In 1836, a knighted and renowned British orientalist, Sir Godfrey Higgins wrote The Anaclypsis, or an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations, and Religions. In this work, Sir Higgins also pointed out that the people of the Bible were black and that in all early Catholic Churches of Europe: the God Christ, as well as his mother, are described in their old pictures to be black [people]. The infant God in the arms of his black mother, his eyes and drapery white, is himself perfectly black (1836, p. 7, see also Was Jesus Christ A Negro and The African Origin of the Myths and Legends of the Garden of Eden, p. 14). What Sir Higgins also revealed indirectly was the fact that doctrines of the Bible were originally black peoples doctrines of religion and even the authors of our cherished Bible were black people.............It also reveals that the early Catholic Church knew, accepted, and acknowledged the black ethnicity of the people of the Bible by portraying the God Christ and his mother as the black people they originally were.
