A Mix of People
© Copyright 2012 M7
The Ancient Hebrews were not original in their choice of
religion. But, see this through their eyes. Each person of the Hebrew People was one of
each mother land and combined together into a cosmopolitan whole. The Hebrews may have been slaves, in which case
their overlords conquered many lands and this mix of people became them.
Their histories are a composite, not a direct one. The Great Flood was found in Babylon as the
Epic of Gilgamesh, because some Hebrews were from there. The Exodus was the story of Pharaoh Ahmose I
who expelled the Hyksos from the Nile Delta near Sinai’s Red Sea (Sea of
Reeds). The Nation of Israel existed during
the reign of Thutmose 3, a later successor of Ahmose. The conquest of Thutmose 3 included an idea similar
to the Trojan Horse whereby baskets of food carried Egyptian soldiers inside
the enemy camp. History is never
original if it is a composite. The
Hebrew Bible is not a direct source but a mix of ideas; if the Hebrews believed
this came from a god, it was the God of the World for their people came from
all over the world. So their God is
everyone’s God, as gods have countless names, theirs has no one name.
America therefore is the Promised Land of this cosmopolitan
religion. For America is a composite of
every nation on Earth, with many individual histories knitted together like a
quilt.
