      Truth is one which never contradicts to it self since only lies contradicts to truth.Saying as such that somehow history is art that depends on lenses which through one observe it a good phrase to describe the Jewish identity thief culture that still can’t explain where did it get the stories from and why it doesn’t understand the meaning of names and identities in those stories which it claims to Jewish rather then GaELic since from Garden of Edin(Edinburgh,ÓdinBurgh) to ÉL which is Ugarit just like Árpád,Béla,Géza,ŐrBán,Báni…so it is GaLilee pretty much like MacAbbey (MacAbean) or MacAri….

That relic source of data is our ancientest anchor, untill now, for understanding the history of the early universe. I see these lectures as the CMB for the jewish history.

    Great overview, with details that lead to more interesting “digs.” We’re following the Ray Vander Laan curriculum in our Christian Bible class, so archaeology is a big part of our studies. Hellenism is not viewed in a positive light in that course, and your explanation of its influence on early Judaism helps to explain a lot, including the inner divisions. And I am very interested in the early Jewish communities and you covered that, as well. I look forward to the second lecture. I’m reading John Barton’s “A History of the Bible,” so this reinforces the overall framework. Thank you.

    Very strange that Dr. Abramson doesn't begin with the "shashu of Yahweh" inscription in Amenhotep III's temple at Soleb. Amenhotep III (father of Akhenaten; grandfather of Tutankhamun) is Pharaoh of Egypt (ruled: 1388 to 1351 BC). This according to Exodus is the name of the Hebrew God and first given to Moses to reveal to the Israelites and Pharaoh. These people of Yahweh already reside in Canaan during Amenhotep III reign. These are the Hebrews before they became the nation of Israel. Yahweh precedes Akhenaten's "one" god in Egypt. It is interesting to note that Amenhotep III's father only became Pharaoh because the first born prince died unexpectedly. That could mean that Amenhotep II (ruled: 1454 - 1419 BC), reigning during the zenith of Egyptian military power, was the Pharaoh of the Exodus and his first born died during the Passover.

    • @HenryAbramsonPhD
      @HenryAbramsonPhD  3 года назад +3

      Not that strange, he regularly omits important information (especially in an abbreviated crash course format that covers many centuries in 60 minutes). I asked him about this, however, and he told me that he couldn't even find Shasu in K.A. Kitchen's index, nor does the discussion of the inscription appear in the Encyclopedia Judaica, two go-to reference sources. The Wikipedia article summarizes some of the problems associating this inscription with Jewish history (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shasu); in his opinion (okay, it's actually me writing this, but it is fun to use the third person about myself) for now the Merneptah Stele seems to be the earliest reliable non-Biblical reference to Israel. Thanks for your valuable observation!

      @@HenryAbramsonPhD First wow, you responding, But I've seen pictures of the inscription at Soleb. Are you saying they are fake? (I don't know hieroglyphics - so I'm relying on others translation work). There are only two places that Yahweh is identified this early on. The other is the Bible/Torah. If this inscription is real, then shouldn't this be the lynch pin of all discussions of Israeli history. From a secular view - this is direct reference to Moses/Aaron (indirectly).

      The Horites, called Khar by the Egyptians, were ruler-priests who married chaste daughters of priests. Rahab of Jericho was the wife of Salmon the Horite, the Son of Hur (Hor). Salmon is called the "father of Bethlehem" in 1 Chronicles 2:54. Rahab became the grandmother of Boaz who married Ruth. Salmon (also Salma or Solomon) is a Horite name and is associated with Beit Lahna/Bethlehem and the Ephrathites (1 Chronicles 2:51). The evidence concerning David's ethnicity points to Kenites and Horites who intermarried.

      We are a group of Romanians, from Sibiu, fascinated about the Jewish history and the Hebrew culture, Hebrew is not just a language, it is far beyond that.
      Right now we are trying to find the right translation of Ka Echsof, the version sung by Levy Falkovitz with the A Team Orchestra, being the best one I've ever heard.
