Hello All
Hello Idaho Jones. I saw that documentary too. yeah a lot red faces about that discovery. There was many academics with noses out of joint with that one.
Interesting enough I saw another documentary the other day about the oldest verifiable event with modern day archeology from events mentioned in the Bible. There was an archeological discovery of ancient writing that mentions the house of David. This could be earliest verifiable reference in the Bible to the story of King David?
There has been no Archeological evidence to support the exodus.However Archeology showed the earliest adoption of religion into the worship of one god appears that the Canaanites. evidence shows a great change in the region where 3 large cities was abandoned and two empires crumbled evolving into 350 small city states in the hills around Palestine. Their one god was Yahweh, But this process abandonment of other gods even was not over night but over time the change took place.
The first testament when put under scientific scrutiny was book with at least four authors over a period of time. All single god religions have evolved from this earlier religion.
If these alleged books turns out to be real then I am sure it would after further scrutiny reveal more insights to our common history.
However if the writing is Phoenician. I seriously doubt the authenticy of the book. The Phoenician language and culture was already long gone way before the time of Christ so the claim that the image is of Christ to me is not creditable.
Hardluck
