    I like to think the Roman ban on Necromancy went something like this.
    "Can we tax the undead?"
    "No."
    "Ban it."

    Thank you for putting this on for everyone! This find reminds me the slightest bit of the recent Ein Gedi Cave discoveries wherein they found swords shoved into cracks in the wall.
    I was also wondering, would you be willing to put this in your Manna Machine Alerts folder?

    Dr Falk has anyone gone down the actual shaft to the bottom ? If this is a necromancy site connected to sacrifice . I can imagine sacrifices may be thrown down the shaft to the " underworld " as an offering

    Have you done any videos on the use of Ancient Near Eastern Cosmology in the Genesis creation account, as well as the use of it throughout the OT? I’m speaking of the firmament, or Raqia, the heavens, sheol, and how that concept of earth being a flat earth cosmology is tied to beliefs in Mesopotamia and Egypt. I’m speaking as someone who has recently heard this and come to accept it as a good case against my previous literalist understanding. You seem to be the kind of person who could shed more light on that very specific subject. Thanks
    And I’ve been enjoying your content today, btw.

    What do you think of an objection and evidence against the exodus that are the Amarna letters?

    • @ancientegyptandthebible
      @ancientegyptandthebible  5 місяців тому +1

      I think that objection works well against an exodus that is said to take place in the 15th century BC (the early exodus date), but does not work well for an exodus that is said to take place in the 13th century (the late exodus date).

    I assume this is the House of the Sun? The story of Saul and the “Mistress of the Pit” is modeled on Circe, the Mistress and Aeaea, and Odysseus in Books 10-11 of The Odyssey. Lots of Sun symbolism there. She’s literally the daughter of Helios.
    But aren’t we looking at JEWISH rituals? Are these cryptos? Have Romans adopted their modalities?
