"Origins of Ancient Israel" - Carol Meyers

Carol Meyers is provoking me to pursue my love in history! But I’m in the middle 40s already lol

Finally! This learned lady confirms what I suspected for quite some time, namely that the people of Israel was a almagam of different tribes and ethnic (though related) groups.

What a very fine exposition. This makes me think that the troubles in that part of the world are predominantly about territory and real estate, not so much about religion(s).

Excellent speech by carol, may I also add that recently an Canadian Jewish historian and archaeologist,discovered a text in valley of the kings that stated that the hyksos people were expelled from egypt around 150 years prior to what the bible claims as exodus,this also aligns with the eruptions of the volcano on the Greek island of santorini which accounts for the biblical claims of plagues and famine and disasters that Moses would reign down on egypt,and the parting of the Red Sea,this was due to tectonic plate movement,also there was also an Egyptian pharaoh ahmose of the 18th dynasty,whom Moses was supposed to be named after,which you could conclude that’s were the bible has acquired this information from but the writers of the bible and Torah have exaggerated and twisted that fact to fit their own agenda,the Egyptians didn’t differentiate between Israelis and Hyksos.

will watch

This was very interesting. Thanks

Great content. Subscribed.

I love it when people embrace their real humanity instead of false religions.

Is there a transcript or outline available, of Ms Meyers' presentation?

Fascinating.

The historian Josephus Flavius said that the Isrealites were the Hyksos. That could mean that some Hebrew patriarchy were Hyksos Pharaohs. This would explain why there’s little or no evidence of the grandeur and splendor of the rule of David and Solomon as is described in the Bible. Instead of looking in Isreal for evidence of their reigns, maybe they should be looking in Lower Egypt 🇪🇬

Very good information thank you for sharing.

Yes

Siempre nos vamo a encontrar historiadores con varios puntos de vista evolutivamente siempre en medio oriente los pueblos fueron evolucionando de las regiones pero las mismos pueblos de generacion en generacion semitica

I find this very interesting and wish to know more. Can anyone recommend any books accessible to a reader who has not studied this academically?

Thank you for your studies and for posting. I left comments but some one keeps stealing them.

Awesome address!

Thanks

Check out what Ralph Ellis has to say about the early Israelites. Through his studies and research, he has been lead to believe that they were never captives in Egypt, but they were actually from Egypt and they had their own Pharaohs. He believes that that they were actually expelled out of Egypt.

Well nice presentation.
