Hellenist in a Handbasket: When Was It Written?

Today I will show some Mythvision episodes that describe what I have been studying in regards to the mistake of using the bible as a historical reference, and its much earlier origin with the Hellenistic Jews. I will also apply reason as I argue against the claims presented by Ammon last week. Not that it's not written, but by who and for what purpose. All signs are pointing to a cloaked Saturn Death cult wearing the garb of an alleged Benevolent trio of Abrahamic religions. Why do I emphasize this? Because the same group who have inverted the history of Germanic people and WWII have duped people through the fear of death to follow, and support their efforts to bring about the conditions of a human extinction, save the chosen, of course. We need to snap out of it before it's too late.

Now let's get into a couple things. It's going to be a long one, but yeah. For sure. For sure. Polka. It's one of the best songs I've ever made. Okay, when you catch that, when you're driving, it's awesome. Driving on a long trip. He's like yeah, it's great. Alright. So let's get started. There's a couple things that Josh had posted on his sub stack. Oh and by the way everyone, I don't know, I've never heard of him until he got shot, but apparently he was popular. Rest in peace, Fulio, who apparently was a rapper and I guess he was he playing off the name, Fulio? I have, Giulio, Fulio, I have no freaking clue, but he was kind of a violent dude and he got killed on his birthday in Halliday and or something like that. It's all over rumble of all places, but yeah. I'm sure we're all very sad. So let's move on. Let's have a moment for that and then we'll move on. Gangster's doing gangster shit. It's all it is. Let's go to this one first. I think this is interesting. We're going to listen to the Jim Jordan I think his name is. So this happened I guess June 14th, which would be my dad's birthday. It's also flag day. I can't imagine why they picked that day to do some shit like this, but it gets ridiculous after a while. Alright, let's hit player. ATF agents in full SWAT gear approached the front door. They had a piece of tape ready to cover the camera lens of the doorbell camera, which they did. Next, Mr. Malinowski heard only a loud crash as your front door caved in. This Brian Malinowski story is wild and it makes me feel like maybe the ATF is the bad guy. Check this out. Our husband Brian woke up. Maybe the ATF is the bad guy? Okay, buddy. Alright, catch up to the rest of the world. To the sound of the crash, found a pistol, loaded a magazine and left the bedroom to investigate. Brian warned his wife to stay behind in the bedroom, but Mayor stubbornly followed him down the hallway. The ATF apparently killed electricity to the home. The front room was usually well lit at night. But Mrs. Malinowski saw only darkness as she peered down towards the front entryway. She could only see shadowy outlines of presumed home invaders standing in her front hallway. That's what Brian saw too. Brian fired a few shots at the intruder's feet to drive them back out of the front door. The ATF shot Brian in the head. His wife was standing inches away from him. A mere 57 seconds. 57 seconds he lapsed from the time agents covered the doorbell camera until gun shots erupted and Brian was fatally wounded. 602 46 to 603 43. This immediately dragged Mrs. Malinowski into the front yard. She was barefoot, wearing minimal night clothing and the temperature was 34 degrees. They locked her in the back seat of a car and detained her there for four hours, refusing her many requests to check on her husband. Wouldn't allow her to get close or even use the neighbor's bathroom. Even though policies have been in place at both the ATF and the Little Rock Police Department for the last three years were coming here, approached the front door. Husband wouldn't allow her to get close or even use the neighbor's bathroom. Even though policies have been in place at both the ATF and the Little Rock Police Department for the past three years requiring the use of body worn cameras when executing any search warrant, the Department of Justice tells us that nobody cameras were used. Of course not. This isn't the weaponization of government. I don't know what is. Okay, so there's that and then this is pretty much the transcript here at the bottom. But this is from Josh who news and you'll find that on this is his sub stack. This is Josh who created JoshuTV. He's actually works with a speak free video, which is awesome. Awesome. Good friend of mine, known him for a long time. And I was one of the early signers on and users of his awesome website, JoshuTV.com. For as long as it survived, which was seven years, it was a great, great place. As the video player I've ever seen on any website or video sharing. And he did all that himself. So anyway, by the way, speak free video. Good morning, everybody out there. I want to remind everybody that you can always go to moneytreepublishing.com and check out what they have to offer there. There's a bunch of books, DVDs, blue rays, and information to help educate yourself, wake people up, including maybe educating yourself and stuff like that. But the sharing of the information is what matters. And you'll find it there. If you use code B-A-A-L, you'll get what I believe is a 10% discount as well. Okay. And also there's ways to speak free radio and moneytreepublishing.com to support your favorite hosts. And that's what keeps us alive. All right. There you go. Let's see what is the next one. Okay. So this one's a little bit longer, but it's a, I guess it's important. Let's go with it. It's important. Let's just say that. I might speed it along because it's like, it's a guy dressed in a costume, right? And he's also, I think, being dubbed over with somebody else's voice because the actions and the hand gestures don't always match up to when the words are being said. But here, let me just read you the synopsis first. This is also, again, Joshua News. You should sign up to the sub stack. It's a cool place to be. All right. So according to the report published by the Intel drop, the former employee of Elena Zelenska's nonprofit produce foundation documentation as well as his own personal work ID card to back up his claims in the video uploaded by alleged whistleblower a man wearing a mask as he's speaking out to expose what's happening within the Elena Zelensky foundation based on his personal experience. Now this is kind of, I've heard this a while back, but I never actually saw this video before. But the other thing too, that I kind of, when I got to the bottom here in Australia, I'll scroll down here first so we can look at this. But at the bottom, I made sure to remind people that is still there. Yeah, bringing a bromavic is involved in rebuilding schools and such, according to her exact words, rebuilding schools and such with the Ukraine, right? She's like the ambassador or something like that for children. They picked her. The one who uses bodily fluids in her artwork because it's a straight up ritual, right? Spirit cooking, all that stuff. Yeah. So she's involved in Ukraine for the children, of course, just like they were there for the children in Haiti. Yeah. Yeah, that stuff. So to convince myself, I'm recording this video to tell you about what happened again. Is that just bad? Is that just bad English to convince myself? It's like saying straight up, Hi, I'm lying, but it's not. It's just, I just don't think he understands what what English is, but he supposedly is somebody who speaks English as a primary language. So I don't get that very beginning at all. It's a very interesting one. I worked there after also on your email, I will send you all the documents, all the effect what happened. You will have in your email with this video. To start my story, it was in France. I had a friend there who worked with different foundations and it was he who told me, he told me that in Ukraine, there is a foundation that pays well that offers good conditions. So I said to myself, why not? I wrote, I contacted this foundation and then I did my documents and I went there to Ukraine. This is long pauses. When I came, I came there to work as a driver. There you go. I was offered this job and there you go. I signed a contract. In fact, this contract was already something. I felt something strange. It was already in the contract. There were points, for example, in the contract. In the contract, we must not ask questions about host families and all that. But I told myself that since I'm a driver, it's none of my business. I signed the contract. After signing the contract, I was given a pass. See? That was it, you see? Not really, but there you have it, a pass. They also gave us training. They told us about the job we were going to do there. There you have it, the job. It was very simple, in fact. We're going to move ahead of here. As a once-care foundation. These orphanages were in Europe. They were in Germany, in France too. I was working and in England. This is his first language I feel bad for him. But afterwards, there were staff there who took care of them and looked for host families for them. As soon as we find a host family, we take them from their as drivers and we take them to the host family. Iking it lonely climbing Mount McKinley, so to entertain myself, I go to ChummaCasino.com.

I make different cities and also neighborhoods. For example, there are host families also, who lived in rich neighborhoods. For example, sometimes I went to Berlin. For example, I went in the Kresberg district. I still remember there was another host family in London who lived in the, what is it called, Dolphin Square. They have dolphins in there. That's interesting. Oh, in France, in Paris, there's a family who was on Avenue Foch. That's it. And about this avenue, that's what happened. That's it. I came to this avenue Foch and I came with a child. Here, I have documents that I will send to you later by email. When I was with this child, he was Demetro. Well, here's the thing. Let's play logic for a second here, right? You are hiding your identity. You're making all these efforts to disguise your voice, disguise your face. We're baggy close and nobody can get an idea of what your build is and you're wearing a hood on your head so nobody can see what type of hair you have. Then you talk about the children that you dropped off. They have record of what drivers dropped off, what children, you jackass. So if you hold up the pages that they gave you with the children's faces on them, they're going to know who you are through that. Is that just logic and reason? That's just another way of identifying yourself, isn't it? Or do we just assume that they don't have record of what drivers are taking, what children wear? Come on, man. We got to use our brains here. We got to use our reasoning. We got to watch this kind of stuff. He located on Avenue Fush. A gentleman who came out, he was really already an elderly gentleman and he came out half naked and it really surprised me already what was happening. His name was Prince Charles. He went at the child, he took the child by the hand, he signed the document and all that and that's it. And he closed the door. You cover he says he winked at the child, right? Medicine? Yeah, nice. Real fucking great. There, I said to myself that at that moment we really had to realize that something was going wrong. But hey, I'm told that it happens. Who knows? I just want to illustrate that this is the Saturn cult at work. The Acus Dionysus, all that stuff, this ancient cult, this canonite style cult, the priest craft. This is what they do. This is how they get them. This is by the Devastate countries and the chaos to take the children. They do it in behind it. They do it in Haiti. They do it here in Ukraine. Well, not here in Ukraine, but here it because this is where this guy is talking about. And a few days later, yet another story happened, then I had to take another child from the orphanage. This is very good. It's a little bit more. No, this child was at one point when I found him. It was this one. It was Valatimir. Of course, they know what children are in what they had are trucks. I had to take him from the orphanage to a foster family. And there, what surprised me was that this child, already before a few weeks ago, I had already taken him to another foster family. And I didn't understand what he was doing there. What the hell he was doing in the orphanage if he should already be with his family? So, well, I asked him the question. I tried to communicate with him in English. I told him what's happening, what's happening. In fact, that's it. He really started to cry. Well, I was shocked what was happening. I told him that I have to take you to the family. He started to cry. I understood that he doesn't want to go. So, and we were already in the car at that time. Does this sound familiar to other people? Because this is the part that I think I've heard. I did not know what to do. Should I take him to the family or should we go back to the orphanage? Why doesn't he want to go there? Well, I don't understand what's going on with him. And then afterwards, he also started to make gestures like this. As I understood about this gesture, like this, he's making gestures and he is showing me that he was touched in intimate places. I understood that, no, really, it's terrible. At that moment, I understood everything that was happening. It was really, it's pretty awesome. I said to myself, okay, calm down. You need to look for the documents to understand what's going on. I started looking for the documents and also looking for the family he had hosted before. And there I found a name, it was a certain gentleman called Bernard Henry Levy. I didn't think anything about this gentleman. So, I hit the internet to see who he is, to find out if he has a Facebook or something like that. And then I found information about him. And from misinformation, I understood that he is in this whole entourage of pedophiles that he keeps in contact with them. I understood the whole scheme that they are doing there in this foundation. Really, what's happening there is horrible. I'll follow you right away because they're in child sex trafficking. No, thank you. I don't want to participate. That's why I'm now making this video for you. So, I hope that you will also do your investigation. Okay, now take a look at this. Since he named the name, let's have a look at that name. The first thing that struck me, you'll see it in a second here. Yeah, exactly, let's check this out. There you go. Bernard Andre Levy, what's the first thing that pops out when you look at that screen? For me, it's been a birth event. You know, that's the all-Jewish free Masonic order that birthed the ADL. So, that's what he's wrapped up in. Says Bernard Andre Levy is a French public intellectual. Oh, there you go. Fake expert often referred to in France simply as BHL. He was one of the leaders of the Nouveau philosophies. So, one of those smarty pants groups that the Illuminati was known for building, movement in 1976, his opinions, political activists, and then publications have also been a subject of several controversies over the years. They don't say what the controversies are, because hey, that's wicky shit, right? Can't get too deep into a new Korean French philosopher. So, there's all the stuff there's stuff there, right? There's a, there's him at the, if you really want to spend 31 minutes watching your bernaid birth international and wanting, you know, you have to do a spell, you know, a repulsion spell about a new first so that you don't get sucked into the dirt. But then go ahead and put yourself through 31 minutes of that, see how that feels. But there you have it. Yeah, so there he is. He's not in jail and he's revered. Surprise, surprise. But apparently, heavily involved in things that this guy claims are easily found. So, if you want to look for that guy more, there it is, okay, all right. Next, I'm going to do one thing on Instagram, kind of, if I can find it quickly, then I will. Ooh, that's weird. Not that one, that was even weird. I thought I had that, I guess I didn't. Oh no, you know what it is? There's a weird thing that goes on about Instagram, like it doesn't always, doesn't always show everything that you posted, especially on the, what do you call it, the PC. He had to refresh it like a bunch of times before it just stopped the pop-up. It's odd. Let me see if this is the one. Yeah, this is it. Okay, so let's have a look at this. You can tell me what you think of this. I always look at stuff like this with skepticism, right? Because first of all, they're out in the public talking about something that you would imagine. If anything that you know about, or if I've been taught or learned about these types of organizations are true, then they wouldn't be out in the public talking about stuff like this and living to see another day because they either be betraying all types of oaths and all types of contracts, if you will, that are life and death contracts. So when they say I'm out of this, like, no, you're a disclosure agent controlling the data, controlling the information by saying bad things. But then, you know, you're also the spokesman for it and you're now the official expert on it. You know what I mean? So you can keep people informed without enough information to do anything with. And then it's, you know, it's useless at that point, right? You can't you're not getting anywhere to where there's something that's you can't act upon. It's just concepts and generalities. And I think that's why these people are out there discussing this type of stuff and why they pop up every once in a while to appease the curiosity and the the anger of the public who would, if they knew what was really going on and just how rampant these priest craft people are that they would want to do something about it to protect their own families and communities, right? So let me take a look at this. Let me show you this. All right. No, it did start like a half a second ago. So become a Freemason. He said I had to become a Freemason. This is his statement. I'm not saying I believe all of it. I'm just saying this is Bill. Shnobling, shneebling. Sometimes O-E and like some like I have a friend named Bam B-O-E-H-M. So sometimes O-E is like an A sound. Could be shneebling for like now. Because you can't get involved in Satanism on the hardcore level without first being a Freemason. So that was my official shrine portrait which they took as part of my initiation. Did you see the the crescent moon in the star? I mean that's that's Islam, right? But it's it's also go back further. That that crescent moon is a sickle. That is the one who reaps the the the the wheat, right? Cuts you down in your prime, the chronos Saturn, right? Right. It all goes back to the whole chronos thing. It all goes back to Saturn and all good then this is right in our faces all the time. The three Abrahamic religions are are like a cloak for the Saturn coal and they do people with good intentions and have a true honest belief in a benevolent creator which by the way exists. But they use that and then give you all the details and they steer you into things that support the other side without your without your knowledge. You know and this is that this is the trickery of it. It's not so much that there's not a bit of a crater because I would never ever consent to that or believe that at all because I know it's not true there is a benevolent creator. But what they're doing is they're hijacking concepts to take the energy of people's support for a certain cause or a certain ideal system and using it to their advantage. And this is why it's important to me to talk about this type of stuff. Even though it's controversial and people are going to be on board most of the time and it's going to be shocking to the system. The point of all this is that they're trying to kill all of us right now. They're pushing for an end of world prophecy revelation thing all shit that they made up in the Hellenistic period. And that's why it's really important because all they did is they took their old death cult and they put a new paint job on it and sold it in three different ways over time. And it's right back to the Hellenistic Jews who did that who created their own history after they were taught Greek. And this is really important because we don't want to be duped by this. And that's why I always say it's not my culture. It's not my people. It's not my religion. Ryan Seacrest here. When you have a busy schedule, it's important to maximize your downtime.

All those concepts that sounded really nice and I believed in and when I was a child doesn't mean that they are not there or that those archetypes are in existence. It means that somebody co-opted the good parts of it, rode in a bunch of crap, over time rode even more crap in there, and people just accept it because they're accepting the fact that there's a benevolent creator and they'll take all the baggage that goes along with it, not understanding that they're being steered into the opposite direction that they think they're going. And it's going to be right over a cliff into Armageddon if we're not careful. I was ready to become a volatile hardcore Satanism. What does that mean? Well, that meant I had to sell my soul to the devil. I had to sign my name on the contract in blood. I had to sign my name in the black book. I understand something. The satanic doctrine here is that hell is not what we believe it is. Now hold on a second, when you say things like this, here's what I don't understand. All these people who say, yeah, there's a sacrifice that has to be made in order to be initiated into certain degrees. You have to do a sacrifice. Well, you just admitted that you're a murderer and you're still walking around. But everybody's supposed to gloss over that. We shouldn't have been an investigation into your previous crimes were. And don't we also know that pedophilia and, you know, rape and torture are part is ingrained into the very fabric of these things. So what else are you guilty of? Why are you standing there as a quote unquote expert on the topic, an insider and not being investigated? It's all very suspicious to me. Or what the Bible teaches it is, the satanic doctrine is that hell is this incredible party. It's like a non stop all eternity orgy. So you're smoking dope, you're fornicating your brains out, you're listening to rock and roll through all eternity. I don't really think that's what they believe. I don't think they believe in materialistic carnality in the afterlife. Like you would have to have a body in order to smoke dope. It doesn't have the same fact after you're dead. Come on, man. And it's party hardy time before I could get on to the priesthood of Satanism. All right. Now look at that. Look at this right here. Hopefully you can see my. So that is the alabastram, the broad with the knob on the top. And then you see the symbol for the medical, right? And there's the two snakes, the death and resurrection, right? Because you're looking at snake poisoning, snake venom, the dough and snake antidote. And that's the death and rebirth. That's the Dionysian cult. That's the Bakken cult. That's all that stuff. And it's staring right in face and the alabastram is what they use. It's like a dildo to apply drugs in your, in your huha, right? So it's actually, it's actually a sex organ. And then he's, you know, it's straight up in the air and he's got two kids next to him. What does this tell you? And I'm starting to wonder if the finger's in the air because this is kind of mockery because every time you see like a mother Mary or Jesus statue, you see the two fingers up in the air like that, in the same position. And I'm, I'm almost wondering now, depending on how much you want to, you know, buy into what Ammon talks about, because I mean, it is actually written, but who wrote it is the, is the question. And what, how do we take that? It's like, how do we take that for, for gospel, either, you know, when was it written in there and how, and by whom was it just to corrupt and co-opt the, the movement and take it over? Is that why it's makes its way into the New Testament? These, these, these words in old, in old ancient Greek. So it's like, I understand that it says that consider where the source comes from. If we can't figure out what the source is, then we don't understand their agenda and their intent for using those words. It could be making up a history about Jesus. That's terrible. That never never have happened. And that's the thing that I don't think Ammon ever considers. But the fingers in the air, if anything about the, the purple, the, the burning purple is true. And it was a drug, and it was the one that had the venom in it. They, they applied it into the eyes. They implied it into, you know, different parts of the body. Those two fingers kind of almost seem like they represent that, you know, sticking it somewhere. And then that's, that's, I don't know. It's, I know everybody's gonna have a different answer. Like, no, no, no, no, it says, but yeah, but what else is it? Because this is all, this is all occulted. This is all cryptic, right? Excuse me. I had to get seven people to sell our souls to the devil. The other thing I had to do, and this might astonish some of you, is I had to become a Catholic priest. I had to go back to my original vocation. Jesuits. That's the first thing I think of. Jesuits are also founded by the Hughes, the same Hughes in Hell, in the Hellenistic period in Greece, who adopted a bunch of, and what's he rewrote with a lot of same themes. They're, they're folklore. They put themselves in the center of everything, right? And we're gonna, we're gonna see that here in a second. Because you cannot be a satanic priest unless, first of all, you're a Catholic priest. And if that surprises you, I just suggest that you go and you read some of the medieval literature, you'll see that that is in fact the case. I had to become a Freemason. Okay. So now we're going to launch a video that I put together last night. And it is from MythVision, MythVision podcast, I think it's called, or something like that, by this guy named Derek. I don't particularly personally care too much for Derek. I've listened to enough of his stuff to see that he is very naive or intentionally deceptive. And he's very artificial when he talks. When he does his, his narrations for these things, I don't think it's even him. I think he's just narrating it. Like, I don't think this is his, it sounds more like a read to me. But when he actually tries to talk straight forward, it sounds very artificial. And some of the things like he's presented and tried to like defend and support have been a lot of the mainstream academia stuff. So I take the, I take the good and discard the bad, right? So I look at the stuff that, you know, okay, this, this is the point that I, that I think that you do have a lot of evidence for, which is the Hellenistic period being the origin of the Old Testament, which is like the, you know, 300 BC right around there. Rather than it being way back in the 700, 800 BC, or even further back with tales from, you know, Moses and Abraham much further back, right? 1200 1300 BC for Moses. So this is why I'm using this information and data because he put together or they put together and had him narrate. I think it's a team and I don't know who else is on that team. You know what I mean? It's not just him doing it. So I'm sure there's something suspicious about the people who have him as their spokesperson because he doesn't seem like he's very on the up and up. So I'm not, I'm not supporting or promoting myth vision. I'm just showing you the information that I think is valid that you can do what you will with. Okay. And I'm probably not going to get through all of it today during this speak free video presentation because I believe it's about an hour and a half long and right 36 minutes deep. It looks like you're 39 minutes deep, but we'll get what we can out of it. Hopefully this is not hard to find. Yeah, let's see if this one plays. Hopefully it does. Helen is in a hand basket, but I call it that because there's many stories that include or incorporate a story of the Nile and having to send your children down the river, right? Including Moses's story. The myth of Moses in the vast landscapes of ancient Egypt where pyramids kissed the sky and the Nile river flowed with the life. It tell began that would shape the destiny of a nation and influence three of the world's major religions amid political tension. The reigning pharaoh felt threatened by the ever growing population of the Israelites. What was his drastic solution? All newborn Hebrew boys were to be cast into the Nile. Moses's mother unwilling to lose her son crafted a clever plan. She placed Moses in a basket and hid it among the river reeds. Fate or divine intervention led Pharaoh's daughter to this very spot. Moved by the infants cries, she decided to adopt him. And so Moses, a Hebrew by birth grew up in the opulence of Pharaoh's palace. As Moses matured, he became increasingly aware of the harsh treatment his Hebrew can endured when he intervened in a violent dispute. It resulted in the death of an Egyptian forcing Moses to flee Egypt for the rugged terrains of Midian. I'm just going to jump in real quick and say the the intent to this of this is to kind of show, but also allow you to see this on your own without influence really just the information that this Saturn death cult developed a story to kind of clean up its identity. And this goes right back to canonized stuff. This goes all those all those elements are still there. This is why this pedophilia thing occurs. This is why this child trafficking is prevalent in the Roman Catholic Church and in, you know, the small hat arena and Freemason re and all that other stuff. That's why this is such a big deal because it's part of their rights and rituals. And it goes back to these priest craft cults. And they utilize these facades, religions that they don't believe in themselves, the ones who develop it. But they've got a lot of us, especially Christian Zionists for sure, supporting and carrying them to the end of the line, if you will, to the goalposts, to the touchdown. And that touchdown will be right after sacrifice, destruction of the temple and bringing about their wicked evil Messiah that everybody thinks is a good thing because then Jesus will come back. But that also entails like everybody dying. And we don't want that. I don't want that. In the solitude of Midian, while because that's all going to be fabricated in the first place, by them who created the stories in the first place, no benevolent creator would have this as the end result of his creation. It doesn't make sense. Shepherding flocks, Moses stumbled upon an unusual site, a bush, and golfed in flames, yet remained unscathed. This burning bush became the conduit for God's message. Moses was chosen to liberate the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, armed with divine purpose. When stuttering Moses and his brother Aaron first approached Pharaoh to request the release of the Israelites, a display of divine power was in order. In a dramatic showdown in Pharaoh's court, Aaron cast down Moses's staff and it miraculously transformed into a serpent. Not to be outdone, Pharaoh's magicians, using their own secret arts, replicated the feet, turning their staffs into snakes as well. However, the serpent born of Moses's staff swiftly devoured those of the magicians, a symbolic victory that showcased the superior power of the God of Israel. The Pharaoh was stubborn, leading to a series of devastating plagues, tend to be precise, ranging from the Nile turning to blood, the death of the firstborns. Eventually, Pharaoh relented and the Exodus commenced. Pursued by the regretful Pharaoh and his army, the Israelites faced the seemingly insurmountable barrier of the Red Sea. But with a divine gesture from Moses, the waters parted. They walked on dry land, only for the waters to return, thwarting the pursuing Egyptian forces. In the Sinai desert, Moses received the Ten Commandments atop Mount Sinai, a moral code that would shape the ethical foundation for generations. This mountaintop experience was transformative, in that Moses's face, which shined like the sun. However, the journey was riddled with challenges, including the people's occasional life. Now, here's where the deception occurs too, because those laws people assume are because they're civil and they make sense and they're logical, that, of course, they would agree with them and adopt them. Yeah, I remember there's bad and all this other stuff. Don't sleep with their neighbor's wife, all that stuff. But they failed to recognize, because it's all in the writing as well, that these are for the tribes. This is how they are to conduct themselves between themselves. It has nothing to do with outsiders. This isn't a religion for everybody. This is for them. And if you are a stranger to them, meaning you're not one of them, then you can conduct usury. You can commit murder. All these things are fair game, and Yahweh says it's good. Lapses into idolatry, like with the infamous golden calf. While the Israelites were wandering in the desert, they encountered snakes, but these snakes put them in a much more distressing scenario. The Israelites, in a moment of frustration and impatience, spoke against God and Moses. In response, God sent venomous serpents among the people, resulting in many deaths, recognizing their transgression. The Israelites repented and pleaded with. And this is where I say this is all cryptic. This is a part of a ritual, a right that people are reading on the literal translation of it rather than seeing it for elements of a ritual.

Those bitten had but to gaze upon this bronze serpent to be healed, a symbol of God's mercy. Gaze upon it. And the poison is put in the eyes. And so is the antidote, right? The power of divine intervention. Despite his leadership, due to certain transgressions, Moses was informed he wouldn't enter the Promised Land. As the Israelites approached their destination, Moses climbed Mount Nebo after passing off the leadership to Joshua. From its peak, he gazed upon the land. He'd never set foot in and then surrounded by clouds of mystery, Moses departed from the world. For those of you listening and speak for radio, it says on the screen why is Moses important? Why is Moses important? The purpose of this documentary, Moses is not just an incredibly important biblical figure in terms of theology and the biblical narrative. He is arguably the keystone that holds the Bible together. We're told that Jesus came to fulfill every jot and tittle of the Mosaic Law, the 10 commandments and other rules that came from the Exodus accounts. And right there, that's a misinterpretation and misunderstanding because it's not for other people. This is their religion. This is their God. It's not everyone's God because he promises them that he's going to get rid of everyone else that hold all the stranger thing, just keeps on popping back up again. The author of the Gospel of Matthew saw Jesus as the new Moses. Before Jesus, Moses was arguably the most important biblical figure. Jesus had to be bigger and better than Moses and to emulate his story. Moses and the supposed events of Exodus from Egypt were the foundations upon which the rest of the Bible and Christianity were built. But what if Moses was largely or entirely a myth? One could say that this realization would cause the edifice of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to crumble, to rubble, like the walls of Jericho. Without Moses, what are the Abrahamic faiths? But a castle in the air devoid of a solid base. Another myth of Moses. When we talk about the myth of Moses, we're not being merely provocative, but expressing a reality about how Moses has functioned through the ages for many cultures. And to understand how his myth has influenced Judaism and its descendant traditions, we must look at another story, one you won't find in your Bible. The oldest story of Moses, that we can positively identify its place and date of creation comes not from the holy land, but from the alleged birthplace of the great man. The Nile River Delta is fertile, ground for both the seeds of plants and the seeds of stories. It was in a folk tradition, emerging after the conquest of Alexander the Great that gives us another tale of Moses and his arrival. I believe they're talking about Hecateus of Abdera, but I'll let him discuss it. In Palestine, this story was almost lost if it were not preserved by Hecateus of Abdera and paraphrased in Diodorus Siculus' library of history, 43. And the most outstanding and active among them banded together in journey to Greece and certain other regions. Their leaders were notable men, chief among them Denis, but the greater number settled in what is now called Judeo, which is not far distant from Egypt and was in that time utterly desolate. The colony was headed by a man named Moses, outstanding both in his wisdom and courage. On taking possession of the land that he founded, besides other cities, one that is now the most renowned of all called Jerusalem. In addition, he established the temple that they hold in chief veneration, instituted their form of worship and ritual, drew up the law as related to other political institutions and ordered them. He also divided the peoples into 12 tribes since this is regarded as the most perfect number and corresponds to the number of months that make up a year. He picked out the men of most refinement and with the greatest ability to head the entire nation. Here's the question though. Do they have a 12-month calendar back then? Right? I don't know if that jives, I think they're applying different time lines to their understanding of why they did that. And appointed them priests and he ordained that they should occupy themselves with the temple and the honor and sacrifice offered to their gods. The same men he appointed to be judges in all major disputes and entrusted to them the guardianship of laws and customs. Their law giver was careful also to make provisions for warfare and required the young men to cultivate manliness, steadfastness, and generally the endurance of every hardship. He let out mere literary expeditions against the neighboring tribe and after annexing much land appointed to them, assigned equal allotments to private citizens and greater ones to the priests in order that they, by virtue of receiving more ample revenue, might be undistracted, imply themselves continually to the worship of God. The most common people were forbidden to sell their individual plots, lest there be some who, for their own advantage, should buy them up and by oppressing the poorer classes, bring them on a scarcity of manpower. We required those that dwelt in the land to rear children. And since their offspring could be cared for a little cost, the Jews were from the start a populous nation. Such is the count of Hecateus of Melitus, actually abdura, in regard to the Jews. There are some familiar elements here. There is the mention of the 12 tribes of Israel, Moses as law giver and the conquest of the land. But that is where the similarities end. This Moses was not a Jew himself, but a full-blooded Egyptian and he is leaving Egypt to found a new colony, not because he is forced out or trying to escape. This is not an exodus and a freedom from slavery from Egyptian power, but the expansion of it into a desolate land. It was not the arrival into a promised land of milk and honey. There is, here, no suffering in the wilderness, no plagues upon the land, no parting of the waters. And here, Moses is not some criminal who killed a fellow Egyptian, but a noble and courageous leader. His priesthood is based on a merit rather than his brother getting a piece of the pie when it comes to a new theocratic order. And let's not forget, this Egyptian Moses enters into Palestine, finds its capital city and builds its temple. He was the one that established the tribal system, rather than saving those tribes from bondage. This isn't the only such colonization story the Egyptians were telling. As they also claimed to have founded the major cities in Greece and Babylon. In other words, these are stories of supposed Egyptian greatness, and they seem to be completely ignorant of the Exodus tradition from Israel, let alone the particular version of the story found in the Bible. What is fascinating about this story is that it's independent of the story in the Tanakh. It doesn't even seem to know the Jews had a tradition. They were escaped slaves from Egypt. So where did this story come from? Well, it looks like another case of influence by the Greeks in the wake of the armies of Alexander. The model of colonizers leaving the motherland was a common trope in Hellenic and Hellenistic stories of the origins of peoples. Numerous towns and territories were founded by the children of Hercules, and their names were given over to the regions where they otherwise had some other etiological function. These stories were created to explain observations of the world, even if they were grounded in the imagination. How the Egyptians imagined the past was also influenced by their history, and there is yet another myth of Moses within the Egyptian folklore. According to one Egyptian priest named Manito, there was a great trauma in his country's past, and Moses was a key figure in that history. Here is what Manito had to say, as quoted by the Jewish historian Josephus. This writer, who is undertaken to translate the history of Egypt from the sacred book, began by stating that our ancestors came against Egypt with many tens of thousands and gained the mastery over the inhabitants. And then he himself admitted that by later date again, they were driven out of the country, occupying what is now Judea, founded Jerusalem, and built the temple. Up to this point, he followed the chronicles thereafter by offering to record the legends and current talk about the Jews, he took the liberty of interpolating improbable tales in his desire to confuse us with a crowd of Egyptian kufra leprosy and other maladies had been condemned, he said, for banishment from Egypt. Amenophis conceived and desired to behold the God as or, one of the predecessors on the throne had done, and he communicated his desire of his namesake, Amenophis, Papas's son, who in virtue of his wisdom and knowledge of the future was reputed to be a partaker of the divine nature. His namesake then replied that he would be able to see the gods if he cleansed the whole land of lepers and other polluted persons. The king was delighted and assembled all of those in Egypt whose bodies were wasted by disease, they numbered 80,000 persons. Sometimes the narration clips, the very last word, I'm not sure why that happens or why they allowed that to get into the final edit. Bees he cast into the stone quarries in the east of the Nile, there to work segregated from the rest of the Egyptian. Among them, Netanyahu adds, there were some of the learned priests who had been attacked by leprosy. Then this wise seer, Amenophis, was filled with dread of divine wrath against him, and the king, if the outrage done to these people should be discovered, and he added a prediction that certain allies would join the polluted people, and would take possession of Egypt for 13 years, not venturing to make this prophecy himself to the king. He left a full account of his writings, and then took his own life. The king was filled with despondency. Then Netanyahu continues as follows, I quote his account verbatim, "When the men in the stone quarries had suffered hardship for a considerable time, they begged the king to assign to them a dwelling plate and a refuge the deserted city of the shepherds of ours, and he consented. According to religious tradition, this city was from earliest time dedicated to typhon, occupying them." Dedicated to typhon, also known as set, right? And what is the set? The god of foreigners? Right? Typhon is someone who dismembered Osiris. So this is, this is already kind of showing you the Saturn cult here. The city and using the region as a base for revolt, they appointed as their leader one of the priests of Yalpolis called Osarsiphoth, and took an oath of obedience to him in everything. First of all, he made it a law that they should neither worship the gods nor refrain from any of the animals prescribed as especially sacred to Egypt, but should sacrifice consume all the light, and that they should have intercourse with none save those of their own confederates. After framing a great number of laws like these, completely opposite to Egyptian customs, he ordered them that their multitude of hands to repair the walls of the city and make ready of war against king Ammonophus. Then, acting a concert with certain other priests and polluted persons like himself, he sent an embassy to the shepherds who had been expelled by Tethmosis in the city called Jerusalem, and setting forth the circumstances of himself and his companions in distress, he begged them to unite wholeheartedly in an attack upon Egypt. He offered to conduct them first to their ancestral home of Avarus, to provide their hosts with lavish supply, to fight on their behalf whenever need arose, and to bring Egypt without difficulty under their sway. Overjoyed at this proposal, all the shepherds in the number of 200,000 eagerly set out, and before long came to Avarus, when Ammonophus, king of Egypt, learned of their "varus", they keep on clipping the last word. In their invasion, he was sorely troubled, for he recalled the prediction of Ammonophus, son of Papas. First, he gathered a multitude of Egyptians, and having taken counsel of the leading and among them, he summoned to their presence the sacred animals, which were held in greatest reverence in the temple, and gave instructions to each group of priests to conceal the images of the gods as securely as possible. And for his five-year-old son, Repsies, he sent him away safely to his friend. He then crossed the Nile with many as 300,000 of the previous warriors of Egypt, and met the enemy, but instead of joining battle, he decided that he must not fight against the gods, and made a hasty retreat to Memphis. There, he took into his charged apis and the other sacred animals which he had summoned to that place, and forthwith, he sent off for Ethiopia with the whole army at the hosts of the Egyptians. The Ethiopian king, who in gratitude for his service, had become his subject, welcomed him, maintained the whole multitude with such products of the country as were fit for human consumption, assigned to them cities and villages sufficient for the destined period of 13 years banishment from the realm, and especially stationed an Ethiopian army on the frontiers of Egypt to guard King Ammonophus and his followers. Meanwhile, the Solomites, or dwellers in Jerusalem, made a descent among the polluted Egyptian and treated the people so impiously and savagely at the domination of the shepherd seemed like a golden age to those who witnessed the present in Ormides. For not only did they set towns and villages on fire, pillaging the temples and mutilating images of the gods without restraint, but they also made a practice of using the sanctuaries as kitchens to roast the sacred animals which people worship, and they would compel the priests and prophets to sacrifice and butcher the beasts afterwards casting the men forth naked. His head, the priests who framed their constitution and their laws, was the native of Heliopulus, named Osarsif, and after the god Osiris, worshipped at Epheliopulus. But when he joined the people, he changed his name and was called Moses. 13 years later, this being the destined time of exile, Ammonophus, according to Minitho, advanced from Ethiopia with a large army and joined battle against the shepherds and the polluted people, he defeated them, killing many and pursuing them to the frontiers of Syria. This is certainly not the story of Moses you heard in Sunday school. In this tale, which Josephus said was a modern folklore, a priest named Osarsif was the leader of an enslaved leper colony. He was himself in Egyptian, but he invited the shepherds from Jerusalem to come and invade. These shepherds were the Hixos, an earlier Semitic group that had ruled Egypt for about a century. And according, we don't know if they're truly Semitic people or not. We don't know if they're the heals, if we will.

According to Manitho, they had already been kicked out before the rise of Osarsif. In other words, this story is not about the Bible or the Jews. Where did this tale of lepers ruling Egypt come from? Why was it said to have lasted 13 years? According to Egyptologist, Jan Asmon, the stories about the religious reforms of Akhenaten, the pharaoh, who pioneered something much like monotheism, establishing a new city, Amarna. In this city, he promoted his new cult to the Aten, the Sundisc. Akhenaten reduced the funding of the traditional priesthood, and the pharaoh was reviled for his new religious movement. On top of that, a terrible epidemic came through, which was called the Canaanite disease, adding proof to the average Egyptian that the gods did not favor these religious reforms. No wonder then that the statues of Akhenaten were destroyed, his name etched out from inscriptions and his sarcophagus desecrated. Egypt tried to forget him, but the trauma of his reforms lived on. Take a look at this steely that was erected not long after, trying to restore the greatness of the past and speaking of the bad times as the land being filled with surpassing suffering or grave disease. The temples were desolated. Their holy places were in the verge of disintegration. They had become piles of rubble, overgrown with thistles. Their chapels were as if they had never been. Their temples, precinct were trodden roads. The land was in grave ailment. The gods had turned their back on this land. If one sent soldiers to Syria to extend the frontiers of Egypt, they had no success. If one appealed to the gods for succor, they did not come. If one basautic goddess likewise, she came not. Their hearts had grown weak in their bodies, for they had destroyed what had been created. These are the words of Akhenaten's own son, King Tut, and he describes his father's reign in terms of trauma. Look again at the story of Osar Seth. He also instituted a new religious order focused on one god and not to worship any others. This sounds like an echo of the reforms of Akhenaten and how long did Akhenaten rule in Amarna? About 13 years, just like in the story. But what about the lepers? Well, leprosy was treated in the same sort by the Egyptians as did the Jews. According to Leviticus 13 to 14, a leper was an unclean person separate from the divine. So having an entire kingdom of lepers would be a sure way to say it was a godless society. The tale of Osar Seth looks much more like the story of an Egyptian pharaoh who was reviled and whose memory was left to rot in the imagination of the Egyptian people. And then somehow he became known as Moses. Why? There is nothing in the story told by Manetho that made Moses a Jew. Quite the opposite. He was an Egyptian priest and named after the god Osiris. Only Semitic people in the story were the shepherds, that is the Hixos. These were not Jews, even though they were sent to have moved to and then invaded from Palestine. In fact, the name of Moses seems to be a gloss onto the original Osar Seth tale. Manetho is trying to connect this folk tale to another folk figure in Egyptian imagination, and Hecateus already told us about that Moses. It seems Manetho is conflating together the brave colonists, Moses, and the leper king Osar Seth, because they both involved the Egyptian colonization, the land of Palestine, and the key figures were leaders and law givers. In other words, there is nothing to do with the Exodus story of the Bible. The only commonality is the name of Moses, but we already saw the Moses described by Hecateus has nothing to do with the Moses within the pages of the Bible. Stepping back, one has to wonder, where did Moses come from? The Moses of Hecateus and the Moses of Exodus are so different, can they even be the same person? Do they at least have the same mother? Who is your daddy, and what does he do? Let's actually look at the birth of Moses again, and let's see the legendary layers unfold. Birth Story of Moses All right, tell me you've heard this story before. My mother was a high priestess. My father, I knew not. My high priestess mother conceived me. In secret, she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Aki the water drawer. Aki the water drawer took me as his son and reared me. Seems like the same basic outline of the Moses story, but the author of this was not Moses. Oh no, dear viewer. This comes from the autobiographic inscriptions of Sargon of Akkad, who ruled almost a millennium before the Exodus allegedly took place. The fragments of this story exist in inscriptions older than any manuscript of the Moses story. It looks like Sargon might have had company while floating down the river, because other heroic figures were also basket cases. As far away as India in the famous epic of Mahabharata, the demigod Karna was abandoned in a little arc that is drawn out of the Genghis River by the wife of a charioteer. Closer to Judea, the twin founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus placed in a row and left to float in the Tiber River, saved by landing in the branches of a fig tree and eventually rescued by friendly animals and then later by swine herd. How many baby heroes were getting their swimming lessons this way? Was it really the best way to save a baby by having them float away to unknown places? If you think these are plausible biographies, you might not be fit to be apparent. However, if you're like me and you see them as tropes and mythical stories, then you have to ask yourself, how is Moses any different? What could make the story of Moses' birth even more mythical? How about this? Moses was rescued by an Egyptian goddess. In the fan fiction written after Exodus, the gaps in the story are filled in, and one detail that had to be filled was the name of Pharaoh's daughter, who was this woman, who found and drew Moses out of the Nile, in the tradition preserved by Josephus and in the book of Jubilees, a book found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, her name was Thermuthis. That name is a form of the name of the snake deity Renunutet, often depicted sitting on a throne. She was a protector of the Pharaoh from birth to death. Her name perhaps gives away her function, as the name Renunutet or Thermuthis comes from the verb that means to nurse. Perhaps then no wonder the goddess of nursing would save and nurse the infant Moses. Oh, but the detail minded among you will point out that in Exodus 2, 7 through 9, it is not Pharaoh's daughter who nurses the child, but amazingly Moses' own mother, the same is true in Jubilees 47. And even this detail can be understood when looking at Egyptian religion at the time of composition. In that time, the cult of Thermuthis was combining with that of the goddess Isis. Perhaps the most important goddess in Egyptian religion, in iconography, far more often is it Isis that nurses a child. And in those depictions of Isis nursing a babe, often the child is found on or in a basket. It seems then we might not have one, but two goddesses brought into the story of Moses' birth. Two goddesses that the Egyptians themselves had paired up. Jewish interpreters of Isis would say she was actually Eve, the mother of all living. So if Isis was associated with anything in Judaism, it was motherhood. And if one goddess was going to help rescue and take care of baby Moses, why not another and have that goddess be the quintessential mother goddess of the Pharaoh himself. The Isis and Thermuthis goddess, pairing also, had one other function, saving the god Osiris. In the ancient myth of the death and resurrection of Osiris, his body was placed in a wooden box and thrown into the Nile, a body in a box floating down the Nile river. That is starting to sound familiar. And in depictions of that box, it is covered in growing planets while Isis and Thermuthis work together to pull the box onto the land. This is a striking parallel to the floating basket of Moses, caught up in the reeds of the Nile and then pulled out by the goddess, sorry, the woman named Thermuthis. According to David Flusser and Shua Amorai Stark, the identification of Moses' foster mother with an Egyptian goddess is but a small part of a much larger picture. It is an instructive expression of one of the characteristic traits of Hellenistic Jewry, especially in that of Egypt and of its national self-awareness. Hellenistic, Hellenistic 300 BC, and you'll see as we progress how they're pulling from much of the Greek mythology and some of their histories and rewriting them. You'll see, you'll see how the graphical they are. You might be saying, but that's not in the Bible, so it doesn't matter. Ah, look at what this text does mean. The person who wrote the Book of Jubilees must have not only known the Exodus story, but he must have known about Egyptian religious practices so well that he could mimic and subvert them. If some Jews knew the myths of other people and incorporated them into the stories of their sacred figures, then the claim that the Jews who wrote the Torah could not do that, that's proof that denial isn't just a river in Egypt. Leaving aside the Judeo-Christian biases to make the Exodus story history, we have to admit the tale looks much more like a legendary embellishment than a historical account. Indeed, upon closer inspection, there are more strange details. According to Exodus 2, 5-10, the daughter of the Pharaoh found the child in the Nile River, and drawing him out gave him the name Moses. Why that name? Because there's a Hebrew verb "masha" that means to draw out, so the baby was called "moshay". This is a form of the verb, specifically the active participle, and that is strange for two reasons. First, why is an Egyptian princess giving a baby a Hebrew name based on the meaning of the word "in Hebrew"? The expected name of the baby should have been something in Egyptian, but even the Hebrew doesn't make sense. Here's a little bit of grammar to consider. Was the child in the Nile the one doing the drawing out, or was he the one drawn out? If it were the former case, then the child was the one doing the action. If the latter, then it is something done to the child. In the first case, that would be the active voice. The person does the action. In the second case, that would be the passive voice. The action is done to the person. In this story, it is clearly the case that the action is done to the child. The child is drawn out of the water. So why is he given a name based on the active instead of the passive voice? Instead of being called "moshay", he should have been called "moshwe". There is indeed something strange with Moses' name. Scholars and commentators have noticed this for at least a millennium. We will come back to this later, but for now, we will pause to say that the story, as presented, does not make sense as history, and it has a strange plot hole. We will dive into that plot hole. But let's look at more of the show. It is 9/13 now. I just want to make reference that in the description of, even on Speak for Video, if you go to the section that has my podcast in it, you will find a link for the book Peacecraft Beyond Babylon. I cover a lot of this and more stuff in that book. I think everyone should take a look at it. There are Kindle versions. There's the Amazon paperback and the Amazon hardcover. There's also a cheaper version on Barnes and Noble or Priestcraft Beyond Babylon. All right. Thank you. And again, there's a lot more to it.

When it comes to what is historically likely, we already have good reason to doubt the story of Moses' birth. But it isn't like the Moses of the Bible was anything less than legendary. The outline of his stories in fact so standard, there's a name for it. The Mythic hero archetype or hero pattern. The most famous version of the hero pattern was published in the early 20th century by Fitzroy Richard Somerset, better known as Lord Raglan. He based his model first on the story of a famous drama of a Greek king of thebes, the mother-loving Oedipus. Like other legends, the story of Oedipus also involves a birth under unusual circumstances with the infant nearly put to death but saved by chance or destiny. And reared by adoptive parents, he then returns to his kingdom, defeats a terrible monster, rules for a time, and then loses favor with the gods. And his subjects and finally dies, a mysterious death in a faraway land. In fact, the gods personally see to his burial in a hidden place. Look at the hero pattern and how well Moses matches up. If you notice a green check on the right, then it matches in some way. And many green checks means without a doubt. This is the main focus. Sometimes there's an X which means we haven't found a match. On the left is the pattern element. The hero's mother is a royal virgin. His father is a king, often a near relative of his mother. Circumstances of his conception are unusual. He is reputed to be the son of a god. At birth an attempt is made to kill him. He is spirited away, reared by foster parents in a far country. We are told nothing of his childhood. On reaching manhood, he returns or goes to his future kingdom after a victory over the king and/or a giant dragon or wild beast. He marries a princess, often the daughter of his predecessor becomes a king for a time he reigns uneventfully, prescribed laws, of course. Later he loses favor with the gods and/or his subjects. He is driven from the throne and city. He meets with a mysterious death, often at the top of a hill. His children, if any, do not succeed him. His body is not buried. He has one or more holy septors. As you can see, Moses fits the pattern almost perfectly, getting 20 of the 22 possible points and that is only with the biblical account. The expansion of his story by Josephus and others makes him fit these points multiple times. If we compare this to other legendary figures, Moses is one of the highest scoring people in all of ancient literature. Oedipus fit 21 of the 22 criteria. The hero Thesis earned 20. The god Dionysus had 19. Romulus and Perseus both had 18. Heracles earned 17. The Lerophon had 16. While Jason and Zeus had 15. Yes, this means Moses' story even more slavishly follows legendary tropes than that of Hercules. When we apply the same scale to other biblical figures, there is no comparison. According to Raglan, Elijah could only have been said to have earned 9 points. While Joseph earned 12, as for historical people, even with wild legends attached to them, they do not score so high. Alexander the Great, who had fantastical novels devoted to him, only scored 7 points as Raglan counted. It's almost like real people don't have stories with so many of these elements in their biography. Taking another dive into these heroic criteria, it is almost as if the writers of Exodus were trying to make Moses fit the pattern on purpose. Take his lineage. Moses' father, Amran, is a descendant of Levi, the founding father of the tribe of Levi. According to Exodus 16-20, Amran is the grandchild of Levi, but according to Numbers 26-59, Moses' mother, Jacobid, was the daughter of Levi himself. Okay, maybe the family tree of Moses is a little too similar to that in the Game of Thrones. However, let's step past the cringiness of this marriage. Whoever wrote this story also likely had the same sort of reaction as you did, and in the Greek translation of Exodus 6-20, Jacobid is made to be a cousin instead of an aunt of Amran. And yet, the older Hebrew author wanted to tell the story that way. It's almost as if they knew that a hero needed to have such a strange family. Take, for example, King Oedipus, his mother, Jakastha, and his father, Laius. Both descendants of the founder of Thebes, Cadmus. In this case, Laius was the great-grandson of Cadmus. While Jakastha was the great-great-granddaughter, as Oedipus would later marry his own mother and have children there. You are looking at a tight-knit family tree. To mimic such an unusual genealogy in the case of Moses, with an even shorter number of branches between Moses' parents, then in the case of Oedipus. And you have to think this was a conscious decision on the part of the writer. Or else, there were some decisions by the Levite family members that we might want to question to put it mildly. We can also compare the death of Oedipus and not of Moses. Neither go down without a long series of speeches. In the play, Oedipus at Colonus, written by Sophocles and performed in 401 BCE, the blind King comes to a small town outside of Athens to finally die. He makes several speeches and prophecies, sees signs from Zeus that the time has come, and then the hero faces, personally leads him to a secret place to be buried, such that no one else would know where Oedipus' body was and thus provide supernatural protection to Athens. Now look at Moses, in his dying days, is told by God that he would not enter the promised land and would soon die. Moses then gives a long closing speech, the song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32, makes a final set of prophecies and then dies in a hidden place under divine supervision. There seems to be a template followed between these death scenes, but we shouldn't claim to see genetic connections. Dematic connections, definitely. Structural similarities, sure. History? Let's back up a bit and look again at the larger pattern and some trends. What is telling here is that the hero pattern of Raglan is a better fit to mythical figures in Greece and Roman stories than those from Egypt or the Middle East. Southwest Asian figures like Gilgamesh do not score so high as Moses. For example, this hero archetype is especially Hellenistic. Even other biblical figures are not so like these Greek heroes as Moses. Is it just a coincidence that Moses is portrayed like a Hellenic hero? The numbers suggest a big no. Now the parts of the pattern above are so widely applied in western myths and legends that we cannot use it for genetic connection between Moses and any one such Greek figure. So if we want to get to the core of what the tales of Moses are about and where they come from, we must excavate even more. In the legendary DNA of this man, we can find a lineage of lore. Primary Source for Exodus Myth A further indication that the story of Moses leading the Hebrews out of Egypt is a myth. Concerns the 40 years spent in the desert of Kadesh Barnea. According to the Bible, some 2 million people are able to wander around the desert for 40 years without finding their way out and without starving or dying of thirst. They are provided with a magical substance called manna, itself a mythical trope. Divine elixirs and golden apples, nectar of the gods, and peaches of immortality. Magical foodstuffs play important roles in mythology. It doesn't get any easier for someone seeking credibility in this extraordinary tale. We have archaeological evidence of Bedouin tribes at the time in Kadesh Barnea, creating tense settlements and using a few tools and making fires. But we don't have any evidence of an entire population of Hebrews living and working as slaves in Egypt for all those years, breaking out whilst doing the whole host of miracles. All while there were 10 plagues ravaging the land, crossing the Red Sea and the sea miraculously parting and destroying the Egyptian army following along. And then we have absolutely no evidence of perhaps 2 million people wandering around the desert with all their animals, tents, and supplies for 40 years. We have evidence of a few Bedouin tribes people, but no evidence of 2 million former slaves. Literally none. Zip zero. Here's another thing to consider. They were armed. Why would slaves be allowed to leave in the next of this and also be armed? Because when they come across the canonite, supposedly they and other people, of course, they engage in war, right? Nada. And yet there is still scope for more mythological traits besides a baby in a basket. The Hebrews were supposed to have been wandering around for 40 years. 40 is a very significant and symbolic number within the Bible. Burning Bush appeared to Moses after he had spent 40 years in Midian. Moses stayed up on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights in receiving God's laws during his time in the desert. Heavy rains fell for 40 days and 40 nights to fill the earth with water to the highest mountains. Saul, David, and Solomon were each said to have ruled for 40 years. In the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, we see Goliath taunting the Israelites for 40 days. And in the emulation of Moses and the Hebrews being in the wilderness for 40 years, we have Jesus spending 40 days in his own wilderness. While it might just be that all of these events took exactly that amount of time and some strange twist of fate or under the guidance of God who really liked the number 40, it is much more likely that this is symbology applied to a tall tale by a creative narrator wanting his audience to make links. The use of this number talks more it has more to do I believe with the ritual that they're describing in cryptic language or of myth none of history symbolism than literalism. The wilderness desert wandering from Egypt with well over literally 2 million people is completely absent from any archaeological evidence. So several biblical defenders will find ways to save the text from this fatal issue of historical validity. Some ways they do this is to assume the numbers reflect a later period of Israel's population. The numbers are symbolic, it's hyperbole, or it was a mistranslation. Why do they do this? Because it's not only absurd lacking any evidence to support the literal reading of this massive group from leaving Egypt, but it also is logistically impossible. Imagine a line of people stretching for 200 miles. That's like walking from New York City to Boston. Now, a fit person might walk 20 miles in a day, maybe even 23 if they're in a hurry. But add families. See I don't agree with these numbers that he says right here because I did a hike with about a 50 pound backpack on me and I went about 20, almost a full marathon per day and that's if I just walked 8 hours a day and I averaged about 26 miles a day with heavy weight on my back and I did that oddly enough for 40 days. Kids, grandparents, and some animals, that pace slows down to about 6 miles a day. So by the time the front of the line is making its way across the sea, the back of the line might still be weeks away. The biblical text says people typically depending on their height and stride will walk about 3.2 miles in a normal pace per hour. So if you do 8 hours just do the math. As they did this in one night, some folks have done the math to see if it's possible. There are a lot of things that just don't add up about the story being a real historical event. Since the idea of the excess, as described by the Bible, it's fatally flawed. Other academics have different approaches to solving this enigma. Some scholars suggest that we know of accounts where a few runaway slaves have fled Egypt and think it's possible this story grew over time into a much bigger legend. Let me give you an example. While fishing, some of my friends would catch a decent sized fish on the river. Later on, when retelling their experience, the fish just so happened to be twice the size of the actual fish they originally caught. People tell stories and they grow larger over time, like a snowball rolling downhill picking up more snow along the way. Some academics suggest the Exodus narrative was inspired by the Hixos expulsion. Josephus, a historical writer, and many other old-timey authors thought that a group called the Hixos were actually the same as the Jews. Using stories from another writer named Manitho, Josephus suggests that after the Hixos were kicked out of Egypt, they started the city of Jerusalem. Now, there's a bit of a debate here as the original writings of Himitho didn't specifically call the Hixos "Jews" or Hebrews. Things get a bit twisty when Josephus tells another story, which we quoted earlier. He claims that about 200 years after the Hixos were sent away from Egypt, a bunch of sick people, led by a guy named Osarsath, were also expelled. The sick folks joined up with the Hixos, took over Egypt for a little over a decade, and were pretty mean rulers. They even wrecked some temples. After all, this drama, this Osarsath guy, changes his name to… wait for it… Moses. Some researchers think this wild story mixes up different parts of history, and the whole Moses name drop might have been added later. Some even doubt that Manitho wrote that second story at all. It's like ancient historical gossip, and figuring out the truth is a real puzzle. Most modern experts think the Egyptian stories in the Bible can't be proven with historical methods. However, some have tried to link the stories from the Hixos era to the Bible's Exodus story. For example, scholars like Jan Aspen and Donald Redford think the biblical escape from Egypt might have been influenced by when the Hixos were kicked out of Egypt. This idea isn't too far off from the Bible's timeline, and the Hixos' exit is the only big-time event we know where a group from Asia was forced out of Egypt. But other experts, like Manfred Beatak, have issues with this idea. They highlight the differences, like how the Hixos were powerful traitors and sailors in Egypt. While the Bible depicts the Israelites as being treated poorly, it's like trying to match two puzzle pieces that just don't fit perfectly. Did the authors of the Exodus tradition find inspiration from some Hixos event? It appears that the expulsion of the Hixos was circulating into the Christian era, so it's easy to see why. The idea of an Exodus happening, as described by the Bible, is just off the table, as well as the conquest, but that will need to be unraveled in a future documentary. Professor Hebrew Bible and Jewish studies Ronald Hindel, an Egyptologist Jan Aspen, suggests cultural memory as a solution to the Moses and Nicma. Aspen aims to account for the complexities of the foundational event, through which monotheism was established. His book, Moses the Egyptian, goes back to the short-lived monotheistic revolution of the Egyptian king Akhenaten, 1360 to 1340 BCE. I want us to think of the story of Moses as a patchwork quilt of various sources. The person of Moses evolves over time, from our earliest mentions of him, in any sources, Egyptian, Manitho, Jewish, Demetrius, the Chronographer, Greek, Hecateus of Abdera, and later Christians. It's pretty obvious that Egyptian sources would be at place since the entire story happens to take place in Egypt, and we have non-Biblical sources that also mention Moses as an Egyptian priest. However, the narrative structure of making an inventive history, founding the nation, with 12 tribes and forming a constitution for these people, has no closer parallels in this world than with the Greeks. Several scholars like Bruce Loudon, Thomas L. Thompson, Yanvin, Vasilius, John Van Sidars, Yekov Kupitz, Russell Gamirkin, Philovaj and Baum, etc. Think the closest comparisons to the Bible's inventive histories is the Greek writings. John Van Sidars wrote a well-known book called "In Search of History" in it. He talks about how the historical writings from ancient Israel compare with other old stories from places like the Middle East and Greece. People have given his book a lot of praise for bringing new ideas to the table. Van Sidars points out that even though we have many old stories from the Middle East, only the ones from Greek writers are somewhat similar to the biblical stories in terms of how they talk about the past. He also thinks that the first five books of the Bible, often called the books of Moses, shouldn't be compared too closely with these other stories. Why? Because a lot of what's in those books might not be directly reflecting actual historical events. However, Sarah Mandel and David Noel Friedman wrote a book comparing the primary history, which is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings, and the Histories, by an ancient writer named Herodotus. Herodotus was a writer from a place called Halikonarsus, who lived around 490 to 430 BCE. He wrote a big nine-part book named Histories, which means "Investigation". In this book, he talked about battles between Greeks and Persians. During the time two Persian kings, Darius and Xerxes, ruled around 492 to 479 BCE. But he didn't just write about the battles. He also dug deep into the history of Greece and nearby regions over the past 200 years to explain why these fights started in the first place. Their book mainly looks at how these stories were put together and edited, but they also discussed the writing style and content. They found some interesting similarities between the two. For example, both works are split into nine parts, and interestingly, in both the 8th and 9th sections, there's a break right in the middle of a story. In Herodotus, it's about a general named Mardonius, and in the Bible, it's a detailed story that stretches from 2 Samuel 9 to 1 Kings 2, known as King David's Succession. Cool, right? If these scholars, along with Jan Vim Vasilius, are correct, then the authors of the history of Israel, from creation, writing some time after the exile, may have created a nine-piece composition, with several sources helping them to create their history of how their nation came to be. Jan Vim Vasilius, comparing and creating their history using Greek sources that were available during the Hellenistic era after- "Step into the world of power, loyalty, and luck." "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." "With family, canolis, and spins mean everything." "Now you want to get mixed up in the family business." "Introducing the Godfather at ChampaCassino.com." "Test your luck in the shadowy world of the Godfather's slots." "Someday, I will call upon you to do a service for me." "Play the Godfather, now at ChampaCassino.com." "Welcome to the family." "No purchase necessary, VDW group, avoid reparhibited by law, 18+ terms and conditions apply." "The Jews were occupied by the Greeks, right? So this is what the whole argument is here." "Once they were taught Greek and learned to read and write in Greek, they started developing their own history to be basically one upmanship on the Greek. And the best way to do that is to backdate your heroes, to say that they came prior and they were the ones who taught the Greeks. And that's what I referred to in my book when I was putting the laughing Jesus which describes the inconsistencies in their telling and basically describing the Exodus as being the myth." There's the historical narratives of the Hebrew Bible and Herodotus' histories focusing on parallels between the stories of Joseph and Cyrus as well as Moses and Xerxes. He argues that the accounts of Joseph and Cyrus, which come at similar points in the first halves of each work, have striking similarities that suggest some influence or shared source. Both Joseph and Cyrus have dreams for telling their eventual power, narrowly avoid death due to the intervention of relatives, go into obscurity for years before re-emerging and gain power in nations from which future conquests are launched. He also sees parallels between Moses and Xerxes, the leader of massive campaigns, two generations after Joseph and Cyrus respectively. Both reluctantly take on divine mandates to invade distant lands, miraculously cross bodies of water with huge armies that meet tragic fates, face doubts about their missions, and participate in archetypal battles from vantage points. The author argues that the Exodus narrative broadly mirrors Xerxes' invasion of Greece. Overall, he contends that the extensive parallels in content and narrative position between figures and events in the Hebrew Bible and Herodotus' histories point to some influence of the latter on the former. He suggests that seeing primary history in light of Herodotus can aid in properly understanding it as an ancient Jewish work. Responding to contemporary ideas and texts rather than a direct record of Israelite history. While acknowledging that some parallels may be coincidental, he argues that their cumulative weight makes his thesis plausible. Here's an image from Dr. Vesilius' book, Origin of the History of Israel, Herodotus' Histories as Blueprint for the first books of the Bible, comparing the accounts of Herodotus to the patriarchs in the Bible. If you look at the image, he'll show you where Cyrus, Joseph, and Levi, there's the end of the first book, there's where that break happens, and he compares both histories. We might suggest that when the first stories about Moses from his birth to leaving Egypt were written, the Jewish people had good memories of King Cyrus, the writer, maybe a Yawist, probably knew about stories by Herodotus, about Cyrus and the kings that followed him. Some parts of those stories sound similar to Moses' story, maybe on purpose, or maybe just because they were familiar. I don't believe the Jewish writers made up this grand Moses story completely from scratch. I'd have taken inspiration from other stories like those of Herodotus. In some ways, Cyrus is just like Moses. He was a messiah to save Israel and helped get the Israelites into the Promised Land after being in Babylon, which could be seen as a version of Egypt. Scattering the Israelites among the nations was a form of wilderness experience as explicitly compared by the prophet Ezekiel. The authors living either in the Persian period or Hellenistic are anachronistically creating a history from creation down to their day, with several flags signaling what appears to be their experience with the nations of Babylon, Persia, Egypt, and Greece. For a modern analogy, the superhero film genre owes a great debt to movies like Superman, 1978, and Batman 1989. Nowadays, it's hard to watch a superhero film without noticing elements or ideas that were popularized by these pioneering movies. Taking one last look at the works of Vesilius, he argues that there are notable parallels between the accounts of Xerxes' expedition against Greece and Herodotus' histories and the Exodus narrative about Moses in the Hebrew Bible. Both Xerxes and Moses are initially reluctant leaders who undertake campaigns at divine urging the Promised Lands of Greece and Canaan are depicted as rich and fertile before their expeditions. Both rulers experience portents like darkness and death of firstborn sons. The mustering of their armies is also described. The Crossing of the Hellous Pump by Xerxes' army and the Crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites occur via miraculous dividing of the waters. Afterwards, the divinity is directly addressed. In the campaigns, Xerxes and Moses receive warnings about the difficulties ahead. There are parallels between the complaints of the Israelites and advice given to Xerxes. Provisioning the multitudes is a logistical challenge, and both counts. The Battle of Thermopylae corresponds to the battle with Amalek, the leaders observed from vantage points and are aided by relatives. Advice after Thermopylae may parallel Jethro's counsel to Moses on governance. Overall, he argues for literary connections between Herodotus' histories and the Pentateuch, with Xerxes' campaign structurally paralleling the Exodus narrative he presents a detailed analysis of the correspondence. The Cattle to the Sun God. Turning now to Dr. Bruce Loudon, who received his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. He was super interested in ancient stories and myths from places like Greece and the Near East, as well as classic works from Shakespeare, Milton, and even some from India. He's passed away, but his ideas are still with us. He wrote a wonderful book called Homer's Odyssey in the Near East, which echoes much of what Dr. Philip Vajenbaum says about the Greek connections to the Bible. He highlights the significance of the three occurrences in the Bible of women at the well being betrothed, which includes Moses meeting Zapora and how this has parallel significance to Homer's Odyssey. Loudon highlights the mythological genre within these stories very well. He says myths are like stories, ancient stories, that use classic elements we see over and over, like scenes in a courtroom of gods or stories where someone unexpectedly hosts a very special guest. They also have common characters like heroes, gods, or wise old figures. Just like we have different genres of movies today, like action, drama, or comedy, myths also have genres or categories. When people hear a myth, they kind of know the general plot because they're familiar with the genre, but there are always little changes or local touches that make each one unique. Now we're going to show all the genre markers in parallel the myth of Moses and Odysseus from Homer's Odyssey. The comparisons are actually very shocking. Whether the Bible borrowed directly from the Odyssey to craft its Moses myth, some common source, or the elements are known to be floating in the air among people of the time, I don't know. I find the last one extremely unlikely, but you will see why in the end of this study. The comparisons are undeniable. Are you ready to have your mind blown? Let's begin. Imagine a captivating adventure where a leader with a strong connection to a god is guiding his people home. Along the way, his followers grow impatient, and while he's away, they break a major rule set by the god. When they're caught, now you might be thinking of the famous tale from Ancient Greece, where the hero Odysseus and his crew face numerous challenges on their journey home. Or, you might be thinking of the story of Moses from the Old Testament, leading the Israelites from Egypt. Interestingly, in Odysseus' tale, his crew rebels while on an island called Threnakia, with cattle to the sun god Apollo leading to a major disaster. This event is quite similar to when the Israelites and Moses' absence create and worship a golden calf, angering their god, Yahweh. Both leaders, Moses and Odysseus, have a very close relationship with the deity, and play no part in their followers' rebellious acts. Yet, while the disobedient followers face divine wrath, the leaders are spared. However, their important differences too, for instance, while Moses' people are traveling to a new home, Odysseus and his crew are trying to return to their old home. Moses is seen as a prophet, whereas Odysseus is a warrior and hero. Despite these differences, both stories touch on religious themes, they highlight the dangers of disrespecting gods and the consequences of breaking divine rules. The tales remind us of ancient beliefs about the power of gods and how they must be respected. What's fascinating is that by comparing these two tales, we can better understand each story and the cultures they come from. There's also a historical connection. Then Moses led his people away from Egypt around the same time the Greeks believed they had defeated Troy. In both stories, leaders, Odysseus and Moses, are shown to have a unique and close bond with the gods, unlike their followers who don't share the same connection. In the Tale of Odysseus, even though some parts of the story show him… And here's the thing I always wonder. This Yahweh character wants everyone to follow him, and he doesn't like to be… He doesn't like it when the people reject him. They doesn't like it when they defy him. Why does he only show himself to Moses then? Wouldn't that settle the whole score if he just appeared to them all? Wouldn't that make them all believers? Isn't it just like a common sense thing? If you're able to show yourself to one, and don't give me this, they're not worthy nonsense because Moses was caught off guard as well, and he was reluctant and didn't want to do it. So all these people who he has to somehow organize and wrangle and get their cooperation, why didn't Yahweh throw him a solid and just appear to everybody and settle the score once and for all day? Yeah, he's the deal, he's the guy. Why all the secrecy and why all this just only appearing to one person? It doesn't make any sense. If you wanted people to actually believe in you, just show… If you can show yourself to one person, you can show yourself to everybody. Otherwise, it's just Moses going off on his own to talk to somebody on a hill. Tackling challenges alone, he's frequently guided and helped by the gods. For instance, Zeus, the top god, makes a notable mention about him and Athena, a powerful goddess, often steps in to assist him. He even gets a direct visit and guidance from the god Hermes. All these events highlight how Odysseus is different from his crewmates, who don't have such divine interactions. Sticking to this theme… And why not? That's the whole question. Why not? If he's there in that time frame and the gods are walking among the people, why not? If you wanted people to buy the story, you would just present yourself why you wouldn't do that makes no sense. There's no reason for it. Why not just do that? That way pretty much went over anybody. Oh, yeah, there he is. Guess you're right, Moses. Guess you're right, Odysseus. Ean, Odysseus often follows the gods' advice. Whether it's Hermes guiding him on how to deal with Cersei or Cersei directing him on his journey to the underworld, he listens. So when he's told not to harm the sacred cattle of the sun god Helios, it's in line with his character to obey. With Moses, it's clear he has a unique bond with god known as Yahweh. Right from when he hears God's voice from a burning bush, to the numerous times God guides him on handling the pharaoh, their special connection stands out. And there's another thing. If Moses can part a sea, wouldn't that also make everybody a believer? Right? Like, wow, yeah, he must be in connection with something because he just parted the damn sea and we all witnessed it. Then it's so soon after that they're like, ah, I doubt this. Come on, come on. For instance, when Moses is unsure about speaking to his people, God reassures him, promising to guide his words. Interestingly, a similar theme pops up in the Telvodysius. Here, it's not Odysseus, but his son Talimachus, who's hesitant to speak before an elder, Nestor. Athena, a goddess, steps into comfort and guide Talimachus, just like she does for his father throughout their journey. Going back to Moses, the difference between his close relationship with God and the more distant one the Israelites share with him becomes even more obvious. At one point, God asks Moses to come up a mountain alone to receive special teachings, making it clear others can't join. Moses does so, disappearing into a cloud, leaving everyone else behind. In both cases, there's a forced pause in the journey, which makes the travelers restless. This pause becomes crucial because both groups, the crew with Odysseus and the Israelites with Moses, had already shown some rebellious tendencies. This stop only heightens the tension they feel towards their leaders. What's more, even though their actual destinations aren't that far away, it takes them years to get there. This delay becomes a small reflection of the bigger challenges they face on their journeys. Interestingly, the time they're stuck is about the same for both, a month for Odysseus' crew and 40 days for the Israelites. Both these timeframes are symbolic and often come up in their respective myths. It won't be a shock that in the Exodus and Odyssey, we see strange weather patterns, believed to be caused by the gods, play a significant role in delaying the travelers. In the Odyssey, after Odysseus and his crew reach Threnakia, strong winds stop them from leaving. Similarly, Minnalaeus finds himself stuck on an island called Ferros when there's no wind. I'm not completely against the idea that there were, in fact, let's say survivors of a pre-catechism that were, in fact, communicating with people and possibly had weather weapons back then that they could manipulate things with, and that would only further deify them in the minds of the people who are now resorted back to more primitive understandings of reality. I'm not saying that didn't happen, but I just think this deification over time is something that happens with leaders, that happens with all kinds of important people, that after warriors, people who've conquested under their belt end up becoming deified over time until you actually lose sight of the actual real person and you're left with the myth of them. And at all, he's trapped there. And that might explain Enki and Lil and all those other people too. They may have been survivors of a cataclysm that either they created or they just survived. Twenty days runs out of food and his men become desperate with hunger. Back on Threnakia, once the crew arrives and settles down for dinner, a huge storm breaks out. This storm is described in a way that's reminiscent of an earlier storm in their journey. These two storms are interconnected in the narrative. The first storm hints that the journey home won't be easy, while the last one foreshadows a tragic end, as many of the crew members never make it home. These fierce winds continue for a month and just like with Menelaus, Odysseus' crew runs out of food and becomes very hungry. With the Exodus story, dramatic weather events believe to be acts of gods are frequently depicted. Examples include a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night guiding the Israelites and the heavy cloud thunder and lightning that surround God's appearance on Mount Sinai. And again, this is the direct reading of these not the cryptic, potentially ritualistic or magical working elements that you find when you apply things like Jamatria and other potential encryptions of these stories. And then when you go back into the rites and rituals of these mystery cults, you start to see evidence of its falling of that type of pattern. But in literal translation doesn't do it justice to really understand what they're discussing. Just before a key moment of rebellion, the Israelites see Moses as he's called by God from a cloud on a mountain. After this, Moses disappears into this cloud, remaining hidden for 40 days. In the expansive Exodus narrative, there's a noticeable trend among followers to distance themselves from their deity. This distancing foreshadows their eventual revolt against the deity and mirrors their inclination to challenge their respective leaders. Both narratives have earlier instances of such defiance, setting the stage for pivotal moments in Odyssey 12 and Odysseus' crew right from the prologue, stressing that they meet their doom due to their own recklessness, even as Odysseus endeavors to rescue them. The fable of the Odyssey illustrates the crew's rebellious nature in three distinct episodes which culminate in a full-blown mutiny in Threnachia. The stop at Ismaros acts as a microcosm of the crew's predisposition towards revolt, setting the scene for the events at Threnachia. Here, after they have plundered the city of the Succonies, Odysseus urges them to depart, yet they remain defiant, choosing to feast by killing numerous sheep and cattle. This decision allows the Succonies to gather reinforcements and launch a retaliatory attack which claims the lives of 72 crew members. Their demise is a direct consequence of their disregard for Odysseus' instructions, combined with their impulsive choice to feast in a potentially hazardous environment. This act of overindulgence and lack of restraint foreshadows their later actions on Threnachia. During their voyage away from Aeolus Island, when they are within sight of Ithaca, a crew member without any solid proof convinces his peers that Odysseus is secretly keeping treasures from them. While Odysseus is asleep, this crew member opens the bag given by Aeolus, releasing stormy winds and sending them back to the island. Much like in Threnachia, a single crew member instigates a rebellion against Odysseus, resulting in the loss of their chance to return home. This rebellion is notably executed while Odysseus is resting, a circumstance that it recurs, and Threnachia. In another foreshadowing instance, Eurylicus tries to discourage the crew from accompanying Odysseus back to Cersei. Even though he's unsuccessful here, Eurylicus positions himself as a representative of dissent, embodying the voice of those who will later rebel in Threnachia. The next significant act of insubordination happens as the crew lands on Threnachia, drawing them closer to Helios' sacred cattle. Both Tereseus and Cersei had cautioned Odysseus against harming these cattle. Some scholars critique the repetitiveness of these warnings, yet few ponder its intentional impact. When Cersei echoes Tereseus' warning, the prohibition against harming the cattle elevates to a divine edict, akin to the biblical command in Genesis forbidding the consumption from the tree of knowledge. In fringing upon such a divine command, usually leads to grave penalties, often death, as exemplified by Lot's wife in the narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah. Aware of these consequences, Odysseus advises against docking at Threnachia. However, Eurylicus disregarding the cautions contends they should eat on the island given their fatigue. Acknowledging the impending mutiny, Odysseus makes the crew swear they won't harm Helios' cattle. In the Exodus narrative, there are previous instances where the Israelites challenge Moses foreshadowing their major uprising in Exodus 3211. Initially, when Moses approaches Pharaoh to request permission for the Israelites to engage in their religious ceremony, Pharaoh retaliates by increasing their workload. Interestingly, the Israelites lay the blame on Moses, not Pharaoh, for their augmented troubles. This marks the inaugural questioning of Moses' leadership, which is a crisis that develops around the challenge to Moses' leadership, in Exodus 5, 20 to 21. When Pharaoh later chases the Israelites to the Red Sea, they again reproach Moses, expressing regret and wishing they had perished in Egypt instead. Upon their arrival at Mara, faced with only bitter waters, their grievances are once more directed at Moses. Notably, while journeying through the wilderness of sin, merely two months after their Egyptian Exodus, their hunger evokes complaints, reminiscent of the crews unrest in Threnachia, they lament. If only we had died at the Lord's hand in Egypt, reset by the fleshpots and had plenty of bread. You have brought us into this wilderness to let this whole assembly starve to death, X is 16-3. Each grievance of the Israelites is reminiscent of the complaints voiced by Odysseus' crew on Threnachia. Okay, we will pick up from where we are right now. Tomorrow is 959. Speak Free Radio.
