Were the Ancient Persians Black? Shushan Palace Evidence, Cush, Nimrod & Hebrew Connections

Описание: Were the ancient Persians black people?

Why don’t we openly discuss the figures painted on the palace walls of Susa (biblical Shushan)?

And what does the biblical word Cush actually mean?

In Hebrew, Cush (כּוּשׁ) is traditionally translated into English as “Ethiopia” in many older Bible versions — but the term historically referred more broadly to lands south of Egypt, often associated with Nubia and regions of northeast Africa. The word has long been connected with darker-skinned populations in ancient sources. That context matters.

In this eye-opening breakdown, we examine the famous Achaemenid Archer Relief (also called the Frieze of Archers), commissioned under Darius I and now housed in the Louvre Museum. These elite royal guards of the Persian Empire are often presented without serious conversation about ethnic diversity in the ancient Near East. Why?

We also explore:

• Nimrod as a Cushite ruler in Genesis 10
• The relationship between Elamites and Abraham’s lineage
• The diversity of the ancient Persian Empire
• How modern racial categories don’t always fit ancient realities
• Why this discussion matters for African Americans exploring possible ancient Israelite connections

You’ll also hear perspective from a modern-day Persian from Iran, alongside reference to Ken Ham, whose teachings have influenced many Western Christian views of early post-Flood history.

This isn’t about rewriting history emotionally.
It’s about examining language, archaeology, scripture, and identity honestly.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the ancient world was more diverse than we’ve been told — this conversation is for you.
