Ok? What’s the significance of “400+”?

also, what is the significance of 12 tribes, when they are on lands of the Ottomans and the Romans?

The map is shoddy as is much "scholarship" of the region; shoddy even to today.

and MOST SIGNIFICANT - the map doesnt show the existence of even the first ancestor of the Askenaz who likely NEVER gave any creedence to jewry until they needed them to trade as Khazars on the trade routes.

and of course, reap the benefits of the Balfour Declaration of the Rothschilds and the Zionist racism and genocide crimes:

"give one country that you don't own to a second country that also doesn't own it, and make the owners hide or leave and endure the resulting theft"

Map of the 12 Tribes of Israel by Blutarsky..which happens to be 400+ years before Islam was created.

So your map starts at 1200BCE. That’s 1800 years before “Islam was created” if you consider that to be around 600CE or around the time Mohammed allegedly existed. I know others have posted this but thought I’d pile on.

It’s worth mentioning that this map is nowhere near historical. For example, Israel never possessed Tyre… that was a Phoenician city. The inheritances of the tribes in Joshua is a make believe map that never really existed. Those tribes never controlled those lands in that way.

If the "Twelve Tribes" ever actually existed (which they did not),

They kind of sort of existed but not in the way described in the Bible. In reality, they were all separate tribes that all pooled together eventually under a common master king… a king of kings. It was done for political reasons and for protection from adversaries - like a confederation or military alliance.

For example, the land of the tribe of Dan (adjacent to Philistia) was possessed by the Danuna people which were the same “sea peoples” of the Aegean Sea that were settled in the land by Egypt when they defeated and signed a treaty with the sea peoples. The leader of the sea peoples of Danuna joined in an alliance with the Semitic/Canaanite people called the Israelites. The Philistines did not join in their alliance, and hence were never considered to be a tribe of Israel.

Also consider most of the (partially true, partially fake) history was written by Judeans and there was a lot of embellishment.

Yes! This is true.

That map is inaccurate. Benjamin never conquored Jerusalem. That's just one issue.

Benjamin: The smallest of the tribes. The first king, Saul, was of the tribe of Benjamin and was head and shoulders taller in stature than the other men around him.

When Saul was king and the Philistine champion, Goliath, threatened and taunted the armies of Israel, a much younger (and smaller) David of the tribe of Judah, came forward and killed Goliath with a sling and a stone. The interesting thing about this is that it was the tribe of Benjamin that was well-known for using the sling as a weapon. So, David killed Goliath with the very weapon that Saul should have been proficient with.

Another note about the men of the tribe of Benjamin - they were noted for being predominantly left-handed.

The area of Jerusalem, however, was not captured by Israel until David was king after Saul. Israel had taken root in the Promised Land under Joshua, but throughout the years of the judges the land was not entirely conquered and taken away from the Canaanites, Amalekites, Amorites, and others. Saul was deposed from his throne because he did not utterly destroy and kill every man, woman, child, and living beast of the Amalekites.

Saul's successor, David, accomplished the complete conquest of the land shown on the map that you question.

In revelation and the mention of the 144,000, there is no mention of the tribe of Dan. What happened to them?

Kinda refutes the terrorist sympathizer claims that Israel should "go back to the rightful owners".

By this logic we should start handing the US back to the Indian tribes.

Genetic surveys show that the Palestinians and the Israelis are very closely related, and share the same origin in what we now call Israel.

And here you are again with the bigtime palestinian sympathy. Why do you feel that way?
Do you not believe that in ancient times hebrew people occupied what is now israel ?

I think it’s silly to make an appeal to “ancient times” to support treating other people horribly.
