The guy in this video? SAMA I think is a suicide thing? May he RIP I enjoy this channel but am new. The creator life is harder than alot of people think. To anyone else out there thinking of taking their own kife, dont you are loved.
Modern historiography/archaeology is a story of scornfully doubting received traditions in favor of blind speculation based on weak presuppositions...until further archeological discoveries confirm the received tradition.
We Tamils have our sangam literatures which specifies that South Indian Tamils traded with the kingdom of Israel during the reign of Solomon like tusks of elephants,turmeric,peacocks... scholars should look for evidences in Tamil literatures also....
There has still been major difficulties within scholastic arguments with respect to trade relations and extent. The best evidence with respect to trade and idea concepts seems to be iconography,. Eg: one of the persistent iconographic symbols of ancient Egypt is that of the upraised Cobra. The cobra is not native to Egypt, it is native to India so to use such iconography, must indicate a transfer of concepts between the two cultures. The same holds true of other commercial items such as Frankincense of which the largest source is still in the Afar region of Ethiopia or gemstone from Afghanistan. The evidence has always been there for consideration but has been ignored. The same holds true for the recent evidence of Cocaine in the hair shaft tests done on ancient mummies from Egypt. There can be many sources that can corroborate the narrative of a true history that have yet to be examined or are being ignored. Unfortunately there has been much confusion as to a proper. Timeline of evidence and narrative based against preconceived notions. Some of this is being dispelled but much is still to be accomplished. With respect to the concept within this video, that the formation of Israel was occurring during the Bronze Age collapse, becomes ludicrous. Even the recent report given by Eric Cline of the DNA evidence of the Philistines, ,indicated that there’s a presence from eastern Iberia ( Spain) does need to be considered in the narrative as the Tin mines there would have been greater and more accessible over water than a land route from Afghanistan even if it were through an Indian trading route. More especially, because such a route would not have been affected by the Sea Peoples. There also does not seem to be as yet any evidence of overland trade route between Afghanistan through Megiddo, making a Tamil water route more likely. During the time element involved ( the end of the Bronze Age) it is more likely that the breakdown of the nominal Mediterranean empires would have left another power vacuum into which Israel could come into its own as a power structure especially with the resources of major copper mines in the southeastern region of the Dead Sea Valley. This copper has been metallurgically analyzed and has bot a high concentration of both lead and arsenic. This is another though less durable form of Bronze. Such would be the source of wealth into Israel and a reason for Tamil trading. With possibly very early Iron coming from Tamil sources.
, Thank you, for your consideration, it is unfortunate when while attempting to make scholastic considerations either lack of evidence or learned biases can turn into a form of conceit, exhibiting a denial of additional evidence due to such bias. It is only when we resist such bias, that it is possible to allow entry of new datum to coalesce within an existing structure that greater strides can be achieved. This is especially important when attempting to give an understandable construction to a time, little understood with respect to causation and having almost no direct evidence. It is only possible to advance speculation to incite more research within accepted disciplines.
@@avtaras It would be interesting for the Chanel if you would make a contribution of the Tamil narratives regarding the interaction with the Mediterranean region for the time period under consideration. While even if the material is limited, the contribution would still add to the overall picture. There are not many that can read ancient Asuka era Sanskrit and even if of later origin, anything that can add to the knowledge of historical consideration of World dynamics.
Finally someone explains the difference between culture and genetics. So many people dont understand that... For example in my country Serbia a lot of people cant accept the fact that genetically we are connected a lot with old balkan tribes, but with migrations of Serbs and other slavic tribes a slavic culture became dominant. That doesnt mean that all of our ancestors came to the balkans during the slavic migration or that all of our ancestors lived in the balkans before the migration. We are a mix of everyone, but the culture that became dominant was Slavic/Serbian....
Thats why Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians are primarily Haplogroup I2a, and Bulgarians, Macedonians are split between I2a and J and E1b1a, whereas most other Slavic peoples are overwhelmingly and predominately Haplogroup R1a, minus Northwest Russians who are split between R1a and N. Some people of course are R1a but its only the 2nd or 3rd most common in the area of the former Yugoslavia depending on area, and 3rd or 4th in Bulgaria. Overwhelmingly and close to over 50% of Balkan males are I2a. What does that mean? They were two distinct populations at one time and they simply adopted the Slavic language, absorbed some of the invaders, but their local I2a Y DNA remained predominate. There is a theory that the Serbo-Croatian language and Slavic culture that led to the South Slavic culture originated in what's now the border area of Germany and Poland, having migrated there previously from the Slavic Urheimat near the Eastern Poland and the Baltics, and they are related distantly to the Sorbians whom call themselves Serbi, and live mainly in Germany, but also Poland today, they also call themselves Wends, the theory is some migrated conquered the local Balkan peoples or brought the language with trade or farming etc., and then their culture became dominant, but the genes remained more local. The languages due to isolation branched into another group of Slavic languages, similar to how North and West Germanic languages split but like them share a common origin. The Bulgarian and Macedonian Slavic languages were originally related to that population but their population are almost entirely local Balkan peoples I2a and have significant influence from Turkic, Iranic, Greek, Dacian, and Scythian peoples and J and E1b1a predominate after I2a. The Slavic language became dominant but the people took the name of a Turkic tribe that ruled over them the Bulgars. Similar to how in Hungary the ruling class were Hunnic people related to the Xiongnu of China, but the people took the language of Uralic Urgic migrators/invaders part of this Hunnic coalition invading group whom also included some Germanic peoples and Iranic Scythian type peoples whom despite being Iranic speaking have a gene profile more like Slavs than modern day Iranians, the common people are themselves are primarily of Slavic and Germanic mixed stock with minor Finno-Urgic, Turkic, Dacian, and Hunnic admixture DNA.
These people's were sea peoples traders. Same as today. Chapters. Abra was a woman who got children with ham. Alexander the great. Abraic culture mixed with all races.
Reuben , laid with Jacob concubine. Jacob had 11 boys and one girl . These children had to married the ancestors. Solomon Saul , Reuben , Benjamin was black they had different races don't let me go to far. Some of them was travelers around the sea of Galilee. Solomon had 1000 wives he fell asleep in his sins.So we have to except our ancestors messed up.
Joseph was Germany , Read 1 Samuel 8-10 chapters. Jesus came out of Ruth and Boaz Ruth in the days of Moses herod tried to kill all the babies boys in that day because Jesus ancestors was hiding from the Nazis . Harod 😭 Rebecca and Isaac grandchildren Rachel was terrific for her children dying .Jacob and Esua .
The biggest misconception is that the people who call themselves jewish today aren't the same hebrews/jews from the bible. I know it's not easy for some to come to that understanding but it's not hard to see if you just look.
I’m from the tribe of Benjamin. Handed down from father to son throughout the ages. We Jews are very particular about handing down the exact stories as told by my ancestors. We are proud of our Israel, our history, our Torah, and our laws.
Being from the tribe of Benjamin, and of the Abrahamic Judaistic faith, I assume you understand the significant difference between being Jewish wherever you are and the political state of Israel (which assimilated and bastardized the name of Father Yaʿaqov).
May the LORD bless you for 1,000 generations. Israel is the Land formed in a day. The nations are deceived in their Antisemitism to believe that Israel is some colonial state. Meanwhile they live in places like USA, Australia, and the UK (true colonial states). They also must not have been to Israel and seen how dangerous Arab areas are for Christians and Jews while Jewish and Christian areas are welcoming to all. May you be blessed in the Name of Yeshua and HASHEM who are One. May you and all Israel be blessed forever.
Basically Jews originated from the Cainianites and just split off and borrowed the God Yaw Weh from the Caninites and completely made up their religion and culture over time as tribe
@claudiaclark6162 its a universally accepted fact that the israelites at least believed in the Canaanites religion. "El" was the chief god of the Canaanites. IsraEL, and many Hebrew names especially the arch angels MichaEL, GabriEL etc. invoke the name of the Canaanite god. The Israelites then started their own sect of that religion that is now called Yawhism, and they worshipped the same gods but had their own national god "Yaweh" similar to Athens having Athena but Zeus still being the greater Greek chief god. As the Israelites continued to separate more and more from Canaanite roots they replaced "El" with their lesser national god Yaweh. But even when Yaweh became their chief God, they still continued to be polytheistic until way after the time of Solomon. Judaism wasn't monotheistic until after the 2nd Temple. Judaism was a sect of the Canaanite religion.
"I think Israelite society was messy, just like a modern, traditional Middle Eastern society is messy" - This is a great quote by Dr. Maeir, and it reflects some of the facts and theories I've seen about the origins of the Israelites, i.e. that the original tribes were literal tribes of desert nomads and traders who were also well-connected to urban centers in the Levant until "something" brought the complementary tribes together as unit, thus pushing the majority firmly into urban life (though some percentage of families retained their nomadic heritage). DNA evidence shows that the Israelites and Canaanites were the same people, with the difference being the Israelites (until a point) were nomads while the Canaanites they later wrote about as enemies were the urban and mostly settled populace. Obviously, the Israelites eventually settled and became a political and religious power, but as Dr. Maeir points out that the evidence is scant for them suddenly overthrowing major citadels and urban cities as written in the Bible. As a recent example, the closest comparison in a desert nomadic culture and mobility are the Bedouin, who were divided by (often violent) tribal lines but lived in a sympathetic relationship together as necessary, and who all shared the same cultural habits, trade routes, religion, and social system despite not being as closely connected though urban centers the way it appears the Israelites were. In the Bible, the basic premise for the Jewish patriarchs is that they were desert nomads who were constantly on the move and at the mercy of the harsh and dangerous desert lifestyle. Looking at older descriptions of the Bedouin can fill that imaginative void when wondering how the early Israelite tribes lived before settling where they did.
I wonder how political Zionism reflects on archeology in the cis-jordan? I wonder if they speak anything which might be considered negative against the early patriarchal Exodus conquest narratives if it could jeopardize their tenure as professors?
I don't think that Abraham being said to come from Ur of the Chaldeas is a problem for the historicity of the story. As an example, If it was written, for instance, that Zarathustra came from Kazakhstan, it wouldn't be evidence that he didn't come from that region, or had had to live there sometime after the region was known as Kazakhstan. It's just that "Kazakhstan" is the easiest way to identify to the modern reader precisely where Zarathustra lived. The only inference that could be made is that whoever wrote that he was from Kazakhstan, was writing some time after the region became known as Kazakhstan. So the only thing that can be inferred is that that part of Genesis was written during or after the time of the Chaldeans coming to Ur.
Plus Sumeria is the oldest civilization in the middle east. Mesopotamia took it over. They expended down to Israel, through Syria and included Egypt. Abraham was a 1st nation in the bulk of Israel because noone settled the land with wells besides Abraham. The others lived near the river or Philistim in Gaza. Plus his family shepards for 4 generations in Israel/judea/Canaan unchallenged.
I have been looking at the Mesopotamian base 60 number system in Genesis 5 genealogy, which opens up questions to the ages being symbolic or related to a dynasty rather than an individual.
Abraham lived in Ur while it was called Ur. Ur was a city-state, not a region of land. It's only problematic to people who have the wrong timeline on mine and trust to adjust to newer findings that drastically change the known timeline.
@@blain20_ Yes. Ur was a Sumerian city state before Abraham. After Abraham, the Chaldeans gradually became the chief occupiers of Ur. Hence the Bible refers to it as "Ur of the Chaldeas". My point was that that only proves that by the time the History of Abraham had begun to be written, it was known as "Ur of the Chaldeas" It doesn't prove that Abraham lived there during the time of the Chaldeans.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like the israelites and the philistines formed almost in the same time, 1200 BC, at the end of bronze age. I would say both groups invaded/established in Canaan at approximately the same time.
The end of bronze age. you mean the end to the original (Hittite empire ?) .

Canaan was Ham’s son, ham was Noah’s oldest son. Abraham was from the bloodline of Noah’s son Shem. The Israelites who came out of Egypt, with Moses, were Abraham’s 12 great grandson’s bloodlines.
@@Angelica-fy9fr That's all assuming Noah was even a real person. I would argue that he was not and I do have evidence for saying that. The original flood story was on clay tablets made by the Sumerians thousands of years before the book of Genesis was even written. In the ancient flood story written about by the Sumerians, The God Enki created us and made us in the gods likeness with their knowledge which angered Enki's brother, Enlil. Enlil wanted to destroy us but Enki who loved us had a man named Upnapteshim build a boat to save humanity. Enki is likely who evolved into Lucifer as Hebrews became influenced by Zoroastrianism from Persia. So yeah, the much more ancient story of Enki, Upnapteshim and the flood evolved over thousands of years into the Hebrew story of Noah & The Ark.
It's not myth that the gods have communicated with mankind through our history. The true and good Alohiam is the only one you would want to hear from regularly.
The debate about a violent conquest, a small migration, an indigenous growth and a conclusion of a mixed origin reminds me of the debate of aryan invasion in india. I am fascinated by the idea of it being kick started by migrations within Canaan itself following the collapse of the First Egyptian Empire during the Bronze Age Collapse, which led to greater autonomy in the Levant. The chaos of this period is similar to what happened in the Greek Dark Ages and would explain the complexity of the twelve tribes.
💯 %. It’s like lights goes off and when it comes back on people have stories of magical things happening to claim land and righteousness. It’s the recipe for cults to start (100 years before they become religion. “Difference between cult and religion is 100 years.” It’s the time and disconnection. Reason North Korea considers their leader divine and a God is because they are disconnected from the world that could tell them they are deluded, which to be fair we are all deluded one way or another. But to be fair Judaism is a religion like all others of the ancient world that simply filtered through to the new world thanks to the relevance Christianity gave it. Despite how bad Christianity has been to the people historically, it’s been very important and necessary for the ideology to survive and grow. When the 2 major religions of the modern world point to one ancient tribal religion its value increases. Reason Zoroastrianism (much bigger ancient religion) only has 200K followers today but Judaism has 15 mil. So fascinating how evolution plays out.
Also “40 years” for a new generation that did not see the sea split moves in from the mountains or dessert is very conveniently a story. It’s telephone game.

I like studying ancient cultures. What I have noticed when checking dna of buried people it was found many various ethnicities. This makes sense if we look at different countries we can usually find varieties of people. I believe the same principles are with Jewish also. Years ago I was watching a program about Jewish history were it was suggested they originated in Mesopotamia now days Iraq. The epic of Gilgamesh describes world flood which closely resembles Noah’s flood in the Bible
They picked up the flood myth during the 1st Babylonian exile. Much of the old testament and specifically genesis was written during that period. The exiled jews likely had documents from the fallen kingdom of Israel and ancient texts and oral history from Judah. My theory is once exposed to the ancient zoroastrian religion and stories like the epic of gilgamesh, they were compelled to seriously write down their myths and incorporate them into the wider mythology of the region. Likely needed at a time where the elites were no longer in the Levant and also acted as a way to keep the exiled elite jews from losing their culture and identity. In whole they definitely weren't from messopatamia but much of the Bible was written there and inspired by stories like the Epic of Gilgamesh
Very timely video! I have a test in a few days on this exact subject. It's nice to hear the reiteration of what I'm already learning. Helps it stick a little better. Thanks for the great content!
@Peril Stroud Calm down, they are talking about what is currently verifiable with what is known from archaeological finds and texts that are not from the bible itself, you can't expect it to match perfectly as there's a lot that we don't know or can't verify yet
@@andreaarchaeology Clearly you do not know Torah/Bible. But because of his reaction and stressing Jacob/Esau, I am guessing he is a Black Hebrew Israelite.
I saw somewhere that some archeologists tag the earliest Israelite villages as those Canaanite villages that lack pig bones. Don't know if it's true, but their is a depiction of 'Israelites' outfitted in Canaanite garb on the Merneptah Stele dated around 1200 BC.
Archeology is full of long draws of the bow. Who knows if the claims on the Stele were wring in the first place. We can expect Israelis somewhere at sometime in Israel to wear Canaanite clothing, even to use their culture, but maybe they thought they were describing Israelis but were describing Canaanites. It's sort of that way, and the Egyptians would not be above propaganda, and over or understate things. If only they left some DNA with it, in a preservative in a samples container... You have to objectively look into things, to state what is known, and offer an opinion on it. But here, I'm finding my comment is being deleted for some strange reason of, probably of minor disagreement on interpretation of some little part of it. As when I thought I accidentally lost it, I posted a part copy by mistake. And that was highlighted, but when edited that to a full version it got deleted.. The present researcher states this and that, but I can see problems with it and have seen what others are claiming.
Very interesting, thank you. I am fairly new to delving into history and origins so excuse me if this is an ignorant statement/question. The discussion regarding where the Israelites originated from made me wonder. I wonder if they are better described as originating from a connected nomadic group prior to leaving that life to a settled/location based group??? I thought this because the presenters seemed to accept they originated from several areas in the region. Also, the word 'Israelites' when used by Egypt, seems to be in the context which describes the habit of the people rather than a derived location??? Finally I thought the wandering in the dessert points to a people who were comfortable with a nomadic lifestyle??? Just some thoughts, I would welcome any clarifications or views.
The word "Israelites" (or any cognate) was never used by the Egyptians. In fact there is nothing whatsoever in Egyptian sources about any of the events recounted in Genesis and Exodus.
Well, its' thought, from an academic standpoint, that "Hebrews" or "Israelites" weren't actually, originally "one people" or one genetic cluster, as the biblical narrative suggests. Meaning, it wasn't likely began by 12 sons of a guy named Jacob, nor were they and the rest of the regions populations likely the descendants of a guy named Abraham , nor is it likely that the people of the Afro-Eurasian sphere were descended all from 3 sons of a guy named "Noah". This is all, almost certainly, mythology. Now the mythology likely served an important purpose, to unify, to create one people out of many disparate people with shared experience. Ancient Egypt, who ruled over the Levant, prior to the Bronze Age collapse, around 1200 BCE or so let's say, had numerous colonies. As did the Hittites, Minoans, Assyrians, Sabaeans, Babylonians, Persians and so on. Really, all the major civilizations of the time had colonies. And while this isn't particular to Egypt, Egyptians certainly did not like having to live or work in the "colonies". So much like the Greeks, Romans and most other Empires, whether contemporaneous or after, they would hire mercenary soldiers, workers, bureaucrats, artisans and so on from outside Egypt, to live and work in those colonies. Thus, the Levantine would have been populated by Canaanites, Phoenicians, and other similar indigenous groups, along with the many hired to run and stabilize the area for Imperial Egypt. There also would have been merchants and businessmen from all over and so on. Many, along with the soldiers, diplomats, priests, and those working for Egypt, would have married and started up families, local Canaanite women, or women from surrounding regions of Mesopotamia, Anatolia/Caucasus, Ethiopia, Egypt, Persia and maybe even India and so on. Some of them possibly multiple generations living and working in Canaan. Marrying into the same extended Canaanite families and eventually forming a unique culture. This culture, think of a place like Singapore, or maybe more accurately an Empire like the Ottomans, who used a great many "foreigners" to run its empire. Like the broadly Balkan Janissary. That culture would have had influences largely from Egypt, Canaan, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, but really, with influences from many places, peoples and faith practices. And thus, many different mythologies, religions, legends, customs and so on, not all necessarily meshing. And at this point there were still Philistines and many other small ethnic groups living in greater near East region. Thus when the Bronze Age collapse occurred, Egypt withdrew from Canaan, packed up and left. Which meant there would have been, well, I suppose many hundreds if not a few thousand people, from a diverse array of regions, now established and settled in Canaan. They would have been very interconnected, again, through many Canaanite families which they would be married into. And again, multiple generations of these foreigners living there. Some of course would have brought their own wives and families from wherever. And there of course were probably many Egyptians. Just not mostly, but I'm sure a large portion. And when Egypt withdrew, most of these now established, for all intents and purposes "Canaanites", would have needed to establish order and rule. The archaeology of this time shows a large settler movement in to the hills of Judea and Samaria around this time. Which might have meant these peoples aggregating in that region to avoid attacks, now that the power of Egypt was gone. They also would have then, in order to unify, forged a federation or "group" of some sort. And how do you unify a group of disparate people, with influences from all variety of regions? Well, one way, one of the main ways throughout history no matter where you go, is to devise a common mythology, a unifying mythology. And it's quite possible that is what the "Israelites" were, and that is what the story of Jacob likely was was as well as the Exodus mythos. A unifying mythology, connected through more common regional mythologies, like the flood myths, which were wide spread, or the idea of Noah and his sons, or the idea of Abraham and so on, the rest of the pre-Jacob biblical account likely a combination of various regional cultural, mythological and religious legends, all united in narrative. It has even been suggested that each "tribe of Israel" was a different "people" or "family". At some point in the bible, a Benjaminite is referred to as "the Hittite". Another named "Cushi". Actually a few named Cush or Cushi. There is another part the mentions someone being a Amorite I believe or Moabite. Anyway. Archaeology and biblical interpretation has led to a hypothesis that the tribe of Dan was originally from the Aegean, possibly from Crete or Greece itself, possibly related to the Philistines. For starters, the tribe of Dan's traditional "territory" is thought to be along the coast, directly above the Philistine territory, literally connected to it. Archaeology of that area has uncovered many pots in the Greek style, which isn't common outside of the Philistine and tribe of Dan region. They have also uncovered these bird statues that were very common in Crete. There were also pig remnants, and dna suggests the pigs there were of European origin. There are also biblical passages that kind of isolate the tribe of Dan as being "different" somehow, in a negative way. And then we have the story of Sampson, which definitely appears to reflect elements of the Heracles myth. Just the archetype of Heracles, which is rather unusual for the Levant and Israelites and Hebrew bible. His long hair, his strength, his pulling down the pillars of the building and so on. It's possible that myths of these other lands were integrated into the narrative, Hebrewified of course, but still representative of earlier populations. And this could possibly be done with all the tribes. There are other biblical passages which associate certain tribes, at times with different people, or use names associated with different cultures outside Canaan. While the majority of women and families likely would have been Canaanite, there were certainly a lot of Mesopotamians also. And at that time, capturing women, in conquest or raid was not uncommon either. SO there was probably a fair amount of foreign women. The tribe of Levi for instance, might have been a group of Egyptian priests, who maintained their position through this new unifying mythology. Maybe Benjamin was a Hittite related tribe, maybe Ephraim was an Assyrian related tribe, or whatever. Maybe some from the Caucasus, probably Cush, Ethiopia, Libya, and wherever else. heh, so basically, this could also explain why many different places of origin are mentioned. And why there are multiple connections to and through Egypt and different points. The Exodus was possibly about Egypt leaving Canaan and not Israelites actually leaving the Nile Delta. All though it could have something to do with a memory of the Hyksos, who were a Canaanite people. So memory of the Hyksos era might have informed some of the Israelite history and mythology. The overall specifics are not so clear. But in combination, the archaeology, mythology, and also the genetics, suggest this type of origin for the Israelites. Regardless of what the biblical narrative states, as that biblical narrative would have likely been forged to unify these disparate groups during a time of need. In terms of genetics, we can see a consistent array of male lineages, in Y-haplogroup of the Jewish people, which generally, all coalesce around the Bronze Age. It's thought that there were about 600 founding males of the Jewish population, which seem to correlate across all Jewish groups, with some outliers. But even the Y haplos themselves suggest a diverse array of people from different regions. And don't tell the American "Hebrew Israelites" this, but there were probably even "black Israelites" especially from Cush and Ethiopia. Maybe not a ton, but likely some at least. And another hypothesis is that Levites were a combination of all the tribes. As priests were originally supposed to come from the eldest sons. Which at the time of "Moses" was granted to the Levites. So perhaps they took representatives of all the tribes, and joined them together as "brothers" as Cohen/Levites. Or perhaps Cohen were a specific group and Levites were built around them so that at least all "tribes" were represented within the Levites, who would of course be living among all tribes. Now certainly, I think some of these people would have had a nomadic lifestyle or nomadic traditions. Almost certainly. And as he said in the video, Habiru probably doesn't mean all Habiru were Hebrew, but certainly, many Hebrew might have been Habiru originally. Same for say the Hyksos, I think around 1800 BCE. And we see at least some WERE nomadic, in the story of David and the presence of shepherding in general. Further, EL, YHWH Elohim and the Israelite God is clearly a combination or different variations of previous, Bronze Age Canaanite pagan gods. There seems to have been a god YHHW I think it is, which was followed by a nomad people of the Negev/Sinai region. Which is possibly where YhWh comes from. On this last part, I'm not 100%, but just a theory. Well anyway, you get the idea. Hope that helps a bit.
@@jessereichbach588 incredible.. Jordan Petersons study of Genesis matched beliefs in Hebrew were very similar to Egyptian Mythology specifically the Death of Osiris at the hands of his brother Seth but then brought back to life by his son Horus who descends into the underworld to retrieve his father giving him his eye and restoring the kingdom. What fascinates me if Petersons musings are right...then while Egypt views the mythical figure restores the old kingdom with new vision the possible Egyptian priest now Levi's crafted the opposite perspective of this Civil War. They craft a Mythology of a corrupt king and a mythical figure and guardian escorting these priest with brash new ideas into Cannan free to practice their new ideas and mixing them with the many nomadic tribes. This could have been the impetus to settle and conquer the land with divine purpose motivating the destruction.
I was hoping this would start with Noah’s three sons and their lineage. We know the Ashkenazi are from Japheth’s lineage and are not Shemitic or from Shem’s lineage. So what happened to Shem’s lineage or the blessed Shemites and Hamites?

Exactly, the Europeans are not the Authority, the editing he suggested was done by Europeans. There named after Jacob, then he questioned of the history. Then he states The scholars are confused about the existence of the tribes, the European Roman's and the Jesuits tainted world history because we are in the Roman Empire. The fourth beast of Daniel chp 7. If he is Jewish his lineage doesn't go back to the ancient Israelites, he is Israeli, Jewish not Judean
And only the blessed seed from Abram is Isaac to Jacob who's name was changed to Yasharahla meaning, Prince of the power. Hamites wasn't blessed. This guy has nothing but word salad.
There is also the question of the evolution of the alphabet. The exodus of the Israelites seems to reflect the evolutionary steps of the alphabet, from the Hieratic cursive script of Egypt, passing through the Proto-Sinaitic and Proto-Canaanite scripts, and finally giving birth to the Phoenician and Paleo-Hebrew abjads.
The explanation for why the authors wrote “Chaldeans” instead of some older word for Babylonians: when they wrote it down for the Abraham story, they knew most people wouldn’t know the older word, so they replaced it with a newer word. So the likelihood that the books come from an older, oral tradition is still likely and not contradicted by Bronze Age history. And this is a simpler explanation than claiming conspiracy, which is the alternative. EDIT: I guess this wasn’t totally clear. Consider the statement “the Dutch founded New York”. To a reader living in 4022, and applying the standards modern scholars apply, this statement would be false because the Dutch didn’t call it “New York” but instead “New Amsterdam”. The name “New York” did not exist until much later. And yet, we know the Dutch founding of New York to be true. So why do we not apply the standard we give ourselves to the biblical authors? Seriously. This is a great concern.
The simplest explanation is that the authors were completely ignorant of the then ancient history of southern Mesopotamia (as well as their own land and Egypt) and had no idea that it had ever been inhabited by anyone other than the Chaldeans. They don't seem to be aware that there was a linguistic divide between East and West Semitic languages as far back as the Bronze Age, or that "pharaoh" was not used as a title for Egyptian monarchs at the time the Exodus is supposed to have occurred, or that Hebrew was very closely related to other Canaanite languages and not to the language of Ur of the Chaldees, or that their own ancestors had been polytheistic not too long in the past, or that Yahweh and El/Elohim had been different gods at one time. So it may very well have been based on an older oral tradition - I'm pretty confident that it was - but that doesn't mean that tradition was transmitted accurately at all.

Archeology is ISRAEL'S GREATEST WEAPON. Archeology is the blueprint proving ancient civilizations, history and origins. Every other week JEWISH ARCHEOLOGY SURFACES PROVING JEWISH HISTORY AND ORIGINS.
Can we say that the Israelites were a particular group of people of semite origen closely related to Canaanites that over time developed into a semi power kingdom of their own?
Study the Ugaritic Hittite texts and those from other civilizations that had a real presence in the Levant, which the Hebrews never did. It is a mythological historical fiction that never happened the way it was written. It is a 'narrative' based on no truth associated with the alleged Hebrews. There are no scriptures older than the Dead Sea Scrolls which are very late compositions, late 2nd century BC to 2nd century AD. The western mind is controlled by an utter fiction.
@@canadiankewldude So your answer would be yes. Stay ignorant and on your knees. You can't even prove that Jesus lived. No archaeological evidence for his existence whatsoever. You are living an illusion based on faith because there is no truth to support it. The religion was framed around an alleged vision by Paul, of a man he never laid eyes, on and claimed he was Jesus. FACT.
As someone interested in history vs mythology, it seems most likely that the Jews were essentially Canaanites even if their original nomadic origins are murky. Jews were essentially religious rebels pushing monotheism over the worship of multiple gods largely practiced at the time. As part of this they adopted a lifestyle and mythology that purposely set them apart from the other Canaanites and nearby peoples. Islam is a similar exercise and clearly somewhat influenced by Jewish thought. The Kaaba, the holiest of Islamic sites, now completely dedicated to 'one God-ism' is said to have once held 360+ deities to worship, pre-Islam.

I'm not quite sure about his point on Jericho. You can visit the ruins and there are interesting observations. Is he saying it's not from the correct time period? You know all time keeping is relative and flawed? Our current time keeping wasn't reliably set until the 1800s. The further back you go, the more unreliable any date is with all the various systems used and mistakes recorded.
Us modern day Israelites are alive and well. We were scattered just like the Bible said we'd be in Duetoronomy 28:68 and we are John 10:34 and we no longer suffer from Hosea 4:6 and we know God loves us Romans 9:13. We're the only people on this earth who lived Duetoronomy 28:41. We're from Jerusalem and me myself come from the Tribe of Judah and the Bible is a book written by the Israelites, to the Israelites and for the Israelites. We are the original Israelites not the Israelis.
I once found an amateur website that makes the claim that the Amarna heresy was the Exodus. One claim I found to be interesting is the person they claim archeology has discovered named Ramose. The claim is that archeological evidence shows this person was prominent in Egypt, disappeared from the record, and returns as a general. The authors allege that during the whole aten thing "Ramose" would've become Mose when it became illegal to write old gods names, and that josephus says moses was a general. It seems like an intriguing premise but I don't know of any scholarly critiques, would anyone here be aware of such a thing?
Question: why would the fact that the Chaldieans came in later an issue. Perhaps Moses called them that because that was who was there at the time. Much like we do now, calling peoples or places in the name we know them now vs the name they had before then that was less know.
Because they weren't there in Moses' time either, they weren't there until the Iron Age. In the time when Moses is supposed to have lived the Chaldeans lived in the Levant and had nothing to do with southern Mesopotamia.
1213 AD the Merneptha stele in Egypt. It reads that the "people of David were shorn, "or something like that. This is a sign that Istaelites were a nation at least since 1200 BC.
There is a place in Turkiye called Ur that is near Haran, I think that is where Abraham is from. Also the Bible says that he was an Aramean; soon after he left his home he became a Hebrew. All of this was about less than 200 years after the flood.
I wonder how much of the Israelite origins can be traced back to Sumerians and the city of UR, where Abraham comes from according to the scripture. Are there any clues supporting that claim other than archeological, for example in artefacts or DNA-sampling, linguistic similarities, etc?
@J.P. It's amazing. I have a Sorani Kurdish friend and I can relate quite a few words to French, Italian and sometimes to germanic langauges. Kurdi is closely related to Farsi and Farsi in turn is related to Sanskrit, Hindi and Urdu. I also remember that it were the Persians who liberated the Hebrews from their expulsion to Babylon by the Assyrians and that the Persian Shahmsa Shah ordered the reconstruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Looking at history, I sometimes wonder why on God's green earth people fight eachother over holy ground, places and scripture or man made rules. It all seems utterly pointless, pretty much like the wheel of eternal return (birth, life, death, rebirth) in the vedic scriptures. It seems we're doomed to repeat it witthout end until we learn we're all brothers and sisters. Prophets who tried to shine that light never were honored in their time, were they.... What a waste!
Here we have definite proof from a Pharaoh of Egypt (grandfather of King Tut) for Yahweh and a people associated with Yahweh dwelling in Canaan. In Exodus, God tells Moses this is the the name I will be know for all generations -- go tell the Hebrews in Egypt and Pharaoh that YAHWEH/God of Hebrews says let my people depart Egypt. The inscription at Soleb corroborates the Biblical account in Exodus. This also says the Exodus from Egypt by the people of Yahweh must of happened during or BEFORE the reign of Amenhotep III. .... If the Biblical account is true, there should be a death of the 1st born in Pharaoh's family some time before the reign of Amenhotep III. Amenhotep's father, Thutmose IV became Pharaoh because the 1st born Prince died unexpectedly. That would make Amenhotep II the Pharaoh of the Exodus and the one that Moses/Aaron interacted with. Amenhotep II inherited/and-helped his father, Thutmose III, make Egypt the greatest military power. ... For me everything starts with Amenhotep III (father of Akhenaten; grandfather of Tutankhamun). People/shashu of Yahweh is inscribed at his temple at Soleb. This according to Exodus is the name of the Hebrew God and first given to Moses to reveal to the Israelites and Pharaoh. These people of Yahweh already reside in Canaan during Amenhotep III reign. These are the Hebrews before they became the nation of Israel/Judah. Yahweh precedes Akhenaten's "one" god in Egypt.
They lived in the dessert for 40 years , Armana is in the dessert and it fits the story, mabey Thutmoses lll, inslaved a large part of the people of Jericho. And Akenaten left with "his" people the slaves that raised and protected him.
@@m.j.debruin3041It's pretty amazing that the walls of Jericho tumbled down and made a ramp for Israelites to walk up. The burned destruction layer shows large jars full of burnt grain. The pottery dating of this destruction is around 1400 BC. The ruins of Jericho bare this out -- verifying the Biblical narrative. Oh apparently on section of the mud brick walls did NOT collapse -- supporting the narrative that Rahab escaped the collapse of the walls. In Joshua her house was against/part of the wall.
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION Since you won't take proof - the digs at Jericho, at Yemen that have taken decades. Guess your mind is already made up. So no use discussing facts with you. You won't even lift a finger to do a simple google search or UA-cam search. OK your mind is already made up -- don't bother with the facts. I get it.
Bryant Wood reviewing the pottery dating of Kathleen Kenyon for destruction layer including the upper wall of Jericho collapsing concluded that the date for the pottery was around 1400 BC/BCE. Apparently the upper wall of Jericho collapsed and overflowed the lower wall of Jericho making a ramp up the lower wall. This date kind of fits with the narrative that Amenhotep II's first born, the prince, died unexpectedly and that he was the Pharaoh of the Exodus/Moses. And 40+ years later, Joshua began the conquest west of the Jordan at Jericho.
According to more recent studies that feature evidence from the skeletal remains of ancient Canaanites compared with DNA of current Jewish and Arab/Palestinian residents of the area. As Prof. Maeir states, the modern populations are closely related, and both are related to the ancient Canaanites. Some may wonder about the ancient Philistines. The ancient Philistines were Greek peoples -- part of the invading group known as the Sea Peoples -- and have not been found to be related either to modern Jews or to modern Palestinian Arabs. These ancient DNA samples, again, were taken from ancient Philistine remains. The unique features of ancient Philistine DNA appear to have been lost to history, likely when the Philistines were finally vanquished by the invading Babylonians. So far, they haven't been found among modern human populations. So the notion of associating modern Palestinians with the Philistines is invalid. These findings are *not* about the modern method of estimating ethnicity used by companies like Ancestry and MyHeritage, whose methods are questionable at best.
The next geneticists you bring in that talks about Israelites should be asked about the supposed lost tribes of Israel and how legitimate are the claims.
My understanding is that the word "hebrew" is a broader term and included all the decendents and relatives of the patriarchs (including Ishmael, Lot and Esau's families, Abraham also had more sons after Isaac, so their children too, Jacob had a daughter named Dinah as well, maybe he had more but the Bible uses her name, she went to Egypt with her father so her children would be most likely assimilated into this group) the focus on Israel as a nation didnt happen until Jacob's name was changed and his families story took place. They still are referred to as hebrews in the Exodus, because technically yes they are a part of that broader group, but they are also forming their own national identity out of Jacob/Israel's lineage. Maybe that is the wrong understanding, but that is how I see it. Explains why the dna is so close, because everyone in that region is related. Cousins, half-siblings, some married Cannanites, some married Egyptians, Moses married a Midianite, then when they got back to the promise land we know one of them married Rehab from Jericho...we know Sampson married Philistine women, so you have to assume others did as well. The Bible says many times that the Israelites would fall away from their beliefs and take up Idol worship, so you will most definitely find non kosher things in the households...it was a pattern throughout the Old Testament.
@@HeilYahshua Correct. I believe everyone I listed, but the Eygptians falls under that umbrella technically, because Midian was one of Abraham's other son's by his wife Keturah if my memory serves me correctly. But some Egyptians left with them into the wilderness. They were married in basically. Also, Joseph's family would have been of Egyptian descent as well. The Philistines and Cananites wouldnt count either I suppose. But they still married in. So kind of a melting pot.
I have never read that Esau is pure (adamite), could you point me to where that is written in the bible? He was of the same bloodline as Jacob(Israel). Abraham and most likely his wife Sarah (think she might have been a half sister) was a descendent of Eber, as was Lot his nephew (Moabites (includes Ruth) and Ammonites). Issac, Ishmael plus a bunch of others sons and daughters by his wife Keturah in turn would be descendents of Eber. Rebekah, Issaacs wife was also a cousin from the lineage of Nahor, also from Eber, meaning Jacob and Esau, and all their children would be considered descedants. Leah and Rachel as well (daughters of Laban(Rebekahs brother). And just because a different ethnicity marries into a family, doesn't erase the fact that their children will have an ancestor that they might not have. We are all descendants of Noah and Adam ultimately. We aren't different races of people. Our DNA is 99.999 percent the same. That teenie tiny percentage after is what makes us unique looking. The world has always been a melting pot. The Israelites today are a melting pot of people, they have all kinds of skin tones all across the world. They always have. God told them not to marry other people because of their paganism not color of their skin. People who weren't direct descendents from the 12 tribes still chose to follow YHWH and married into the family. The Diaspora added on to this. I was literally reading the book of Ezra last week. The men were allowed to come back to Judea to rebuild their temple and got involved with some ladies that were not Jewish, they got reprimanded. But the women were allowed to live and they had children - during the time of Jesus their descendants would be apart of what the bible calls the Samaritans (Woman at the well). They were treated as second class, but still were still related. If we believe the story of Esther to be true she married a Persian. The bible is filled with so many stories like this. We know the son's of Jacob married the women of Cannan. Their wives and children are the one's that came with them to Egypt. And their descendants are called Hebrew in Exodus. Tamar and Rahab are Cananite women both in the lineage of king David and ultimately Jesus. We know during the Roman era that "Jewish" people were spread out everywhere as well. Saul (turned to Paul) was born in what we now consider southern Turkey. So I am sure most of the Jewish people married within their communities, but history repeats itself, and there were most likely converts and or marriage to women/men of other ethnicities. Hence the melting pot we see today, because we all are. I am not trying to whitewash anything either. I believe the people in the Old Testament ranged from olive to dark brown. Due to their Semitic origins and early marriage with Hamitic people groups (Cananites, Egyptians). But through the years they married other groups too. So you are going to have a plethora of skin tones. Solomon had tons of women in his life, so who knows where they all came from. Sheba included. She was possibly Yemenite or Ethiopian. So lots of marriages. Philistines who some people believe are very early people's from places that are now the islands surrounding Greece and Italy. They were enemies, but we know that Sampson married Delilah, so you have to assume others did as well. When they have done DNA studies on bones. A lot of the philistine genetics eventually blend with the peoples of the area. We can go outside of the Bible too and look at the location and peoples of the Mediteranean. They all traded with each other, it was a central location for constant takeover from other nations. It was very easy to jump across the pond and start a new life and have relations with your neighbors. My cousins kids are a great example of how you can be multi-ethnic, but still share same ancestor. I wont deep dive into their entire genetic heritage, but they have some ancestors from West African ethnic backgrounds and some European ethnic backgrounds. They might have a slight variation from me since I don't have anscestors from the region's in the West Africa, but we still share the same Viking ancestors. Doesn't change that. Genetics are a fascinating thing.
@@HeilYahshua the bible literally says Ruth was a moabite. Naomi her mother in law was an Israelite. The whole story of Ruth and Naomi is Ruth telling Naomi she that Naomi's God will be her God as well. Then they move back to Israel, and Ruth ends up marrying Boaz. Secondly, I don't believe in different "races". I dont know what kind of Bible you read. In Ezra it mentions "Holy" race. But that is talking about a people that keeps God's commands and doesnt follow pagan beliefs, nothing to do with their ethnic heritage.
@@HeilYahshua I took hebrew lessons for a time. And was taught that Adam is mankind, ha-adamah is earth (clay, soil, land), and dam is blood. So one can assume that yes Adam means man of red clay. But that is describing what materials he is made up of. That is our creation story. We are all descendants of Adam. Do you not believe in the story if the flood in the bible? Technically Esau would have been a descendant of Shem one of Noah's sons. He married women that were descendants of another son of Noah Ham. All can go back to Adam though. What is your worldview exactly? I dont want to call you a racist, but you keep bringing up race. God isn't a racist God. The bible says people of all tribes and nations will stand before the throne. Do you realize "racism" has ties to the belief in evolution. Evolution says we come from animals. And some of us are more evolved than others. Yes we share DNA with animals, but we also share DNA with trees and water, because we are of ha-adamah, the earth. Do you believe God created mankind from the earth or do you think we evolved from animals? That is going to help me understand the things you are saying, because I think we might be coming from two very different worldviews. I have never ever read the Bible and concluded or interpreted anything you are saying. So I am really confused. Now if you are taking the word Edom (which translates to red) then sure maybe they were reddish looking people. But it seems like you are jumping through hoops to conclude that Esau was a "pure adamite" when the bible actually tells us that Abraham and even Eber were descendants of Shem, who ya, would be a descendent of Adam, but so would Ham and Japheth. The only thing that hasn't been mentioned is the Nephilim and how they fit into the story. And what your beliefs are on them. Maybe that is what is bringing you to these conclusions.
The expert should know that it was the $64,000 question from a 1950’s quiz show. Getting the first statement wrong doesn’t increase confidence, does it?
8:36 it’s not problematic at all. The reason they are having so much issues is because the further you go back in history the darker the Israelites get. Straight up. It angers me so much that I’m a black 5 time convicted felon from a place called Phoebus in Hampton, Va and I know more than these people with 3 letter titles and pieces of paper who are highly esteemed. All I know is what I read. And I study and research UNBIASEDLY (I think I made that word up lol but you get the picture) this is bias research picked through and some downright lies. It makes me mad. Because people look to these people and they just tell lies and omit info. Give the people the info and let them decide why are you giving info false in most cases to build a narrative? Baal or El is not a Semitic deity it’s a Hamitic deity. It was worshipped in the land of Canaan, and then the Israelites took it from them, killed them and took it, and named it Israel. Back then lands were named after the people that the people there descended from. Hence the name Canaan. And after that Israel. Everyone had their own culture, god, and laws. Now who was Canaan? The grandson of Ham! If you are Semitic that means you descend from Shem, the brother of Ham. How the hell is Baal or El a Semitic deity? If it’s the god of a Hamitic people? Not to say the Israelites didn’t worship him at a point of time. But the GOD of the Israelites is the GOD of the Bible. Deuteronomy 4:19, 20. No one else had HIM he was exclusive to the Israelites. Damn man how do I know more than people who went to school for 10 years? Or more? Or less? Fact check this. This man is lying. Another thing, if you descend from Shem, your Semitic too! Out of Shem came Eber. Another word for Hebrew. And Abraham, the Hebrew, had different sons. And grandsons. So you have Hebrew Israelite. Hebrew Edomites. Hebrew Ishmaelites. Hebrew Elamites. Hebrew Moabites. Hebrew Ammonites, and the list goes on. But the chosen line is the Hebrew Israelites. Damn yo
Why there should be finds representing an invasion around 1210 B.C.? Some Kanaanites went to Egypt and came back a few generatios later. Why the finds should differ? Egyptians an Kanaanite finds should be normal in Kanaan at this time. And the few different finds may show a slightly different history. Many peoples have stories like the destruction of Jericho, but they represent not war. They represent a form of Ethnogenesis hidden under a story of destruction and murder. Wouldn't this be a possibility for the Israelite history? For me it would match the archaeological finds better than the traditional biblical picture and the new one of a people developing just in Kanaan. And it's closely to the theory described by Dr. Maeir within the video.
Realy? Ever heard of the greek translation Phoenicia and Phoeniciens? Today, of course, it's a neutral expression, meaning all the people, who lived in Canaan, which, by the way, is just a geographical expression, a little bit like we speak of the Levante or the middle east. Within the Bible the use of these expressions is more complicated.
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION Germans do not call themself 'Germans' or 'Allemands'. That doesn't mean, that there are no germans in the middle of Europe, they just use the adjective 'deutsch'. Furthermore there are a lot of Europeans. They are Europeans, because they live in Europe, between the atlantic ocean and the Ural Mountains. They don't need to belong to a certain nation or the EU to be Europeans. And there have been people living in Canaan. And despite the question, which names they used themself, they all can be called Canaanites. Furthermore we know from ancient sources, that the Phoenicians called themself Phoenicians at a certain point of history. We don't know if they did so, because the Greeks and Romans did so or because they spoke the western Canaanite dialect or because of living in that area, or because they thought of them as one people. But, as shown above, it is not important, how they called themself or which peoples lived there. They can be called Canaanites, because they lived in Canaan. And archaeological finds prove, that the region was inhabited in ancient times. As you will notice, the bible uses the term differntly: Within the bible Canaanites are people, who live in Canaan without being hebrew. But geographically the Hebrews must be included in that term. And even the biblical term doesn't define their nationality: According to the biblical use of the word, they had just to live in Canaan and not being Hebrew to be Canaanites.
Why is it that a people who are defended by powerful governments and religious groups so hard to find? The lack of historical evidence presented here throws much into disrepute.
Is this "Dr" completely clueless? "Isra" means wrestle or contest "El" means God. The name was given first to Jacob according to Hebrew texts. It also has been engraved in proto-Canaanite language prior to the evolution of Hebrew language, on local indigenous currency 👉🏼 Shekel. Same currency is today adopted by modern Israeli state. We actually have many indigenous symbols on our coins which adopted from Canaanite times. 𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋 - ישראל Same alphabet
Anyone who thinks antisemites should be debated, doing so assumes that it serves any purpose or can be rational. By its' nature prejudice is irrational. Love the vid.
@@imnhtp2006 The episode emphasises clearly what can be supported with archaeological evidence and where it is lacking, including for the Exodus story. Not even clear what you think I should be searching?
@@imnhtp2006 I guess I got confused as this episode would not be helpful for anyone trying to use history the way you cite. Not just as the presenter points out the lack of evidence for Exodus but also pointing out the DNA similarities between Palestinians and Jews and mentioning the theory that Palestinians are descended from Jews who converted.
The Egyptian word ‘Hapiru’ meant ‘Bedouin land-thieves’ which describes tent dwellers who travell’d with their flocks and who carried around their own clan-god YHWH in a tent (aka ‘tabernacle’) until Jedediah/Solomon c. 920 BCE when the Phoenician Hiram of Tyre built a Stone & Wooden Temple on Mt Moriah near Mt Tzion of the Jebusites for YHWH & 20 other gods under him (Solomon & David married dozens of gentile wives who brought their own clan gods with them from their various city-states); interestingly Levi was not given land & may have been the only ‘Yisroelites’ who came from ‘elsewhere’ -Mosheh (‘son of’) & Miriam (‘princess’) Aaron & Phineas are all Egyptian names-the rest of the Tribes were essentially ‘Canaanite’ aborigines who worshipp’d El, Shaddai, Molech, Astarte, Azazel, Amon, Hadad, Ba’al etal. whose separate cults became merged into the cult of YHWH (‘a wandering Syrian Bedouin ready to starve was my father; a Canaanite was my mother’... said Avram according to the mad prophet Hezekiel...)
No, it did not. It meant murderers, robbers, or outlaws. it had no ethnic connotation, it was a class marker, more or less like our "thug," and included people of many ethnicities including some Indo-Europeans and some East Semites. And it wasn't an Egyptian word, it was a Sumerian word (SA. GAZ) translated to "habiru" by the Semitic Akkadians and only used by the Egyptians much later and usually when writing in Akkadian.
Great lecture excellent questions. thank you. one thing i like about much of Jewish academia that is very different than i found at Christian "academia" like Liberty University, is Dr. Maeir is not unique in that many Jewish scholars let the evidence lead, and seek truth where ever it leads. Sadly, the 'research' at my university was the exact opposite and frankly the vast majority of this generations christian 'academia' -that I have experienced - is not interested in following the evidence, rather in manipulating the evidence and redirecting attention away from truth, back to narrative. Researching religion is a true test of character because there is so much invested in that narrative. Kudos to those who do it honestly.
That depends. Harvard is a Christian school. There’s a big difference between a school that has so association with a religion and one of these ridiculous shit tier schools tied to televangelist types.
i feel like this subject requires careful research and scepticism. its like jewish folk festivals claiming their backround is a victory over greece or persia.. and the greek, persians and other peoples are like, what ? where ? when ? how ? what ?? certain subjects just happen to have a complicated relationship with truth.
Thanks for sharing this first episode, looking forward for the next episodes. Biblical Hebrew is a good source to understand their origin. "Whether we call the Creator of synonyms and antonyms the ALL, ALLAH or EL, let all the children of Noah know that we are all in the same boat, that we are all cognates with Biblical roots." Isaac E. Mozeson, The Word.

After Israel (10 tribes) was taken into captivity by Assyria in 750 BC the remaining two Tribes were Judah and Benjamin, thus the people were called Judeans or Judah. Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, Father of the 12 tribes. Ur chronology is wrong by 200 years, the Exodus was in the 1500 century BC ir, more precisely 1447. It wasn’t so long ago that Nebuchadnezzar was considered a myth until the Ishtar Gates were dug up out of the desert sands and so much history still lies buried beneath those sands. Egyptians plough their fields over the ancient history of Egypt.
The original Ur-Ra-El tribe was 10...July and August was added by the Catholic Roman conquest of Ceasars/Khazar/ Flaviaus clan... Julius (July) and Augusta (August).
I tend to lean toward 1447.- I saw a line by Josephus that mentioned the daughter of the Pharo Thuth being the mother of Moses, I think. It has been a while. I associate the expulsion of the Hyksos in the eighteenth dynasty with both the "Exodus" and the devastation of the eruption of the Aegean volcano near that time. There does seem to be a discrepancy in the time for the major event, if there were only one eruption.
5:57 - 😅 he uses ‘Palastine’ which was not a name the existed until 60-70AD, and was named by the Romans to separate the connection to the land of Judah & Israel by using a romanized name of the Philistines (as a double blow)- Palestine. But the Palestinians absolutely wasn’t a thing or a name of any land or even town anytime near that time period.. Yet he uses this name while simultaneously arguing that “as a historian, archeologist, scientist, we must use critical thinking and look for evidence that is extra biblical (never mind the Bible is 73 Books spanning millennia, and numerous authors), while also using Palestine as a name of the Canaanite/ Israeli area of the Levant 🤦🏾♀️
"Similarities in writing"!? The Israelites just about had a monopoly on literacy in Canaan. The Canaanites left no writing behind in their own language. When their kings wrote to Egypt, they wrote in Accadian cuneiform on clay tablets.
Everyone is black Deuteronomy 28 explains what happened to the Hebrew Israelites Ya’akov “Jacob” 12 kids and Genesis 15: 12-21 Ruach Ha’Kodesh explains to Avraham what will happen to his Descendants and Ruach Ha’Kodesh also explains what will happen to the Nations that enslaved his people....

Any possible connection then, given how 'L' and 'R' are interchangeable between languages/dialects at given points in time and locality, between the Sam'al/Yaudi kingdom and Samaria? 🤔 If so, it looks like the northern Israelites were more closely related to Syrians and the Judeans more closely related to early Arabs, all these groups being closely related with each other of course but developed their own distinct cultures over time.
The Rabbinic idea of not mixing meat and milk is definately a Rabbinic practice that came later, the commandment of Yehovah was do not boil a goat kid in its mother’s milk, not because God was abolishing a cheeseburger from our diets, it came from a Canaanite pagan practice to Baal where boiling a kid in its mother’s milk held pagan worship implications, and if you are Orthodox Jew, remember that Abraham took a kid and made gravy with milk and served it to the Angels of Yehovah and they did eat. The modern Rabbinic practice of no milk with meat is a Rabbinic enactment that comes from the Talmud in which many traditions add too or diminish from the commandments of Yehovah. And the Rabbis in their attempt to control the Jewish laity, or the common people, also have an enactment which is called takenot, or Maasim, ( what they do) that if you break any commandment of Yehovah that you can be forgiven it, but if you deliberately break takenot, or a Rabbinic enactment, you have no place in the world to come, so we must be careful of traditional teachings that are not biblical. In fact Yeshuah said if your righteousness does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, or Rabinic Judaism, you cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, Yeshuah was deliberately challenging the righteousness of the teachers and Rabbis of his day, on how to enter into the life to come
Good info! I love this subject! Thoughts on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser the third? Depicted on this ancient archeological artifact is "Jehu".. grandson of King Omri of the Northern Kingdom bowing before the Assyrian king. 1st of all it's clear that this depiction of Jehu is a caucasian phenotype. (For what that's worth in today's wider cultural discussion of the origins of the Israelites). The other interesting thing here is the clear etymological connection between these "bit-Omri'(house of Omri) in the Assyrian language with the "Gimiri/Khumri" people in the Akkadian language who are also called "Saka/Sakae" in the Old Persian language on the Behiston rock in Iran. These peoples are also known in history as the "Cimmerians" & the "Scythians". J Flavius stated that the northern 10 tribes were an "immense multitude not to be estimated by numbers" & that they "lived north of the Euphrates". The wanderings of those peoples of that region, the Scythians and Cimmerians can be traced right into N Europe as the Germanic & Celtic peoples. The Scythians also for a time at least, were known to not eat swine. The intricate artisanal gold artifacts of the Scythians found also have some similarities with ancient Celtic artifacts. Welsh language and ancient Hebrew are very similar languages as well. There are many connections. The Med people as well, Greeks/ Romans were offshoots of early seafaring Israelites. Zarah-Judah, the twin brother of Perez..not getting the ancestral blessing that his brother had received, may have left Caanan. There is a reference in Kings that Solomon was wiser than "Kalchol & Darda" grandsons of Zarah. Kalchol & Darda are 2 names very similar to the founding Greek fathers "Calchus & Dardanus". Calchus being a legendary seer. Dan also a seafaring tribe became the Danoi (the old saying "beware of Greeks bearing gifts" is really beware of Danoi bearing gifts). Dan also settled in many other parts of Europe leaving his name all over the place similar to the prophetic blessing of a "serpent's tail/trail" spoke by his father, Jacob. (Danube, Denmark, Donegal etc.) The Phonecians were likely also a heavy mix of Israelites as the ancestral plots of land given to Dan & Mannaseh were part of Phoenicia/Tyre port cities. and they were the premier seafaring people of the Med. That trade of the Phoenicians coincides with the mighty reigns of David and Solomon. Who had great relations w the Phonecians. They settled parts of Spain & around & up the coasts of the Isles of Britain (named after Brutus from Troy, who were of Dardanus) & Ireland. As far as the tribe of Judah & the territory of Judea. These titles according to the Jewish encyclopedia are mutually exclusive to each other. Judea was named after Judah ..but not strictly comprised of members of the original tribe. Judea had become an amalgamation of people. Even mixing with Edomites via John Hyrcanus who forced converted Idumea into Jews, as outlined by Josephus Flavius. King Herod of course, was an Edomite. Personally, I think Levites are likely the heaviest portion "Israelite" tribe in the admixture of what we call "Jews" today. More so than comprised of 'Judahites" as the name implies. Remember, only 40 thousand of Judah even returned from Babylon, and then of those 40 thousand, we find in the book of Ezra, mixed with many other tribes ie Caananites, Hittites, etc. A good portion of the Tribe of Judah was deported alongside the Northern House. So in all of that, there is a motive and political reasoning to suppress these clear connections that we find in biblical, Historical, and Archeological records. I find it ironic that today, the Rabbis teach that Europeans are Edom. This is because the Biblical accounts are clear that Jacob & Esau must be polar opposite people. Cannot be mixed. The Hycranus account clearly shows they did mix about 100 years before Christ. Herod, surely an offshoot of that amalgamation. Its also noteworthy that the 1906 Jewish encyclopedia, states that the origins of the Turkic Chazars (modern-day Ukraine region) were intertwined w the origins of the Jews of Russia as there may have been some mass conversion around 800AD. The King of the Chazars believed that they had originated from Mt Seir, which was Esau Edom's ancestral land.
Thank you so much this is a very important Information for me because I remember many year ago in my village- MBEYA-TANZANIA when I was at age of 8 years old I remember one of my neighbours they gave his son this name SAKAE, which in Swahili language we use to call him SAKAI. So I thank GOD today I find where this name came from. Thank you

@rgb Brown The original Septuigant is the Greek translation of the Hebrew bible, not the old testament, as there was nothing referred to as the old testament during the time of the translation. The old testament as we know it does not match the Hebrew bible. There have been alterations made.
@rgb Brown Yes, I understand that. I'm not trying to be pedantic, but it always bothers me when people refer to it as you did; I strive for historical accuracy. As I mentioned, the old testament and the Hebrew bible do not even match each other.
Israel-lies was formed by the 1954 Belfor agreement between the Khazar converts who created the state which isn't representative of the true nation of YHwh.
I mean yes, I’ve always considered people from the Middle East to be “dark complected,” if you were to put this Anglo-Irish boy right next to them in an ancient context we’d see a difference. But this is just my opinion. I’d say they looked like peoples depicted in Egyptian reliefs.
I’m not a historian, just a Jew that likes to learn about history btw. I think a good way to get an idea of how the original Israelites look is to look at the mizhari Jews of the Middle East, a bit darker than the ashkenazi with more of a middle eastern look
They were typical Semites just like the Arabs. Olive/white complected if they are not getting a tan out in the sun. There are 19th century photos of middle eastern Jews and Arabs.
Skin complexion can be such a charged, and misleading description. You could put a Sardinian, southern Spanish, southern Italian and an Arab side by side and see little to no difference; dark "olive" skin, black hair. Yet separated by thousands of kilometers, and very different cultures.. but yes they would look like a modern Mizrahi, Arab, southern European or Berber. If you want to see an actual image look up the paintings from the burial tomb of Khnumhotep the second. Shows a wonderful color image of semites coming to Egypt. It's in excellent condition and the colors are vivid
The book of Deuteronomy chapter 28-38 tells you who the tribe of Israel is and the book of Genesis tells you how the tribe of Israel got it’s name. The speaker is incorrect.
Tamil kingdom like Pandyas sent emissaries to the Roman Empire during the reign of Augustus Caesar... There were a Roman colony present in the modern day Kerala,south Indian state....
Fascinating. I wish we knew more about the Harappin civilization. We know they traded with ancient Mesopotamia thousands of years ago. They were an advanced civilization in existence prior to the Indo -Iranian influx.
There is a massive Syriac Christian community in southern India as well, many of which may have been descended from the Jewish communities in the region since Greco-Roman times.
@Lemonello Many Jewish communities (including Syriac Jews in Antioch) did in fact become Syriac Christians. Syriac Christianity did not come from Rabbincal Judaism but from second era temple Judaism.
@Lemonello I mean in terms of religion. If we go by ethnic origins, the Jewish people are mostly closely related to people living in northern Syria/Iraq and southern Turkey like Syriacs and Kurds (Jewish Kurds in israel have their own Syriac dialect.)
Good video. I would love to know more about the tribe of Dan, and its relationship with Greece and the Dannoi or Danaan. Simcha Jacobovici seems to suggest the Dan tribes members fled to Greece, I myself have not seen enough in the publications to make a decision, curious to see others opinions on this.
Exactly seems like they could be the key to a lot of things. Homer constantly references a people called the danaoi in his epics. Saw a wonderful documentary correlate danaoi art to the construction of the ark of the covenant in palestine. It was built by the tribe of dan in the bible. I wonder if they also have anything to do with a part of the sea people's called the denyen
@@TheMrgoodmanners yes I agree. The documentary you referenced was made by the person I mentioned previously Simcha Jocobovic. He had an archeology tv program that was very interesting, although he put to much weight on the biblical narrative in my opinion. The program was called "the naked archaeologist" I definitely recommend the show though. If your a fan of this presentation I definitely recommend looking at the O.I. UA-cam channel. The OI is the oriental institute, through the university of Chicago, one of the best American archeology institutes. Dr. Aren Maeir had a great presentation there a few months ago. Also recommended Pennsylvania University's channel lots of great archeology presentations as well

The first mention of Yahweh were the Shasu of Yahweh from Edom. Edom before Esau. EDOM is the Land of Seir the Horite. Yhwh is the God of the Horites from Edom.. *Two hieroglyphic references dating to the New Kingdom (1550 BC-c. 1069) refer to “the land of the Shasu of YHWH.” These are the oldest references to YHWH outside the Bible. The "Shasu of Yhw" is found on inscriptions from the Nubian temples of Soleb and Amara West, and corresponds precisely to the tetragrammaton. The Horites originated in the Nile Valley. One of the oldest Horite temples was built at Nekhen in modern Sudan. At that time, around 4000 BC, the city set on the banks of the Nile. Originally the shrine was probably at water's edge, but later it was moved to high ground. The Horites are the oldest known caste of priests. They are later identified as ethnically Kushite. Shasu may be a variant of Saka, another word for Horite royal priests among the Kushites. As they dispersed out of Africa, they spread the Proto-Gospel across the vast Afro-Asiatic Dominion. The Matsya Purana claims that the Saka ruled the ancient world for 7000 years. The Shasu are definitively connected to the Horites of Seir in Edom (modern Jordan). The Horites occupied Edom at least as early as 2000 BC. Lists of place names in Nubian temples of Soleb and Amara West record six toponyms located in “the land of Shasu.” A monument of Ramesses II claims that he “has plundered the Shasu-land, captured the mountain of Seir” in Edom; a 19th Dynasty letter mentions “the Shasu-tribes of Edom” and Ramesses III declares that he has “destroyed the Seirites among the tribes of the Shasu.” Clearly, the Egyptians regarded the Shasu as a prominent part of the Edomite population which is described in Genesis 36. Yahweh is from Edom and therefore a God of the Horites. Deut 33:2: Yhwh came from Sinai, and rose up unto us from Seir; he shined forth from mount Paran. Judg 5:4-5: Yhwh, when you went out of Seir, when you marched forth from the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped; yea, the clouds dropped water. The mountains quaked before the presence of Yhwh, the one of Sinai; from before Yhwh, the God of Israel. Hab 3:3: God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. The priests of Heru in the bible are called Horites=Followers of Heru Hor=Horus + ites=Followers of Job was a Horite Hur/Hor the father of Bethlehem was a Horite The father of the Christian faith, Abraham was a Horite=Follower of Heru of Nekhen and Edfu. Heru of Edfu is Heru Behutet Heru Behutet is Heru Khuti Heru Khuti is Mars * Medu Neter Vol 1 page 226* jandyongenesis.blogspot.com/2011/01/who-were-horites.html?m=1

Sorry, ding ding ding; you have been disqualified. You are not playing by the rules of the game's narratives. No more telling the truth and never mention the Metu Neter, because they don't know about it and never will look into it. If it is not Roman or Greek thievery, it's politically wrong.

Funny, one simply can not leave this type source with one of them on a regular basis and get in return any feedback. Such knowledge will simply gather dust whilst in their possession, with a sour ass excuse: such as, "I haven't had time to read it".

Genesis 32:27-28 KJV And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. [28] And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Exodus 1:1-5 KJV Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. [2] Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, [3] Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, [4] Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. [5] And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
We are in present day , sub Saharan Africa, together with the original Egyptians, because we don't live in big cities and use robots , they don't recognize us, we are in the promise land(present day Africa) , after fleeing Egypt we settled in predominantly West Africa , were, we disobeyed God, so we were punished and cursed and taken as war Captives and spread Worldwide.
kenmartin1409 let me guess.The Egyptians were really Nubian not Arab. Even though the ancient Egyptian's clearly depicted the Nubian peoples as darker than themselves.They also depicted themselves as darker than Greeks. Yes Kush conquer Egypt and Ruled for 91 years but that does not make Egyptians any more black than Native Americans being white.
Excellent rational explanations, loved it; it is crucial to keep the conversation scientific. This topic is too often exclusively narrated as exempt from the rigors of formal history (reflected a lot in the questions which tended to express that preference for myth or fantasy), yet, Dr. Maeir reminds us at all times that as much love and attachment people may have with religious mythology, we must apply the same rational to all narratives. On another other topic, where do they come from depends on how long ago you want to go; as a Semitic people it means they are part of the broader Afroasiatic ethnolinguistic group, with peoples from Mesopotamia to actual Cameroon and Nigeria. We must remember that modern Hebrew is a reconstructed re introduced language, it did not evolve naturally from the ancient Israelites to what it is spoken today. It was reconstructed in the late 1800’s by Eliezer Ben Yehuda (Perlman) who spoke Yiddish (a Germanic language) and who was born in today Belarus; beautiful work tbh. Important to note as well that the ancient Israelites are unrelated to today’s State of Israel, of course, as excellent Israeli Historian Shlimo Sand Profesor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University explains on his book “The Invention of the Land of Israel: From Holy Land to Homeland” (2008)” says: “Secular scholars remained adamant in defining historical Jewry and its modern-day descendants as a people, albeit not a chosen people, but one unique, exceptional, and immune to comparison. Such a view could be maintained only by providing the masses with a mythological image of the exile of a people that ostensibly took place in the first century BCE, despite the fact that the scholarly elite was well aware that such an exile never really occurred during the entire period in question. For this reason, not even one research-based book has thus been written on the forced uprooting of the ‘Jewish people’.” (Sand,2008)
Noe 950, Sem 600 (semitic), Arfaxad 438, Sala 433, Heber 464 (primer hebreo), Peleg 239, Reu 239, Serug 230, Nacor 148, Tare 205, Abram 175 (Abraham), Isaac 180, Jacob 147. Jacob = Israel (padre de las 12 tribus). Israel quiere decir "El varon que vio a Dios".
I had seen awhile back (and please forgive me, but I cannot remember the source) that while peoples of Jewish heritage in areas of what is now Iran and parts of what might be called Central Asia, or on the Eastern Coast of Africa do show genetic DNA that correlates to Jewish peoples of Palestine prior to Emperor Nero's sacking in 70CE... the vast majority of Jews coming from Central and EASTERN Europe did NOT show similar DNA? So then, WHERE DID this very large European Jewry come from??? Whenever I have attempted to query the possibility that these were peoples from highly persecuted non- trinitarion or other minor religious, or even atheists during the dark ages of Catholic Inquisitions that sought refuge by migrating into Eastern European Jewish communities --- I have been most vehemently attacked as being anti-semitic? No one seems in any way willing to pursue this possibility...

I really enjoyed your discussion! Along with the introductory music and illustration throughout. Thank you both!
Modern historiography/archaeology is a story of scornfully doubting received traditions in favor of blind speculation based on weak presuppositions...until further archeological discoveries confirm the received tradition.
We Tamils have our sangam literatures which specifies that South Indian Tamils traded with the kingdom of Israel during the reign of Solomon like tusks of elephants,turmeric,peacocks... scholars should look for evidences in Tamil literatures also....
There has still been major difficulties within scholastic arguments with respect to trade relations and extent. The best evidence with respect to trade and idea concepts seems to be iconography,. Eg: one of the persistent iconographic symbols of ancient Egypt is that of the upraised Cobra.
The cobra is not native to Egypt, it is native to India so to use such iconography, must indicate a transfer of concepts between the two cultures. The same holds true of other commercial items such as Frankincense of which the largest source is still in the Afar region of Ethiopia or gemstone from Afghanistan. The evidence has always been there for consideration but has been ignored. The same holds true for the recent evidence of Cocaine in the hair shaft tests done on ancient mummies from Egypt. There can be many sources that can corroborate the narrative of a true history that have yet to be examined or are being ignored.
Unfortunately there has been much confusion as to a proper. Timeline of evidence and narrative based against preconceived notions. Some of this is being dispelled but much is still to be accomplished.
With respect to the concept within this video, that the formation of Israel was occurring during the Bronze Age collapse, becomes ludicrous.
Even the recent report given by Eric Cline of the DNA evidence of the Philistines, ,indicated that there’s a presence from eastern Iberia ( Spain) does need to be considered in the narrative as the Tin mines there would have been greater and more accessible over water than a land route from Afghanistan even if it were through an Indian trading route. More especially, because such a route would not have been affected by the Sea Peoples. There also does not seem to be as yet any evidence of overland trade route between Afghanistan through Megiddo, making a Tamil water route more likely. During the time element involved ( the end of the Bronze Age) it is more likely that the breakdown of the nominal Mediterranean empires would have left another power vacuum into which Israel could come into its own as a power structure especially with the resources of major copper mines in the southeastern region of the Dead Sea Valley. This copper has been metallurgically analyzed and has bot a high concentration of both lead and arsenic. This is another though less durable form of Bronze. Such would be the source of wealth into Israel and a reason for Tamil trading. With possibly very early Iron coming from Tamil sources.
@@walterulasinksi7031 Thank you for a comprehensive explanation! Peace
, Thank you, for your consideration, it is unfortunate when while attempting to make scholastic considerations either lack of evidence or learned biases can turn into a form of conceit, exhibiting a denial of additional evidence due to such bias. It is only when we resist such bias, that it is possible to allow entry of new datum to coalesce within an existing structure that greater strides can be achieved. This is especially important when attempting to give an understandable construction to a time, little understood with respect to causation and having almost no direct evidence. It is only possible to advance speculation to incite more research within accepted disciplines.
@@avtaras It would be interesting for the Chanel if you would make a contribution of the Tamil narratives regarding the interaction with the Mediterranean region for the time period under consideration. While even if the material is limited, the contribution would still add to the overall picture. There are not many that can read ancient Asuka era Sanskrit and even if of later origin, anything that can add to the knowledge of historical consideration of World dynamics.

Murugan/Mars is the God of the bible.
Dr. Maeir packs a lot of information into just 40 minutes. Excellent interview.
Finally someone explains the difference between culture and genetics. So many people dont understand that...
For example in my country Serbia a lot of people cant accept the fact that genetically we are connected a lot with old balkan tribes, but with migrations of Serbs and other slavic tribes a slavic culture became dominant.
That doesnt mean that all of our ancestors came to the balkans during the slavic migration or that all of our ancestors lived in the balkans before the migration. We are a mix of everyone, but the culture that became dominant was Slavic/Serbian....
Yeah the same is in morocco between berber/arabic.
Thats why Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians are primarily Haplogroup I2a, and Bulgarians, Macedonians are split between I2a and J and E1b1a, whereas most other Slavic peoples are overwhelmingly and predominately Haplogroup R1a, minus Northwest Russians who are split between R1a and N. Some people of course are R1a but its only the 2nd or 3rd most common in the area of the former Yugoslavia depending on area, and 3rd or 4th in Bulgaria. Overwhelmingly and close to over 50% of Balkan males are I2a. What does that mean? They were two distinct populations at one time and they simply adopted the Slavic language, absorbed some of the invaders, but their local I2a Y DNA remained predominate. There is a theory that the Serbo-Croatian language and Slavic culture that led to the South Slavic culture originated in what's now the border area of Germany and Poland, having migrated there previously from the Slavic Urheimat near the Eastern Poland and the Baltics, and they are related distantly to the Sorbians whom call themselves Serbi, and live mainly in Germany, but also Poland today, they also call themselves Wends, the theory is some migrated conquered the local Balkan peoples or brought the language with trade or farming etc., and then their culture became dominant, but the genes remained more local. The languages due to isolation branched into another group of Slavic languages, similar to how North and West Germanic languages split but like them share a common origin. The Bulgarian and Macedonian Slavic languages were originally related to that population but their population are almost entirely local Balkan peoples I2a and have significant influence from Turkic, Iranic, Greek, Dacian, and Scythian peoples and J and E1b1a predominate after I2a. The Slavic language became dominant but the people took the name of a Turkic tribe that ruled over them the Bulgars. Similar to how in Hungary the ruling class were Hunnic people related to the Xiongnu of China, but the people took the language of Uralic Urgic migrators/invaders part of this Hunnic coalition invading group whom also included some Germanic peoples and Iranic Scythian type peoples whom despite being Iranic speaking have a gene profile more like Slavs than modern day Iranians, the common people are themselves are primarily of Slavic and Germanic mixed stock with minor Finno-Urgic, Turkic, Dacian, and Hunnic admixture DNA.
These people's were sea peoples traders. Same as today. Chapters. Abra was a woman who got children with ham. Alexander the great. Abraic culture mixed with all races.

Solomon Saul , Reuben , Benjamin was black they had different races don't let me go to far. Some of them was travelers around the sea of Galilee. Solomon had 1000 wives he fell asleep in his sins.So we have to except our ancestors messed up.

Jesus came out of Ruth and Boaz Ruth in the days of Moses herod tried to kill all the babies boys in that day because Jesus ancestors was hiding from the Nazis . Harod 😭 Rebecca and Isaac grandchildren Rachel was terrific for her children dying .Jacob and Esua .

“Our Israel” lollll
Being from the tribe of Benjamin, and of the Abrahamic Judaistic faith, I assume you understand the significant difference between being Jewish wherever you are and the political state of Israel (which assimilated and bastardized the name of Father Yaʿaqov).
May the LORD bless you for 1,000 generations. Israel is the Land formed in a day.
The nations are deceived in their Antisemitism to believe that Israel is some colonial state. Meanwhile they live in places like USA, Australia, and the UK (true colonial states). They also must not have been to Israel and seen how dangerous Arab areas are for Christians and Jews while Jewish and Christian areas are welcoming to all.
May you be blessed in the Name of Yeshua and HASHEM who are One. May you and all Israel be blessed forever.

@@AJxxxxxxxx If they were Cainianites they didn't borrow anything and you make no sense what so ever
@@claudiaclark6162
Did I hurt your feelings?
@@AJxxxxxxxx LMAO NO!
@claudiaclark6162 its a universally accepted fact that the israelites at least believed in the Canaanites religion. "El" was the chief god of the Canaanites. IsraEL, and many Hebrew names especially the arch angels MichaEL, GabriEL etc. invoke the name of the Canaanite god. The Israelites then started their own sect of that religion that is now called Yawhism, and they worshipped the same gods but had their own national god "Yaweh" similar to Athens having Athena but Zeus still being the greater Greek chief god. As the Israelites continued to separate more and more from Canaanite roots they replaced "El" with their lesser national god Yaweh. But even when Yaweh became their chief God, they still continued to be polytheistic until way after the time of Solomon. Judaism wasn't monotheistic until after the 2nd Temple. Judaism was a sect of the Canaanite religion.
Anyone know the name of the map that they show at 2:30 - 3:19 ?
"I think Israelite society was messy, just like a modern, traditional Middle Eastern society is messy" - This is a great quote by Dr. Maeir, and it reflects some of the facts and theories I've seen about the origins of the Israelites, i.e. that the original tribes were literal tribes of desert nomads and traders who were also well-connected to urban centers in the Levant until "something" brought the complementary tribes together as unit, thus pushing the majority firmly into urban life (though some percentage of families retained their nomadic heritage). DNA evidence shows that the Israelites and Canaanites were the same people, with the difference being the Israelites (until a point) were nomads while the Canaanites they later wrote about as enemies were the urban and mostly settled populace. Obviously, the Israelites eventually settled and became a political and religious power, but as Dr. Maeir points out that the evidence is scant for them suddenly overthrowing major citadels and urban cities as written in the Bible.
As a recent example, the closest comparison in a desert nomadic culture and mobility are the Bedouin, who were divided by (often violent) tribal lines but lived in a sympathetic relationship together as necessary, and who all shared the same cultural habits, trade routes, religion, and social system despite not being as closely connected though urban centers the way it appears the Israelites were. In the Bible, the basic premise for the Jewish patriarchs is that they were desert nomads who were constantly on the move and at the mercy of the harsh and dangerous desert lifestyle. Looking at older descriptions of the Bedouin can fill that imaginative void when wondering how the early Israelite tribes lived before settling where they did.
Plus different diaspora means we are different but the same. Like Sephardic versus mizrachi versus Ashkenazi
I wonder how political Zionism reflects on archeology in the cis-jordan? I wonder if they speak anything which might be considered negative against the early patriarchal Exodus conquest narratives if it could jeopardize their tenure as professors?
I don't think that Abraham being said to come from Ur of the Chaldeas is a problem for the historicity of the story. As an example, If it was written, for instance, that Zarathustra came from Kazakhstan, it wouldn't be evidence that he didn't come from that region, or had had to live there sometime after the region was known as Kazakhstan. It's just that "Kazakhstan" is the easiest way to identify to the modern reader precisely where Zarathustra lived. The only inference that could be made is that whoever wrote that he was from Kazakhstan, was writing some time after the region became known as Kazakhstan. So the only thing that can be inferred is that that part of Genesis was written during or after the time of the Chaldeans coming to Ur.
Good point.
Plus Sumeria is the oldest civilization in the middle east. Mesopotamia took it over. They expended down to Israel, through Syria and included Egypt. Abraham was a 1st nation in the bulk of Israel because noone settled the land with wells besides Abraham. The others lived near the river or Philistim in Gaza. Plus his family shepards for 4 generations in Israel/judea/Canaan unchallenged.
I have been looking at the Mesopotamian base 60 number system in Genesis 5 genealogy, which opens up questions to the ages being symbolic or related to a dynasty rather than an individual.
Abraham lived in Ur while it was called Ur. Ur was a city-state, not a region of land. It's only problematic to people who have the wrong timeline on mine and trust to adjust to newer findings that drastically change the known timeline.
@@blain20_ Yes. Ur was a Sumerian city state before Abraham. After Abraham, the Chaldeans gradually became the chief occupiers of Ur. Hence the Bible refers to it as "Ur of the Chaldeas". My point was that that only proves that by the time the History of Abraham had begun to be written, it was known as "Ur of the Chaldeas" It doesn't prove that Abraham lived there during the time of the Chaldeans.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like the israelites and the philistines formed almost in the same time, 1200 BC, at the end of bronze age. I would say both groups invaded/established in Canaan at approximately the same time.
The end of bronze age. you mean the end to the original (Hittite empire ?) .

Canaan was Ham’s son, ham was Noah’s oldest son. Abraham was from the bloodline of Noah’s son Shem. The Israelites who came out of Egypt, with Moses, were Abraham’s 12 great grandson’s bloodlines.
@@Angelica-fy9fr If this was a true story, what happened to the bloodline?
@@Angelica-fy9fr That's all assuming Noah was even a real person. I would argue that he was not and I do have evidence for saying that.
The original flood story was on clay tablets made by the Sumerians thousands of years before the book of Genesis was even written. In the ancient flood story written about by the Sumerians, The God Enki created us and made us in the gods likeness with their knowledge which angered Enki's brother, Enlil. Enlil wanted to destroy us but Enki who loved us had a man named Upnapteshim build a boat to save humanity.
Enki is likely who evolved into Lucifer as Hebrews became influenced by Zoroastrianism from Persia.
So yeah, the much more ancient story of Enki, Upnapteshim and the flood evolved over thousands of years into the Hebrew story of Noah & The Ark.

The debate about a violent conquest, a small migration, an indigenous growth and a conclusion of a mixed origin reminds me of the debate of aryan invasion in india. I am fascinated by the idea of it being kick started by migrations within Canaan itself following the collapse of the First Egyptian Empire during the Bronze Age Collapse, which led to greater autonomy in the Levant. The chaos of this period is similar to what happened in the Greek Dark Ages and would explain the complexity of the twelve tribes.
Aryans in India didn'T come from anywhere.
@@punchipoint8457 Yes, they did. The evidence is overwhelming. Sorry if your nationalist and racist propaganda says otherwise.
💯 %. It’s like lights goes off and when it comes back on people have stories of magical things happening to claim land and righteousness. It’s the recipe for cults to start (100 years before they become religion. “Difference between cult and religion is 100 years.” It’s the time and disconnection. Reason North Korea considers their leader divine and a God is because they are disconnected from the world that could tell them they are deluded, which to be fair we are all deluded one way or another.
But to be fair Judaism is a religion like all others of the ancient world that simply filtered through to the new world thanks to the relevance Christianity gave it. Despite how bad Christianity has been to the people historically, it’s been very important and necessary for the ideology to survive and grow. When the 2 major religions of the modern world point to one ancient tribal religion its value increases. Reason Zoroastrianism (much bigger ancient religion) only has 200K followers today but Judaism has 15 mil. So fascinating how evolution plays out.
Also “40 years” for a new generation that did not see the sea split moves in from the mountains or dessert is very conveniently a story. It’s telephone game.

I like studying ancient cultures. What I have noticed when checking dna of buried people it was found many various ethnicities. This makes sense if we look at different countries we can usually find varieties of people. I believe the same principles are with Jewish also.
Years ago I was watching a program about Jewish history were it was suggested they originated in Mesopotamia now days Iraq. The epic of Gilgamesh describes world flood which closely resembles Noah’s flood in the Bible
They picked up the flood myth during the 1st Babylonian exile. Much of the old testament and specifically genesis was written during that period. The exiled jews likely had documents from the fallen kingdom of Israel and ancient texts and oral history from Judah. My theory is once exposed to the ancient zoroastrian religion and stories like the epic of gilgamesh, they were compelled to seriously write down their myths and incorporate them into the wider mythology of the region. Likely needed at a time where the elites were no longer in the Levant and also acted as a way to keep the exiled elite jews from losing their culture and identity. In whole they definitely weren't from messopatamia but much of the Bible was written there and inspired by stories like the Epic of Gilgamesh

@Peril Stroud Calm down, they are talking about what is currently verifiable with what is known from archaeological finds and texts that are not from the bible itself, you can't expect it to match perfectly as there's a lot that we don't know or can't verify yet
@@andreaarchaeology Clearly you do not know Torah/Bible. But because of his reaction and stressing Jacob/Esau, I am guessing he is a Black Hebrew Israelite.
I saw somewhere that some archeologists tag the earliest Israelite villages as those Canaanite villages that lack pig bones. Don't know if it's true, but their is a depiction of 'Israelites' outfitted in Canaanite garb on the Merneptah Stele dated around 1200 BC.
Archeology is full of long draws of the bow. Who knows if the claims on the Stele were wring in the first place. We can expect Israelis somewhere at sometime in Israel to wear Canaanite clothing, even to use their culture, but maybe they thought they were describing Israelis but were describing Canaanites. It's sort of that way, and the Egyptians would not be above propaganda, and over or understate things. If only they left some DNA with it, in a preservative in a samples container... You have to objectively look into things, to state what is known, and offer an opinion on it. But here, I'm finding my comment is being deleted for some strange reason of, probably of minor disagreement on interpretation of some little part of it. As when I thought I accidentally lost it, I posted a part copy by mistake. And that was highlighted, but when edited that to a full version it got deleted..
The present researcher states this and that, but I can see problems with it and have seen what others are claiming.
Very interesting, thank you. I am fairly new to delving into history and origins so excuse me if this is an ignorant statement/question. The discussion regarding where the Israelites originated from made me wonder. I wonder if they are better described as originating from a connected nomadic group prior to leaving that life to a settled/location based group??? I thought this because the presenters seemed to accept they originated from several areas in the region. Also, the word 'Israelites' when used by Egypt, seems to be in the context which describes the habit of the people rather than a derived location??? Finally I thought the wandering in the dessert points to a people who were comfortable with a nomadic lifestyle???
Just some thoughts, I would welcome any clarifications or views.
The word "Israelites" (or any cognate) was never used by the Egyptians. In fact there is nothing whatsoever in Egyptian sources about any of the events recounted in Genesis and Exodus.
Well, its' thought, from an academic standpoint, that "Hebrews" or "Israelites" weren't actually, originally "one people" or one genetic cluster, as the biblical narrative suggests. Meaning, it wasn't likely began by 12 sons of a guy named Jacob, nor were they and the rest of the regions populations likely the descendants of a guy named Abraham , nor is it likely that the people of the Afro-Eurasian sphere were descended all from 3 sons of a guy named "Noah". This is all, almost certainly, mythology.
Now the mythology likely served an important purpose, to unify, to create one people out of many disparate people with shared experience.
Ancient Egypt, who ruled over the Levant, prior to the Bronze Age collapse, around 1200 BCE or so let's say, had numerous colonies. As did the Hittites, Minoans, Assyrians, Sabaeans, Babylonians, Persians and so on. Really, all the major civilizations of the time had colonies. And while this isn't particular to Egypt, Egyptians certainly did not like having to live or work in the "colonies". So much like the Greeks, Romans and most other Empires, whether contemporaneous or after, they would hire mercenary soldiers, workers, bureaucrats, artisans and so on from outside Egypt, to live and work in those colonies. Thus, the Levantine would have been populated by Canaanites, Phoenicians, and other similar indigenous groups, along with the many hired to run and stabilize the area for Imperial Egypt. There also would have been merchants and businessmen from all over and so on. Many, along with the soldiers, diplomats, priests, and those working for Egypt, would have married and started up families, local Canaanite women, or women from surrounding regions of Mesopotamia, Anatolia/Caucasus, Ethiopia, Egypt, Persia and maybe even India and so on. Some of them possibly multiple generations living and working in Canaan. Marrying into the same extended Canaanite families and eventually forming a unique culture.
This culture, think of a place like Singapore, or maybe more accurately an Empire like the Ottomans, who used a great many "foreigners" to run its empire. Like the broadly Balkan Janissary. That culture would have had influences largely from Egypt, Canaan, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, but really, with influences from many places, peoples and faith practices. And thus, many different mythologies, religions, legends, customs and so on, not all necessarily meshing. And at this point there were still Philistines and many other small ethnic groups living in greater near East region.
Thus when the Bronze Age collapse occurred, Egypt withdrew from Canaan, packed up and left. Which meant there would have been, well, I suppose many hundreds if not a few thousand people, from a diverse array of regions, now established and settled in Canaan. They would have been very interconnected, again, through many Canaanite families which they would be married into. And again, multiple generations of these foreigners living there. Some of course would have brought their own wives and families from wherever. And there of course were probably many Egyptians. Just not mostly, but I'm sure a large portion. And when Egypt withdrew, most of these now established, for all intents and purposes "Canaanites", would have needed to establish order and rule. The archaeology of this time shows a large settler movement in to the hills of Judea and Samaria around this time. Which might have meant these peoples aggregating in that region to avoid attacks, now that the power of Egypt was gone.
They also would have then, in order to unify, forged a federation or "group" of some sort. And how do you unify a group of disparate people, with influences from all variety of regions? Well, one way, one of the main ways throughout history no matter where you go, is to devise a common mythology, a unifying mythology. And it's quite possible that is what the "Israelites" were, and that is what the story of Jacob likely was was as well as the Exodus mythos. A unifying mythology, connected through more common regional mythologies, like the flood myths, which were wide spread, or the idea of Noah and his sons, or the idea of Abraham and so on, the rest of the pre-Jacob biblical account likely a combination of various regional cultural, mythological and religious legends, all united in narrative.
It has even been suggested that each "tribe of Israel" was a different "people" or "family". At some point in the bible, a Benjaminite is referred to as "the Hittite". Another named "Cushi". Actually a few named Cush or Cushi. There is another part the mentions someone being a Amorite I believe or Moabite. Anyway. Archaeology and biblical interpretation has led to a hypothesis that the tribe of Dan was originally from the Aegean, possibly from Crete or Greece itself, possibly related to the Philistines. For starters, the tribe of Dan's traditional "territory" is thought to be along the coast, directly above the Philistine territory, literally connected to it. Archaeology of that area has uncovered many pots in the Greek style, which isn't common outside of the Philistine and tribe of Dan region. They have also uncovered these bird statues that were very common in Crete. There were also pig remnants, and dna suggests the pigs there were of European origin. There are also biblical passages that kind of isolate the tribe of Dan as being "different" somehow, in a negative way. And then we have the story of Sampson, which definitely appears to reflect elements of the Heracles myth. Just the archetype of Heracles, which is rather unusual for the Levant and Israelites and Hebrew bible. His long hair, his strength, his pulling down the pillars of the building and so on. It's possible that myths of these other lands were integrated into the narrative, Hebrewified of course, but still representative of earlier populations.
And this could possibly be done with all the tribes. There are other biblical passages which associate certain tribes, at times with different people, or use names associated with different cultures outside Canaan. While the majority of women and families likely would have been Canaanite, there were certainly a lot of Mesopotamians also. And at that time, capturing women, in conquest or raid was not uncommon either. SO there was probably a fair amount of foreign women. The tribe of Levi for instance, might have been a group of Egyptian priests, who maintained their position through this new unifying mythology. Maybe Benjamin was a Hittite related tribe, maybe Ephraim was an Assyrian related tribe, or whatever. Maybe some from the Caucasus, probably Cush, Ethiopia, Libya, and wherever else.
heh, so basically, this could also explain why many different places of origin are mentioned. And why there are multiple connections to and through Egypt and different points. The Exodus was possibly about Egypt leaving Canaan and not Israelites actually leaving the Nile Delta. All though it could have something to do with a memory of the Hyksos, who were a Canaanite people. So memory of the Hyksos era might have informed some of the Israelite history and mythology. The overall specifics are not so clear. But in combination, the archaeology, mythology, and also the genetics, suggest this type of origin for the Israelites. Regardless of what the biblical narrative states, as that biblical narrative would have likely been forged to unify these disparate groups during a time of need. In terms of genetics, we can see a consistent array of male lineages, in Y-haplogroup of the Jewish people, which generally, all coalesce around the Bronze Age. It's thought that there were about 600 founding males of the Jewish population, which seem to correlate across all Jewish groups, with some outliers. But even the Y haplos themselves suggest a diverse array of people from different regions. And don't tell the American "Hebrew Israelites" this, but there were probably even "black Israelites" especially from Cush and Ethiopia. Maybe not a ton, but likely some at least.
And another hypothesis is that Levites were a combination of all the tribes. As priests were originally supposed to come from the eldest sons. Which at the time of "Moses" was granted to the Levites. So perhaps they took representatives of all the tribes, and joined them together as "brothers" as Cohen/Levites. Or perhaps Cohen were a specific group and Levites were built around them so that at least all "tribes" were represented within the Levites, who would of course be living among all tribes.
Now certainly, I think some of these people would have had a nomadic lifestyle or nomadic traditions. Almost certainly. And as he said in the video, Habiru probably doesn't mean all Habiru were Hebrew, but certainly, many Hebrew might have been Habiru originally. Same for say the Hyksos, I think around 1800 BCE.
And we see at least some WERE nomadic, in the story of David and the presence of shepherding in general.
Further, EL, YHWH Elohim and the Israelite God is clearly a combination or different variations of previous, Bronze Age Canaanite pagan gods. There seems to have been a god YHHW I think it is, which was followed by a nomad people of the Negev/Sinai region. Which is possibly where YhWh comes from. On this last part, I'm not 100%, but just a theory.
Well anyway, you get the idea. Hope that helps a bit.

@@jessereichbach588 incredible.. Jordan Petersons study of Genesis matched beliefs in Hebrew were very similar to Egyptian Mythology specifically the Death of Osiris at the hands of his brother Seth but then brought back to life by his son Horus who descends into the underworld to retrieve his father giving him his eye and restoring the kingdom.
What fascinates me if Petersons musings are right...then while Egypt views the mythical figure restores the old kingdom with new vision the possible Egyptian priest now Levi's crafted the opposite perspective of this Civil War. They craft a Mythology of a corrupt king and a mythical figure and guardian escorting these priest with brash new ideas into Cannan free to practice their new ideas and mixing them with the many nomadic tribes. This could have been the impetus to settle and conquer the land with divine purpose motivating the destruction.

And only the blessed seed from Abram is Isaac to Jacob who's name was changed to Yasharahla meaning, Prince of the power. Hamites wasn't blessed.
This guy has nothing but word salad.
There is also the question of the evolution of the alphabet.
The exodus of the Israelites seems to reflect the evolutionary steps of the alphabet, from the Hieratic cursive script of Egypt, passing through the Proto-Sinaitic and Proto-Canaanite scripts, and finally giving birth to the Phoenician and Paleo-Hebrew abjads.
Through Aramaic. Some of our Jewish texts are still in Aramaic
The explanation for why the authors wrote “Chaldeans” instead of some older word for Babylonians: when they wrote it down for the Abraham story, they knew most people wouldn’t know the older word, so they replaced it with a newer word. So the likelihood that the books come from an older, oral tradition is still likely and not contradicted by Bronze Age history.
And this is a simpler explanation than claiming conspiracy, which is the alternative.
EDIT: I guess this wasn’t totally clear.
Consider the statement “the Dutch founded New York”. To a reader living in 4022, and applying the standards modern scholars apply, this statement would be false because the Dutch didn’t call it “New York” but instead “New Amsterdam”. The name “New York” did not exist until much later.
And yet, we know the Dutch founding of New York to be true. So why do we not apply the standard we give ourselves to the biblical authors? Seriously.
This is a great concern.
The simplest explanation is that the authors were completely ignorant of the then ancient history of southern Mesopotamia (as well as their own land and Egypt) and had no idea that it had ever been inhabited by anyone other than the Chaldeans. They don't seem to be aware that there was a linguistic divide between East and West Semitic languages as far back as the Bronze Age, or that "pharaoh" was not used as a title for Egyptian monarchs at the time the Exodus is supposed to have occurred, or that Hebrew was very closely related to other Canaanite languages and not to the language of Ur of the Chaldees, or that their own ancestors had been polytheistic not too long in the past, or that Yahweh and El/Elohim had been different gods at one time. So it may very well have been based on an older oral tradition - I'm pretty confident that it was - but that doesn't mean that tradition was transmitted accurately at all.

As someone interested in history vs mythology, it seems most likely that the Jews were essentially Canaanites even if their original nomadic origins are murky. Jews were essentially religious rebels pushing monotheism over the worship of multiple gods largely practiced at the time. As part of this they adopted a lifestyle and mythology that purposely set them apart from the other Canaanites and nearby peoples. Islam is a similar exercise and clearly somewhat influenced by Jewish thought. The Kaaba, the holiest of Islamic sites, now completely dedicated to 'one God-ism' is said to have once held 360+ deities to worship, pre-Islam.

I once found an amateur website that makes the claim that the Amarna heresy was the Exodus. One claim I found to be interesting is the person they claim archeology has discovered named Ramose. The claim is that archeological evidence shows this person was prominent in Egypt, disappeared from the record, and returns as a general. The authors allege that during the whole aten thing "Ramose" would've become Mose when it became illegal to write old gods names, and that josephus says moses was a general.
It seems like an intriguing premise but I don't know of any scholarly critiques, would anyone here be aware of such a thing?
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION what about the finding of the Dead sea scrolls they predate the torah for at least 1000 years.
Question: why would the fact that the Chaldieans came in later an issue. Perhaps Moses called them that because that was who was there at the time. Much like we do now, calling peoples or places in the name we know them now vs the name they had before then that was less know.
Because they weren't there in Moses' time either, they weren't there until the Iron Age. In the time when Moses is supposed to have lived the Chaldeans lived in the Levant and had nothing to do with southern Mesopotamia.
1213 AD the Merneptha stele in Egypt. It reads that the "people of David were shorn, "or something like that. This is a sign that Istaelites were a nation at least since 1200 BC.
There is a place in Turkiye called Ur that is near Haran, I think that is where Abraham is from. Also the Bible says that he was an Aramean; soon after he left his home he became a Hebrew. All of this was about less than 200 years after the flood.
Miss you, teacher
I wonder how much of the Israelite origins can be traced back to Sumerians and the city of UR, where Abraham comes from according to the scripture. Are there any clues supporting that claim other than archeological, for example in artefacts or DNA-sampling, linguistic similarities, etc?
@J.P. Ah, that is very interesting. So in a sense that suggests that semite peoples also have indo-germanic origins, doesn't it?
@J.P. It's amazing. I have a Sorani Kurdish friend and I can relate quite a few words to French, Italian and sometimes to germanic langauges. Kurdi is closely related to Farsi and Farsi in turn is related to Sanskrit, Hindi and Urdu. I also remember that it were the Persians who liberated the Hebrews from their expulsion to Babylon by the Assyrians and that the Persian Shahmsa Shah ordered the reconstruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
Looking at history, I sometimes wonder why on God's green earth people fight eachother over holy ground, places and scripture or man made rules. It all seems utterly pointless, pretty much like the wheel of eternal return (birth, life, death, rebirth) in the vedic scriptures. It seems we're doomed to repeat it witthout end until we learn we're all brothers and sisters.
Prophets who tried to shine that light never were honored in their time, were they.... What a waste!
Here we have definite proof from a Pharaoh of Egypt (grandfather of King Tut) for Yahweh and a people associated with Yahweh dwelling in Canaan. In Exodus, God tells Moses this is the the name I will be know for all generations -- go tell the Hebrews in Egypt and Pharaoh that YAHWEH/God of Hebrews says let my people depart Egypt. The inscription at Soleb corroborates the Biblical account in Exodus. This also says the Exodus from Egypt by the people of Yahweh must of happened during or BEFORE the reign of Amenhotep III. .... If the Biblical account is true, there should be a death of the 1st born in Pharaoh's family some time before the reign of Amenhotep III. Amenhotep's father, Thutmose IV became Pharaoh because the 1st born Prince died unexpectedly. That would make Amenhotep II the Pharaoh of the Exodus and the one that Moses/Aaron interacted with. Amenhotep II inherited/and-helped his father, Thutmose III, make Egypt the greatest military power.
...
For me everything starts with Amenhotep III (father of Akhenaten; grandfather of Tutankhamun). People/shashu of Yahweh is inscribed at his temple at Soleb. This according to Exodus is the name of the Hebrew God and first given to Moses to reveal to the Israelites and Pharaoh. These people of Yahweh already reside in Canaan during Amenhotep III reign. These are the Hebrews before they became the nation of Israel/Judah. Yahweh precedes Akhenaten's "one" god in Egypt.
They lived in the dessert for 40 years , Armana is in the dessert and it fits the story, mabey Thutmoses lll, inslaved a large part of the people of Jericho. And Akenaten left with "his" people the slaves that raised and protected him.
@@m.j.debruin3041It's pretty amazing that the walls of Jericho tumbled down and made a ramp for Israelites to walk up. The burned destruction layer shows large jars full of burnt grain.

Oh apparently on section of the mud brick walls did NOT collapse -- supporting the narrative that Rahab escaped the collapse of the walls. In Joshua her house was against/part of the wall.

Bryant Wood reviewing the pottery dating of Kathleen Kenyon for destruction layer including the upper wall of Jericho collapsing concluded that the date for the pottery was around 1400 BC/BCE. Apparently the upper wall of Jericho collapsed and overflowed the lower wall of Jericho making a ramp up the lower wall. This date kind of fits with the narrative that Amenhotep II's first born, the prince, died unexpectedly and that he was the Pharaoh of the Exodus/Moses. And 40+ years later, Joshua began the conquest west of the Jordan at Jericho.
What the heck sort of audio is this for a documentary? It does not sound professional. Difficult to take seriously.
According to more recent studies that feature evidence from the skeletal remains of ancient Canaanites compared with DNA of current Jewish and Arab/Palestinian residents of the area. As Prof. Maeir states, the modern populations are closely related, and both are related to the ancient Canaanites. Some may wonder about the ancient Philistines. The ancient Philistines were Greek peoples -- part of the invading group known as the Sea Peoples -- and have not been found to be related either to modern Jews or to modern Palestinian Arabs. These ancient DNA samples, again, were taken from ancient Philistine remains. The unique features of ancient Philistine DNA appear to have been lost to history, likely when the Philistines were finally vanquished by the invading Babylonians. So far, they haven't been found among modern human populations. So the notion of associating modern Palestinians with the Philistines is invalid. These findings are *not* about the modern method of estimating ethnicity used by companies like Ancestry and MyHeritage, whose methods are questionable at best.
The next geneticists you bring in that talks about Israelites should be asked about the supposed lost tribes of Israel and how legitimate are the claims.
Screw the haters man, this is a great video. I can see it took a lot of work and time. Some people just can't appreciate good scholarship
Good scholarship? Lol no
My understanding is that the word "hebrew" is a broader term and included all the decendents and relatives of the patriarchs (including Ishmael, Lot and Esau's families, Abraham also had more sons after Isaac, so their children too, Jacob had a daughter named Dinah as well, maybe he had more but the Bible uses her name, she went to Egypt with her father so her children would be most likely assimilated into this group) the focus on Israel as a nation didnt happen until Jacob's name was changed and his families story took place. They still are referred to as hebrews in the Exodus, because technically yes they are a part of that broader group, but they are also forming their own national identity out of Jacob/Israel's lineage.
Maybe that is the wrong understanding, but that is how I see it. Explains why the dna is so close, because everyone in that region is related. Cousins, half-siblings, some married Cannanites, some married Egyptians, Moses married a Midianite, then when they got back to the promise land we know one of them married Rehab from Jericho...we know Sampson married Philistine women, so you have to assume others did as well. The Bible says many times that the Israelites would fall away from their beliefs and take up Idol worship, so you will most definitely find non kosher things in the households...it was a pattern throughout the Old Testament.
@@HeilYahshua Correct. I believe everyone I listed, but the Eygptians falls under that umbrella technically, because Midian was one of Abraham's other son's by his wife Keturah if my memory serves me correctly. But some Egyptians left with them into the wilderness. They were married in basically. Also, Joseph's family would have been of Egyptian descent as well. The Philistines and Cananites wouldnt count either I suppose. But they still married in. So kind of a melting pot.
I have never read that Esau is pure (adamite), could you point me to where that is written in the bible? He was of the same bloodline as Jacob(Israel).
Abraham and most likely his wife Sarah (think she might have been a half sister) was a descendent of Eber, as was Lot his nephew (Moabites (includes Ruth) and Ammonites). Issac, Ishmael plus a bunch of others sons and daughters by his wife Keturah in turn would be descendents of Eber. Rebekah, Issaacs wife was also a cousin from the lineage of Nahor, also from Eber, meaning Jacob and Esau, and all their children would be considered descedants. Leah and Rachel as well (daughters of Laban(Rebekahs brother).
And just because a different ethnicity marries into a family, doesn't erase the fact that their children will have an ancestor that they might not have. We are all descendants of Noah and Adam ultimately. We aren't different races of people. Our DNA is 99.999 percent the same. That teenie tiny percentage after is what makes us unique looking. The world has always been a melting pot. The Israelites today are a melting pot of people, they have all kinds of skin tones all across the world. They always have. God told them not to marry other people because of their paganism not color of their skin. People who weren't direct descendents from the 12 tribes still chose to follow YHWH and married into the family. The Diaspora added on to this. I was literally reading the book of Ezra last week. The men were allowed to come back to Judea to rebuild their temple and got involved with some ladies that were not Jewish, they got reprimanded. But the women were allowed to live and they had children - during the time of Jesus their descendants would be apart of what the bible calls the Samaritans (Woman at the well). They were treated as second class, but still were still related. If we believe the story of Esther to be true she married a Persian. The bible is filled with so many stories like this. We know the son's of Jacob married the women of Cannan. Their wives and children are the one's that came with them to Egypt. And their descendants are called Hebrew in Exodus. Tamar and Rahab are Cananite women both in the lineage of king David and ultimately Jesus.
We know during the Roman era that "Jewish" people were spread out everywhere as well. Saul (turned to Paul) was born in what we now consider southern Turkey. So I am sure most of the Jewish people married within their communities, but history repeats itself, and there were most likely converts and or marriage to women/men of other ethnicities. Hence the melting pot we see today, because we all are.
I am not trying to whitewash anything either. I believe the people in the Old Testament ranged from olive to dark brown. Due to their Semitic origins and early marriage with Hamitic people groups (Cananites, Egyptians). But through the years they married other groups too. So you are going to have a plethora of skin tones. Solomon had tons of women in his life, so who knows where they all came from. Sheba included. She was possibly Yemenite or Ethiopian. So lots of marriages. Philistines who some people believe are very early people's from places that are now the islands surrounding Greece and Italy. They were enemies, but we know that Sampson married Delilah, so you have to assume others did as well. When they have done DNA studies on bones. A lot of the philistine genetics eventually blend with the peoples of the area.
We can go outside of the Bible too and look at the location and peoples of the Mediteranean. They all traded with each other, it was a central location for constant takeover from other nations. It was very easy to jump across the pond and start a new life and have relations with your neighbors.
My cousins kids are a great example of how you can be multi-ethnic, but still share same ancestor. I wont deep dive into their entire genetic heritage, but they have some ancestors from West African ethnic backgrounds and some European ethnic backgrounds. They might have a slight variation from me since I don't have anscestors from the region's in the West Africa, but we still share the same Viking ancestors. Doesn't change that. Genetics are a fascinating thing.
@@HeilYahshua the bible literally says Ruth was a moabite. Naomi her mother in law was an Israelite. The whole story of Ruth and Naomi is Ruth telling Naomi she that Naomi's God will be her God as well. Then they move back to Israel, and Ruth ends up marrying Boaz.
Secondly, I don't believe in different "races". I dont know what kind of Bible you read. In Ezra it mentions "Holy" race. But that is talking about a people that keeps God's commands and doesnt follow pagan beliefs, nothing to do with their ethnic heritage.
@@HeilYahshua I took hebrew lessons for a time. And was taught that Adam is mankind, ha-adamah is earth (clay, soil, land), and dam is blood. So one can assume that yes Adam means man of red clay. But that is describing what materials he is made up of. That is our creation story. We are all descendants of Adam. Do you not believe in the story if the flood in the bible? Technically Esau would have been a descendant of Shem one of Noah's sons. He married women that were descendants of another son of Noah Ham. All can go back to Adam though.
What is your worldview exactly? I dont want to call you a racist, but you keep bringing up race. God isn't a racist God. The bible says people of all tribes and nations will stand before the throne. Do you realize "racism" has ties to the belief in evolution. Evolution says we come from animals. And some of us are more evolved than others. Yes we share DNA with animals, but we also share DNA with trees and water, because we are of ha-adamah, the earth.
Do you believe God created mankind from the earth or do you think we evolved from animals? That is going to help me understand the things you are saying, because I think we might be coming from two very different worldviews.
I have never ever read the Bible and concluded or interpreted anything you are saying. So I am really confused.
Now if you are taking the word Edom (which translates to red) then sure maybe they were reddish looking people. But it seems like you are jumping through hoops to conclude that Esau was a "pure adamite" when the bible actually tells us that Abraham and even Eber were descendants of Shem, who ya, would be a descendent of Adam, but so would Ham and Japheth. The only thing that hasn't been mentioned is the Nephilim and how they fit into the story. And what your beliefs are on them. Maybe that is what is bringing you to these conclusions.

The expert should know that it was the $64,000 question from a 1950’s quiz show. Getting the first statement wrong doesn’t increase confidence, does it?
8:36 it’s not problematic at all. The reason they are having so much issues is because the further you go back in history the darker the Israelites get. Straight up. It angers me so much that I’m a black 5 time convicted felon from a place called Phoebus in Hampton, Va and I know more than these people with 3 letter titles and pieces of paper who are highly esteemed. All I know is what I read. And I study and research UNBIASEDLY (I think I made that word up lol but you get the picture) this is bias research picked through and some downright lies. It makes me mad. Because people look to these people and they just tell lies and omit info. Give the people the info and let them decide why are you giving info false in most cases to build a narrative? Baal or El is not a Semitic deity it’s a Hamitic deity. It was worshipped in the land of Canaan, and then the Israelites took it from them, killed them and took it, and named it Israel. Back then lands were named after the people that the people there descended from. Hence the name Canaan. And after that Israel. Everyone had their own culture, god, and laws. Now who was Canaan? The grandson of Ham! If you are Semitic that means you descend from Shem, the brother of Ham. How the hell is Baal or El a Semitic deity? If it’s the god of a Hamitic people? Not to say the Israelites didn’t worship him at a point of time. But the GOD of the Israelites is the GOD of the Bible. Deuteronomy 4:19, 20. No one else had HIM he was exclusive to the Israelites. Damn man how do I know more than people who went to school for 10 years? Or more? Or less? Fact check this. This man is lying. Another thing, if you descend from Shem, your Semitic too! Out of Shem came Eber. Another word for Hebrew. And Abraham, the Hebrew, had different sons. And grandsons. So you have Hebrew Israelite. Hebrew Edomites. Hebrew Ishmaelites. Hebrew Elamites. Hebrew Moabites. Hebrew Ammonites, and the list goes on. But the chosen line is the Hebrew Israelites. Damn yo

@IAM Judah Proof is that there are no verses that support this theory. Prove me wrong.
Very awesome! Lots of info! Thanks for uploading this video!!!
Why there should be finds representing an invasion around 1210 B.C.? Some Kanaanites went to Egypt and came back a few generatios later. Why the finds should differ? Egyptians an Kanaanite finds should be normal in Kanaan at this time. And the few different finds may show a slightly different history. Many peoples have stories like the destruction of Jericho, but they represent not war. They represent a form of Ethnogenesis hidden under a story of destruction and murder. Wouldn't this be a possibility for the Israelite history? For me it would match the archaeological finds better than the traditional biblical picture and the new one of a people developing just in Kanaan. And it's closely to the theory described by Dr. Maeir within the video.
Realy? Ever heard of the greek translation Phoenicia and Phoeniciens? Today, of course, it's a neutral expression, meaning all the people, who lived in Canaan, which, by the way, is just a geographical expression, a little bit like we speak of the Levante or the middle east. Within the Bible the use of these expressions is more complicated.
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION Germans do not call themself 'Germans' or 'Allemands'. That doesn't mean, that there are no germans in the middle of Europe, they just use the adjective 'deutsch'. Furthermore there are a lot of Europeans. They are Europeans, because they live in Europe, between the atlantic ocean and the Ural Mountains. They don't need to belong to a certain nation or the EU to be Europeans. And there have been people living in Canaan. And despite the question, which names they used themself, they all can be called Canaanites. Furthermore we know from ancient sources, that the Phoenicians called themself Phoenicians at a certain point of history. We don't know if they did so, because the Greeks and Romans did so or because they spoke the western Canaanite dialect or because of living in that area, or because they thought of them as one people. But, as shown above, it is not important, how they called themself or which peoples lived there. They can be called Canaanites, because they lived in Canaan. And archaeological finds prove, that the region was inhabited in ancient times. As you will notice, the bible uses the term differntly: Within the bible Canaanites are people, who live in Canaan without being hebrew. But geographically the Hebrews must be included in that term. And even the biblical term doesn't define their nationality: According to the biblical use of the word, they had just to live in Canaan and not being Hebrew to be Canaanites.
Why is it that a people who are defended by powerful governments and religious groups so hard to find? The lack of historical evidence presented here throws much into disrepute.
Is this "Dr" completely clueless?
"Isra" means wrestle or contest
"El" means God.
The name was given first to Jacob according to Hebrew texts.
It also has been engraved in proto-Canaanite language prior to the evolution of Hebrew language, on local indigenous currency 👉🏼 Shekel.
Same currency is today adopted by modern Israeli state.
We actually have many indigenous symbols on our coins which adopted from Canaanite times.

The Egyptian word ‘Hapiru’ meant ‘Bedouin land-thieves’ which describes tent dwellers who travell’d with their flocks and who carried around their own clan-god YHWH in a tent (aka ‘tabernacle’) until Jedediah/Solomon c. 920 BCE when the Phoenician Hiram of Tyre built a Stone & Wooden Temple on Mt Moriah near Mt Tzion of the Jebusites for YHWH & 20 other gods under him (Solomon & David married dozens of gentile wives who brought their own clan gods with them from their various city-states); interestingly Levi was not given land & may have been the only ‘Yisroelites’ who came from ‘elsewhere’ -Mosheh (‘son of’) & Miriam (‘princess’) Aaron & Phineas are all Egyptian names-the rest of the Tribes were essentially ‘Canaanite’ aborigines who worshipp’d El, Shaddai, Molech, Astarte, Azazel, Amon, Hadad, Ba’al etal. whose separate cults became merged into the cult of YHWH (‘a wandering Syrian Bedouin ready to starve was my father; a Canaanite was my mother’... said Avram according to the mad prophet Hezekiel...)
No, it did not. It meant murderers, robbers, or outlaws. it had no ethnic connotation, it was a class marker, more or less like our "thug," and included people of many ethnicities including some Indo-Europeans and some East Semites. And it wasn't an Egyptian word, it was a Sumerian word (SA. GAZ) translated to "habiru" by the Semitic Akkadians and only used by the Egyptians much later and usually when writing in Akkadian.
It's Aryan not Indo-European.
Great lecture excellent questions. thank you. one thing i like about much of Jewish academia that is very different than i found at Christian "academia" like Liberty University, is Dr. Maeir is not unique in that many Jewish scholars let the evidence lead, and seek truth where ever it leads. Sadly, the 'research' at my university was the exact opposite and frankly the vast majority of this generations christian 'academia' -that I have experienced - is not interested in following the evidence, rather in manipulating the evidence and redirecting attention away from truth, back to narrative. Researching religion is a true test of character because there is so much invested in that narrative. Kudos to those who do it honestly.
Yes the christens have done nothing but cause lies and misinformation in every time line throught out history
That depends. Harvard is a Christian school. There’s a big difference between a school that has so association with a religion and one of these ridiculous shit tier schools tied to televangelist types.
Where did the Hebrews in Egypt came from?
i feel like this subject requires careful research and scepticism. its like jewish folk festivals claiming their backround is a victory over greece or persia.. and the greek, persians and other peoples are like, what ? where ? when ? how ? what ?? certain subjects just happen to have a complicated relationship with truth.
Thanks for sharing this first episode, looking forward for the next episodes.
Biblical Hebrew is a good source to understand their origin.

After Israel (10 tribes) was taken into captivity by Assyria in 750 BC the remaining two Tribes were Judah and Benjamin, thus the people were called Judeans or Judah.
Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, Father of the 12 tribes. Ur chronology is wrong by 200 years, the Exodus was in the 1500 century BC ir, more precisely 1447. It wasn’t so long ago that Nebuchadnezzar was considered a myth until the Ishtar Gates were dug up out of the desert sands and so much history still lies buried beneath those sands. Egyptians plough their fields over the ancient history of Egypt.
The original Ur-Ra-El tribe was 10...July and August was added by the Catholic Roman conquest of Ceasars/Khazar/ Flaviaus clan... Julius (July) and Augusta (August).
I tend to lean toward 1447.-
I saw a line by Josephus that mentioned the daughter of the Pharo Thuth being the mother of Moses, I think. It has been a while.
I associate the expulsion of the Hyksos in the eighteenth dynasty with both the "Exodus" and the devastation of the eruption of the Aegean volcano near that time.
There does seem to be a discrepancy in the time for the major event, if there were only one eruption.

5:57 - 😅 he uses ‘Palastine’ which was not a name the existed until 60-70AD, and was named by the Romans to separate the connection to the land of Judah & Israel by using a romanized name of the Philistines (as a double blow)- Palestine.
But the Palestinians absolutely wasn’t a thing or a name of any land or even town anytime near that time period.. Yet he uses this name while simultaneously arguing that “as a historian, archeologist, scientist, we must use critical thinking and look for evidence that is extra biblical (never mind the Bible is 73 Books spanning millennia, and numerous authors), while also using Palestine as a name of the Canaanite/ Israeli area of the Levant 🤦🏾♀️
"Similarities in writing"!? The Israelites just about had a monopoly on literacy in Canaan. The Canaanites left no writing behind in their own language. When their kings wrote to Egypt, they wrote in Accadian cuneiform on clay tablets.

If so, it looks like the northern Israelites were more closely related to Syrians and the Judeans more closely related to early Arabs, all these groups being closely related with each other of course but developed their own distinct cultures over time.
The Rabbinic idea of not mixing meat and milk is definately a Rabbinic practice that came later, the commandment of Yehovah was do not boil a goat kid in its mother’s milk, not because God was abolishing a cheeseburger from our diets, it came from a Canaanite pagan practice to Baal where boiling a kid in its mother’s milk held pagan worship implications, and if you are Orthodox Jew, remember that Abraham took a kid and made gravy with milk and served it to the Angels of Yehovah and they did eat. The modern Rabbinic practice of no milk with meat is a Rabbinic enactment that comes from the Talmud in which many traditions add too or diminish from the commandments of Yehovah. And the Rabbis in their attempt to control the Jewish laity, or the common people, also have an enactment which is called takenot, or Maasim, ( what they do) that if you break any commandment of Yehovah that you can be forgiven it, but if you deliberately break takenot, or a Rabbinic enactment, you have no place in the world to come, so we must be careful of traditional teachings that are not biblical. In fact Yeshuah said if your righteousness does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, or Rabinic Judaism, you cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven, Yeshuah was deliberately challenging the righteousness of the teachers and Rabbis of his day, on how to enter into the life to come
Where did MSr mention the name israelite?
Good info! I love this subject! Thoughts on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser the third?
Depicted on this ancient archeological artifact is "Jehu".. grandson of King Omri of the Northern Kingdom bowing before the Assyrian king. 1st of all it's clear that this depiction of Jehu is a caucasian phenotype. (For what that's worth in today's wider cultural discussion of the origins of the Israelites). The other interesting thing here is the clear etymological connection between these "bit-Omri'(house of Omri) in the Assyrian language with the "Gimiri/Khumri" people in the Akkadian language who are also called "Saka/Sakae" in the Old Persian language on the Behiston rock in Iran. These peoples are also known in history as the "Cimmerians" & the "Scythians". J Flavius stated that the northern 10 tribes were an "immense multitude not to be estimated by numbers" & that they "lived north of the Euphrates". The wanderings of those peoples of that region, the Scythians and Cimmerians can be traced right into N Europe as the Germanic & Celtic peoples. The Scythians also for a time at least, were known to not eat swine. The intricate artisanal gold artifacts of the Scythians found also have some similarities with ancient Celtic artifacts. Welsh language and ancient Hebrew are very similar languages as well. There are many connections. The Med people as well, Greeks/ Romans were offshoots of early seafaring Israelites. Zarah-Judah, the twin brother of Perez..not getting the ancestral blessing that his brother had received, may have left Caanan. There is a reference in Kings that Solomon was wiser than "Kalchol & Darda" grandsons of Zarah. Kalchol & Darda are 2 names very similar to the founding Greek fathers "Calchus & Dardanus". Calchus being a legendary seer. Dan also a seafaring tribe became the Danoi (the old saying "beware of Greeks bearing gifts" is really beware of Danoi bearing gifts). Dan also settled in many other parts of Europe leaving his name all over the place similar to the prophetic blessing of a "serpent's tail/trail" spoke by his father, Jacob. (Danube, Denmark, Donegal etc.) The Phonecians were likely also a heavy mix of Israelites as the ancestral plots of land given to Dan & Mannaseh were part of Phoenicia/Tyre port cities. and they were the premier seafaring people of the Med. That trade of the Phoenicians coincides with the mighty reigns of David and Solomon. Who had great relations w the Phonecians. They settled parts of Spain & around & up the coasts of the Isles of Britain (named after Brutus from Troy, who were of Dardanus) & Ireland. As far as the tribe of Judah & the territory of Judea. These titles according to the Jewish encyclopedia are mutually exclusive to each other. Judea was named after Judah ..but not strictly comprised of members of the original tribe. Judea had become an amalgamation of people. Even mixing with Edomites via John Hyrcanus who forced converted Idumea into Jews, as outlined by Josephus Flavius. King Herod of course, was an Edomite. Personally, I think Levites are likely the heaviest portion "Israelite" tribe in the admixture of what we call "Jews" today. More so than comprised of 'Judahites" as the name implies. Remember, only 40 thousand of Judah even returned from Babylon, and then of those 40 thousand, we find in the book of Ezra, mixed with many other tribes ie Caananites, Hittites, etc. A good portion of the Tribe of Judah was deported alongside the Northern House. So in all of that, there is a motive and political reasoning to suppress these clear connections that we find in biblical, Historical, and Archeological records. I find it ironic that today, the Rabbis teach that Europeans are Edom. This is because the Biblical accounts are clear that Jacob & Esau must be polar opposite people. Cannot be mixed. The Hycranus account clearly shows they did mix about 100 years before Christ. Herod, surely an offshoot of that amalgamation. Its also noteworthy that the 1906 Jewish encyclopedia, states that the origins of the Turkic Chazars (modern-day Ukraine region) were intertwined w the origins of the Jews of Russia as there may have been some mass conversion around 800AD. The King of the Chazars believed that they had originated from Mt Seir, which was Esau Edom's ancestral land.

Were the original Israelites people of dark skin?
I mean yes, I’ve always considered people from the Middle East to be “dark complected,” if you were to put this Anglo-Irish boy right next to them in an ancient context we’d see a difference.
But this is just my opinion. I’d say they looked like peoples depicted in Egyptian reliefs.
I’m not a historian, just a Jew that likes to learn about history btw. I think a good way to get an idea of how the original Israelites look is to look at the mizhari Jews of the Middle East, a bit darker than the ashkenazi with more of a middle eastern look
They were typical Semites just like the Arabs. Olive/white complected if they are not getting a tan out in the sun. There are 19th century photos of middle eastern Jews and Arabs.
Skin complexion can be such a charged, and misleading description. You could put a Sardinian, southern Spanish, southern Italian and an Arab side by side and see little to no difference; dark "olive" skin, black hair. Yet separated by thousands of kilometers, and very different cultures.. but yes they would look like a modern Mizrahi, Arab, southern European or Berber. If you want to see an actual image look up the paintings from the burial tomb of Khnumhotep the second. Shows a wonderful color image of semites coming to Egypt. It's in excellent condition and the colors are vivid

Fascinating. I wish we knew more about the Harappin civilization. We know they traded with ancient Mesopotamia thousands of years ago. They were an advanced civilization in existence prior to the Indo -Iranian influx.
There is a massive Syriac Christian community in southern India as well, many of which may have been descended from the Jewish communities in the region since Greco-Roman times.
@Lemonello Many Jewish communities (including Syriac Jews in Antioch) did in fact become Syriac Christians. Syriac Christianity did not come from Rabbincal Judaism but from second era temple Judaism.
@Lemonello I mean in terms of religion. If we go by ethnic origins, the Jewish people are mostly closely related to people living in northern Syria/Iraq and southern Turkey like Syriacs and Kurds (Jewish Kurds in israel have their own Syriac dialect.)
Good video. I would love to know more about the tribe of Dan, and its relationship with Greece and the Dannoi or Danaan. Simcha Jacobovici seems to suggest the Dan tribes members fled to Greece, I myself have not seen enough in the publications to make a decision, curious to see others opinions on this.
Exactly seems like they could be the key to a lot of things. Homer constantly references a people called the danaoi in his epics. Saw a wonderful documentary correlate danaoi art to the construction of the ark of the covenant in palestine. It was built by the tribe of dan in the bible. I wonder if they also have anything to do with a part of the sea people's called the denyen
@@TheMrgoodmanners yes I agree. The documentary you referenced was made by the person I mentioned previously Simcha Jocobovic. He had an archeology tv program that was very interesting, although he put to much weight on the biblical narrative in my opinion. The program was called "the naked archaeologist" I definitely recommend the show though. If your a fan of this presentation I definitely recommend looking at the O.I. UA-cam channel. The OI is the oriental institute, through the university of Chicago, one of the best American archeology institutes. Dr. Aren Maeir had a great presentation there a few months ago. Also recommended Pennsylvania University's channel lots of great archeology presentations as well
@@imnhtp2006 thank you, I will look for that. I dont recall reading about it from that series. Although it's been years since I looked, i know its updated regularly.
Fascinating! Always enjoyed that part of Egyptian history, I just wish the Egyptian government would allow proper excavations of Avaris. Manfred Bietak has to walk a fine line at that excavation, a shame
The tribe of Dan are the Ethiopians ok.... Don't listen to these identity thieves. m.ua-cam.com/video/KbYZozeIWV8/v-deo.html
@@TheMrgoodmanners look these men are frauds, the info is now available. The Israelites was already been found since 1492. They are lying through their teeth. Watch and learn m.ua-cam.com/video/KbYZozeIWV8/v-deo.html
The first mention of Yahweh were the Shasu of Yahweh from Edom. Edom before Esau.
EDOM is the Land of Seir the Horite.
Yhwh is the God of the Horites from Edom..
*Two hieroglyphic references dating to the New Kingdom (1550 BC-c. 1069) refer to “the land of the Shasu of YHWH.” These are the oldest references to YHWH outside the Bible. The "Shasu of Yhw" is found on inscriptions from the Nubian temples of Soleb and Amara West, and corresponds precisely to the tetragrammaton.
The Horites originated in the Nile Valley. One of the oldest Horite temples was built at Nekhen in modern Sudan. At that time, around 4000 BC, the city set on the banks of the Nile. Originally the shrine was probably at water's edge, but later it was moved to high ground. The Horites are the oldest known caste of priests. They are later identified as ethnically Kushite.
Shasu may be a variant of Saka, another word for Horite royal priests among the Kushites. As they dispersed out of Africa, they spread the Proto-Gospel across the vast Afro-Asiatic Dominion. The Matsya Purana claims that the Saka ruled the ancient world for 7000 years.
The Shasu are definitively connected to the Horites of Seir in Edom (modern Jordan). The Horites occupied Edom at least as early as 2000 BC. Lists of place names in Nubian temples of Soleb and Amara West record six toponyms located in “the land of Shasu.” A monument of Ramesses II claims that he “has plundered the Shasu-land, captured the mountain of Seir” in Edom; a 19th Dynasty letter mentions “the Shasu-tribes of Edom” and Ramesses III declares that he has “destroyed the Seirites among the tribes of the Shasu.” Clearly, the Egyptians regarded the Shasu as a prominent part of the Edomite population which is described in Genesis 36.
Yahweh is from Edom and therefore a God of the Horites.
Deut 33:2: Yhwh came from Sinai, and rose up unto us from Seir; he shined forth from mount Paran.
Judg 5:4-5: Yhwh, when you went out of Seir, when you marched forth from the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped; yea, the clouds dropped water. The mountains quaked before the presence of Yhwh, the one of Sinai; from before Yhwh, the God of Israel.
Hab 3:3: God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran.
The priests of Heru in the bible are called Horites=Followers of Heru
Hor=Horus + ites=Followers of
Job was a Horite
Hur/Hor the father of Bethlehem was a Horite
The father of the Christian faith, Abraham was a Horite=Follower of Heru of Nekhen and Edfu.
Heru of Edfu is Heru Behutet
Heru Behutet is Heru Khuti
Heru Khuti is Mars
* Medu Neter Vol 1 page 226*

@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION
If Abraham is a mythical character from Kemet, who is Abraham in Kemet?
Another mythical character representing what?
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION
Make up your mind. You said Abraham was a mythical character from Kemet.
Representing who and what?
Point me to Kemet and show me who is Abraham
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION
Don't you know the Kemetic teachings are false doctrine?
Sorry, ding ding ding; you have been disqualified. You are not playing by the rules of the game's narratives. No more telling the truth and never mention the Metu Neter, because they don't know about it and never will look into it. If it is not Roman or Greek thievery, it's politically wrong. White people don't and will not quote sources outside of those two(maybe save Higgins and Massey). They are bred to only come up with and mention their (thieving narators) stolen sources. Funny, one simply can not leave this type source with one of them on a regular basis and get in return any feedback. Such knowledge will simply gather dust whilst in their possession, with a sour ass excuse: such as, "I haven't had time to read it". Meanwhile, you're looking at this big- ass, thick book on Darwin's dumb-ass ideologies and folks like Karl Marx and Emile (dirt ham) Durkheim and the rest of those fake Jewish minds.😂 Thanks, though I am quite sure the many have scrolled past your comment, except those that are somewhat familiar therewith.
Thanks, keep up the great work. It's not for them, it's for us.
Ps. They don't have a genuine cow as to where they themselves come from; fooling and shaking up all the races and cultures with mechanized deceptions the world over.
@NILE VALLEY TELEVISION
You easily prove that the Kemetic teachings are false when you prove that Ra is not the Sun but Mars and those who follow Kemet are revering the Sun and it's the trickster and the wrong light
Korean also lacks the English 'L' sound. Although ㄹ 'Lieul' is close approximate to L/R.
Genesis 32:27-28 KJV
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. [28] And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Exodus 1:1-5 KJV
Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. [2] Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, [3] Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, [4] Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. [5] And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
We are in present day , sub Saharan Africa, together with the original Egyptians, because we don't live in big cities and use robots , they don't recognize us, we are in the promise land(present day Africa) , after fleeing Egypt we settled in predominantly West Africa , were, we disobeyed God, so we were punished and cursed and taken as war Captives and spread Worldwide.
Lmfao yeh especially in Timbuktu the problem is most of us a Muslims now
These people know who the Israelites are they can't tell the truth if their life depended on it
Omg...truer statements were never made. Now it's just sad and laughable watching them try so hard to hold on to the shreds
You can relate 👍🏼
And I know the blasphemy of then that say they are Jews but are not and do lie, the synagogue of Satan is who they are🤬
Y’all must be some BHI 😂
kenmartin1409 let me guess.The Egyptians were really Nubian not Arab.
Even though the ancient Egyptian's clearly depicted the Nubian peoples as darker than themselves.They also depicted themselves as darker than Greeks.
Yes Kush conquer Egypt and Ruled for 91 years but that does not make Egyptians any more black than Native Americans being white.
Excellent rational explanations, loved it; it is crucial to keep the conversation scientific. This topic is too often exclusively narrated as exempt from the rigors of formal history (reflected a lot in the questions which tended to express that preference for myth or fantasy), yet, Dr. Maeir reminds us at all times that as much love and attachment people may have with religious mythology, we must apply the same rational to all narratives.
On another other topic, where do they come from depends on how long ago you want to go; as a Semitic people it means they are part of the broader Afroasiatic ethnolinguistic group, with peoples from Mesopotamia to actual Cameroon and Nigeria. We must remember that modern Hebrew is a reconstructed re introduced language, it did not evolve naturally from the ancient Israelites to what it is spoken today. It was reconstructed in the late 1800’s by Eliezer Ben Yehuda (Perlman) who spoke Yiddish (a Germanic language) and who was born in today Belarus; beautiful work tbh. Important to note as well that the ancient Israelites are unrelated to today’s State of Israel, of course, as excellent Israeli Historian Shlimo Sand Profesor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University explains on his book “The Invention of the Land of Israel: From Holy Land to Homeland” (2008)” says: “Secular scholars remained adamant in defining historical Jewry and its modern-day descendants as a people, albeit not a chosen people, but one unique, exceptional, and immune to comparison. Such a view could be maintained only by providing the masses with a mythological image of the exile of a people that ostensibly took place in the first century BCE, despite the fact that the scholarly elite was well aware that such an exile never really occurred during the entire period in question. For this reason, not even one research-based book has thus been written on the forced uprooting of the ‘Jewish people’.” (Sand,2008)
Noe 950, Sem 600 (semitic), Arfaxad 438, Sala 433, Heber 464 (primer hebreo), Peleg 239, Reu 239, Serug 230, Nacor 148, Tare 205, Abram 175 (Abraham), Isaac 180, Jacob 147. Jacob = Israel (padre de las 12 tribus). Israel quiere decir "El varon que vio a Dios".
I had seen awhile back (and please forgive me, but I cannot remember the source) that while peoples of Jewish heritage in areas of what is now Iran and parts of what might be called Central Asia, or on the Eastern Coast of Africa do show genetic DNA that correlates to Jewish peoples of Palestine prior to Emperor Nero's sacking in 70CE... the vast majority of Jews coming from Central and EASTERN Europe did NOT show similar DNA? So then, WHERE DID this very large European Jewry come from??? Whenever I have attempted to query the possibility that these were peoples from highly persecuted non- trinitarion or other minor religious, or even atheists during the dark ages of Catholic Inquisitions that sought refuge by migrating into Eastern European Jewish communities --- I have been most vehemently attacked as being anti-semitic? No one seems in any way willing to pursue this possibility...
@@arroyodave5845 Significa Dios lucha, Dios manda, Dios gobierna.
@@adrianalainez8499 Hola Adriana, sabes como se escribe Israel en hebreo? Estudia esa palabra en hebreo Ish - ra - el. Shalom
@@arroyodave5845 no es Ish. Que ignorante. La estas pronunciando como la gente lo hace ahora. Sabes que es una lengua muerte que no tuvo continuacion por siglos. Y que se revivio despues de mas de casi 2000 años. Y los Europeos le pusieron sus sonidos y no los del Medio Oriente originales. La Isra significa pelea o gana o gobierna sobre. Y el el obviamente es Dios. Pero no habla de Jacob sino de Dios mismo. Dios gobierna.
Why are the 3 syllables that spell is ra el are 3 EGYPTIAN Gods and the star of David is 2 EGYPTIAN pyramids turned upside down.
Watched a documentary of a journalist trying to tie the Hyksos to Moses. While it all sounded pretty good my biggest questions were didn't the pharaoh drown in the Exodus story? And how did a 15 day journey turn into a 40yr trek?? And feeding the number of the multitude would need a true Divine intervention.
