[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [QB] A poster on this site I originally posted this thread on posted this to me: [QUOTE][b]Some say[/b] that the Jews were fugitives from the island of Crete, who settled on the nearest coast of Africa about the time when Saturn was driven from his throne by the power of Jupiter. Evidence of this is sought in the name. There is a famous mountain in Crete called Ida; the neighboring tribe, the Idaei, came to be called Judaei by a barbarous lengthening of the national name. [b]Others assert[/b] that in the reign of Isis the overflowing population of Egypt, led by Hierosolymus and Judas, discharged itself into the neighboring countries. [b]Many, again, say[/b] that they were a race of Ethiopian origin, who in the time of king Cepheus were driven by fear and hatred of their neighbors to seek a new dwelling-place. [b]Others describe them as an Assyrian horde[/b] who, not having sufficient territory, took possession of part of Egypt, and founded cities of their own in what is called the Hebrew country, lying on the borders of Syria. [b]Others, again, assign[/b] a very distinguished origin to the Jews, [b]alleging that they were the Solymi, a nation celebrated in the poems of Homer[/b], who called the city which they founded Hierosolyma after their own name. [b]Most writers, however, agree in stating that once a disease, which horribly disfigured the body, broke out over Egypt; that king Bocchoris, seeking a remedy, consulted the oracle of Hammon, and was bidden to cleanse his realm, and to convey into some foreign land this race detested by the gods.[/b] [/QUOTE][URL=http://books.google.com/books?id=cQOn0y8ENg4C&pg=PA490&lpg=PA490&dq=Most+writers,+however,+agree+in+stating+that+once+a+disease,+which+horribly+disfigured+the+body,+broke+out+over+Egypt;+that+king+Bocchoris,+seeking+a+remedy,+consulted+the+oracle+of+Hammon,+and+was+bidden+to+cleanse+his+realm,+and+to+convey+into+some+foreign+land+this+race+detested+by+the+gods.&source=bl&ots=-bjJ6vStk2&sig=sVXMTg9deDGfFYJ3G791AtLXXI8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nyYvVNepCYWsyQSLxILIBQ&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Most%20writers%2C%20however%2C%20agree%20in%20stating%20that%20once%20a%20disease%2C%20which%20horribly%20disfigured%20the%20body%2C%20broke%20out%20over%20Egypt%3B%20that%20king%20Bocchoris%2C%20seeking%20a%20remedy%2C%20consulted%20the%20oracle%20of%20Hammon%2C%20and%20was%20bidden%20to%20cleanse%20his%20realm%2C%20and%20to%20convey%20into%20some%20foreign%20land%20this%20race%20detested%20by%20the%20gods.&f=false]The Jewish Question: Biography of a World Problem[/URL] Its interesting because it kinda correlates with my leprosy outbreak theory. Not only that but it also seems like most historians back then used Manethosas a primary source. [/QB][/QUOTE]
