⁣VIDEO DESCRIPTION — “Israelites from Egypt to the Diaspora (Routes)”
This video traces the real historical migration arc of the Israelites after the fall of their homeland — following the refugees who fled from Jerusalem into Egypt, then continued deeper into Africa, Arabia, and the Mediterranean over the next 2,000 years.
Beginning with the Assyrian and Babylonian invasions, we follow the surviving Judean remnant as they escape into Tahpanhes, Migdol, Pathros, and Elephantine, forming communities along the Nile. From there, the story expands into the wider Afro‑Mediterranean world: Nubia, Kush, Cyrene, Libya, the Sahara trade routes, Carthage, and later West Africa.
This route became one of the largest and least‑discussed dispersions in ancient history — shaping populations across North Africa, the Sahel, and the Mediterranean long before the Roman period and long before the trans‑Atlantic era.
The video breaks down:
The flight from Judah into Egypt (Jeremiah 42–44)
Israelite communities in Lower & Upper Egypt
Movements into Nubia, Kush, and Sudan
Spread into Libya, Cyrene, and Carthage
Sahara‑crossing routes into Sahel and West Africa
Mediterranean dispersions into Iberia, Greece, and Rome
How these routes shaped later diaspora identities
This is the full migration arc — from the fall of Jerusalem to the formation of African‑Israelite communities across the continent and beyond
