Not true...the real megido is in Yemen..the word Armageddon actually is "Har magido" from the semitic (middle east and Yemen old languages) which means "the mount of "magido" , still today it exists in Yemen "Gabal megido" and its inhabitants are called Bani megido

The first battle of Megiddo, in which Thutmose III defeated the rebellious Canaanite rulers in 1457 BC, is considered by most scholars as the first reliably documented battle in world history. We have multiple Egyptian texts explaining various details of the battle including army sizes, formations, movements, body counts, etc. All sources relate back to one man, the Egyptian military scribe Tjaneni, who accompanied Thutmose's army on the campaign, and who wrote a daily journal of the events.

[@Thor-Orion]

I mean, but we also know that the battle of Kadesh was significantly different than it was portrayed by the Egyptians. The Egyptians claimed they won a massive victory, the Hittites claimed they won and the reality being that the Hittites retained control of Kadesh. So take Egyptian sources financed and created at the Pharaoh’s instruction with a grain of salt. Relying on a single source of information typically has this problem. That’s why corroboration is king.

Great video. How did the modern conceptualization of Armageddon get associated with this city?

[@Discotekh_Dynasty]

Might be misremembering but my lecturers said there was evidence of several large ish battles there, so makes sense people would think there would be a “final battle” there

[@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw]

@mormacfey i appreciate that explanation but I'm asking why that name was associated with how we understand this concept of "armageddon"

[@SchoolforHackers]

It’s because the “visions” reported in the book of Revelations were not actually predictions - they are history viewed through a veil of religious hallucinations. Revelations is not about the end of history. It’s about the BEGINNING of history.

[@nickmartin123456]

​@@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw Because it's mentioned specifically in Revelations chapter 16. I suggest going to read it and coming up with your own conclusions. The chapter's only a page long and you can find it online. And it's hard to summarize because it's weird, like everything in Revelations.

[@_HMCB_]

@@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_JawMegiddo was the site of many ___decisive___ battles. The Bible’s use of its associative term is simply illustrative, meaning: the final decisive battle between God and man (in direct and vigorous opposition to Him) will take place at Armageddon. Not a single physical place-in as much as the entire of the world ‘s armies could not occupy such a rather small tract of land-but as a metaphor of a gathering of forces/a war in which God will be the absolute victor. Also, note that unlike modern interpretation, the Bible doesn’t speak of this as an indiscriminate war where all humanity will be destroyed. This doom and gloom is not representative of what this war is supposed to herald: cleansing of bad so that God’s government/kingdom can rule and restore peaceful and righteous conditions on earth.

[@Thor-Orion]

Copper alloy is such a less descriptive term, to be frank. Bronze is specifically 85-90% copper and 10-15% tin. There are also ways to make it with arsenic but it seems to have been far less prevalent. There are many copper alloys and they aren’t all bronze, i don’t know why anyone would choose to be less specific intentionally when the information to be more specific is readily available.

A while back I watched a vid that talked about a lost kingdom/empire that is referred to in a letter, possibly the Armana letters, where the pharaoh was corresponding with several "Great Kings". Does anyone know where I might find information on this?

[@Ishkur23]

The reason why Megiddo is written as the location for Armageddon -- the battle of all battles at the end of the world -- is because it was the site of the largest battle that the writers of The Bible would have known about within their lifetimes: The Battle of Megiddo in 609 BC. In that battle, Pharaoh Necho II of Egypt marched a great army through the Levant but were refused passage by Judean king Josiah. They fought at Megiddo, with Josiah perishing and Egypt annexing Judah. One interesting consequence of this battle it that it delayed the Egyptians from uniting with their allies the Assyrians, who without Egyptian aid fell to the Babylonians and Medes, effectively ending the Assyrian Empire. The Babylonians would soon afterward mop up the remains of the Egyptian army at Carchemish in 605 BC, and in the ensuing decades seize Judah and the Levant, crush a rebellion, destroy Jerusalem, and cart the enslaved peoples back to Babylon, thus ending any hope for an independent Hebrew state for the next 2500 years.

[@Ishkur23]

@mormacfey Yes, there have been a lot of battles there before. But none of them were within the living memory (and possible eyewitnesses) of the writers of the Bible. They had a very self-focused and extremely localized perspective from which to tell their history and make their proclamations. So nearly everything in the Old Testament was written from the point of view of the people living in the Levant at the time (~6th century BC), with their shared experiences, limited knowledge base, and narrow understanding of what's going on in the world.

[@Thor-Orion]

2,500 years? Have you never heard of Hanukkah, bro? The Maccabees had a state, from ~170 bc until the Romans rolled in around ~40 bc. So 3-4 generations depending on how long you consider a generation. And after the Romans rolled in it took over 130 years to get Judea under control with their genocides and mass deportation. The rebellions clearly wouldn’t have happened if they had no hope of establishing an independent state…

[@Ishkur23]

@@Thor-Orion The Hasmonean Kingdom was never independent.

[@Thor-Orion]

@mormacfey he was trying to argue semantics, but no historian agrees with him. They obviously were still a part of the world around them and had Hellenic influences, but they weren’t paying tributes, they were worshipping their native monotheistic God with idolatry and graven images non existent during this period.

Josiah was the "saint" king of judea, for his demise there, tales said one day the king of the jews/messiah will be risen from meggido in apocalyptic battle, Christians took on with these tales and hence came the idea of battle in har meggido, or Armageddon, the reason almost every person in western civilization heard of this place.

[@loke6664]

I think that is just part of it. Megiddo is in the basically only way for a long bit that you march an army north or south so the site has seen countless battles, even as late as WW1. It is the site that have seen most battles in an otherwise war torn region so it is an obvious choice for a future battle. I recommend the book "Digging up Armageddon" by Eric H Cline, it is an interesting book about the Chicago expedition in the 20s and 30s, what they find and their soap opera like stay in the area. He himself have dug a lot at the site and he speaks a lot about the history and what is in each layer too. Most famous building there probably "The stables of Solomon" which actually was built a couple of hundred years later then when they are supposed to been built, the Chicago expedition knew this already when they dug them up but their initial message to their patrons said Solomon built them so they just went for it to not look stupid. :)

Jesus comes as a thief in the night; only to slaughter, pillage, and destroy; come and gone before you awake. Then, when they awake, the kings of the earth gather at the site called Armageddon - apparently, to beat their swords into plowshares. A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly. (Joh 10:10 NABO) ("Behold, I am coming like a thief." Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his clothes ready, so that he may not go naked and people see him exposed.) They then assembled the kings in the place that is named Armageddon in Hebrew.

Prophetically, they used colloquial terms, of the common vernacular, terms that were idiomatic for the day, within their grasp of understanding as pertaining to the motif, within the existing manufature for said motif. Understanding what was to come, Joshua led then into the promised land and Moses took the highway across the desert to the border of the promised land within weeks of their departure from Egypt. His flock of chickens... uh... I mean - Christians.. were afraid to enter. Are we expecting something worse than the Holocaust? It shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time.

(Psa 22:7 NABO) God sent a worm which attacked the plant, so that it withered. And when the sun arose, God sent a burning east wind; and the sun beat upon Jonah's head till he became faint. Then he asked for death, saying, "I would be better off dead than alive." (Jon 4:7-8 NABO) (Thus begins the way of the lord in the desert) He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched earth… He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity (Isa 53:2-3 NABO) (apparently, the worm attacked the shoot also) ------------------------------------------------- Warning of the impending Day of the Lord, he was swallowed by the Beast out of the Sea and spewed out upon the shore as the Beast out of the Earth, as the sun beat down upon his head and a burning east wind began the Way of the Lord in the Desert. The way of the Lord in the desert needs to be put into context with the previous passage: The First Beast - Day of the Lord - Sacrifice - Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins. The Second Beast - Way of the Lord - Resurrection - Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God! (Isa 40:2-3 NABO) the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty (Rev 1:8 NABO) The beast that you saw existed once but now exists no longer.

Currently the map is central Anatolia, the Levant, Egypt and western desert, and Nubia. Probably in future dlcs, the map may be expanded to include those areas.There aren't enough playable and non playable factions in my view. Egyptians, Canaanites, and Hittites. I do appreciate the detail the developers took with using native ancient Egyptian names for the settlements in the Two Lands. I've asked for something like pharaoh since Rome II came out. My wish for the game was at release a campaign map about the geographic range as Rome II and Attila with Egyptians, Canaanites, Hittites, Assyrians, Mittani, Babylonia, Mycenaeans, Minoans, Libu tribes, etc. The sea peoples would be an event like the Mongols in Medieval II and some dlc ideas would be making them playable as like a horde faction, then a future dlc with Elamites added and maybe Indus valley.

It’s after eight on Saturday and I run out of white paint again, but I want to stay up all night and paint My only choice is to use color with out white Thank God, I am making my own paint by buying pure Pigment from Guerra Paint New York since 1989 Acrylic is more sophisticated technology than oil But lean on canvas should not be replaced by cotton canvas The nature of cotton is to deteriorate under influence of oxygen If you happen to on cotton canvas, your best choice is to just so white acrylic on the back to prevent oxidation of cotton canvas Bogoslowsky, a.k.a. immortal king in Gilgamesh

The European Jews are not descendants of Khazars. That is ridiculous. What's more, nearly half of the Jews in Israel are actually descendants of the so-called Mizrahi Jews, who lived all over the Middle East and North Africa until 1948. There are also Jews from Ethiopia there.
