Nice, but probably redundant; I think that may have been done already,more than a few times. But hey, whatever floats your cookies.
I saw that in a documentary recently.
PLUS it seems that not only did the Jews NOT conquer Canaan,they WERE Canaanites, probably refugees from the crumbling Mesopotamian empires.
The Biblical claims of Joshua's conquests and genocide in "The Promised Land' are contradicted by current archaeology,as far as I'm aware. (As indeed is the myth of the Exodus)
That's just a hypothesis put forth that is no more valid than my professor who believed they came from the Sea Peoples.
Current archeology as far as I aware only contradicts what they believe to be Jericho (they aren't even sure it's the right fucking city to begin with) was destroyed by fire instead of by earthquake.
So basically, when archeologists say they found an ancient city (whether Biblical or not), my first question to them is...are you sure? Where's the corollary evidence linking this city you just found to the name you placed upon it?
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
