If you haven't read it, read it. It will change your fundamental understanding of religion.
There is an unbroken line of succession, of moneylending-rentier-merchants, from Sumer to Babylon to Phoenicia to Rome to Venice to the Vatican to Britain to the USA.
So you’re swindling us? I get something about bamboo acupuncture.

one can also start with the tribal "wise men" long ago. then follow their name changes through time. while doing so you will witness many failed experiments with religion, government and corporation.
How the Jews Betrayed Mankind: Volume 1 - The Sumerian Swindle balderexlibris.com/index.php?post/G_d-How-the-jews-betrayed-mankind-Volume-1-The-sumerian-swindle archive.org/details/TheSumerianSwindle (mirror) bamboo-delight.com/raxbiljo/Sumerian_Swindle_V1_2nd_Edition.pdf (mirror) Introduction. “In the beginning were the Jews.” At least, this is how the Jews would write the history of Mankind if they could get away with it. But in fact, in the beginning, there were no Jews. The lies that they wrote about themselves in the Old Testament are just that – lies. Here is the real story of How the Jews Betrayed Mankind. "But are the Jews really unique or do they only tell you that they are? After all, it costs nothing to brag about yourself. And if self-congratulation brings you prestige, wealth and influence – all for the price of hot air and flapping lips – well, then, who has more hot air and flapping lips than a self-glorifying rabbi? Regardless of what the Jews say, when you inspect the actual merchandise, you will find that the sparkling Jews are only made of glass. This is why the Jews are so allergic to criticism because their lies are so easily broken."
The irony of the title is that he basically proves that Jews didn't exist until post-Christianity. This is verified by other thinkers on the subject, such as Abram Leon in "The Jewish Question" and Karl Kautsky in "Foundations of Christianity". Leon and Kautsky were ironically Marxists, btw.

Enslaved, no. Allowed to exist and do business, yes.
I would say it's highly presumptuous to say they weren't the same ethnicity as the kings and warriors, of that era. There's a bias from the white identity movement to identify all good guys as white and all bad guys as non-white. Don't fall into that trap.
Capture the spirit of the Greeks, the early Christians (followers of Christ before Rome co-opted it), the early Franks, the Renaissance Italians, and the early Americans who all were pro-republic and anti-elite/anti-moneylending-financier-merchants. Simple as.

Mid-tier. Buys into the literal stories of the bible, which were nothing but ploys by the moneylending-rentier-financier-merchants to attain status of having sole access to god. All they did was have a crime family at the beginning (led by Abram, later Abraham) that asked about everyone's family history and folklore, then created a comprehensive book tying all those stories together. The "sons" of Noah were nothing more than the groups of unique tribes that they identified, so Abraham could claim common ancestry to them all.
And the only reason they wanted such a religion was to have a place they could store their wealth away from any king, and so they could have a loyal citizenry ready to take up arms to defend that wealth. It was merely a proto-religion that worked for these merchants until post-Jewish Wars, when the Sadducees were defeated, and all of Judaism became the canon that that Pharisees had been practicing. THAT is when these people became Jews, AFTER Rome had went to war with the merchants' followers and defeated a good portion of them.
After that, those Jews have only had a tangential importance in the running of the world. The merchants knew their religion was fake. They may have professed to agree with it for public relations reasons, but they were never Jews. They were "the Jews who were not Jews".

Interesting book I will check it out. Anyone here ever read the 13th tribe? What do you think of it? Is it worth reading?
It's always been a class of people connected by family and guilds, wherein their craft is secretly taught to a limited number of people. Which is what high level Freemasonry is today, essentially, although Freemasonry has a different ancient past, coming from actual priests rather than these merchants, who fully co-opted Freemasonry in the early 1700s.
To blame it on nation or ethnicity or religion is a distraction. These people hide amongst all of those things.
