Significant Find by the Israel Antiquities Authority

RE: Significant Find by the Israel Antiquities Authority
Wait, so finding evidence of polytheism of both Egypt and the Canaanites, should prove that the Hebrew cult was a spinoff. But somehow Jews will spin this to mean they got it right despite the fact the other two were around prior. Still doesn't make their Lilith story or an other fantastic claim in their texts true.

They simply found a man who believed in the superstitions of his time.

They shoehorned Moses in after the fact. There were no Jewish slaves in Egypt. There certainly would have been mixing of Egyptian and Mesopotamian polytheism considering the close geographical proximity.

The idea of a "rebel" slave is not new to Hebrews. Humans like the idea of an underdog and "Moses" would have been a character name based upon the myths of polytheism that got filtered through time ending up in Hebrew Text.

No different than El, Elohim and Yahweh all being names taken from the Ugartic text from the Canaanite Polytheism to be later used by the Hebrews.
