THEIR local language which was DIFFERENT.
No, it's labeled Phoencian, but that doesn't mean Hebrew script came from Phoencians. It's just a label for alphabet used by many of the canaanite languages.
It's funny ( sad ) that your copy-paste technique is reflected here too. I show that you're throwng spaghetti at the wall, you copy-paste that comment back at me, even though it's irrelevant. And I do have knowledge of Hebrew. I showed that you didn't, and here you are copy-pasting those same words back at me.
The truth is, Ugarit and Hebrew ARE very different alphabets. And they ARE different dialects which came from a large region. And Ugarit IS a subset of Canaanite, and the Hebrew IS a different subset of Canaanite. You, like many critics, reduce precision and accuracy in order to make a criticism. Once the precision and accuracy is returned, the criticism becomes invalid.
And none of this has anything to do with Hebrew myths. Still nothing significant about the topic has been brought.
No.... you have not brought a single example of a shared myth. None. You said there was little doubt that The Ugarite Dan il was the inspiration for the biblical Daniel, but there is nothing, zero, zip, in common between them. NOTHING. And you have not responded to that fact... because IT'S TRUE. You make the claims, again and again, and when they are examined they turn out to be false.
The names of the GODS are not the same at all. They're God is named EL or IL. ELIL is an idol in the Hebrew bible. But you don't know this, and you refuse to learn.
Our God is named YHWH. Do you know what that means? It CANNOT be communicated in two letters. The Ugarite God is name YW. That's it. Two letters. Unless you actually have some knowledge about what YW means in Ugarit, some kind of story that details who this YW is, then all you have is wishful thinking and faith.

"A Brief History of the Alphabet
Although the earliest writing systems—those of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and possibly India—date back to the fourth millennium BCE, they were non-alphabetic and in some instances included more than a thousand signs. It was not until around 1800 BCE, according to most scholars, that the first alphabet was invented. This alphabet, commonly referred to as Proto-Canaanite, was invented by Semitic-speaking peoples who were familiar with the Egyptian writing system and modified certain signs to fit into their own language.
“There is a wide misconception in the general public that the Phoenicians invented the alphabet. They didn’t. They adapted and standardized the alphabet several centuries after it was invented,” said Rollston. It was only after this that the ancient Israelites adopted the alphabet, developing their own version from the standardized Phoenician alphabet. The Arameans and Greeks would similarly adopt the Phoenician version of the alphabet, adapting it to form their own scripts. “The alphabet was only invented once, in around 1800 BCE, and all subsequent versions of the alphabet derive, ultimately, from that first alphabet,” Rollston concludes."
None of this has anything to do with Hebrew myths or gods. You really cannot evaluate relevance can you? There is no connection here.
Besides, you cropped out: "The site has likewise supplied an unusual cache of Hebrew texts dating to the Iron Age (c. 1200–586 BCE), when it was one of the most important cities in Judah."
There are Hebrew texts ( different language ) dating from 1200BCE. And that different language doesn't magically poof out of nowhere.
Your own source also says, which you quoted: "was not until around 1800 BCE, according to most scholars, that the first alphabet was invented. This alphabet, commonly referred to as Proto-Canaanite, was invented by Semitic-speaking peoples who were familiar with the Egyptian writing system and modified certain signs to fit into their own language."
Huh? Who were they? Sounds like a group of nomadic people who ended up in Egypt, and were educated there.... Hmmmmm.... That sounds like the story in the Hebrew bible. It's weird that you cannot see this on your own.
No.... what I deny is that everything should be smooshed together and all the differences ignored so that you can pretend that Judaism is Urgarit. You keep trying to make connections and they fail. I showed you they're different in almost every conceivable way. You copy-pasted from a church website a bunch of false irrelevant nonsense. You tried to sound smart claiming a connection between Ugarit alphabet and Hebrew saying they're both pictoral, but they're obviously not. Anyone can see it looking at Ugaritic. It's a series of seemingly random dashes.
I'm not the one copying and pasting and not fact checking any of it. You still have not addressed any of the false information you posted. You're not qualified to evaluate fact versus fiction.
