[QUOTE]Originally posted by S.Mohammad: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: I quoted scriptures only because the thread is about Ancient Egypt and the Bible, and in some cases the Bible can be used as a reference point, other cases, scriptures are way too ambigous. I read the Bible probably in the same way I read other ancient Books by authors like Herodotus and Hippocrates, etc. from a Scholarly standpoint, I dont take everything I read as gospel. I just love to read![/QUOTE] Yeah, but none of what you read from the bible is supported [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ausar [b]The Tell-Amarna Tablets talk of a person named Hibiru. Are you suggesting that the Hibiru were the people in question?[/b] The Hibiru and the Hebrews are supposedly the same people.[/QUOTE] Do you have proof that they're one and the same? [QUOTE][b] Kemetians[Egyptians] never allowed foreginers to build temples.[/b] Which is why I believe the Hebrews adopted a lot of Egyptian religious beliefs, and not the other way around.[/QUOTE] You're contradicting yourself again. The Bible doesn't say Hebrews got their religion from Egyptians and egyptian texts doesn't mention anything about Israelites in Egypt as slaves. israelites might have adopted egyptian customs through diffusion, but not as a direct result of a whole nation of Israelites living in Egypt as slaves. In the Bible God even told the Israelites to never follow the ways and rligions of other nations. [QUOTE][b]What secular Egyptian text can you double check that proves mass enslavement of Hebrews in the Delta?[/b]I believe the Hibiru is the same thing as the Hebrews.[/QUOTE] Proof? [QUOTE][b]Kemetians[Egyptians] never allowed foreginers to build temples.[/b] Which is why I believe the Hebrews adopted a lot of Egyptian religious customs.[/QUOTE] Thats all goodand dandy, but Egyptians were not practioneers of monotheism, save for Akhenaton. [b]What secular Egyptian text can you double check that proves mass enslavement of Hebrews in the Delta?[/b] Secondary Sources: The Exodus: The Egyptian Evidence, by Ernest Frerichs and Chronoloy of the Bible: Dr.Aardsma, these are ones I've read, you can read them and form your own opinion, as I am not here to debate the entire Bible with you or anyone else. [QUOTE]Furthermore, where if not the Bible do you think this whole concept of Hamitic, Semitic,...comes from that the entire scientific community has become accustomed to identifying "language groups" if not from the Biblical account of Noah's 3 sons. Has the scientific community not labeled this common female ancestor "Eve", have you never heard them speak of the "daughters of Eve." I mean don't sit here and act like science and the Bible has never overlapped.[/QUOTE] You're mixing the Bible with science now. Thelanguages known as Afro-Asiatic are no more Semitic or Hamitic anything, they're just a bunch of languages genetically related to one another irregardless of the names attached to them. There are many speakers of Afro-Asiatic who have never heard of a Ham or Shem so the Bible nor any of the Herbrew legend has any significance to this language group. Those 'daughters of Eve' have nothing to do with a Biblical Eve historically at al, they're just using it as an analogy. The daughters of Eve are referring to mitochondrial DNA, not actual daughters of anyone. [/QB][/QUOTE]
