We may never know for certain, given that we have no artifacts from back then that show what he looked like; but it is safe to say he was not Caucasian. Coming from the Middle East, he would undoubtedly have been Semitic, which means a darker shade of skin than a white person, but not as dark as someone from Africa (or Nubia, as it was then called). Some television programs and blogs have suggested he was black, but there is not much evidence to support that claim.

He was Semitic. He was one of the 12 tribes which made up the Hebrew people. In the Histoy Channel's "The Bible" he was shown as a black man. THAT WAS UNLIKELY
