There is not a single traditional Jewish text that suggests that the Israelites had anything to do with the construction of the pyramids. Another myth. In fact, some have argued that the pyramids existed prior to the time of the arrival of Jacob and his family, and even prior to the time of Abraham.

Who says I did.

Mirrors much of Dever, and I have read some of his work.


It would be interesting to see who Karen Armstrong uses, for her sources.



You also forgot this from your link above

Yes I do.

Dont get me wrong I like her.

But she is not qualified. In her wiki link, they claim her as a scholar and historian but it is not backed with credentials.

Considering that Egypt ruled over Canaan for hundreds of years, it certainly seems worthy of investigation.

It would be except. Tut, his son, went right back to polytheism, and his whole era wiped from Egyptian history.

You'll find Redford who throws his hat in the ring for this, but he has been soundly refuted.

Sadly she is a British author and commentator.


If I wrote a book that gets published, would I be a scholar?

outhouse

Here you go brother Davka

this claims she is a religious scholar, she is second on the list

It is a very poor list though.
