The " Hittites" were a biblical people. In the center of their capital, " Hattusas", now " Boghazkoy in central Turkey", they had four huge temples with great granite sancturies that projected beyond the main facades of the limestone walls to obtain lateral lighting for some huge idols.

Kind of reminds me of a " Ziggurat", or a high place that can be seen.

Just solid real history that brings the bibles historical relevance even more into mainstream history.

Peace.

If biblical archeology is so great why was the Spear of Destiny dated somewhere in the middle ages and why can't they find the Ark, they've narrowed it down to one mountain?

Oh yeh thats right, biblical archeologgists find what they want to find and make it fit.

I don't know why certain things have not been found, I can only list what has been found. Archaeologist found " The Sumerian Prism", written 100 years before Abraham and it mentions " The flood that swept over the earth", so I think there was a flood and a Noah.

Peace.

Well the earth back then would have been Sumeria.

There was no global flood, science for 15 year olds would make that perfectly clear. I just brought up the example of the Ark because so much is made of the story and yet they can't find the damn thing even though they've narrowed down its location to one mountain lol

As for the spear of destiny, well thats proof that myths are sometimes distributed to an extent that people take them literally.

In 2Chronicles 32:30 King Hezekiah had a tunnel built by the city of David ( Jerusalem), did you know they have found this tunnel!

They found it man.

So the bible has some historical components in it which Is expected from a book written in that era.

Much like Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes mentions England.

Is your point that it has historical references because that's a no brained and not really worth the effort of posting. Or is there some deeper meaning you are getting at

If its not worth the effort to post it, it then cannot be worth the effort to read it. Why then are you reading it?

Thats got to be the 8th wonder of the world, people who read things that they think are not worth reading.

I have not read one single thread that you have started, I don't even know if you have started one. I don't read things I hold no intrest in. Why you persist in giving these statements which are negative, and keep reading what I write, to me is a very weird contridiction. You keep reading " Up" on things you keep putting " Down."

Its the Frog Syndrome.

Peace.

So you don't want to answer my question?

The point of the thread is to show that the bible is an authentic historical record. Its real history, not a myth, as some claim it to be. Miracles and Faith aside, the book is still historically relevant, but the miracles and the Faith it records, are simply unbelivable to many, and because of that, they want to sweep away and deny its historical value in our history. Well they can't do that, one can reject the miracles and the Spiritual claims, but they cannot reject its historical relevance and true record of our history.

Its simply a challange to anyone, I understand, but the book exist in " Two Worlds" really Q, the historical world, and the Spiritual Phenom it presents. One can reject the Spiritual, but I cannot see rejecting its reality in our history. As if one cannot exist without the other. If there was no God, the bible is still accurate in much of our human history.

Peace.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to say that. It was a respectful question (ok my sarcasm got in the way).

Thankyou for sharing.

Sarah,Abraham,Issac,Rebeckah,Leah and Jacob all were buried in Hebron in a cave called " The Cave of Machpelah". Purchased by Abraham, Genesis 23, they have found this cave beneath a temple. The Cave is over 3700 years old, and is beneath the " Haram El-Khalil temple."

One of Abrahams first stops in the land of Canaan, was " Sichem", or Shechem, Gen. 12:6-7, where he built an altar to the Lord. It later became a " City of Refuge", Josh. 20:7.

Did you know that Archaeologist have excavated and unearthed this biblical city?

They have it, it was as real as the bible said it was.

Peace.

In Genesis 42-46 chapters we have the account of the reunion of Joseph and his brothers, and of the moving of Jacob and his family to Egypt, thus bringing to pass the settling of Israel in that land as Gods word had predicted.

Located on the west bank of the Nile near " Karnak", are the ruins of " Josephs Graineries", the site where Joseph met his brothers.

Peace.

Upon the death of Jacob, " Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father", Gen. 50:2. They took 40 days to do it. Egypts method of embalming was well known as " Mummification", a 40 day process, ( sometimes 70 days) which preserved ( Petrified) the body.

Again and again the bible parrelells with human history.

Peace.

With this process it is easy to understand how Joseph could make the long journey to Canaan with his fathers body in a " Mummified condition", Gen. 50:4-13.

Did you know that Archaeologist have unearthed " Bricks made with Straw" and some made with no straw in the unearthed cities of " Pithom and Raamses?" On many of the bricks the name and title of " Pharaoh Rameses" was inscribed.

You know the biblical history behind the Pharaoh decreeing that Israel make bricks without straw.

Again, its just academic.

Peace.

 

[mickiel]

There are those who contend that " Thutmose III" was the Pharaoh of oppression, some claim it was Rameses II, there is a difference of opinion amoung scholars as to Egyptian dates, it may be there was not just " One" Pharaoh during the time of the exodus. But suffice it to say, Israel was in Egypt and she was being oppressed, history shows that, and the bible shows it.

Peace.

As the obvious real historical evidence is being continually provided by Archaeology, this post continues to rack up the proof of fact finding history, and continues to silence its oppisition.

We have the " Fallen Walls of Jericho", along with pictures of the excavation.

Peace.
