So what you're saying is that he was speaking about an India that he didn't know about?

Herodotus wasn't an expert on India, he merely made some observations about the places he visited and much of the histories was based on word of mouth and second hand sources. We know a lot more today than we knew back then.
You're basically saying that Ethiopians went to India and magically assumed a new identity, language, and culture for reasons unknown, and the only proof of this you offer up are outdated opinions from people based on skin color...sorry, but that wont do.

Oh I see. And the other historians were wrong as well. Makes sense.

What do present day historians have to say about it?
Human beings probably arrived into South Asia from Africa about 50-60,000 years ago. After that they developed on their own, the Indus Valley civilization arose around 6,000 years ago. There is 0 evidence that it was an "Ethiopian colony."
@GetInTheTruck what I would like to know is why are you guys so upset because Jesus was black? You asked for biblical & historical proof & it was given. You refuse to accept it. Why? just admit that you were taught wrong...
Why would anyone be upset? He's a dead man who was suppossedly killed thousands of years ago. The only thing that somewhat upsets me is the poorly structured arguments that you and co. are presenting.

You haven't proven anything aside from the fact that Jesus was dark skinned...which is already pretty much self-evident, but that doesn't make him an African. The Hebrews weren't Africans.
and I'm not upset I just find topics like this interesting and fun to comment in
Your boy up there is saying dumb ass shyt like Ethiopians colonized Asia and I'm supposed to take y'all seriously

if you don't accept biblical proof there is nothing more I can do for you. sorry
What biblical proof? Vague references to a skin color that is shared by the majority of the planet?
An African who is all about his native roots and culture wouldn't give two shyts about Jesus. That's what's ironic.
I'm not concerned with calling Jesus and African. My issue & the bible proves this...is that he was black with woolly hair. He lived outside of Africa so technically he may have called himself something else. I don't care about any of those region labels.
All I care about is that Jesus was black & scripture proves that. Black people in general have dark skin and woolly hair, same as Jesus. We are the only people on the planet with hair like that combined with dark skin.
There is a long-standing hypothesis that the selection for lighter skin due to higher vitamin D absorption occurred soon after the Out of Africa migration some time before 40,000 years ago.A number of researchers disagree with this and suggest that the northern latitudes permitted enough synthesis of vitamin D combined with food sources from hunting to keep populations healthy, and only when agriculture was adopted was there a need for lighter skin to maximize the synthesis of vitamin D. The theory suggests that the reduction of game meat, fish, and some plants from the diet resulted in skin turning light many thousands of years after settlement in Eurasia.[66] This theory is supported by a study into the SLC24A5 gene, which found that the allelle associated with light skin in Europe may have originated as recently as 12,000–6,000 years ago
Also, lets note that these were the blackest group of humans in history.... they arrived in asia and mated with each other and originally ONLY populated the areas that allowed them to maintain a similar diet -
This, along with scientific evidence that shows that any skin changes (and most facial characteristic and hair changes) would only occur over 10's of thousands of years - and only occur at the adoption of agriculture so the skin could maximize the synthesis of vit D. We only had that type of agriculture 20k years ago............ and only had it 10K years ago if you wanna believe European scientist that wish to take credit away from the first African civilizations that predated Sumer.
So, God himself would have needed to use all his magical powers and his creators powers and his creators creators powers to turn the populations of ancient east and south asia into something we wouldn't call 'black african'. Even in the most racist places like India.. 300 million people still exist from the original people of that land - the ones who were there before recent invasions and class systems. Another 200 million... might as fukkin well be black as they are wayyyy darker than I could ever be with a tan. The population there is 1 billion. ijs.
Does it really matter at this point who started what. Currently Christianity is used by whites to make black people feel bad about getting rich, attaining power and taking their place in the world as competitors.

the blackest Dravidian in India is as genetically related to Africans as the whitest European.
same goes for the Australian Aborigines.
