[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b]The Bible was translated and deciphered from original Hebrew and Greek text, just as the Hieroglyphics were from original Egyptian text. [/b][/QUOTE] This is true but once again you misunderstand my point. Not a single book from the bible was written until nearly 1000 years after the Exodus is believed to have occured. All the history of the Hebrews was passed orally until they decided to write it down. Oral histories are not very accurate and it's not all that improbable that they filled in the gaps in their oral history with stories from Egypt, or Babylon. Compare the epic of Gilgamesh to Noah and the Ark. [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b] And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Hieroglyphics much much older than Hebrew text, do we need to also take those translations with a grain of salt. [/b][/QUOTE] For the most part, no. There is always the question of whether the events recorded in hieroglpyphs are accurate or just symbolic but usually they were written relatively shortly after the events happend. With most of the bible we have people who weren't even alive to witness events writing about them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
