    Through prayer I sensed God telling me Hebrew was the original written word around 2012. So I studied the Hebrew alphabet and their meanings. Dr. Petrovich has one more committed supporter. I pray his work becomes common knowledge in every seminary and church.

    Sounds great!! But we are so pathetically bad at what you are suggesting. I’m not saying people shouldn’t TRY. Just don’t conclude because you’ve gone through that process that it demonstrates your conclusions are justified. In most cases, people invoke the powers of their rational thinking processes to build support for the conclusions they already favor. It’s a process that mimics actual evidence-based/logically justified thinking, but may be just an exercise in self-deception. At minimum, it’s necessary to be able to recognize logical fallacies, and to honestly assess your own susceptibility to motivated reasoning, and understand the nature of cognitive bias. Ultimately, the only reliable way of overcoming cognitive bias is by collaboration and sharing of evidence and reasoning, as in the scientific process.

    You're assuming it "evolved " from "primitive " pictographs, which is folly. Pictographs and alphabet scripts have existed side by side many times in history. In the past, and still today, writing systems are conserved as part of cultural identity. Writing systems have been considered sacred since the beginning. Some change may occur in style as a way to identify some major event, but it's a decision, not so much an evolution.

    Do you know of a writing system produced to represent the mental images and physical motions described in a complex language that was not, during its earliest beginnings, initially drawn out as a visual paradigm of pictographic symbols? Pictographic symbolism invariably predates the intellectually more remote abstract phonetics of abstract scripts. The abstract scripts have simply evolved beyond their much more easily recognizable pictographic beginnings to such an extent that they have become phonetically ambiguous. . @@valerieprice1745

    He said he guessed the direction of right to left for the Ashneth inscription at 46:00 . He did not have to guess. He is right that it is from right to left because you always read Egyptian hieroglyphs in the direction that is towards the face of the animals, human faces etc. You always look into the face of the animal or human. This is standard knowlege on how to read Egyptian. The human head in the first column is facing towards the right. You will also notice that the ox head "A" (at the top) and the snake "N" (at the bottom) in the second column are also facing towards the right. Therefore you start at the right and move towards the left.

    @@thomasraywood679 I have to think that when he says "guess" he really means guess. It seems clear to me that he knows little or no ancient Egyptian or he would not have used the word guess. An expert on the language would not say this or his peers would lose faith in him. It is a bit like saying that you guess that Hebrew is written from right to left. Anyone who knows anything about Hebrew knows that it is a fact that you read from right to left. There is no guessing about it. However, saying all that, the very little ancient Egyptian that he seems to know from his admission of guessing is enough knowledge for him to do a very good job on this theory that I think looks very believable. The writing is not in ancient Egyptian anyway so he does not need to know anything about ancient Egyptian. I have picked up a book on how to learn Akkadian for PhD students takes a lot of short cuts to learning the language. A person who uses this book will have lots of big holes in their knowledge of the language compared to someone who has devoted the proper time needed for the task. I have seen other much better books on the subject that give much more information. These people have to dicipher (rather than translating) the language very quickly because they have too much else to do. Also, I notice that he called Egyptian writting "Egyptian hieroglyphics" at 1:02:00. Hieroglyphics is the adjective. Hieroglyphs is the noun. He should have said "Egyptian hieroglyphs" instead. If you key in "Which direction is ancient Egyptian written?" in Google it will tell you the answer. He needs to take on board what I have said because it will slightly strengthen his thesis.

    I disagree that the Sea of Reeds was the Exodus route. Exodus 13: 17-18 says: When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea (some say Reed Sea). The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle. End of quote. This would been WAY too far away from the Philistine country to matter if they crossed the Reed sea where today is the Suez Canal. Moreover, how would crossing the Reed Sea lead them into the land of Midian? Paul plainly shows in Galatians 4:25 that Mount Sinai is in ARABIA. Northwest Arabia has been called Midian up to relatively modern times. The Israelites did not continue towards the Promised land by way of the Philistines, but as the passage quoted above says: "God led the people AROUND by the desert road toward the Red Sea" meaning AROUND the route towards the Philistines. When they eventually do enter the promised land (40 years later due to sin), they enter and cross the Jordan from the EAST towards the west far on the OTHER SIDE of the Philistines. This is because they crossed the RED Sea and not the Reed Sea.

    @@Alec_Cox Yes I knew he fled to Midian 40 or so years earlier and married Zipporah etc. I did not know it was named after a descendant of Abraham. Thank-you. Beware of some of what academics like Petrovich say but instead have critical thinking from scriptures to debunk them. Petrovich in another video claimed that the Reed Sea was the crossing place and not the Red Sea as I mentioned above along with the Biblical reasons why it cannot be the Sea of Reeds. He also believes Mt. Sinai was in the Sinai peninsula and not in Midian (this was in another video) And the Bible makes clear he's also wrong when the first writing occurred. According to Jude verse 14: Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” This proves that Enoch who was taken by God before Noah was even born wrote the book we have today called the First Book of Enoch (partly preserved in the Dead Sea Scolls). The only way this could have been preserved is that it was preserved after Enoch's lifetime until the flood, and Noah and his family preserved it through the flood, thus we have it until this day. So there was written language over 500 years before the Flood, according the Bible. There is Bible fact we CAN rely on.

    Jesus was in the Bible since Genesis. They knew there was a redemption plan to replace Adam. Jesus also only taught about Himself from the Torah and the Prophets. We need to understand that salvation can be understood without the Gospel. As it is recorded in both Genesis and Hebrews, Abraham kept the Torah because he had faith in YHVH and it was counted unto him as righteousness. Salvation has always and only been through having faith in the coming and soon returning Jesus and repenting of breaking God's Law. 1 John 3:4 clearly explains that sin is transgression of the Law. God doesn't have different plans of Salvation for different people. It's all 1 cohesive plan and contract from Genesis to Revelation.

    There was a written language of some kind long before Egypt existed. Not consonantal necessarily, but a written language of some kind nonetheless. How do I know this? In the book of Jude chapter 1 verse 14 it says: "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness...etc." What this tells you is that Noch who existed before the flood, before Egypt existed, before the post flood nations existed, wrote prophetic writings. This would prove that Enoch's writings not only were brought out through the flood on the ark by Noah (how else could it still exist?) but that it existed during Jesus's time and the New Testament writings. Even more convincing is the fact that fragments of the book of Enoch was found among the Dead Sea scrolls and now in the museum of the scrolls in Israel. (The Ethiopian book of Enoch matches these fragments) Whatever modern archeologists cite as the oldest, they can at best cite one of the oldest POST FLOOD languages.

    Pictographs then are the strongest evidence for the Tower of Babel. For at this time writing was still not wide spread because the main communication was through the power of speech. Since everyone couldn't understand one another for a time pictures were drawn to describe what people were talking about. As time passed and man communicated more with their neighbors people began to speak each other's language and understand what their neighbors were saying. It is no surprise that language wouldn't be widespread until the time of Alexander of Macedon who sought to unify the world through Greek culture. This was later adopted by the Romans and from them the Norse people they ruled had learned Latin, and seeing that Greek was the first language the Hebrew Scriptures were officially translated in it is no surprise why we have many Hebrew, Greek, and Latin translations which followed it.

The confusion of tongues then was the advent of language and writing which is open to interpretation or confusion. Think about how many times someone has taken your text message out of context or misunderstood the nature of it.

    Aramaic script merged to Canaanite culture. Hebrew evolved out of Canaanite Script. "Graven Images" were not allowed in the Law of Moses, which condemns written language arts, in favor of an oral tradition where the Priests is actually the "Book of Life" as the Teacher, and the Law was written on the heart and mind, not engraved on stone. So some changes of metaphors led us to think the "Word of God" is a human invention of books, or writing , when in fact the Medium was the body of the Priest such that by the Image of God, being the Human Form, elect by the Priestly Unction or Anointing of Spirit into a human form , the man became literally "WORD OF GOD" . Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, is an original concept of how God communes through the Priest, who orally speaks the Law, and the people listen and believe. But the world went on to invent written language arts as something artificial. like computers or "A.I.". The real deal is that Jesus was born of the Spirit in Zion , circumcised by the Temple Priests and received the Korbanot of Temple Israel , to grow in wisdom and knowledge, and in Spirit, and being elect as a Nazirite Priest at age 30 , Jesus was given license by Caiaphas the High Priest to enter the Temple Israel Holy Ground and teach ORAL LAW TRADITION to the Jews. Then in mystery being put to death , rejected of Men, reduced to being like an animal where the Psalmist recites 'I am not a man, I am only a worm". So the Vessel of the Oral Speaker Tradition lain in state three days during a eight day Passover, was risen from the dead and so fully fulfilling the Law , Jesus entered the Glory ,consumed by Heaven , thus being God in singular substance of the Eternal Matter, Jesus was as ISRAEL, the First Born Son of God. Jesus is God, Whatever is in Heaven is one substance of eternal matter, not the elemental atomic particles, but the Eternal Matter, which is one substance , so that Jesus is God. 3=1 So the Word of God is a PERSON of GOD who recites the Law and interprets the relevance of the law to answer Riddles and speaks in Parables. The New Covenant said God by Jeremiah the Prophet is not by a human invention of handwriting arts but the Finger of God writes upon the tablets of their hearts. So all the metaphors are taken amiss to claim "Hebrew " as "Graven Images" but in fact it is an ORAL TRADITION and these references to books and scribes are metaphors creating for us a RIDDLE. In so far Jesus is a Nazirite in the Priesthood of Melchizedek forever , now of one substance of Heaven as is with the Father and the Spirit in Heaven, Jesus Christ is the literal WORD OF GOD.

    The reaction of establishment academia is predictable if you just believe their own proclamations. Academia and the sciences worldwide is controlled by ardent zealots of the religion of Naturalism. Their approach is stated plainly by one of the High Priets of that religion, Richard Lewontin: "Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in *spite* of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in *spite* of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in *spite* of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a *prior* commitment, a *commitment* to materialism. "It is *not* that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the *contrary* , that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that *produce* material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is *absolute* , for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." (See Richard Lewontin, Billions and billions of demons (review of The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan, 1997), The New York Review, p. 31, 9 Jan 1997.) This is the approach of the National Academy of Sciences and the college and university systems throughout the world. To put it in ordinary language, Lewontin is confessing to a con job, a fraud. Need I state the obvious? What Lewontin is describing is not empiricism but a religious faith. It is the religious faith of philosophical Naturalism in practice. This practice involves the debate tactic of masking assumptions and presenting them to the world as conclusions rather than as premises. That is simply dishonest argumentation. *That* is what Petrovich is up against. Lewontin has essentially “spilled the beans” and brought the lurking beast out of the closet: the Materialist enterprise is, from beginning to end, an “apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, NO MATTER” WHAT. That materialism is “absolute.” No ground can ever be conceded to an alternate explanation under any circumstances whatsoever, no matter how strong the contrary evidence may be. It’s like the proverbial boxing match that has been fixed by the actual boxers in the ring and the boxers’ managers: the conclusion is predetermined from the start before any actual investigation has begun.

    Because I believe the Tablet Theory is true (for many reasons), I believe that the text of Genesis was written by eyewitnesses, all the way back to Adam, and even to God himself. There is nothing in Genesis to indicate it was a vision, or that it was dictated. And although Jewish tradition puts the other 4 books of Moses as coming from the hand of Moses, the same tradition does not ascribe Genesis to the hand of Moses. According to the Tablet Theory, God wrote the first chapter (up through the first Toledoth actually), partly to tell us what he did, but directly as the means to teach Adam and Eve language, written and spoken. Then Adam added his few chapters. Later, others added theirs. Over time, it became more of a collection of history than a language tool, which is a different reason why later contributors added more, but also due to divine guidance. If all this is true, then those letters go all the way back to the sixth day of creation, and predate all forms of writing that did not develop until after Babel. Because I believe the Tablet Theory is true, your ideas on the origin of a few of the letters become problematic to me. My understanding of Hebrew is still very rudimentary. I do not have the knowledge you have. But if the Tablet Theory is true, then you are at least partially mistaken, namely because the pictograph of the Tav originates long before Egyptian writing (which means I'm wrong if you're right). So, I have my own reasons for thinking that Hebrew is the original language, partly because after Babel, only those who still spoke Hebrew would be able to understand anything that was written, including the part of Genesis that they had up to that point in time.

    I would like to see that. I've been told many times, by Jewish rabbis, that Genesis is not attributed to the hand of Moses, despite coming from him. There is nothing in the text of Genesis to indicate it was a vision given to Moses, nor that he was told what to write. All other places in scripture, visions are identified as visions, and instructions to write things are identified also. Genesis has nothing like that. All of the textual evidence that is inside of Genesis strongly suggests that it was written either by eye witnesses who saw those events take place (which Moses clearly could not) or was written by those who knew the eyewitnesses and wrote their testimonies (which Moses also could not do). All the evidence, and even Jewish tradition (according to at least a few Jewish rabbis), strongly suggests that Genesis did not originate from the hand of Moses. In fact, the internal text evidence resembles ancient clay texts, which suggests that they preceded Moses, likely coming from the ancestors, and further suggests that Moses compiled them and put them onto vellum.

    The emphasis on oral tradition is a sorry hang over from the neo-gnostic, Marxist influence on history and archeology. A deep study of ancient references to historical preservation of knowledge mentions weaving history into textiles, singing history in songs. Structures had stories preserved in images, and priests were supported to pass the understanding of the images down through generations. Inscriptions are very early, so it's reasonable to assume histories were written or represented on other, more perishable materials too. The idea of people being unable to preserve knowledge with stability in the important elements came along with the Marxist oppressive domination of academia.

    Hebrew is not the worlds oldest alphabet. It is like saying a black person "invented" the electric light. During the Bronze age collapse whole systems of writing disappeared and the Jews were in no position to invent a new system of writing. They had to negotiate the effects of the Bronze age collapse, during which whole systems of writing disappeared. And most presentations, not all are vague on dating when the Jews left (were chased out of) Egypt.

    The earliest documentation of the Hebrew script is from 1842 BC. The stone tablet, nicknamed "Sinai 115", mentioned Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Menashe - when it was claimed that the latter was the one who himself engraved the inscription on the stone. All the types of writing you mentioned are not phonetic letters with consonants and punctuation, but writing symbols that express in the drawing a whole word and not a syllable. The ancient script developed by the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Hittites, etc, is a script of peg-like signs that express logograms, that is, signs that represent whole words rather than independent syllables. Their writing consisted of graphic drawings that represented objects in the real world: if you wanted to write 'Shor' (Bull) you drew a small bull. If you wanted to draw a Balloon it had nothing compared to and similar to 'Bull' also sounds close. It was just another drawing. Around 1500 BC someone, whether educated scholars or ignorant slaves, decided to simplify the complex Egyptian hieroglyphics and distill it into only twenty-two letters in a systematic and general simpler way. Each letter in ancient Hebrew (Proto-Canaanite) script represented a consonantal sound like Alef , Bet, Gimel... Resh, Shin, Tsadi ..., etc. A word was composed of a collection of consonants: 'Sh.r.' Represented the word 'Shor' (Ox). The vowel letter O was marked with a score, attached to a letter, and not by a separate letter. The ingenious simplicity of the ancient Proto-Canaanite Hebrew script fascinated many, especially the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians lived in what is now Lebanon and were a nation of seafarers: they traded with almost all neighboring peoples. The simple and efficient script was very suitable for documenting transactions and sales, and the Phoenicians adopted it - with some modifications - around 1300 BC. With the help of the Phoenicians, the Canaanite script spread throughout the Middle East and formed the basis of many types of script known today. It should be noted that the claim is in any case, not that Hebrew is the first written language, but that it is the source of the alphabet script adopted by the peoples of the Mediterranean Basin and the peoples of ancient Europe. In any case, the origin of the Jews is from Mesopotamia and therefore Akkadian is also part of the ancient culture of the Hebrews.

    @@avikerem7426 The "Jews" didn't become Jews until they were thrown out of Egypt. More than likely they had lived side by side with other Semitic peoples, most notably the Hyksos. This amalgam of different but definitely racially related group were expelled ~ 1500 BC by native Egyptians who resented the mass immigration of animal herders that had built up over the years in the northwestern area of the Nile delta.. It was these people, through this common experience became the Jews of today. This does not mean that Noah et al did not exist, it just means they coalesced as a tight knit group in Egypt. In any case they were expelled before the Bronze Age collapse;. The most distinguishing feature of the Bronze Aged collapse(~ 1200-1150 BC) is that who ever the sea peoples were they succeeded in bin burning pretty much anything they encountered to the ground, the Egyptians were the notable exception. The Ugarits had an alphabet, but it used cuneiform like marks to form its symbol set and did not employ cuneiform in the way the Mesopotamia did. This language is attested to and even describes the last days of its existence as the place was burned to the ground. I doubt the shard of pottery is anything more than that. Although very different written characters from the Phoenician were used, linguists think there is a close connection between the two languages.To state anything outside of Egypt survived that fifty year period takes more than a shard of pottery. And the claim being made in this video is that Hebrew was the first written language; that's what alphabets are for.

    Refering to the hills of Canaan Dr William Dever: "We know today, from archeological investigation, that there were more than 300 early villages of the 13th and 12th century in the area. I call these "proto-Israelite" villages". *This has been verified by archeologists* i.e. Mazur, Na'aman, Finkelstein, Faust and Dever courtesy of "thetorah" Dr William Dever, an archaeologist normally associated with the more conservative end of Syro-Palestinian archaeology, has labeled the question of the historicity of Exodus “dead”. Israeli archaeologist Ze’ev Herzog provides his view on the historicity of the Exodus:[7] The Israelites never were in Egypt. They never came from abroad. This whole chain is broken. It is not a historical one. It is a later legendary reconstruction - made in the seventh century [BCE] - of a history that never happened We know the early Hebrews were shepherds living in the hills of Canaan. They were never in Egypt

    For starters, you mean world's not worlds. Not missing the irony. But you speak out of turn. The events Dr. Petrovich describes occurred centuries before the BAC. You also use unnecessarily "charged" language.
