​@@henrikg1388The Bible definitely is a collection of ancient oral history of the Jews, but like most oral history it was written to make them the heroes, exaggerate their victories and downplay their losses. Plus it needed to downplay their polytheistic origins and how their God El was just one of the gods of the ancient Canaanite pantheon. The problem that we have with the Bible and other texts considered sacred like the Koran is that people consider them the divine word of God and not a collection of oral histories and theology made by human beings

Mizraim was the progenitor of the original Eygptians. Cannan was the progenitor of the land of the original Cannanites which is the modern day countries of Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestine and Jordan. The phoencians who were really the Sidioians was also from the line of Ham also. According to the Torrah Ham has the most familiy tribes documented with 30 afro asiatic tribes. Shem has 26 documented tribes. Japeth the progenitor of the Europeans has 14 documented tribes. But out of the 14 tribes according to the Torrah some were mellinated tribes.

What's your opinion about the rabbis who say that "goyim are soulless subhuman cattle created only to serve the Jews"??? 👀

About the Persian satrapy Eber-Nari! According to medieval Jewish scholars the word “Hebrew” is a geographical term and comes from the word Ever which means “Across” or “Beyond”. In Hebrew language it is עבר and in Arabic it is عبر Eber-Nari means “Beyond the River (Euphrates)” and was the Persian name for greater Syria, which we call today the Levant. It means Trans-river Province. In the Book of Ezra it has the Hebrew name “Ever-Nahara”. In the early chapters of Genesis, Abraham is called a Hebrew when he’s introduced, or Ivri It means he’s a man from Eber-Nari, the Trans-river Province. This is just passages before he travels to see his family in Haran, which is usually identified as northern Syria. So the word “Hebrew” can be translated as a term for any ancient Syrian or Levantine people

For those interested, about 2-3 weeks ago, a new DNA paper (Agranat-Tamir et al) was released where they analysed 79 Canaanite samples (including 2 early Israelite samples).

@@jrt818 For Hebrew, writing left to right is backwards. All languages were 1st written right to left, because when clicking the letters to a stone table, or printing them in clay, a right handed person moves more naturally right to left. But with a brush on papyrus, it's more natural to move left to right - or became more practical, not to wipe out what you just had written. This is also the reason why left handed people write with their hand in a more awkward position, because they have to take care not to wipe their writing. The change is visible in Phoenician, old Greek and Etruscan scripts, when in the transition period they moved the text first right to left, but next row left to right, then again right to left...

I love the Moabite stone. It's by default one of the more insightfull archeological testimony of the canaanite culture, and a first hand account of how the canaanites viewed their Baalim, their city gods. What is written in the stone about Kemosh is a perfect parallel to what the hebrews wrote about their God Yahweh Wich shows how the jewish religion evolved from the previous and contemporary canaanite polytheism. Because of these uncanny similarities, we can assume that all the canaanite kingdoms had a covenant with their baalim that was identical to the covenant the Hebrews had with Yahweh. The way Kemosh punished Moab by allowing the Israelites to conquer them, is exactly the same reason Israel was continuosly conquered by outsiders according to the Old testament. The only thing that changed with the Hebrews was the demonisation of the other common deities of the pantheon. And the abolition of human sacrifices. Obviously. But for the rest, it might have definitively been identical to the other religions of the levant This change might have happened because of Zoroastrian influence. Since many attributes of The wise Lord were eventualy given to Yahweh too. As well as the creation of a evil entity, enemy of God. Something that originaly did not exist. Yahweh was the source of both good and evil, since he's a perfect being. So yes. I am loving this series. Soon you'll have to talk about the canaanite religion, and the birth of the Cartaginian empire. And I can't wait for that

I wouldn't be too quick to lump the Hebrews in with every other polytheistic pagan religion of the Canaanites at the time. For example, what about the Ten Commandments and other Levitical Laws of the Hebrews? "Thou shalt not make a graven image," and all of that: something which seems common in other Levantine / Canaanitic / Polytheistic religions, but was explicitly outlawed by the Hebrews. That distinction alone is pretty unique, not only in comparison with Canaanites, but also with Egyptians, Assyrians, Akkadians, and Babylonians, all of whom had no difficulty making and worshiping idols.

@@kaiadams3636 You are presenting a very fundamentalistic approach to the Hebrews'/Israelites' origins. The Ten Commandments and the Torah were revised during the reign of Josiah, King of Judah. Before the Jews were exposed to the religion of the Persians (Zoroastrianism), they were most likely henotheistic, and they had similar practices as their fellow Canaanites during the early Iron Age. Most of the modern archeological evidence disproves the events of the Exodus and Joshua, and the idea of YHWH (Yahweh) being the ultimate creator of the universe (and the only god to exist) was a rather late theological concept after the Jews were influenced by Zoroastrian concepts.

1. Solomon was around 900BC. Zoroastrianism existed 300 years later. Turns out they must have gotten influence from Israel's God. 2. And the Adversary (Satan) was mentioned in the oldest book of the Old Testament (Job). 3. Not smart to assume the caananites had a covenant with their god like Israel did with theirs. They are hardly similar, not even close. 4. If you want to know where The Abrahamic religion came from, read the bible.. no assuming there.

I am impressed that you relied on archeology rather than mythology and legends when making this video. By the way, archeologist Israel Finklestein reports first evidence of Israel at ~1206 BCE, and first evidence of Judah in the 9th century BCE. When Israel was conquered, Israeli fugitives flocked to Judah and their traditions began to merge. Israel was older and polytheistic (like most of Canaan), while Judah was younger with a powerful sky god named YHWH.

According to archeologists at the Oriental Institute (Chicago), Penn Muséum (Philadelphia), Finklestein, and Devers, the Iron Age Israelites, Phoenicians, and Jews were the direct descendants of Bronze Age Canaanites based on similarities of written language, religion (pantheon of gods), and culture. El, Baal, Asheroth were shared by all of them. The difference was the slow rise of the sky god YHWH above all other gods in Judah’s national religion. Oh, and there is no corroborating archeological evidence of a Hebrew Exodus from Egypt and Conquest of Canaan, as reported in the merged mythology of Judah and Israel (Bible). Hebrews appear to be a specific group of late Bronze/early Iron Age Hapiru/Habiru living in Canaan who eventually form the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

Israel was already a people by 1206 BCE, according to a stele by the Egyptian pharaoh Merenptah. By contrast, there is no archaeological evidence of a Judah until the mid 9th century BCE, according to Finklestein. Saul appears to have been an early local chief within Israel. David and Solomon appear to have been early local chiefs within Judah. There is no archeological evidence of a unified Israeli/Judah kingdom under Saul, David, and Solomon as described in the shared legends of Judah and Israel (Bible).

Ashkelon is conquered, Gezer seized, Yanoam made nonexistent; Israel is wasted, bare of seed… All who roamed have been subdued."
