    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Please note I don't agree that Rebekkah was living in the Indus Valley, only that her grandparents Milcah and Nahor *could* have lived there (Ur Kasdim). By the time Rebekkah was born they had moved back into the Northern Fertile Plains of Mesopotamia. My opinion is Isaac was born in the...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I refer to "cultural norms" meaning what was considered "normal" for the culture that Rebekkah was from/"adopted" into. I believe Genesis explains this as I describe in comment #34, hence why I consider the culture or society of Nahor/Milcah/Rebekkah to be closer to Ionian or sex-equality in...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    A friend forwarded me a video on TikTok that I thought you could be interested in. I wonder if our ancient ancestors did this in the sand to "show off" :tearsofjoy: How to "open" a triangle (without the use of psychedelics), with 12 moves in total, plus 1 move if counting the drawing of a...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    This is an interesting story and/or proverb, but to me is the best example of a patriarchal society. Yes, she builds her house from bricks that she "got" from "somewhere", and sand she got from elsewhere. Some can say the result is a mismatch, so then why does she build the house at all? Be...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    My opinion regarding your question is that Terah and Abram would not be considered a "society" given they are both individuals. However they are considered patriarchs who are important male ancestors to the story written in the Hebrew scriptures. Of interest to me are the "cultural norms" for...

    Quran and the People of the Book

    It is written in past tense, and God knows the Jewish people haven't had it easy since, at the very least, the destruction of their temple. Today we see the same words painted on the Houthi flag, so it is hard to defend how Muslims want to interpret such verses.

    The Garden of Eden

    Psychedelics are being used to treat many psychological conditions. I wouldn't call people who take them stupid.

    End of Suffering

    Q: If suffering ended would you help it? A: No. One cannot end what no longer exists. Did you mean "One cannot help what no longer exists"?

    Why don't people dress in suits or stylishly anymore ?

    Can I say I appreciate a woman with piercings? May I say can I say? Cargo shorts are ridiculous, no one needs that many pockets unless you're trying to confuse a pick-pocket.

    Why don't people dress in suits or stylishly anymore ?

    What's there to say? Gun to my head I agree with @England my lionheart also But I would never expect it, nor dictate it.

    Why don't people dress in suits or stylishly anymore ?

    I don't know where you are from, but from where I'm from women dress for themselves. No man ever lived telling a woman what clothes to wear.

    Many many Chariot wheels found at bottom of Red sea.

    I think the presence of shared names and words is worthy of exploration, given that it seems to be more than coincidental. Sure, the relationship could be as you say related through a Sumerian root, but there could also be another explanation. In the context of exploring (a) how the Genesis and...

    How can YHWH be the FATHER?

    It could be argued that Pharoah was "tricked" into believing all first-borns did in fact die. That is to say they didn't die, or that the death is metaphorical for the end of the Rameside line of Pharoahs.

    If Israel Stopped Occupying The West Bank Would There Be Peace Between The Jews And Arabs?

    First step is recognize the State of Palestine first, then discuss borders after. At the moment many countries that have not recognized Palestine only do so "in principle". The caveat being that they effectively outsource the decision to Israel, being Israel needs to determine the borders. If...

    I live to visit the Bruce Lee statue. They say he was a real person. I have only seen him in movies.

    LOL. If thats the case someone should ask Khamanei if Iran will support a two-state solution to end apartheid.

    What caused the Christian and Muslim invasions of India?

    If you read my comment at the time I wrote it, you can see it was in reference to the author A Das. It was my belief that this person was a Christian. The author was using historical references to make conclusions about the history of India that I did not agree with. Hence, I believed this...

    Many many Chariot wheels found at bottom of Red sea.

    Thanks for the discussion, I think we have both made our points clear. I will emphasize I am not talking about the origin of languages . Note I don't refer to the PIE languages because I don't believe they are relevant for the discussion. The time period we are focused on is Bronze Age...
