      Now on to the dog , which is an animal considered unclean by many Arabic cultures, in part because they (dogs)will happily eat feces( of which there appears to be quite a pile behind the dog)& thus the dogs mouth on the cows teat would render the cow unclean until after a cleaning & a purification ritual. In my opinion, they went to slaughter the cow or milk it( perhaps milk & then slaughter if this was prior to Moses's 3rd trip up mt. Sinai , bringing back the restrictions of diet & behavior,ie: no meat & dairy together{which has sound reasons}no eating of unclean animals{again, very sound reasons, pigs & shellfish tend to eat the dead & offal if given half a chance & who wants to risk eating a pig that may have eaten it's herder,who may have been your ancient uncle perhaps whom no one has heard from in a long time})

    • @doomy_mcdoomerson
      @doomy_mcdoomerson 4 года назад +5

      That actually happened a few years ago. Israeli street workers were repairing a road when they accidentally dug into an old burial chamber. It was the burial chamber of a wealthy Roman socialite who died in Jerusalem before the Jewish revolt of 70 AD. The workers didn’t realize they had just found an ancient relic and continued digging, accidentally destroying the sarcophagus and the chamber itself. They waited a week to report the discovery, and all of them ended up facing criminal charges for wrecking the site.

    Not really an archaeological discovery, but another interesting thing I've read is that there are actually scientifically based explanations for the 10 plagues of Egypt (the Nile turning into blood, locusts, death of the first-born, etc.). I don't remember it well enough to retell it, but I can recommend looking into it if anyone is interested.

    That "Hebrew" in 1 actually looked like it was actually Paleo-Hebrew. That would add to the dating evidence too. The Dead Sea Scrolls of course only contain OT books not NT. +One of the Non-Biblical texts is "the war scroll" which makes very interesting reading as it is one of a very few documents (part of Daniel and part of Revelation being two more) of a genre of writing we simply do not have in English.

      Well, it kind of is. Wars tend to lead to lots of dead bodies in concentration and that can yield a lot of info about the people involved and their lives. Natural disasters yield lots of info too because they preserve lots of bodies, or in the case of places like Pompeii, entire towns/cities. And both help greatly in working out when stuff happened.

      Scientists define the word “fact” differently from the rest of the world this special definition is an example of the idola fori fallacy. To illustrate, scientists may call something a “scientific fact,” but later, another discovery shows us that the “scientific fact” never was a fact the facts change suddenly.
      This change exposes something insane since reality doesn’t change. So true facts don’t change, but opinions do change, and opinions that are called “scientific facts” change. The term “scientific fact” creates a false impression if we forget that a "scientific fact" is merely a strongly held opinion and opinions are not an actual matter of fact.
      It will soon be a "scientific fact" that MEN can give birth to children through this logical fallacy I have already articulated and it is being used in conjunction with the appeal to popularity fallacy.

    Here you go, my friend! This one's free LOL Love your work, Simon!
    So Lord Carnarvon married into the Rothschild family through a woman named Almina and her father Alfred later bailed out Hebert's earlship to the tune of $500,000 pounds (81 million USD$ adjusted for inflation and conversion, last time I checked anyway). He used this cash on fast cars, fast horses, and digging up Egypt in the so called "Valley of the Kings". There, his archeologist - Howard Carter, dug up Tutenkaten's remains.
    Here's where I recommend 3 books. "Moses and Monotheism" by Sigmund Freud. "Akhenaten, the Cult of Aton, and the Dark Side of the Sun!" by Michael Tsarion. Lastly, "The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt" by Ahmed Osman. In understanding the overall implication, therefor of who the israelites and Moses really were, that a whole lot of the people that opened that tomb ended up committing suicide; particularly those who were first there when the tomb was opened.
    Now naturally in this you might think - holy crap, frickin' Rothschilds taking what doesn't belong to them from the world again figures! But, well...
    ...I mean...more than just about any other lineage of Earth - it's kinda their inheritance.
    Whether or not you should defile the tombs of your forebears is a whole nother question of course but to put it from the cover of "Moses and Monotheism" itself...

    The Mareneptah stele proves that Ramesses II couldn't have been the Pharoah in the book of Exodus. "Israel" was a single, individual person immediately after Moses died, not a reference to a people or a country. Mareneptah succeeded Ramesses II to the throne, so there wouldn't have been the time for wandering in the desert for 40 years and Moses' successor adopting the name Israel and living out his life before the stele was carved.
    There's also the problem of the kingdom of Egypt including all of Canaan within its borders from the reign of Thutmose I though 1167 bce.

      @Timothy McCaskey It's Pilatus in Latin, though :) I never understood why English insists on "translating" some ancient names (Herod, Homer, Pilate, etc.), but keeping others as they were. Why say Mark Antony, but not August? Speaking of "August", why change his original name from Octavianus to Octavian, but maintain Augustus? It's all very inconsistent.
