lectures on the Mishnah.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD genesis 10 traces Ashkenaz to Japhet. Thats why
@@rilla1983 Oh, I see what you're getting at. Ashkenazi Jews derive the name from the place they associate with the descendants of Ashkenaz: primarily northern Germany and eastern Europe. Kind of like I'm a Canadian Jew because I come from Canada. That doesn't mean my ancestors were Canadian.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD hmmm interesting. Ashkenaz is a lineage. When did jews take on the name of a land where in they were scattered. When did they refer to themselves as jews with another lineage attached? For instance,, when they where in the land of cush,, when did they attach the name of that geographical region to their ethnicity and from that point being referred to as cushitic jews? Where can I find this in the bible?
@@rilla1983 The phenomenon is more post-Biblical, although there are isolated examples of individual Jews who are known by their extra-territorial origins. Post-biblically, besides Ashkenazic and Sefardic Jews (from Sefarad, a land they associated with Spain), you have Mizrachi Jews ("Eastern"), and many others.
Great lecture!

It is so nice to see a religious scholar open to learning and not just shoehorning data to fit their world view. I am so used to new earth creationists trying to twist data to fit the bible. It is nice go see someone talk about what the actual data shows.

Also thank you!
Amen to that!
Very interesting lecture. How do you feel about David Rohl's revised timeline which would seem to fit better with the archeological evidence?
The debate on the timeline is still pretty lively.
I am not Jewish but I find this lecture very very good and most interesting.
I am a Christian American and I was taught by my Grandparents to pray for and bless Isreal, they were Christian Pastors.
Look up the Sabbatean-Frankists (Rothschilds etc) that believe and follow the Lurian Kabbalah and its associated Messianic movement based after Sabbatai Zevi. Deep rabbit hole.

Dr. Abramson, have you looked into Dr. Rohl's new chronology? Also, the finding of twelve tombs in the city of Avaris, Egypt.
are you going to remake those ancient personalities that you deleted
Dr. Abramson, I'm enjoying your information, however, the comments section is always turned off when you speak of African or Black Jews, so I don't have the opportunity to inquire on those particular videos.
My question is, do you have any meaningful information about Jews who were forced into slavery directly from Portugal? Specifically those sent to San Tome, and Angola/ Luango?
Were these Jews African or were they European?
Additionally, can you comment on the race diversity of the Jews in Spain and Portugal during the period around 1500's?
I’m surprised my self the comments were disabled . By the he won’t ever answer that question either . We all know why …
@@Alunezz1o
Dr Abramson, can you cover the Amorites?
Maybe in a future series.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD In Syria it seems, the Amorite elite rebranded as the Semitic Arameans (Ahlamu) during the Late Bronze Age collapse. From then on, Amorite regions were known as Aram (Aramea). The Amorites are to the Arameans what the Vikings are to the Normans. People still associated Amorites with uncivilized raiders as only the aristocracy were originally considered Aramean.
Abraham is an Aramean from the city of Ur in Mesopotamia. His son Isaac and grandson Jacob had Aramean wives (Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel). Paradoxically, the Source (transliterated YHWH) uses Arameans to oppress Israel (Judges 3:8) as a punishment for polytheism.
The Aramean language replaced Akkadian, the standard lingua franca for over a thousand years. The Aramaic alphabet (8th-century BC) came from these Arameans, who adapted the Phoenician alphabet to make their distinct script.
The Hebrew, Syriac, and Arabic alphabets come from their Aramaic variant (800 BC) of Phoenician. The Old Turkic alphabet comes from Aramaic. Aramaic formed the basis of all significant historical alphabets of Central Asia, such as the Sogdian and Mongolian alphabets. The Brahmi scripts of India also came from Aramaic. The Ionic variant of Aramaic (402 BC) became the Greek alphabet, and the Cumae variant became the Italic alphabet. The Runic alphabet came from Italic, and the Cyrillic alphabet came from medieval Greek.

How can you conclude ancient Jewish history without haplogroup L( mtdna)?In human mitochondrial genetics, L is the mitochondrial DNA macro-haplogroup that is at the root of the anatomically modern human (Homo sapiens) mtDNA phylogenetic tree. As such, it represents the most ancestral mitochondrial lineage of all currently living modern humans, also dubbed "Mitochondrial Eve".

As an historian I've often wondered if Phillip had survived the coup and Alexander were usurped our people would have been able to maintain our cultural integrity. Perhaps we never would have faced persecution of the Romans. Its recently occurred to me that we are still facing the consequences of imperialism. And I mean we as in human culture.
I dont believe one bit you're a historian. Because almost everyone with any kind of real credibility in history would tell you the whole bible and Torah is embellished bullshit
Great lecture. Perushim. I never heard that word (raised Christian). The church denomination I grew up in did a lot to demonize most of them (as Pharisees, although the church really didn't like Sadducees at all). Great intro lecture, thank you.

Shalom, i find it interesting that your timeline from creation to 200ce in such a short distance as to suggest your(Ashkenazi/Kazar) history goes back to creation. in fact and truth, the children of Peleg(decedent of Shem) are not related to the Japhetic line of Gomer. Also in truth as we are in your season of Hanukkah or feast of Dedication it is actually the beginning of the greek and roman overtaking and dedicating the temple to JUDEAISM the Talmud(not the Torah/Tanak) as explained in your book of Maccabees 1 and 2. 167 b.c. the history of Judaism with the introduction of Hesmodians than Herodians. your presentation works from this timeline of 167 b.c. as the history of the jewish ppl. in my humble opinion. Pls guide me in understanding why in the torah the lineage goes through the Father, but you go by Maternal? is that how you connect your blood to Shem and the seed of Jacob?
Hope you enjoyed the video.
The Torah traces lineage through the father, and he and many like him; trace lineage through the mother because they don't believe the bible. If he is not speaking God words, then who's words are they speaking?
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Might I add.
Numbers 1:18
“And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their 👉🏾fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.”
@@bigbendiesel
Jews follow the maternal line for being a jew. They follow the paternal line for tribal affiliation.
Ashkenazi Jews have nothing to do with Yafet or Ashkenaz since they are descended from Shem, like other Jews. They are named Ashkenazi Jews since when they were exiled from Israel by the Romans they moved into the REGION called Ashkenaz. Thus Ashkenazi is a GEOGRAPHIC label, not a genealogical one.
Why do black Germans call themselves German?Because they were born and raised in Germany. Why do Jewish Germans call themselves Ashkenaz? Because they were in Germany for hundreds of years.
Ashkenaz is (kind of) the word for German in Hebrew. So Jews from Germany are called ashkenaz, wether or whether not they originate from there all the way up the line. (Which they don't)
Why are African Americans called “American”? Why are black Puerto Ricans/Cubans called Puerto Rican/Cuban?
These questions can go on forever. Identifying with a place you were born in doesn't necessarily mean you are indigenous of that place.
Here is a link to a peer reviewed genetic analysis that has proven unequivocally that Ashkanaz Jews originated from the Levant and have no Caucasus or Khazars genetic similarities.

Thank you SO MUCH! I absolutely love your lectures, they are a treasure.
Great overview, with details that lead to more interesting “digs.” We’re following the Ray Vander Laan curriculum in our Christian Bible class, so archaeology is a big part of our studies. Hellenism is not viewed in a positive light in that course, and your explanation of its influence on early Judaism helps to explain a lot, including the inner divisions. And I am very interested in the early Jewish communities and you covered that, as well. I look forward to the second lecture. I’m reading John Barton’s “A History of the Bible,” so this reinforces the overall framework. Thank you.
A spider emerges from the egg knowing how to spin an elaborate web. Is genetic memory in living things including humans that ridiculous of an idea? I found your lecture fascinating. Thank you!

Can you explain why Jewish historians are preoccupied with Jewish or Hebrew historical presence in the Mediterranean regions without mention of Mesopotamian origins of Hebrews or pre-Judaic semites which includes many peoples who may not have much to do with early exodus ending as Mediterranean Jews or Hebrews in later times.
Sorry but using the term Haredim for a sect or movement at this point in history is so confusing for my tiny brain. I once met a Christian who believed Jesus was a Hasidic Jew. I did my best to correct his understanding of the historical Jesus. And tried to describe how the modern Haredim and Hasidic movement came into being. I did my degree in religious studies a long time ago, my knowledge has certainly taken a dip since then.
Thank you so much for your work, amazing. Highly appreciated. May Hashem bless you and yours for eternity.
