TYIMBA, YOU ARE RIGHT, MANY AFRICANS DO NOT BELIEVE THE FLOOD DESTROYED THE ENTIRE EARTH BUT MAINLY THE MIDDLE EAST, WHEN THE ICE OF EUROPE BEGAN TO MELT AND THE ICE AGE DISSIPATED.

In fact the myth of Ham, Shem and Jepeth is just that, a myth and one of the primary contributors to the jealous, envious racism that one finds in the religious texts of the Hebrews particularly the lie called "the curse of Ham."

This great lie was concocted by the Hebrews while they were in exile in Babylon or Persia. These stories were created out of jealousy and envy of Blacks. The Hebrews are said to have been one group of people who entered Egypt during the time of the Hyksos (Hyk-Shasu) invasion. (Seee Black History Chart," at http://community.webtv.net/nubianem )

The facts are that during the 1700's B.C. to 1600's B.C., the Hyksos who were Semitic invaders from the deserts of Arabia invaded Egypt. They were called 'Shepard Kings." During that same time it is said that that the Jacob and his brothers entered Egypt, there were about twelve of them. After many years, they grew and they were enslaved. That is what the bible presents, however the historical fact is that the Hyksos who were Semites, ravaged, raped, destroyed, and trashed Egypt until they were defeated by Ahmose (see Black Warriors, Gods and Kings," at http://community.webtv.net/nubianem2

After the Hyksos armies and administration were defeated, those who remained in Egypt were enslaved and that is when the story of the Hebrew enslavement comes about. Due to the hatred and envy of the Black Egyptians, the Hebrews begant to create anti-Black religious mythology. These myths were passed down from generation to generation and is at the core of racism in the Middle East, Europe, the Americas and anywhere there is the religious influence of the Semites.

What may be the fact is that the flood affected the region of the Mediterranean and the rest of the world without Ice such as Central and Southern Africa remained dry. Therefore, these regions had people, culture and civilization. If one takes a picture of north Africa in outer space, one will clearly see a great trench that passes from THE Atlantic to the land of Egypt as if this area was a gigantic lake or Sea. In fact, the Sahara did have a gigantic Inland Sea in ancient times. Added to that, civilizations many times older than Egypt also existed in the Sahara.

Anyway, the History Channel dealt with the issue of how the story of Ham, Shem, Jepeth came about.
