❤❤❤❤ So exciting!!! I love watching new discoveries of artifacts from biblical ancient times that has to do with God all the people involved. I love the history and how everything is connected and explained with proof to show non believers. I remember telling my grandmother the first time I found the apocrypha and explaining to her that there's still a lot of missing of the dead sea scolls and records missing about the history of theses important events, stories, and people. To me are crucial to our understanding of biblical times, the Bible and of God's wonderful masterpieces. Ugh Lord knows I would have very much loved to be there... it's so amazing!!! I always get so excited I can barely stay seated. I can't wait till all the peices are put together again and shown to the world for every one to see that God is real and the stories are real, the Bible is real and the history connecting all what scientists finds are real. I love science and explaining this from the biblical stand point to a non believer with proof their eyes light up and are awaken and they have the need to find out more and it help me to bring people closer to God. Just the sheer hunt for new information makes them dig to prove the Bible wrong but end up believing in God in the end. They change their ways and no strong believers. The proof was always there in the scripture but now because there's so may of scholars and archeologists bringing their finds to light, more people are starting to believe. I love it!! Thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤❤. God be with you all and keep you always 🙏🏽

Why don’t you have a “Thanks” option on this channel? Great videos. God bless you!

[@xylfox]

Fascinating! Maybe there are more findings in this area

[@robsellars9338]

I love this channel content, so upto date and easily the most credible source for serious research. How do we sign up for the e-magazine?

CE stands for Common Era, BCE stands for Before Common Era, by international agreement

Actually from what I have seen the lack of papyri and uses of pottery shards is a reflection of they didn’t have any paper producing plants. The same situation exist in Mesopotamia where they used clay. It has given us lovely tablets. One of the Sumero-Akkadian tablets recounting the Epic of Gilgamesh gives an elaborate account of Gilgamesh and Enkidu shipping logs downstream into Mesopotamia. Many just refer to fighting the Demon Humbaba (Humwawa) and gaining control of the Cedar Forest. Most think the heroes are in Ancient Lebanon. The supposed demon is actually a cannibal who wears a mask made up of the dead skin of one of his victims. This is an implied cultural condemnation of cannibalism as is seen in the Greek myth of Tantalus. The Greek myth does not refer to actual cannibalism but condemns Tantalus serving an improper, impious meal to the gods. Jews, Greeks, and Romans openly condemn human sacrifice in numerous sources. Jewish tradition is the Sacrifice of Isaac as an end to human sacrifice; Greek counterpart is Tantalus and does not even refer to it as ever being a custom but refers to it as Tantalus trying to trick the gods. The Greek gods are even unfamiliar with humans as food in the tale. Homer, of course, in a later era, makes remarks about the “bloodless” gods or makes comments about them not having blood but black ichor coming from the blood of animal sacrifice. Noted human sacrifice cultures, of course, are Aztec/Mayan, Mesopotamia, Celtics, and various Polynesian island cultures where people generally jump into volcanoes. None of the cultures named above practice cannibalism unless we count Polynesian ritual of eating an enemy’s heart. Amazonian tribes, the poor people of New Guinea, and Australian aborigines are considered former cannibal cultures. Reason given is lack of sizeable game animals. Egypt, like China, never even mentions cannibalism. Both have had the occasional human sacrifice but it is not given ever as routine human sacrifice.

This is incredible!

Bravo 👌

What's the connection to Ramses II? What's there to make that connection??

[@Alleinjesusrettet]

Schade wegen dem Lärm im Hintergrund während des Interviews. 😮

[@rafaeljuniorsierra-9708]

Question. Have they ever found the cave of Machpelah where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac are buried? And where in Israel is it?

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

It would seem that the artifact authorities would create a group of volunteers to protect the areas till they're fully excavated. They could camp out there, work on 12 hr shifts. Ex military and police are a good start. These things are way too precious to let a hater of God of Israel destroy them.

למה אין תרגום מובנה לעברית?

[@geektome4781]

I keep hearing “lapis stones speak.”

[@siegistic]

Why is it called the Ishmael papyrus?

[@OkOk0k-No]

Why no translation to Hebrew?

[@pauldimeglio2375]

Brevity is so important. I see a need to be concise and accurate, limiting excess wordiness. Why take thirty minutes to say what can be said in 10?

Hagar acted haughty to Sari which motivated Sari to resent Hagar. Hagar started it.

But why punished her child ishmael?

[@KenJackson_US]

Why do you say "BCE" instead of "BC"? Supposedly BCE means "before the common era", but the *_only_* thing common about this era is Christianity, so it makes more sense to say BCE stands for "Before the Christian Era". But then why not just keep with the traditional *BC?*

[@jeremias-serus]

Because to say “The Time of Christ,” as “Before Christ” (BC) implies, assumes that Christianity is true, because the central claim of Christianity is that Jesus is the Christ. Which obviously a lot of people don’t believe. With that being said, I personally don’t care and I will always use AD/BC simply because it’s shorter and catchier regardless of what my beliefs are now or in the future, lol.

[@KenJackson_US]

@@jeremias-serus: _"... “Before Christ” (BC) implies, assumes that Christianity is true, ..."_ No it does NOT. It only means that Jesus Christ was a significant enough of a historical figure and historical event to use as a peg for the calendar. What one person has shaken up the world more than that particular person?

[@jeremias-serus]

@@KenJackson_US Sorry, but you're simply wrong. Christ is not what Jesus of Nazareth called himself, nor the people around him. Christ isn't a name, it's a theological term which implicitly affirms both the claims of Judaism to a degree in that there is such a thing as a messiah (anointed one) and also Christianity in that Jesus was that person. This is why in modern times when talking strictly about the historical Jesus we do not ever say "Jesus Christ," but simply Jesus or more commonly Jesus of Nazareth, regardless of one's beliefs. What if Early Christianity never attached to Greek? What if we strictly called him Jesus Messiah nowadays? What if BC was actually BM, Before Messiah? Do you think that modern day Jews would have a slight theological issue with that? I think that they would, seeing as they don't accept that Jesus is the Maššiaḥ. "What one person has shaken up the world more than that particular person?" Jesus isn't special in this way. Mormons say the same of Joseph Smith: "Why is everyone so up in arms about our Prophet?" Muslims say the same of Muhammad. Followers of Šabbetay Ṣebi (false Turkish Jewish messiah in Ottoman Empire) also said the same, "why does the world hate our messiah?" In fact, what if instead of the Christian dating, we used the Muslim dating? Ignoring the years, let's say we're in the 2023 AH, the Anno Hegirae, the Year of the Hijra. Do you think you or other Christians may dislike that? Not theologically disagree, but simply dislike that the year that you are referencing with your friends & family is based on some other religion's questionable dude? Now, keep in mind, Christian & Jewish dating are different from Morman & Muslim dating. Christian & Jewish dating both imply theological components, whereas Morman & Muslim ones don't necessarily. The Muslim Hijra was simply a physical action that Muhammad did, traveling from one town to another. Nothing magical, nothing that implicitly confirms aspects of Islam. There was no prophecy for it. However, the Jewish dating--regardless of how modern Jews feel about it--implicitly means that the Earth was formed 6000 years ago. In this way, if BC actually stood for Before Christianity, then that'd be all cool. Christianity is simply an objective thing that we can all agree became a thing 2000 years ago. But a figure that IS ACTUALLY the Christ as the Old Testament & Gospels depict him? Kind of problematic. Similarly, AD means Anno Domini in Latin, which means The Year of our Lord. Also quite problematic, 6 billions humans don't accept him as their lord.

[@KenJackson_US]

@@jeremias-serus: _"Christ is not what Jesus of Nazareth called himself, ..."_ Good grief! You're quibbling about the name. I called him that because that's what he's called. YOU had zero difficulty identifying who I was talking about, which proves that I was successful in identifying him with that name. *Jeremy:* _"Jesus isn't special in this way."_ Oh good grief. More silly quibbling. Consider this final stanza of the "One Solitary Life" poem: Nineteen centuries have come and gone And today Jesus is the central figure of the human race And the leader of mankind's progress All the armies that have ever marched All the navies that have ever sailed All the parliaments that have ever sat All the kings that ever reigned put together Have not affected the life of mankind on earth As powerfully as that one solitary life

[@jeremias-serus]

@@KenJackson_US Interesting how you actually replied to exactly none of what I said. Nothing here is a quibble--what words we use and how we understand them actually matter. There's a reason why Jews and non-Christians, non-Muslims do not call him "Jesus Christ," it's because they do not believe he is Christ OR do not believe in the concept of a Christ to begin with. You realize that Christ is a title, right? It's not his surname. And it's correct to say Jesus isn't special in this way. Siddhartha Gautama is the central figure of Buddhism, Muhammad is the central figure of Islam, Moses is the central figure of Judaism, Zarathustra is the central figure of Zoroastrianism, Joseph Smith is the second central figure of Mormonism, John the Baptist is the central figure of Mandaeism, the Baha'u'llah is the central figure of Baha'i, etc. Many different figures have been "the most important" to different people groups & beliefs throughout history. Jesus is the central figure for Christians, of whom there are 2 billion on Earth currently. However, in Islam, Muhammad is the central figure--and of whom there are also 2 billion practitioners. Are you making instead an argument from who had more historical impact? Or whose people are currently more powerful?

Ishmael is a Hebrew name.
