Re: Biblical Archaeology ..

[Marilyn7]

I appreciate your post Mordae and will review it

[Rockhopper]

There is nothing in that video that proves that the Bible is accurate. Jerico was destroyed by an earthquake about 650BC. There was a massive one that moved the Dead Sea Fault at that time.

Sodom and Gommorah were much older and were destroyed by a volcanic eruption. The whole area was rained on by detritus from Santorini when it erupted about 1200BC. An earthquake could well have finished both of them off too.

The bones found in the cave were never proven to have been Abraham's. We will never know because the monks who found them 1000yrs ago took them away and no-one knows where they are now.

The Tower of Babel was built in Babylon by the Sumerians for their king. It had nothing to do with languages at all.

David was never 'King' of Judea, he was the chief of a small nomadic tribe that wandered the desert and was probably a Bedouin.

The Dead Sea Fault stretches from the Gulf of Akaba to Turkey and is tectonically active.

The Jewish religion was put together by 6 "Rabbis" in Alexandria around 700BC. The people in that area were believers in many gods and were multitheistic.

take out the manipulation of the bible...and the message is clear in both texts...two civilizations...many light years apart..

Supposedly, there were seven. Three we killed/absorbed for sure. Erectus, Denisovan and Neanderthal. Survivors of at least one of them are due back momentarily. Which is probably one reason the UN keeps Mt Hermon surrounded. (UNDOF)

[Rockhopper]

The Erectus, Denisovan and Neanderthals were just part of human evolution Ken. Neanderthals were assimilated into Sapiens and we all carry their genes. Denisovans were a branch of Neanderthals.

Neanderthals were very successful for about 200,000 years but during the last ice age Sapiens evolved in the south of Africa and migrated to Europe.

There is much conjecture about why we superceded Neanderthals. The general hypothesis is that Sapiens were more adaptable to the change in climate.

This race, the men of the present time, was not the first. As for the previous race, all
in it perished. These current men are of the second race, which multiplied again from
Deucalion. Concerning those earlier men they say the following. They were
extremely violent and committed lawless deeds, for they neither kept oaths nor
welcomed strangers nor spared suppliants. As punishment for these offenses the great
disaster came upon them. Suddenly the earth poured forth a flood of water. Heavy
rains fell, rivers rushed down in torrents, and the sea rose on high, until everything
became water, and all the people perished.

Researchers have identified new evidence supporting the growing belief that Neanderthals were a distinct species separate from modern humans (Homo sapiens), and not a subspecies of modern humans. The study also found that the Neanderthal nasal complex was not adaptively inferior to that of modern humans, and that the Neanderthals' extinction was likely due to competition from modern humans and not an inability of the Neanderthal nose to process a colder and drier climate, as has been previously suggested.

From the neck down, my body fits the description of Neanderthal, my head however is modern human, so as some suggest, we bred with the neanderthals till they were birthed out of existence

[Ken McClellan]

Their statistical analysis indicated that the Microcephalin haplogroup D appeared about 37,000 years ago, and the ASPM haplogroup D appeared about 5,800 years ago - both well after the emergence of modern humans about 200,000 years ago. “In the case of Microcephalin , the origin of the new variant coincides with the emergence of culturally modern humans,” said Lahn. “And the ASPM new variant originated at a time that coincides with the spread of agriculture, settled cities, and the first record of written language.

The suspicion is that our "modern" brain's superior packing and ability came lately from another hominid species. It's either part of your Neanderthal heritage ... or it came down from the stargate at Mt. Hermon. Take your pick!

The Neanderthals were a separate branch of Homo. They were close enough to be able to breed with Sapiens and, as Len suggests, they completely intermixed with Sapiens and eventually disappeared. That's why we all carry their genes.

Disappeared, why and how?

Eurasians are their legacy.

Right Ken. They are part of us.

Yep, I have the thick muscled, short legs, large feet and hands, before my health went, and I may have this left, strong upper torso power, barrel ribcage. I handle cold far better than I do heat.

But the head is all more modern human head, so modern hybrid mix as it were with friends of mine showing more purely cro-magnon/modern builds.

Two linx that explain the development of Humans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_human_evolution#Homo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee–human_last_common_ancestor

Yep they are on Wiki but it shows the steps in human evolution. There are no "Missing Links".

Tim.

[Lenzabi]

There is also a nice bit on Netflix, "Your Inner Fish" which shows the connections with physical structures that allowed the fish to walk on land, develop ears, larynx, neck that allows head pivot, our bone structures, (One bone, two bones, many smaller bones, fingers/toes), etc, all started with transitional fish, and moved on to all amphibs/reptiles/birds/primates and humans.

Fascinating program.

Chimpanzee–human last common ancestor

So why didn't the chimpanzee evolve.

Your religious human evolution beliefs are nonsense.

[Ken McClellan]

They use tools and communicate.  Who says they didn't evolve?  Because they don't look or act like us?  Personally, I wouldn't blame them ...
