In a world without God...

[Drich]

How do you know that Odysseus, as Homer recorded, getting into Circe's island did not happen?

..Because the Author did not repersent it as being an actual event.

Hell that story probably isn't as heavily edited as the 'good book',

Do some reserach on it, Homers story is not complete, it's not even his. It's based on 400 years of oral tradition, that was written in a poetic form.

but Drippy, you are getting desperate. You don't ask people if X did not happen, you ask people if something did happen.

I'm make statement in order to draw out discussion. If something seems easy for you to counter to the point where you make a point, then what I've done works.

it depends on who they are written by. The Egyptians are notorious for expunging or simply not recording defeat. They've even wiped out whole pryamids of rulers they did not like, and attempted to erase away any signs of the One God that ruler had the nation worship.. If there exile was for only fourty years, that very generation could have wiped their own shame from history. Now add the fact that the Babylon did not make it to modern times (as they were the one to defeat eygpt) It would be logical that we would know nothing about Egypt's defeat.

History is written by the victors and maintained by who is left. Meaning your 'written record' is only as reliable as those who orginally wrote it, and every single generation dedication to perserve it from that time to this. Neither of which would be in egypt's favor to perserve this defeat.

In short you dont know, what you don't know.

Do you have a citation for those claims?
