I am phoenician origin from Ireland 🇮🇪 they came to Ireland Western and Southern shores for tin to trade with the Egyptians to make bronze, hence the British Isles ment the tin Isles. In 1613 bc huge volcano in Santorini Greece caused many to migrate to Ireland, coasts of Cornwall in England and Scotland as they already had the best boats.

In this Lecture, I discussed first the Civilization of the Phoenicians and how they influenced maritime trade, famous for their dye, founding of Carthage, and most important their Phoenician language. I also discussed the history of the Israelites (early history of the Jewish People) originating from the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible), and this lecture also covers up to the United Kingdom of Israel and its subsequent split. I will next be lecturing next week on the origins and background of the Persian Empire. Let me know if you have any questions, comments about this Lecture. Thanks!

You really need to look into the Egyptian cursive form of Hieroglyphs called Hieratic, it's phonetic and has 22 letters in it's alphabet, and is the mother alphabet of Phoenician and Hebrew. It's the script Moses was taught. And that was before the Phoenicians.

Could David have been of Phoenician descent? I've theories that Abraham is of a different descent than David. Especially that Solomon does a lot of business with Phoenicians. Im not sure why there is a purity quotient for who Israelites are. Hebrews seem to be a different people than who David emerges out of. Not sure why this is so difficult to argue when there is more proof that this is true and missing evidence if we just focus in finding evidence of the contrary.

The 10 plagues were caused from Mount Thera erupting the ash Fallout affected Lower Egypt and causex a series of natural disasters it's also why the Phoenicians fled what became known as the Phoenicians was really the Minoans an offshoot of Minoans..

Great job Profe, on Manetho's Aegyptiaca might be light on why Moses was kicked out, do you cover egiptian history? Looks like Jacob was a Hyksos.

Agenor would be Canaan. Phoenix and Cadmus are his sons I think… or descendants?

[maggieadams]

I heard somewhere that the name Yahweh, means the name that can not be named, nor it seems pronounced. The namelessness I find is the only word for what it represents.

Also you forgot . The 400 years and the 500 years in egypt was a merging process . The israelites were shepards and herdsmen and were automatically placed in the lower castes so thier life was lower . Moses (the scribe ) tut (thoth) moses ie thuthmoses was in the storys rasied in a different position as scribe (a higher caste) joespeh alsp experienced this ... First he was in the lower caste i til he displayed his prowess at management he was also a scribe .. so when he was elevated the wife was not happy as it was not normal to jump castes ... Later after interpreting the dream of rhe pharoah he was elevated to the ruling caste .. as a pharoah / high preist .. he was the first to take rhe israelites out of egypt (but not quite as the pharoah gave them land in the delta ) and joseph bullt the first temple and became a high preist of the god "On" ie El yOn the god most high ... All documented in the book of jasher ... We can go further back into the book of enoch where god os referred to as the all .. the king of the angels and lord of all deitys .. the creator of all the worlds .. the breath (and spirit) ... As the first thing in creation was breath (wind) (spirit)... Also the phonexian god . Im not sure but i think your an apologist ! And non. Genuine ! As you have focussed on some sunday school storys badly !!!! We today have pissible evidences for whom some.of these people were and thier cultures ans how they discovered and came to these conclusions about existance which today peole are still fighting over ! ... Scientifically and archeologicaly we can determine that untouched pgymy cultures today may only have fire worship or sun and moon worship. But the creation of many gods for each aspect of life and death as well as famous people deifed .. we can see the developemt of culture comes from langauges and concepts of the periods .. hence from elyon to el shaddai to jehovah etc ... Even to allah ... In truth theu have no plaves as we begin to undestand that its natural developmemt of humanity . In a final civilisations there will actually only be scientific and ethical . As tou will find this os the only universal constants (ethical constructs develop)
