No different than Marduk vs Tiamat

Great video! One possible minor errata at 9:21, I think you may have the wrong reference listed for the "Because you smote Leviathan..." part of the Baal Cycle. I'm not seeing that text in KTU 1.2.iv, but instead in KTU 1.5.i.1 It caught my attention because I've seen that part of the Baal Cycle quoted before in commentaries as either being part of a shared tradition with or source text for Isaiah 27:1.

Their model of the world is accurate

Its pretty obvious if you simply ask God for the answer hence the scripture is without conditions nor prejudice clearly stating : "ask , ye shall recieve" - Balaam was indeed an Israelite, but no desire to be with his people & a man of simple faith but foolish loving money more than God. Whenever God left him he quickly returned to his sinful ways like a pig to mud altho it SEEMS the scriptures contradict they actually don't because as we know that whole faithless generation perished in Sinai and Balaam played his part in that via idolatrous Midian but Joshua and his men were immovable hence Balaam died in Joshua's conquest 👆

10 minutes of bullshit

This was very interesting! Great presentation. I didn't know about the possible Greek origin of these stories. I would like to point out that although the Greek version might have had a non sexual moral intention, it doesn't mean that the Hebrew version didn't. Today we retell Shakespeare's stories in modern contexts, often putting aside the concerns of the Elizabethan era. As they say, it's perfectly possible that the jews "repurposed" the tale as they wanted. Another issue I would like to bring is that the "scholar" that reads the words "wanting to know" as just "wanting to interrogate the strangers" should then explain why Lot offers his virgin daughters in response. The mental acrobatics people do to sanatize the Bible " for modern audiences" 😀

this is so well put together, love the quality of this

This is VERY easy to answer. The Persian Gulf! It wasn't always underwater. Bahrain is the highlands of Eden, still above water. The island of Qeshm is the highlands of Nod, still above water. Three of the rivers that joined together in the now sunken lowland river valley still flow. The first two most everyone knows so I won't repeat their names. The Pishon dried up long ago. We would call it the Kuwait River today. And the Gihon is now called the Karun. This all was before the Younger Dryas Flood (what science is now calling Noah's Flood) happened. about 13 thousand years ago.

great video.. how about the land of Nod east of eden? :)

Hey! I read on Charles Berlitz's Languages of The World (book) that the word babble had indeed come from the hebrew word for Babel. :(

Great video. Please do a video on Book of Esther soon.

Why are you are using “BCE?” It’s BC or AD. This is modern historians trying to write Jesus out of history. Don’t use these 1:10

Great void, but could you lower the Balfour noise. I want to learn from you and the music is distracting

Pasargadae is the garden of Eden. The Polvar River is the unnamed river. Cyrus Christ rebuilt His Father’s garden 550bc.

No shit it wasnt called Babel.

Also why do you people nitpick the Bible. Ashdod is a Phillistine city. Abimelech was a Phillistine King. Gerar was also a Phillistine city.

Supposedly in Iraq, that is where the Tigris and Euphrates are, but the Jew-Book "bible" is a superstitious Jew delusional fantasy and complete garbage. *Genesis 2:13-15 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[e] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.15 The Lord God (imaginary, supernatural Jew war-lord YAHWEH) took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.*

Eden is gone. It was destroyed in the flood...

Something I haven’t seen anyone else mention, especially in light of the Greek parallels is that the word translated as ‘ventriloquist’ ‘engastrímythos’ didn’t convey the entertainment tone it has today. The exact practice seems to have varied, but it involved voice throwing and speaking for the dead. The Septuagent using that word really strengthened the nekiya connection for me.

I have long believed that the biblical miracles were inspired by older myths, most of which were inspired by or exaggerations of exceptional circumstances. Like that the blood plague was based on some older myth which was based off of an algae bloom. I don't have any evidence, I just think it's interesting; like putting myself in the shoes of an ancient human, and trying to make sense of unfathomable cataclysms that are millennia away from being scientifically described. I guess I haven't really acknowledged that some myths were made up, as if fiction was a recent invention. Interesting video, made me reflect on my beliefs about ancient people.

I’ve done so many evangelical Bible studies over the years that insist The Anointed one in Daniel 9 is Jesus Christ. It as a few years ago that I started looking into the scholarship and realized it isn’t! Great video man.

One of the less focused on aspects of the story that’s recently interested me is that Eden is planted by God and tended by Adam. The people for whom it mattered conceived of the lush land as NEEDING intervention, first divine and then mortal, to exist. Which, is an interesting idea considering how often in the modern world we conceive of paradise as nature untouched by human hands.

The absolute refusal of monotheism to understand polytheist cult images (all while having their own sacred inanimate objects), never ceases to astonish and amaze me.

It’s at the bottom of the ocean due to the great flood

As always, great presentation, well researched, and clearly conveyed. You clearly put a lot of work into these videos. Thank you!

Some of the background illustrations are really nice. Are those AI generated or is there an artist behind em?

The GARDEN OF EDEN IT IS STILL AROUND TRUE LOCATED IN CALEXICO CA KINGS OF THE VALLEY EGYPT 👆

THE GOAT BIBLICAL UA-camR HAS RETURNED!

Cnahan was son of ham . Abraham was shem and Israelites come from his

Israelites no cannint 😂. The Shem

There is little point in pretending to explore a probable location, when your introduction classifies Eden as myth. Where is your evidence, supporting your claim that Eden is a myth, not a historical place? Perhaps, first demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt, that Eden never existed. Then proceed to assume where it might have been.

You say the names used for the rivers are from akkadian so it's not possible they existed before the flood, but you used the name Palestine for the land which is more modern than the Bible. Perhaps the same issue is happening in both instances, using the terminology at the time of writing

Fantastic, so informative thank you for making these videos. New to the channel but I will slowly watch the back catalogue

This was very well done, informative, and concise!

Arronice !

I know that David Rohl is not taken seriously as a historian of the ANE or Egypt, but I find his theory that the Garden of Eden was located in NW Iran near Tabriz, Mt Sahand, and Lake Urmia to be intriguing at the very least. The Gihon and Pishon would be the modern day Uizon and Aras (previously known as the Gayhun) while plains surrounding it were known as the Edin. It does seem to match the description found in Genesis 2 though whether "JE" were aware of that region when they wrote that part of the text is a huge sticking point in the theory.

Maybe the real Eden was inside us all along

Yours is my favorite channel on youtube right now, and it’s not particularly close.

In between Narnia and Middle Earth, not too far from Tatoine and Hogwarts. In your head.

I waited 2 months for this. Thank you for your hard work
