Nefer-Ankhe Posted August 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Has anyone watched this documentary? My extremely religious friend told me to watch it hearing that I'm an ancient Egyptian fanatic. I find it very hard to watch like things? Thoughts please? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davros of Skaro Posted August 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2018 No, but "evidence", and "Exodus" does not go together very well. Have your friend watch this: 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted August 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I've been curious to see Patterns of Evidence, if just to see perchance a new spin on an ancient fiction. One must keep up to date, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blackstarraven Posted August 10, 2018 Popular Post #4 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Ya delivering the Jewish Perspective of this.... It's a joke. The vast majority of Jewish people just openly except that the Torah is a parable. It also kind of hurts the story of the Exodus that... #1: Native Egyptian based kingdom where never heavily slave based. Clearly not enough to warrant 600'000 families. (About 2 million people) That would have meant that Jews made up about.... 400% of the slave population at the height of slave populations in Pre-Roman Egypt. #2: The Egyptians where pretty good record keepers... and never mentioned it. And mind you that we know that the farthest back Jews could have even in been Egypt is about 300 years after the Constructions of the great pyramids. In full record keeping time. #3: There is actually no evidence of 2 million people ever crossing the sinia on foot. - And let's not even get me started on the Geographic problems with The Entire story of the Bible. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly about David Rohl's new chronology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Rohl) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly about David Rohl's new chronology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Chronology_(Rohl) "Before the 1995 publication of A Test of Time, Thomas L. Thompson, a theologianassociated with Biblical Minimalism, had insisted that any attempt to write history based on a direct integration of biblical and extra-biblical sources was "not only dubious but wholly ludicrous".[5] Rohl explained his view on the issue in The Lost Testament(2007): "Is the Old Testament history or myth? The only way to answer that question is to investigate the biblical stories using the archaeological evidence, combined with a study of the ancient texts of the civilisations which had a role to play in the Bible story. But this has to be done with an open mind. In my view the biblical text – just like any other ancient document – should be treated as a potentially reliable historical source until it can be demonstrated to be otherwise."' 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefer-Ankhe Posted August 30, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Admittedly it is an interesting watch ( I haven't finished as of yet, so can still be destroyed), but they've changed the exodus time from the commonly accepted New Kingdom under Ramses II to the Middle Kingdom. It also investigates all aspects of the exodus tale. I don't know, I'm feeling very apprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefer-Ankhe Posted August 30, 2018 Author #16 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The Brooklyn Papyrus apparently illustrating a list of Hebrew names of slaves. Avaris apparnetly a settlement of Israelites? Higher infant death in this community apparently supporting the bibles claim of the Pharoah ordering the death of babies. Just a few examples of what is being brought up in this documentary.
