Unless... they lied.

[Grimoire Lenin]

We at least have some historical evidence that Book of Judges, Samuel, and Kings did happen in some form or another, maybe not exactly how the Bible says.

There's legitimate proof that Saul, David, and Solomon existed.

 

[Chris]

But the problem is the Egypt sources we have so mention a lot of old testament stuff but there isn't really a Moses section or anything about the lost tribes

There's actually some sentiment that the story of Noah and the flood is inspired by a historical major flood that took place at some point in the 3000s BCE

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Within the Fertile Crescent, to clarify.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Which was known known in the ancient world to have unpredictable weather patterns and was prone to flash flooding.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

With the archeological evidence that we have, we do in fact know that the ancient Canaanites were settled South of that area in what is modern Arabia, so there's no doubt that they would have heard through trade networks that a devastating flood would have felt apocalyptic to the people and thus they wrote created a fable about it in which their god was angered and brough destruction upon sinners.

Lol I remember this bc I had a high school teacher who was talking about how carbon dating proved the great flood happened and how science "can't kill my faith" but he ignored the other carbon dating that showed the earth was a little older than 7k years
