Thanks

You're the Real MVP

Danke

😂😂😂 that or the Land described in Bible is not modern day Israel.

dorkmax thank you for your succinct, un biased explanation

@@naloamordemiel Hush. Yes it is. Yeru-Šalem is the exact same city as Jerusalem, that part is not in question

@@johnbecay6887 No problem. The academic side of archaeology and biblical study is really hard to get biased about, because its almost all investigative and evidence based. Even Israel Finkelstein's critics in the Conservative factions, like Amnon Ben-Tor and Eilat Mazar wouldn't doubt Finkelstein's credentials. Nobody calls anyone heretic here, because that just doesn't apply. Side note: Although Israel Finkelstein sees himself as a centrist on the matter of the Bible as a historical document, I would place him more in the Minimalist camp.

@@dorkmax7073 thank you, Dorkmax, very informative. this is a fascinating time and place in history.

One of the great pities of our time. We have dedicated scholars and well funded institutions that gather and organize research and evidence but it is completely ignored.

Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any help you can give me

@Luciano Omar instablaster =)

While your statement is factually true, it ignores the fact that the same can be said of *all* small countries: Andorra, San Marino, Lichtenstein, etc, etc.

@@RonJohn63 That's a fair point. Its not a cultural norm, its a political practicality

That's the spirit we should all have.

Make your escape prisoner.

Thanks for the start time. These long-winded intros are the worst.

So that you may ask that question, i guess.

Seems to be an occupational tradition. Most of the archeologists, paleontologists give endless introductions.

No. The current theory is that some Hebrew-speaking escapees from Egypt assimilated into existing Hebrew communities and their story was incorporated into the cultural gestalt of what would later become the Israelites. This is based on the fact that Egyptians actually recorded the conquest of Hebrew or Semitic-speaking peoples in Egypt (probably remnants of the Hyksos) and mass escapes of slaves in later dynasties.

@@andrewsuryali8540 Thanks for the informative reply

I just realized that you're referencing Finkelstein's own ideas. If so, what he's been saying isn't that the Exodus narrative was an actual retelling of the Exile but that the version we have in the Bible has been adjusted to reflect the conditions after the return. The Exodus story itself is pre-Exilic. The prophets living in Judah actually wrote about Exodus. Part of Finkelstein's argument is that the Exodus story was invented to warn people of the Exodus that was to come, but that makes little sense in the way the prophets wrote about it because they all assumed their readers already knew the context. Archaeology have also shown motifs based on Exodus in pre-Exilic art and writings, so the tradition is old. Maybe it was indeed invented as a parable to warn people, and the version we have does show some hints of it, but more likely it was a myth that was already part of the cultural gestalt of the people living in Israel and Judah from ancient times.

The exodus is a story written sort of in reverse. What happened in actuality is that, after the bronze age collapse, Egypt lost its dominance and left the Levant. This gave the peoples in the levant, the Canaanites, especially the Phoenicians, the chance to flourish independently for the first time in many, many centuries.

Thats why you must turn to the truth and see that its history is flawless

That's not unrelated. What you call a "Hebrew accent" is actually the influence of a number of Jewish ethnoreligious groups, most notably the Ashkenazi Jews, who hailed largely from Germany after the war.

This guy sound tres French to me :)

Then is forma belgium

Facts! Lol

You don't take a bunch of people from all over Europe and the world dump them into a small place surrounded by unfriendly neighbors and not get some interesting and mixed up accents.

No
