Nimrod, king of Shinar, was, according to the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles, the son of Cush and great-grandson of Noah Chronicles 1 includes a version of the Table of Nations from Genesis, but edited to make clearer that the intention is to establish the background for Israel. This is done by condensing various branches to focus on the story of Abraham and his offspring. Most notably, it omits Genesis 10:9-14, in which Nimrod, a son of Cush, is linked to various cities in Mesopotamia, thus removing from Cush any Mesopotamian connection Many people did not know that Ethiopian Kingdoms spread across into Yemen and Iraq in Antiquity.
Ethiopia is a culture, that took hundreds if not thousands of years to develop. their individualistic language and alphabet and culture, again, didn't come about over night. it took centuries if not milenia to develop. According to the Bible, Nimrod was the grandson of Noah. Ethiopia did NOT exist when Nimrod was alive. Not as a culture, not as a language, not as an ethnicity, not as a people.. Its logically absurd to suggest otherwise.
he surely wasn't an Ethiopian. even if Nimrod did exist, he couldn't have been an Ethiopian as no cultures existed back then

Relation to Genesis Some scholars (e.g. Wood, 2003) have drawn attention to the fact that there are remarkable similarities between the Sumerian King List and accounts in Genesis. For example, Genesis tells the story of ‘the great flood’ and Noah’s efforts to save all the species of animals on Earth from destruction. Likewise, in the Sumerian King List, there is discussion of a great deluge: “the flood swept over the earth.” The Sumerian King List provides a list of eight kings (some versions have 10) who reigned for long periods of time before the flood, ranging from 18,600 to 43,200 years. This is similar to Genesis 5, where the generations from Creation to the Flood are recorded. Interestingly, between Adam and Noah there are eight generations, just as there are eight kings between the beginning of kingship and the flood in the Sumerian King List. After the flood, the King List records kings who ruled for much shorter periods of time. Thus, the Sumerian King List not only documents a great flood early in man’s history, but it also reflects the same pattern of decreasing longevity as found in the Bible - men had extremely long life spans before the flood and much shorter life spans following the flood (Wood, 2003). - See more at: http://www.ancient-origins.net/myth...-century-research-001287#sthash.ZfbBZrB2.dpuf
Ethiopia is a large nation/language group/ethnicity, that took centuries to create. Its absurd to think the Ethiopian language/ethnicity existed during the time of so-called "Nimrod".
Again, for the sake of repeating myself, it would help if u knew what "it" was (which evidently u don't) before screaming false. Otherwise your position is entirely based on false pretext, isn't it
It was, for this reason that Greek and Armenian geographers applied the name of Ethiopia to Media, Persia, Susiana and Aria, or the entire region between the Indus and Tigris in ancient days. The records of the Hebrews connected the Chaldeans, Ethiopians and Egyptians in ties of kinship, and the findings of archaeological and philological research prove those records true. Rawlinson mentions a Cu(*)(*)(*)(*)e inscription found in Susiana, in which there is a date going back nearly to the year 3200 B. C. The language of later Babylon was Semitic but that of the earlier Chaldean monarchy was different, as can be proved by the inscriptions upon the ruins. They are distinctly Hamitic and like the Himyaritic of Southern Arabia. All the earliest traditions of Chaldea center about Belus or Nimrod. We know that Nimrod was the son of Cush. Babylon had two elements in her population in the beginning. The northern Accadians and the southern Sumerians were both Cu(*)(*)(*)(*)es. The finds of recent explorations in the Mesopotamian valley reveal that these ancient inhabitants were black, with the cranial formation of Ethiopians. On linguistic grounds a relationship with Turanians proves untenable. The Turanian is one of the oldest races of the world. Some historians attempt to suggest that Noah might have had other sons after the deluge. We do not have to introduce other races to understand the Turanian family. They were an important branch of the Japhetic race just as Cush became the name of an important branch of the Hamitic family. http://www.sacred-texts.com/afr/we/we14.htm
