Quote:At its core, the Tanakh is an account of the Israelites' relationship with God from their earliest history until the building of the Second Temple (c. 535 BCE). Abraham is hailed as the first Hebrew and the father of the Jewish people. As a reward for his act of faith in one God, he was promised that Isaac, his second son, would inherit the Land of Israel (then called Canaan). Later, Jacob and his children were enslaved in Egypt, and God commanded Moses to lead the Exodus from Egypt.
The earliest civilization on earth is really unknown so we can't actually know what happened during the time of abraham.

For some reason & for many similarities between this ancient artifact & many other ones discovered later, this might be a proof that people did worship something back in the past. The idea of religion is just not that new. Which also makes the theory of Judaism & its relatives valid.
