I would agree with you that it was a grave error. Never leave people with nothing to loose. People with hope are a lot easier to deal with. In the specific...
One of the few things to be said for modern apocalyptic war is the generals and politicians know that they are liable to die along with every one else. It does...
It is minor technical details like these that make me more than suspect that when finally written down not all details were still known. The Jews were...

I don't think either side wins just one loses first. Still it did stop Nato and the Warsaw pack from starting any wars in Europ for 50 years which as a...

As I understand it, the Bible we know in its myriad translations was compiled during the 60 years in Babylon. The compilers were at pains to distinguish...
More-over the general public is unaware of all this. Many still think that the Hebrew Bible is much more historically accurate than even conservative Scholars...
I have been wondering if the word Amen which appears in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible is anything to do with the main Egyptian god Amen-Ra or...
It is possible that elements of the cult of Amun Ra were incorporated into the Jewish concept of God as similarities exist the concept of God the father being...
I've always been led to believe that "amen" was simply a word serving to close a speach meaning "so be it" or something equivalent and had nothing to do with...
Perhaps this ties to Egyptian "lone-god" Aten or Atun as conceived/shown/developed by the "heritic" Pharoh Ankenaten. I can toss out more than a few political,...
The term "Amun" comes from the Assyrian-translation of Sumerian cuneiform. The original Sumerian term was used to terminate a prayer or a hymn. The Semetic...
Many, many thanks for this info, Jach! Most excellent! Once again, I really must say that I think this is the most open, understanding, curious, learned, and...

That was actually Sigmund Freud's theory, hinging mostly on the similarity between "Aten" and "Adonai", an epithet of YHVH. I think most modern scholarship now...
That's interesting about Ahkenaton. I recently saw special that suggested Nerttiti actually succeeded Akhenaton under a male name. (Can't remember it.) Rabagas...
Another theory I have heard is that Akhenaton was the pharoah influenced by 'Joseph' (he of the coloured coat) and Ramses II was the pharoah at the time of...
(From Ben, a new mamber). I've seen that documentry about Nefertiti suceeding Ahkenaton. I think we may be getting names confused because there are two other ...
I too have come across this one and if u accept that the chronology is out in the bible then it does tie back in quite neatly to acceptable known theories for...
Yes, there's another case, too. But the documentary I saw said that Nefertiti succeeded Ahkenaten under the name of the Pharoh who preceded Tutenkhamen.(No...
Greetings. Such a learned group as has been assembled here was the first I thought of when I was posed a most difficult question to answer. Did the people of...
I don't think Akenaten blamed Amen-Ra for Nefertiti's death as she didn't die until well into the Amarna experiment when a plague swept through Egypt. Several...
