as far as i have studied those living around lake tana area had been there for years and mostly without interaction with Ithiopian society. i have seen a couple of interviews and read of them being asked about 'Israel', their reply was that they had heard of a place but did not know if it exsisted. of course there was the exodus of some of them to the Israeli "state" but years previous were they aware and did they know of it within a western/british judaic con-cept?

i do not mean to imply Ithiopian infallibility, just curious of how much the hyksos REALLY stole and how they manipulated it to suit them and their agenda. were the hyksos practicing judaism before the invasion of egypt? also, i have read of BLACK hebrew societies in assyria, mesopotamia, etc...from the beginnings of those societies. i don't know my dates very well so perhaps the way in which the things occured if listed on a time line would not make sense?
