I really dislike how Westerners use cultural appropriation term: people respectably dressing up in other nations clothing or adapting stories to fit local style isn't appropriation. Americans saying "we're the ones who invented pizza" is.

@mikesmovingimages Star Wars religion is a mix of Methodist Christianity that George Lucas grew up with and Mahayana Buddhism he was interested in. Force ghosts are similar to bodhisattvas, and Jedi orders are warrior monks, yet Anakin is saved right on his deathbed, which is the penitent thief story. Luke refusing to answer evil with evil (so he doesn't fall to Dark Side) is also a Christian teaching, and resisting temptation is both.

Santa Claus was literally a dude named Nicholas.

@jonathonjubb6626 we have literally Paul's letters, it's funny you decided to claim one of the few actually confirmed authors wasn't real... Why not go further, let's say Buddha, LaVey and Aalewis never existed.

I actually unironically subscribe to the Emerald city concept of God: they reveals themselves in the form that's accessible to humans. Different for everyone.

@unabortable5695 didn't shroud of Turin get radiocarbon dated to Renaissance? It's a shame Catholics fixate on relics so much bcause the Shroud is amazing as both earliest photography attempt, and as a genuine Christian art. It doesn't NEED to be a real funeral shroud to be glorifying Jesus, being an art object is good too.
2
@unabortable5695 "In 1988, radiocarbon dating by three independent laboratories established that the shroud dates back to the Middle Ages, between the years 1260 and 1390"

Many Greek Catholics are in Ukraine too, and Uniate church in Belarus, which dates back to awkward period of Latin kingdom in Constantinople.

@highpath4776 IMO the gossiping women problem is an ever-present thing in every church, to this day, at least in Orthodox churches, more grandmas alienated young people from ever going into one than anything else. They're absolutely insufferable! What he didn't know is people complaining about old ladies having nothing to do but berate everyone over how they look, how they stand and how they breathe will be taken as a general directive to treat ALL women exactly the way we were treated in Rome, or worse, Greece.
2
This. It's ridiculous to expect people discussing their base beliefs in correspondence outside of a bad telenovella. You know, like when a show on TV has this awkward exposition: "Hello Timothy, my cousin on maternal's side in-law, as you remember how our teacher we went to school together in 42 AD said, back when you were living in Haifa with the missus... of course we are all members of the chess club as you surely know, which stands for unity, loyalty and cookies as stated in our motto written on the back cover of the brochure, anyway, how's your sister named Cassandra that I used to date in college we went to with Jacob doing?"

Akhenaten's "heresy" is an EXTREMELY important event in Egyptian history, they didn't just "not record it on stone", they went out of their way to erase all mentions of him. Damnatio memoriae.
2
@annepoitrineau5650 Yeah, people should stop taking ancient numbers literally, not only methodology is always questionable and hyperbole ruled the day, there's also multiple cultures using a a large numeral to mean "a lot", good example is Japanese Banzai, it means "10 000 years", but the meaning is "long live the Emperor". So "millions", "myriads" and other "aeons" often really just meant "a f&$kton".
2
He converted to Judaism. But the date conventions have nothing to do with people's religion. There's plenty of non-Christians who use CE and plenty of Christians who use AD, it's irrelevant.

Is that like memes with separate bottom text?

We do have depictions of SOME figures mentioned in the Bible dating to their time, mostly kings... But true, images are always artistic.

@charlesbrowne9590 whut?! Torture chambers?.. My country had those ran by KGB and they threw priests, nuns and religious activists there because they were dangerous to the atheist state. Almost as if Entire Europe isn't ran by the Spanish Inquisition. Not to mention most people those hurt were actually believing in religion just "wrong way", i.e. forcibly converted Jews.
1
@StanTorrent irrelevant, almost no kings wrote their decrees personally, and definitely not in stone, scribes and carvers were a thing. Most people were illiterate until 20th century and in some backwards countries like USA, many still are.

15k+ years ago neither Jerusalem nor atheism existed.
1
@zigadabooga no, I am limiting atheist time to atheism actually existing.))) Or you think people who made Venus statues and idols with lion heads were somehow euphoric?
1
@zigadabooga Why are atheists always so confidently incorrect? Hinduism isn't even the oldest religion in India, Vedic religion predates it by millenia. Both are still newer than Pyramids. But organized religion obviously predates Jerusalem, Karahan Tepe is a religious site from more than 12k years ago, and people made idol figurines tens of thousands of years before them.

@proverbalizer in what universe Iset having sex with Osiris is "virgin birth"? This "theory" was popularized by a conspiracy movie Zeitgeist that also says 911 was an I side job and nobody went to the Moon, they do very bad mistakes in Egyptian mythology like claiming that Horus was resurrected and had 12 disciples, which isn't in any Egyptian source at all.
1
@qasdrf it's YouTube videos, what else could we expect? Even if doing decent research, any author will color the end result with personal touch. I noticed that modern Judaist position is often so vitriolic to Christianity, they are willing to attack their own credibility AND religion if Christians have a chance to be caught in the crossfire. It's actually perfectly summarized by conflicts between Jesus and Pharisees, which were BOTH the sect closest to Christians AND served as basis of modern Judaism as Sadducees, Zealots and Essenes dispersed after Jerusalem's destruction... yet, decided to rat out the more popular teaching to the occupying force.
1
15:34 This is a rather strange statement, do unbiased sources on any pharaoh, or someone like Socrates, exist? Obviosuly in this case, some are sympathetic (like Torah), others are critical (i.e. Manetho), and everybody has their bias. Like many people know Caesar from Asterix comics, and he's the bad guy there, but of you watched the movie Cleopatra first, suddenly he's not that bad. Ofc any Roman account will be super biased by default. I feel it's another "no prophet in his own country" thing.
1
@TheJulietteCharlie People who say they only believe in what they have seen, or what they have proof of, are lying. I can prove that by watching them for one (1) day of their lives. See, most people are buying food and believing that shop isn't poisoning them. Everyone trusts government regulations ENOUGH to buy retail items. You believe money as legal tender without seeing the gold vaults it USED TO be backed up... fiat currency exists PURELY on faith in it. Edgy people making exceptions about needing religion to be proven while blindly trusting expiry dates and ingredients on packages are hilarious. (I am not saying shops lie to you just pointing out that SOMEHOW people put MORE faith in government, which doesn't deserve it, than religion).

Eastern part of our country was mostly populated by steppe tribes and didn't have major cities until very recently, Donetsk, for example, was founded by John Huges, from Wales, in ripe old year of 1869. The other big city, Luhansk, dates to at least 1790s and was founded by Charles Gascoigne, also a Brit. Now, southern cities had Greek, Roman, Genoan, Ottoman and even Lithuanian control, and Kyiv absolutely should be done like that, it's one of three main Holy Cities for Orthodox Christians, along with Constantinople and Jerusalem.... But also, Western part has even more fascinating history of sides changing, even within one lifetime, here's a classic joke.: "A man stands in front of Heaven's Gate. Saint Peter asks 'Where were you born?' The man thinks for a moment and says 'Austria-Hungary, Lemberg.' 'Where did you go to school?' 'Poland, Lwow.' 'Where were you married?' 'The Ukrainian S.S.R., Lviv.' Surprised, Saint Peter asks 'Where was your first child born?' 'In the German Reich.' 'And where did you die?' 'At home in Lvov, in the Soviet Union.' Astonished, Saint Peter shouts 'My, you moved around a lot!' 'What are you talking about? I never left the city!'"
1
It's kind of the deal with Holy Cities, you of course have Rome, then Istanbul/Constantinople/Byzantium that a lot of people are pining for, notably Latins, Slavs, Turks and Greeks all see it as important as the second Rome, and there's Kyiv, control of which is the next best thing to proclaim yourself a successor to Romei. These are the big ones in Christianity.

@juhabach4802 you missed the whole Aalewis as the prophet of atheism, without whose non-professional quote making skills they won't be euphoric.

4:20 I know many people said that, but in addition to your view of one tribe (Levi) having a smaller Exodus, the story can be an allegory to ganging autonomy/independence from Egypt, kind of like countries breaking up from USSR see it as their own little Exodus... BUT, there's also Amarna letters showing that despite de jure control of Canaan by Egypt, central govt. didn't send reinforcements as the Levant was invaded exactly at the time pharaoh Amenkhotep the IIIrd changed his name to Akhenaten and got his stint with isolationism and monotheism in a new capital he sent everyone building... So these stories are ABSOLUTELY related, and we need to dig more into what happened around that period. Especially knowing how hard Egypt tried to censor the whole Aten stuff. There's many similar motifs and Egyptian loss of control over its colonies in the Levant (even if they regained it) IS part of history. AND in addition to things happening around Amarna period, there's Hyksos invasion, Merneptah Stele, and numerous intermediate periods during which Egypt lost control of itself, let alone faraway provinces on another continent. At this point it seems like heavily romanticized version of Canaanites gaining independence from Egypt and fighting over those who wanted 1) to "return" being a vassal 2) to bring back polytheism (golden calf story). 40 years also seem to be symbolic, as in just explaining period of uncertainty and that only AFTER the generation born in Soviet Uni–Egypt passed on, true freedom could be established. People are arguing about myth vs history, completely ignoring the most obvious option of it being a parable loosely describing real events in allegorical terms. And Bible is FULL of parables and allegories, from the poor man with a single lamb to the prodigal son.
1
19:50 If you combine Saladin and Fatimids with pharaohic Egypt (same country) they would be a good contender to at least top 5 and pretty sure paganism would have more years if we manage to count between city founding and rise of monotheism, but still pretty splendid work!
1
To answer to your final question, Ukraine should control Jerusalem. Not only Zelenskyy is the only Jewish leader who has the distinction of not being Netanyahu, but also because WE DO NOT EVEN WANT IT, we're just the only adults with sizable army on the planet. Alternative is Syria. Yes, the current govt. that deposed Assad, we need to help them against Netanyahu to reclaim MORE than just Golan heights.

9:30 Chiton (tunic) made from whole garments and himation (mantle) with tassels are mentioned multiple times in Gospels. The translations decide to not use complex words so the bleeding woman is touching the fringe of Jesus garment, but original text mentions tassels on himation.

@robocop4209 according to reality, Egypt didn't start in Canaan, native people already lived there before Egyptians arrived.

BDS era. Before Dim Sum.
1
Yeah I don't see how starting with Mark, which goes in Medias Res, would be good for a compilation.
1
Egypt, specifically, is FAMOUS for rarely having full control of its territories, intermediate periods and all, and even did an 180 when Ali Pasha got them an autonomy inside Ottoman Empire. Also, nailing Exodus to any specific period is ridiculous, why not set it before intermediate period or when Canaan was effectively left to its own devices during Akhenaten's reign?
1
 @countofdownable Septuagint is just a translation and it has largely same text as other Old Testament/ Hebrew Bible, and it doesn't mention years in earliest chapters outside of lifespans.
1
@DanielGolding1337 Egyptians assumed almost direct control of Egypt in early 1800s (Ali Pasha had no less autonomy from Ottomans than last of Ptolemies from Rome), and then they revolted in 1952 and since then at least two more times, so Egyptians not only fully control Egypt, but also overthrow the government on regular basis if they don't like it, so they ABSOLUTELY have more control over their country than, say, murricans.

 @deborahdean8867 they also tried to stone Him for heresy like healing on Sabbath so we don't even know how observant Jesus was of other tradition.

Orthodox here. Canon Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books, his point of view is really important to understanding how ambition is pointless. SIRACH's "ecclesiastes", however, is... strange. So is Enoch. They read more like an occult thing.

@NoCommentForAWhile how so? I think it's more fun researching works and philosophies used as inspiration for media.

Ironically, it was atheists who participated in biggest purge of Orthodox Christianity in history, from 1917 to 1991, but by that time the biggest church (moscow patriarchate) had ALL clergy of high rank working for KGB, officially... when Constantinople patriarch (Orhtodox Pope with less power) gave us Tomos and recognized the newly-unified Kyiv Metropoly as legitimate, in the ancient year of 2018, one of the conditions was to depose Filaret, the Kyiv Patriarch, and elect a new guy. Epiphanius won the elections. He studied in seminary AFTER the USSR's collapse (dude finished school in 1990s), so our current leader has no ties to KGB (now FSB), which still leads the russian church with agent Mikhailov working as patriarch Kirill Gundiayev (they literally bless missiles and ish).

Seth's animal is unknown actually, could be donkey could be aardvark for all we know. Egyptians also kinda assimilated and stopped following their religion around that time. THAT SAID, Seth WAS associated with foreigners, specifically semites, it didn't help Egypt leading god being sun deity and for Middle Easterners and Greeks, a storm one.
1
If you look at footage from Syria, Israel or Palestine (most of which is reused Syrian footage), you can see people there are extremely diverse, and picturing entire Middle East looking the same is a Western stereotype. Reality is, we didn't know. And it doesn't matter.
1
@tomhalla426 ...no? Japan is a very homogeneous country, Middle East is the world's melting pot region with more than a dozen countries. It's more like saying someone "looks American"... Which tells you nothing.
1
@ for example, both Scarlett Johannson and Salma Hayek have Middle-Eastern ancestry. Do they look anything alike? Aside from being hot.
1
Really great video, one thing, we can probably reasonably assume there were a few centuries of paganism at the start before formation of Judaism, it's just impossible to count right now since there isn't concrete information at what year the house of David started. If you can, please make one like this about Kyiv, second Holy City in Orthodoxy, and possibly Odesa and Lviv. Which changed owners a lot in Eastern Europe. Just count Soviets separately from ru empire because those were mortal enemies.
1
@hisbeaconlight yes, doctors were required to read and write because they needed to understand recipes. That's how it worked in ancient Egypt too.
1
@samf8777 specifically, the Merneptah stele says "Israel is laid waste—its seed is no more;" which of course implies it was a known state that already existed for significant time. So when people mention it as first foreign historical record of it, they need to include the context that it (falsely) claims its total destruction. Without this context people can assume it mentions its emergence.

@Naxskyz I'm Ukrainian, our Bibles were translated directly from Hebrew and Koine for NT, not from King James version.

@mercy8370 Old Testament doesn't work in Christianity, that's correct. Look, quoting Judaist Bible at Christians is as much as a gotcha by quoting Roman empire laws to call out modern Italy.)))

@BrunoVelius they can run modern, more sophisticated tests, but Catholic church refuses because they love to peddle their relics... Which is a shame, as a work of religious art it's much more interesting than as a legend.

14:38 I legit couldn't remember WHAT book is translated to English as Lamentations until you mentioned it's actually Jeremiah, as we only known it as Плач Єремії. Which also served as the game of a rock band so it's kind of a phrase that's ingrained into our heads.
1
Isn't this how families in Mexico work anyway? You scream Maria and half the heads look around... In Arab countries you have so many Muhammads, they go by middle name, i.e. you can see Md Ahmad al-Nusri, it means the first name Muhammad but everyone calls him just Ahmad.

 @ToutCQJM irrelevant. Lord of the Rings never happened, but Tolkien himself supported the applicability of situations to real life.

@missyw2088 this is one of those things where priests absolutely went ape-t and decided to combine AT LEAST THREE different characters (Mary of Bethany, Mary of Magdala and "sinful woman" from Luke) into one, AND assume she's a s3x worker. (Because no way a woman could have sinned by, say, being a thief or something)... All three are associated with anointing, but under VASTLY different circumstances. Mary the sister of Martha washed Jesus feet (common courtesy at the time tho she went a few steps further) when they all were at Lazarus place in Bethany, and her sister Martha was chastising her for lazying about instead of doing chores, which Jesus cut short by saying that her service in listening is not lesser... That's in Luke. In John, however, she used oils to anoint Jesus feet and it was Judas Iscariot who complained that they could have sold the perfume and gave the money to the poor, with a footnote that he didn't care for them, but was a thief and often stuck his hand in the cookie jar. Matthew and Mark have the anointing AND complaining, but without naming Mary OR Judas. Their stories sound second hand retold while John's sounds more private. The unnamed woman sometimes associated with her was at a party hosted by a Pharisee named Simon, he was chastising Jesus for not having a predjustice against her... It is NOT specified why she was considered "sinful", monks just can't take their minds out of the gutter. She also washed Jesus feet and anointed Him, and Pharisee got roasted with parables of the guy getting the bigger debt forgiven loving the debtor more than the one who got less written off. ^ these stories are different but thematically very similar, accepting an assertive woman who doesn't take the traditional role, getting chastized by onlookers, and the anointing of head or feet, usually with nard perfume. Technically, it could be all the same woman, but it's simpler to assume separate characters in narrative. We don't have the sources synoptic Gospels used. Magdalene, however, is described as a sponsor who traveled with them basically, so she was definitely well off, and she DIDN'T KNOW Jesus was already anointed, so she went with other women to carry myrrh to the tomb, and found it empty. If she was EITHER of previous women, she wouldn't have tried to do that. Narratively speaking, she would be there to hear "she anointed me for my burial". Anointing is a huge symbolic point as it's required for high priests and the King, that's why it's in all four gospels, though Mary of Bethany does it in one, unnamed woman in others, and Magdalene in none.

@sexydirrtymoney average lifespan is calculated with the fact that 50% of kids died before they reached 3 years old, so easily divided by half the age healthy people lived to IF they survived infancy.
1
And Armenia Jesus has bigger nose, Ethiopian Jesus has darker skin and Japanese Jesus has slanted eyes, it's a normal thing. @Emoji_Smiles Yes, Judaea would be renamed Palestine a century later,.after Romans squashed Jewish revolts.
1
Eh... Egypt didn't always have full control of their faraway places, especially in Canaan, and depending on period they could be almost fully autonomous. In fact, a story of "escaping Egypt" kind fits as allegory to throwing down the imperial control, you know, fight for independence. Egypt collapsed so many times, any nation that suddenly had pharaoh's tax collectors not show up had their own little exodus.
1
2:20 Nah, Matthew is at the start because it actually starts from the beginning instead of in medias res of Mark.
1
@smpark12 I want to add that Jesus brothers also could be either: Maria and Joseph's later kids, his kids from previous marriage, OR cousins. It's not clear in any point, but it's assumed he mentioned the same Jesus brothers from the Gospels, whatever familial relationship they had.
1
2:04 looks the same as modern Orhodox icons. They really follow the compromise bewteen icon painters and iconoclasts that only symbolic, stylized images are to be made so the depiction hasn't changed since. That's how non-westerners imagine Jesus, in general.
1
It's the same with Ethiopian, Armenian or Japanese depictions of Jesus. And it makes sense, of course the image should be relatable. Catholic Jesus looks like Italian man and Orthodox lime a Greek. Only Americans made a redneck.
1
9:24 Mary of Magdala and Mary of Bethany are clearly women from two different towns, look at the map, Magdala, where Magdalene comes from, is on the sea of Galilee shore, near Golan Heights in Syria, while Bethany is in West Bank, right outside of Jerusalem. Where Jesus visited Lazarus and Simon the Leper (not to be confused with the Pharisee). Magdalene was their high-ranking follower and sponsor, according to the very texts that name her. Her having a sister or brother isn't mentioned at all. They frequently get conflated with a third unnamed separate "sinful woman" because scholars for 1500 years couldn't tell apart Simon the Leper from Simon the Pharisee.
1
Interesting point, since there's no narrative of Paul not dying (like with Elijah or Enoch), what's the point not having the ending?

Out of ALL actually magical things in that story, the one you find most implausible is children being dropped? This literally still happens in real life.

We know that in late 16th and 17th centuries Japan they did exactly that, but also made Omi-E, foot icons for stepping on, to detect Christians. Curiously, a bunch of Kirishitani managed to worship in secret for 250 years of isolation, later assimilating into mainline churches. They had unique art and traditions. Soviet persecution was different in that they drew deliberately evil looking saints and Jesus as part of satire mags or movie decorations. Real icons were defaced en masse.

@voidvector literally here in Ukraine, we have MILLIONS of ВПО, "temporarily resettled people" whose homes are in Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk, plus smaller towns occupied after 2014 and 22, and in Syria, plenty of people fled to Jordan or Turkiye, but tons were living in Idlib until Aleppo, Damascus, and the rest of their country was freed a few months ago.

@SiqueScarface Galatians were a Celtic group of people frequently hired as mercenaries by Middle Eastern, Galatia they talk about is in Anatolia, but also there are MANY places with similar name (all sharing Celt-related etymology), like Galicia in BOTH Spain and Ukraine, with over 3000km between Vigo and Lvyv.

@Scrubermensch there's interpretation author of this channel subscribes to that the prophecies aren't specifically about future that will happen, but warnings of what MIGHT go if people stray from God, and they're often retellings of past disasters, i.e. decisive battles in Megiddo or Jerusalem getting sacked. I love to picture apocalyptic literature not as connected to one specific date and time, but as permanent reality that keeps going in cycles, and one prophecy might be applicable to multiple situations (both past and future). But on the other hand there's some stuff that only applies to one situation, I mean, how many places named after Wormwood had a disaster with the same reaction as on the stars (nuclear)? None of the places in Japan have fitting etymology.

Ukraine should control it. Because out of all Jewish world leaders, Zelenskyy is... not Netanyahu, which is objectively the best argument and nobody can deny it.

One of geneologies is speculated to be of Mary, as some Bible translations literally have male names with "gave birth to", and in this way, it's not Levi giving birth to Matthat, it's MRS Levi giving birth to either Matthat OR MRS Matthat. It's very confusing as women were often not in records at all, i.e. Solomon's son by Uriah's wife. Again, MRS Uriah. The poor guy David sent to war.

@KutWrite Dunno why you speak of titties but there's nothing clear, not only we have different line between David and Shealtiel and Zerubbabel, in Bible there's a long tradition of describing men begetting sons, and unless you have proof of mpreg, it's more likely they mentioned women. Conflict between writing down patrilineal heritage but kids obviously coming through matrilineal was very widespread in the region, and it led to 3000 years of pharaohs marrying their sisters (or brothers in case of Cleo) SO THEY DON'T HAVE TWO SEPARATE DYNASTIC TREES, and have one... family wreath. Since these two lines vary so much, and we don't have sources Either authors might have used, the two main views are that EITHER one of them describes Mary's lineage, OR that one follows legal and other biological lineage (i.e. ignoring the adoptions). But then in first option they need to be cousins, in English version of Sailor Moon sense, and in second it's complicated network of brothers dying childless. Genealogies are the most confusing part, and it doesn't help that nobody really cares so it doesn't get cleared up. Don't blame scholars: it took them 1500 years to notice that Bethany and Magdala aren't even in the same region. And not every Mary is the same and unnamed women aren't, in fact, all necessary another Mary (or the same Mary). Oy, it's like a Mexican Bat Mitzvah!

@ No idea why you speak of birds but there's nothing clear, not only we have different line between David and Shealtiel and Zerubbabel, in Bible there's a long tradition of describing men begetting sons, and unless you have proof of m-preg, it's far more likely they mean their missus (so Eve not Adam being heavy with a child). Conflict between writing down patrilineal heritage but kids obviously coming through matrilineal was very widespread in the region, and it led to 3000 years of pharaohs marrying their sisters (or brothers in case of Cleo) SO THEY DON'T HAVE TWO SEPARATE DYNASTIC TREES, and have one... family wreath.

11:28 Those are my favorite stories outside of Exodus. We also learned in school that authors before recent times loved to be anonymous, or put famous person into the title for credit, which was surprising for our 21st century minds when you want to copyright your work instead of ghost-writing for some legendary figure. Also the style in Song of Songs doesn't sound like it's written by an ultra-powerful king, more like someone who's sneaking away with a vizier's wife. Nice beauty standards too, saying this unironically, he likes her nose being Cleopatra-ish.

It somehow gets overlooked by many Christians too (saying this as a Christian myself), the sheer amount of priests who side with politicians who are against migrants is insane.

@Questionablexfun I think bloody John Williams was divinely inspired writing Duel of the Fates; and I hate prequels. I don't think people understand what INSPIRATION means, Divine Spark doesn't meant opening a direct portal to the Netherrealm and channeling secrets of another universe, it means what it says, a lighbulb moment with the Spirit guiding the people to create masterpieces. And as Ganntrey pointed out, when it comes to theological texts, it means staying within lines. Great example is compilers of the Genesis Creation story being INSPIRED to remove mentions a specific model of the world, unlike Babylonian account, which, by picturing flat Earth, completely discredits itself. I would say man made out of clay is also divine inspiration telling authors to describe the primordial muck in terms familiar to ancient people. As opposed to pagan religion having outright fantastical, instead of allegorical, creation myths of sun goddess belching them out from the Moon or something.

We are in a world war already over control of Kyiv, not Jerusalem. With North Korean and Chinese troops already in Europe, and some of our troops fighting in Africa, that America didn't join yet doesn't make it less of a world war since Americans are ALWAYS too late.

16:07 So one major differences, even if we apply SUPER-critical view on Bible, it still would have Cyrus the Great, Nebuchadnezzar II, multiple named pharahos mentioned elsewhere, cross-reference with Babylonian, Greek and Roman stuff, AND Hebrews themselves mentioned by other nations, i.e. Merneptah and Tel Dan steles, while Book of Mormon is pretty much what is known as a "forgery", i.e. a 19th century book claiming to be a Medieval poetry collection.

@MartinWenzelYT People forget that Magdalene literally means someone from Magdala. So Mary from Bethany and Mary from Magdala cannot be the same person because they're quite literally from different place. That's like saying Joan from Kentucky and Joan from Iowa are the same gal. Both towns still exist, Bethany is right outside of Jerusalem in West Bank and Magdala is on Sea of Galilee shores, near Golan Heights up north. Also Magdalene was one of the sponsors of the ministry, and Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha, was the one who anointed Jesus, which Magdalene didn't know since she brought oil to the tomb and found it empty. That part is significant because anointing is required for a high priest, which Messiah is supposed to be.

Netanyahu is using any religious or historical or whatever context to justify staying out of prison, it's a character problem.

Shame you bent your head for the Greek ultranationalists, it's funny that in antiquity, Macedonians were Schrodinger's Greeks: acknowledged as Hellenes when someone in Saloniki or Athens wanted to claim glory, but looked down upon in other cases as "barbaric". But now Alexander the Macedonian is their holy cow (he isn't called "the great" in other countries because there were MANY great Alexanders, this one is the Macedonian, as he was king of Macedon. Always).

4:44 Neither do many other languages, a cousin would be "двоюрідний брат" literally second-relation brother, and "двоюрідна сестра", a second-relation sister. On the other hand, English doesn't have words for "теща", "тість", "свекр", "зять", "золовка", "шурін", etc. they're all mother-father-sister-brother-whatever-in-law. In fact, there's a different term for a husband's MiL, "теща", and wife's MiL, "свекруха". This is like with colors, you have separate words for of pink, and magenta or purple and violet etc., but "синій" і "голубий" are both "blue".

@emilybarclay8831 we literally don't know who Cleo's mother was, and her statues were made in both Macedonian Greek (as a redhead even) and Egyptian style (in a black wig), as she took part in native rites like ceremonies installing the new holy cow the Buchis bull, and learned Egyptian language, so there's no way Cleopatra VII herself was a Greek supremacist, also I am not sure who would allow or disallow something since they spent most of the time feuding each other at that point, Cleo had her half-sister strangled by Romans in a triumph after beating her in a naval battle, and her brusband rebelled against her when he turned like 12.

We don't, we just believe in ancient stories. If you look at images of Ramses the 2nd and compare with his mummy, he looked nothing like that, and was a redhead. Dye job in his late years. We don't have Sasha's mummy.

 @Thezombiekiller06 Bible has tons of legends, Jesus literally spoke to disciples in parables, DO YOU REALLY THINK THE SOWER WAS REAL?

@russellmiles2861 lmao Jesus of Nazareth and Mohammad were historical figures, so was Gautama Buddha, and even Joseph Smith!

@reitrace that's CAPTAIN Bible, he actually exists and yup, that's his lame superpower. Maybe Master Bible is his teacher?

@fwcolb we don't know if John the Disciple, John the Evangelist, and John the Revelator were the same people. There was also John of Patmos who might be the latter. Or not. It's worse with Marias. Pretty clear that Mary of Bethany and Mary of Magdala are two different people, but Catholic church for no reason combined them both AND a third unnamed "sinful" woman into one character for a LONG time. But if you were on a Latino wedding, you'll understand.

You have a deranged lunatic playing golf try to annex Greenland just because and his idol from Valdai club invading every country he can because he likes to see colors on map changing but can't install Europa Universalis. They don't need religion, or history, or ANYTHING to justify imperialism. As to Canaanites, there were Baal worshipers who sacrificed children, that's pretty scary tbh.

"He prayed on Fridays with the Muslims, on Saturdays with the Jews and on Sundays with the Christians. 'Since each religion claims that it is the only true one and that the others are invalid', the king explained, 'I have decided to hedge my bets.'" –Ibn Rustah about some king. I am picturing Beni from the Mummy on a throne.

@nadashaker6037 the historical Philistines from Iron Age, specifically, are NOT native to Canaan, but one of sea peoples that came from Europe, Cyprus and the Balkans. The NAME is related, but only because or Romans being mean, in reality, locals have NOTHING to do with them, and are instead descendants of people who always lived there with some mix in. Speaking Arabic language doesn't make one native to Arabian peninsula, as people in North Africa and Levant both maintained their unique genetics despite the assimilation into Arabian culture.

I love Revelations because it's 1) Metal. 2) mentions a star called Chornobyl falling poisoning the rivers, author could have NO idea about stars having nuclear reactions in them. Or, you know, Ukrainian place names. Locals were called Scythians back then.

@david2804me Roman and Greek mythology originally existed independently before Romans and Greeks even learned of each other. People love to find patterns and similarities but often they're just that: Zeus and Jupiter aren't the same god, and nobody ripped off anybody as people who worshiped either didn't meet each other until later.
