MAY THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SET YOU FREE! Theres an article that was written in The USA TODAY, dated November 3, 1999 p.11 D, entitled, Archaeologist Tries To Rip Out Jewish Historys Biblical Roots, proving that most of the events and famous personages described in the Bible never happened nor existed. In the article, Zeev Herzog, a professor at Tel Aviv University, argues that the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt probably never happened, the Ten Commandments were not given on Mount Sinai, and Joshua never conquered the land of Israel. Herzog says that if the was a King David, he probably was no more than a tribal chieftain. The same holds true for King Solomon. The many Egyptian documents known to us do not make any reference to the sojourn of the Children of Israel in Egypt or the events of the Exodus. He said, Generations of scholars tried to locate Mount Sinai and the stations of the tribes of Israel in the desert. Despite all of this diligent research, not one site was identified that could correspond to the Biblical picture. Later, in the same article they found a scholar who disputes what Professor Herzog said. Here is what Adam Zertal, archaeologist at the University of Haifa, who has dedicated his life to mapping out the Biblical episodes in Samaria, including the entry of Joshua into the Holy land had to say. He said, We found almost certain proof that the story of the entry into Israel is very believable. The relevant materials are in the field. We only have to find them. So, which is it? Either he found the relevant materials or he didnt? From his statement, it is clear he hasnt found them yet. Even the Bible says in Galatians 4:22-24, the story of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is an allegory, which means its symbolic of something else – Olatunji Mwanba.
