⁣Melanin is a natural pigment found in our skin, hair, and eyes, and it offers several important benefits:
Protection from UV Rays: Melanin acts as a natural sunscreen by absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, reducing the risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
Antioxidant Properties: It helps neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), harmful byproducts of cellular processes that can lead to oxidative stress and premature aging.
Regulation of Body Temperature: Melanin plays a role in regulating body temperature by absorbing heat3.
Immune System Support: It contributes to the immune system by protecting against certain diseases.
Despite all this scientific, historical, and biblical evidence, there has been considerable pushback and attempts to distort the history of Egypt and the biblical people. Scholars and some historians have tried to downplay the African roots of these civilizations, often due to racial biases and Eurocentric perspectives. However, the archaeological and textual evidence remains clear: Africa and its people have been integral to the history and narratives of the Bible.
