Interesting Find in Turkey

I guess you didn't read the actual article...

Although biblical scholarship differs, it is widely accepted that the Hebrew Bible was being assembled around the same time as this treaty, the seventh century BC.

I think historians / archaeologists might know a bit more about history than you do...

As the article itself states, biblical scholarships differ on this. It's difficult to pinpoint when exactly the bible was started, as 5,000 years ago there was no written language. The stories of the bible had been passed down for many generations, even thousands of years, before they were ultimately scribed. So the writing of the bible began with the stories that were passed down verbally.

Have you heard of cuneiform? You know, pretty much what the article was about?

The cuneiform writing system was in use for more than 30 centuries, as the world's first system through several stages of evolution, from the 34th century BC down to the 1st century AD.[6] It was completely replaced by alphabetic writing in the course of the Roman era and has left behind no descendant systems in continued use. For this reason, it had to be deciphered from scratch in 19th century Assyriology. Successful completion of decipherment is dated to 1857.
