hey bud, you know a bunch of this has been common knowledge dont you???
And what isnt common knowledge you are butchering through ignorance on the subject.
Israelites/hebrews go back to 1200 BC, before that they were a semi nomadic people that Egypt conquered in what 1209 BC, these tribal people were the foundation to modern Israeli's.
yes they started writing in 1000 BC ish, yes they had influeneces from previous religions as the area was a melting pot for semetic speaking people. Canaanites, Mesopotamians and Egyptians [in order] contributed to the early legends.
here get half a real education on the subject, read all 5 pages and if you want to debate something do it in a better format.

My friend,
I understand you feel educated on the above matters, but that is no reason to promote yourself through prideful posturing. I also have read all of the major works of Archaeologists, Anthropologists, Ancient Historians, modern historians, Theosophists, Assyriologists, Egyptologists from a variety of Museums, the religionists, and have been looking into this matter for quite some time. Whether or not you believe it to be common knowledge or not, and how you interpret the information is completely up to you, but I would suggest you take another look at some of the research you have done and add to that a few more years of study.
You seem to be posing as an expert on such matters, is this the case? If so, please give me the names of your books and your website and I will gladly read your work, if not, well, it might be time to get off the internet and get a real education!
