I have listened to the but this came from Ancient Warfare History. They were going in depth into how they don't know really what happened but the archeological stuff backs up x,y, and z. They bring up even how super weapons are being deployed on the battlefield, mentioned on e or twice, and then never mentioned again.

He had a bunch of great cities named after him, like Alexandria, LA for example. His deeds must have been epic for that.

Compared to what we know and how we know it about ancient history, the bulk of the historical books of the Old Testament hold up very well. The New Testament is exceedingly well documented.
Biblical scholars absolutely do follow the same methodologies as other historians.

All we really know about him is the Aristotle connection and the fact that he was a proud black man.

Yet another king scooped up and bleached by white Europeans as one of their own.

Peter & Paul got to pick out what they favored and what they didn't like, as well as what would go over with the masses and the leaders.

The Egyptian history is way off I feel.
The age of ancient man goes back a lot more I believe.

That's because white Europeans don't want to admit that blacks ruled the world and gave them science, technology, and modern civilization.

The age of the ancient black man goes back quite some time. The whites and Jews didn't come out of the trees until recently to derail and sabotage human endeavors.

Hopefully in 2000 years our history is embellished because most of what passes as intellectual discourse today is bullshite.
There superstitious fools thought they could control the climate- hahahahahahahaha

The Jewish bondage in Egypt was the last thing holding human progress together. Upon their escape, civilization's trajectory nosedived

I tend to believe that as well. It seems there's a new study every year that pushes the modern human timeline back.
How many great civilizations rose and fell prior to our recorded history that we will never know about?

The upper kingdom of Egypt is to blame for this. The lower kingdom (full of proud Nubian elites) was the powerhouse of the entire state, but now we're supposed to think Charlton Heston founded the known world.

I often wonder what percentage of generally accepted ancient history is just embellished bullshite.
100% of what you saw on the news YESTERDAY was embellished bullshite. Imagine what kind of bullshite can be spewed after thousands of years of embellishment.

Geologists date the sphinx 40000 years older than historians.
40 thousand. Humanity should have been in its infant stages then. But that doesn't add up with the fact that the sphinx erosion isn't due to wind. It's due to water.

I was very surprised when analysis of Richard III's bones indicated that he really did die the way history recorded it, and in the location he was supposedly buried, and that he really did have scoliosis, plus many more such.
