    A British map engraver/cartographer from the 18th century went to what was known at the time as “Negroland”, that is Africa, and created a map in 1747 also named “Negroland”. On this map you can see a “km of Juda”, that is, the kingdom of Judah, near the “slave coast” or in West Africa where present day Benin/Nigeria is. Past scholars have said that this kingdom and its name has no correlation to the Ancient Israelites but other historical evidence tells a different story:

    In 1888 a French writer by the name of Elisee Reclus wrote about this same kingdom after visiting it saying this in his book: The Europeans have designated by various names of Fida, Hwedah, Whydah, Ouida: the region ancient authors called “Juda” the inhabitants were called the ‘Judaic’ and indeed they were regarded as a remnant of the lost tribes of Israel.”

    Colonization and colonialism is well known. During those times European conquerors would change the names of entire peoples and their kingdoms. The Kingdom of juda was then renamed by the English as Whydah, the Dutch named it Fida, and the Portuguese named it Ajuda for some examples.

    However, Elisee Reclus clearly states that although the name was changed, the “ancient authors” called it Juda. Those “ancient authors” Reclus refers to is the authors of the Hebrew Bible which is also why he states “the inhabitants were called the ‘Judaic’ and indeed they were regarded as a remnant of the lost tribes of Israel.”

    French writer Elisee Reclus makes it clear that the people residing in this West African kingdom called the kingdom of juda are of Judaic descent , the remnant of the tribes of Israel.

    This remnant in present day are known as the ibo tribe in present day Nigeria. These people today still claim they descend from the ancient Israelites. These people were victims of a slave trade which saw its people stripped from them and sent over the Atlantic to a foreign land through what is known as the Atlantic slave trade. Those victims today are known as “African American” because like the colonialism/colonization of former times, the identity of these people and their culture was stripped from them.

    Kyrie understands what this means and the implications of it.
