[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] Good Find, whats even worse is that the Hebrews were obsessed with Egypt. The "Exodus" event was nothing but a ritual mockery of the Gods of Egypt and of the essence of Egypt. http://www.padfield.com/2002/egypt_1.html Also it seems some of the plagues were inspired by the effects of the eruption of Santorini.. [QUOTE]Geologists are of the opinion that the eruption of the Santorini volcano at Santorini is the basis of the twelve plagues depicted in the Exodus. Post eruption, a vast neighborhood might have endured sufferings and tribulations like deluge, drought and firestorm etc. Not even cities located on higher platforms could escape the wrath of the devastating earthquakes. Molten magma ash in all likelihood would have completely blackened the atmosphere. Scientists believe that most of the twelve plagues occurred as a consequence of the volcanic activity. The mention of darkness in the Bible may be without doubt ascribed to the molten ash and pumice on the surface. Even the stormy winds were blowing to the southeasterly direction where Egypt was located. Furthermore, according to renowned archaeologist Charles Pellegrino, high velocity dust storms were supposed to have rained down in Egypt from the dust clouds, thereby turning days into nights.The Exodus story also mentions about plague and devastating fire upon Egypt. Charles Pellegrino compares the Santorini eruptions with that of Mount St. Hellen in Oregon as a burning example of what the Santorini eruption might have been like.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE][i]This treatment of the Patriarchal stories can serve as a model for the reading of Exodus. In this case too, [b]the attempts to locate the events in the thirteenth centure B.C.E. in the time of Pharaoh Ramesses II, have faced insurmountable difficulties.[/b] There is no such an event in any New Kingdom Egyptian source, and there is no trace of the early Hebrews in Egypt. The northern coast of Sinai was protected [b]by formidable Egyptian forts that could have easily prevented an escaping people from crossing the desert; there is no trace of Late Bronze remains in the rest of the Sinai peninsula, not even in a place like Kadesh-barnea, where the Israelites are supposed to have camped for a long time;[/b] and Canaan of that time was an Egyptian province, administered by Egyptian garrisons [b]where fifty Egyptian soldiers were enough to pacify an area[/b] according to the Amarna letters. Finally, many of the placs mentioned in the story of Exodus and the wandering in the desert [b]were not inhabited before the eighth or even seventh century B.C.E.[/b][/i][/QUOTE]The quest for the historical Israel, p52 -David Finkelstein [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
