by the 4th Century AD, israel and egypt had drawn many empires from around the world, and many of them came to rule and implement their system. like during the time of jesus, it was roman israel and roman egypt, and the edomite, pharisee, and chief priests who previously were in power, and governed under the romans, had to deal with that pressure and threat from the romans in fear of a total domination by the romans, which jesus saw coming, so the leaders of the jews made the decision that he should be martyred/crucified so that they could attempt to save the nation from the romans, who ended up taking it anyways, and destroying the temple around 70 ad. they also dominated in egypt, and Mark the Evangelist was martyred in a similar way, when the battle for power and nation became more important to the leaders than the will of god to bring his word and righteousness to earth. before the romans were the greek power structure, and before them were the persian, assyrian, and babylonian power structures respectively. the assyrians conquered the Nubian rule of egypt and surrounding areas around the 8th century bc, s indicated in isaiah 20 and the neo assyrian empire who originated in the iraq area, before conquered by babylon, and later making allies with them. most of the dark skin or black people were called nubians, cushites, or ethiopians, which in greek means men with faces burned or blackened from the sun as in song of solomon 1:5-6, even if there were from egypt, or nubia, including sudan and south egypt, which is why many of the early biblical characters who were black were known as ethiopians, and later cyrenians under the greek slave system, even if they were not directly descended of ethiopians, though it is believed that ethiopia is the birth place of the black man and woman and black civilization. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_the_Black
