These maps, drawn/written by different cartographers all show Judah on the African West coast in the 1700s. Some of which show the Kingdom of Judah right on the Slave Coast itself!

If you look at the original names of those African slaves that were captured (before Europeans changed their names after getting to the Americas..), many of them had Hebrew names. Searching slavevoyages.org (a database of those that boarded slave ships during the trans-Atlantic slave trade) just for names with “yah” (a short for the name of God, example: hallelujah, kumbaya..etc) in them returned over 800 matches, the term “jah” had over 400. There are also markings etched into the pews of the First African Baptist Church in Savanna, Ga that appear to be cursive Hebrew suggesting that these African slaves and/or their ancestors may have wrote and spoke Hebrew at one point (once in the Americas, slaves were forced to speak English and were prohibited from learning to read and write, it was also forbidden to speak their native languages or use their true names so this is quite an amazing and rare find).
