History of Ancient Israel and Judah explained in 5 minutes

OK...Early on I say "according to Genesis" which most people will recognize this as Biblical, when referencing the migration out of Egypt and the conquest of Cannan. The basic facts stated in this video from Assyrian, Seleucid and Roman periods are common

The earlier Periods use the book of Judges, Kings and Chronicles as primary sources...So, if you have a problem with that...well I feel sorry you are offended so easily...I think based on the evidence this is the most likely course of events to have taken place....Interesting Mesopotamian kings lists with way less detail (also including mythical aspects) are accepted without question.


In my Roman video, I reference the early Roman mythical kings who were probably based on real figures and in the China video I reference the state of Xia because again these basic facts are usually loosely based on real events (ie Longshan culture)


I think logically looking at the Old Testament account the more macro the facts stated the larger the likelihood of that event having taken place, that is why I did not include more of the micro-narratives during this period as those are less likely to be varifible at any point by an outside source


Whether you believe this narrative you can either enjoy it and study it more...or you can cry about it.
