some mistakes of Moses; a book review

[Bob Watson]

I recently found a copy of Robert ingersol's "Some Mistakes of Moses" the Book is now published by Prometheus Books. The title is over 100 years old. first witten in 1879. While most books of the era are dry reading this book is a delight to read. Ingersol takes on the first 5 books of the Bible and useing common sense and logic shows as he puts it "Moses Must have Been Mistaken." from the Garden of Eden to the exdous and beyond Ingersol looks with a skeptical eye and shows why the account simply can not be true. this Book is a tresure and deserves to be on every ones shelf Belever and non belever alike. My copy sits next to my great grandma's Bible. Simply put this Book is a must read and a must own! it is hard to get so finding a copy may be difficult! But well worth the effort to find!

It is entirely laughable to see people taking lies and building upon those lies a structure they BELIEVE and will defend in the face of all evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately it is not really very funny when you look at the societal situation on the Holy Land (and all those holes from all those wars). A key part of what needs to be said on the TV or in the schools is what Lord Renfrew has said about history being fiction now proven as such by science. Rick Gore is not as acclaimed as Lord Renfrew (Disney Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge in London) but in writing for National Geographic and quoting all so many sources he said anyone "writing about this era, is writing fiction'. That era is the era of Moses/Akhenaton. Here are the words of Lord Renfrew, read it carefully and think about all of the Laws of Moses we still are fool-owing. Both Muslim and Christians or Jews - all fool-owe this history made by and for EMPIRE!

"Archaeologists all over the world have realized that much of prehistory, as written in the existing textbooks, is inadequate. Some is quite simply wrong. What has come as a considerable shock, a development hardly foreseeable just a few years ago, is that prehistory, as we have learnt it is based upon several assumptions which can no longer be accepted as valid.."

Yes, Ingersoll knew something fishy was rotten in places beyond Denmark.

When the Egypt Exploration Fund was created they had memoranda and articles of incorporation that directed the funding for site excavations which showed promise of being outside the Bible Narrative - should not be researched! This troublesome kind of bias is beyond reproach because sites like Memphis have been built over and for all intents and purposes destroyed. In the efforts of people like Schliemann (Troy) and Evans (Crete) to uncover their dreams that led from the 'myths' of Homer they also confused and made horrible mistakes that allow debunking science to discredit artifacts that would have proven valuable. There are so many examples of actual government destruction of artifacts and people's careers that it is hard to pick one single example.

Despite the negative aspects of archaeology illustrated in the Kensington Rune Stone response of Mr. Wiseman; there is a very real possibility that the truth will become realized in sufficient degree for good people to regain their freedom. W. F. Albright is considered the 'father of Biblical Archaeology' by the Biblical Archaeology Review. His admission and awareness that the Phoenicians are the major creators of the Bible in the 50s and 60s has not reached the public or even the academics at large. In time and with a great deal of outside detective work it seems some of us are able to paint a new picture of history, due in large part to the effort of archaeologists even if they don't know the meaning behind the things they uncover.

“The process that we describe here is, in fact, the opposite of what we have in the Bible: the emergence of early Israel was an outcome of the collapse of the Canaanite culture, not its cause. And most of the Israelites did not come from outside Canaan – they emerged from within it. There was no mass Exodus from Egypt. There was no violent conquest of Canaan. Most of the people who formed early Israel were local people – the same people whom we see in the highlands throughout the Bronze and Iron Ages. The early Israelites were – irony of ironies – themselves originally Canaanites!" [1] Finkelstein & Silberman The Bible Unearthed, 118

In 1982's December issue of the National Geographic they were still promoting 'The People's of the Sea' theory that Gasten Maspero (a French historian of the 19th century) created from very little factual data. This issue dealt with the 'digs' at Deir el-Balah in the Gaza strip! Moshe Dayan (The Israeli Defense Minister) was a purchaser and assembler of some of the artifacts that look very ethnically diverse. The site was admittedly cosmopolitan and had been used by many different cultures as well as some key figures from history. Here is a quote from the inset to an artists' rendition.


"Life's pleasures enhance palace life at Deir el-Balah {Remember Ba'al the Phoenician god is also Bel in Keltic clandoms.} in an artist's rendition. In the Amarna tomb relief that served as his model, Queen Nefertiti decants wine through a strainer for Akhenaten, using vessels similar to a bronze set found at the Gaza site. Floor plan of partially excavated buildings at level 6, under the archaeologists' grid, suggests a layout similar to palaces built in Egypt during Akhenaten's rule." (6)
