So why do the ancient Hebrew burials reveal Caucasian skeletal features, straight hair and Semitic DNA? Why do ancient paintings depict them as Caucasian? Why do ancient writings not describe them Nubian or African?

Because the ancient authors weren't trolling for controversy.

I've read Afrocentrists say that ancient Celts, Romans and Greeks were all black too. It never ends with them, really.

Hebrews are supposed to b e descended from some Akkadians which was the very first semitic language, which was in Ancient Sumer. The Sumerians and Akkadians were known as the "black headed" people, i.e. black hair but it never really mentioned their skin color otherwise they'd probably be known as the black people. Even Hebrews borrowed elements of the Sumerians and Akkadians. They probably looked like any other middle eastern person, with brown skin, blaack hair, ect.
