[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by jantavanta: [qb] One may doubt, the curent Iranian sources of the Zoroastrian religion, but like languages, religions diffuse as they die. For example, Aramaic was the 'Latin' of the Achaemenid Empire (c. 550–330 BC),( just as Akkadian was being used by the 18th Dynasty Egyptians for cross-border correspondence). Some portions of the Hebrew texts are written in Aramaic and can be due to an attempt to remake Hebrewism conform to their Persian overlords after being 'freed' from Babylonian captivity [/qb][/QUOTE]jantavanta, you misunderstand the "WHY" of Aramaic. The Amorites (Hebrews/Aramaean's) first conquered Sumer/Akkadia with Hammurabi (circa 1759 B.C.) it thus became Babylon. They were kicked out circa 1595 B.C. Soon after, Abraham, the father of the Abrahamic religions, left Ur because Amorites were of course no longer welcome there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previously Amorites had created a Kingdom in Syria/Anatolia called "Aram". But because it conflicts with the Biblical narrative, it has been obfuscated. From Wiki: Aram-Naharaim Aram-Naharaim is a region that is mentioned five times in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. It is commonly identified with Nahrima mentioned in three tablets of the Amarna correspondence as a geographical description of the kingdom of Mitanni. In Genesis, it is used somewhat interchangeably with the names Paddan Aram and Haran to denote the place where Abraham stayed briefly with his father Terah's family after leaving Ur of the Chaldees, while en route to Canaan (Gen. 11:31), and the place to which later patriarchs obtained wives, rather than marry daughters of Canaan. Paddan Aram refers to the part of Aram-Naharaim along the upper Euphrates, while Haran is mainly identified with the ancient city of Harran on the Balikh River. According to one rabbinical Jewish tradition, the birthplace of Abraham (Ur) was also situated in Aram-Naharaim.

This also provided the labor force for the various public works projects in the metropolitan centers of the Assyrian empire. Circa 550 B.C. After the death of Neriglissar, an Aramaean from Harran named "Nabonidus" became king, the circumstances of his ascension are unknown. He made a defense treaty with Median king Astyages, as a defense against the Persians, who were becoming a growing threat under their king Cyrus II. He devoted himself to renovating old temples, taking a special interest in old inscriptions, perhaps in reverence for the ancient Amorite dynasty of Hammurabi. He also gave preference to the god Sin over the Babylonian god Marduk, thus creating powerful enemies in the Marduk priesthood. For reasons unknown, Nabonidus left Babylon to reside in northern Arabia, leaving his son Belshazzar as viceroy in Babylon. Ten years later, Nabonidus returned to Babylonia because of growing opposition to his rule, no doubt incited by the Marduk priesthood. He appointed his daughter, high priestess of the Sin temple in Ur, in an apparent attempt to bypass the Marduk priesthood. With this, the priests of Marduk looked to Cyrus, hoping to have better relations with him, than they had with Nabonidus. They promised Cyrus the surrender of Babylon without a fight if he would restore their position and privileges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]The point being that by the time of Jesus, Aramaic had become the language of international correspondence.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
