There was a drastic level in sea rise that corresponds to the end of the last ice age. It didn’t flood the whole world, but depending on where you were living at the time it would have seemed like it.

The Old Testament talks of a wrathful and vengeful God that spited people and beseeched his followers to do the same even women and children, while the New Testament talks of a God of love and peace.
Assuming the above is accurate, which is it? And if the Bible is to be believed exactly, why the difference?

If you have Audible there are several Great Courses books/lectures I've listened to that does deep dives on several of the topics you've just mentioned

May I introduce you to Lake Agassiz. The melting of the ice in Hudson Bay caused this lake, which is about the size of the Black Sea, to have been the cause of global sea level rise.

We all know the story of God creating Adam and Eve. What’s interesting is when Cain (Adam and Eve’s first born son) killed Abel he left Eden and settled in a town called Nod which was east of Eden , got married, and started a family of his own.
I don’t know of any books that go into detail about where the people from these other towns came from since they obviously didn’t originate from Adam and Eve.

The Silurian Hypothesis
quote:

Abstract
If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today? We summarize the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene, and demonstrate that while clear, it will not differ greatly in many respects from other known events in the geological record. We then propose tests that could plausibly distinguish an industrial cause from an otherwise naturally occurring climate event.

Basically the idea is that a species of intelligent reptilians developed after the dinosaurs went extinct and over time all traces of their existence has been wiped out.

I just came to posit that you'd be hard pressed to tell a Jew from someone from Syria, Lebanon, Spain, Libya or Sicily. We sort of all look alike for a reason, and we're from all of those places. Jews got repeatedly kicked out of multiple countries for hundreds of years, so we moved around alot.

Control of trade through Constantinople is a big factor. The ultimate melting pot of hot chicks. (Can I get a hell yeah for Turkish women!)

Not to be a dick, but Judaism shouldn't count at a strange religion, because we own the the Old Testament, and we built the temple(s). You discount how Rome worked, and how the slave trade worked. It's not "Italian" or "African", it's far, far, more blended than that.

I'd suggest you fly to Jerusalem, and get a guide (I can hook you up with at least two) and let them explain it to you. Guides in Israel have to go through months of training.

Be sure to visit the underground part of the wall. Nobody gives a F about Mayan or Incan heathens. Take Turkish to TLV, take a bus to Jeru, learn for yourself.

With their help man created the Tower of Babel to reach the heavens, and man became too powerful
This tower was actually the Elohim’s communication tower. As humans were getting smarter, they attacked it, destroying it. Then the shite hit the fan.

Well, the Bible says women mated with giants which i think were arch angels
Not exactly. This was the space aliens doing in vitro fertilization of earth women as they were experimenting to create humans that could render more adrenochrome. Much like today, we create turkeys and chickens with so much breast meat, they can’t walk. Or cattle that get so fat quickly. We were a breeding program for them so they could harvest our intestinal fats to huff.

That’s how a “Virgin” Mary actually occurred. Jesus was a GMO human. As we pretty much all are now.

They will be very pleased when they return with how fat we have become.

And the Angels were the enforcers of the Elohim, specially trained to deal with us nasty smelly bastards that didn’t take the time to anoint ourselves in oil to hide our repulsive odor from “the gods”.

12,000-ish years ago is when SOMETHING definitely happened to abruptly end the last ice age - causing rapid melting of the ice caps, causing rapid rising sea levels and probably the massive global flooding that is documented in virtually every culture in every part of the world.


Some evidence indicates we got hit by meteors.

Google Graham Hancock Younger Dryas Period. I’ll produce links later

What this guy said OP. Jesus was a Levantine and a Jew, so he almost certainly looked at least something like the European depictions of him, which typically have a dark white to olive skin tone and a fairly prominent nose. If you really want to learn, stop spouting post modernist self-loathing propaganda and actually learn.

Jesus was also not a 6’ tall guy. He was very short for the times.

Luke 19 was not sanitized correctly when Zacchaeus had to climb a tree because Jesus was “small of stature”.

He was passing through Jericho, 2and behold, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich, 3and he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is, and was not able for the multitude, because he was small in stature

Why? There’s zero archaeological evidence to support that, right? Legitimately curious.

Yep. Nothing in the Egyptian record either.

And how does anyone spend that much time in Egypt and never once mention these big arse pyramids?
