reference to some kind of lizard that stood 10 stories tall? I would expect something of the following to be included in the scripture:
“ And then Jacob led the Israelites into Egypt due to severe famine that had ravaged their lands in Canaan, as they marched through the desert and upon seeing the fertile lands of Egypt, there was a fucking, great, big Brontosaurus Rex blocking their path.”
Interestingly, the second largest sauropod ever found was discovered at Bahariya Oasis, about 150 miles from Cairo, in 2001. This plant-eating dinosaur was approximately 100 feet long and weighed 70 tons. So yeah – it should have got a mention.
Genesis Count: 30,040,001
Wikipedia estimates the world’s population at the time of the supposed flood, three millennia BCE, to be approximately 30,000,000.
The destruction of the mythical twin-cities of Sodom & Gomorrah is estimated, by Biblical scholars who believe the fable, to include +/- 1,000 inhabitants.
Lot’s wife = 1
A seven year worldwide famine = 40,000
Cumulative Count: 30,040,001
Chapter Two - The Book of Exodus
“ When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself.”
Peter O’Toole
Exodus is the second book of the Jewish Torah and of the Christian Old Testament. It tells how Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness to the Mountain of God, Mount Sinai. There God, through Moses, gives the Israelites their laws and enters into a covenant with them, by which he will give them the land of Canaan in return for their faithfulness. The book ends with the construction of the Tabernacle.
According to tradition, Exodus and the other four books of the Torah were written by Moses in the latter half of the 2nd millennium BC. But the character Moses is certainly one of fiction. Thus, even if the following events were factually true, they were recorded nearly 3,000 years after the purported events.
Exodus is not a historical document in the true scheme of things. It has never been proven archaeologically and, more significantly, the story has never been concurred by Egyptian history which has one of the longest recorded documented histories of any civilization, nor has it been validated by any other external historical records. The story is simply a myth, like the fable that President Reagan ended the Soviet Union. Egypt being one of the primary storage centers of ancient history has no recording of a character named Moses, nor is there any evidence that suggests the Israelites ever lived or worked as slaves under Pharaoh rule. We also know that the events that took place, as claimed by Exodus, occurred centuries before they were written about and with legend of hearsay and good ole ‘Chinese whispers’, we can feel safe in our educated assertion that the story of Exodus is pure fantasy.
What is further perplexing and problematic for religious scholars, however, is the question, “Where did the nation of Egypt come from?” In the generations before or after Noah the Bible makes no mention of such a place with Pharaoh Kings. And if there was an Egypt prior to the flood, then why weren’t they all killed? This nation and their people literally pop up out of nowhere, with no chronology.
The Slavery of The Israelites in Egypt
The story claims that after such time that Joseph and his brothers had died, the Israelite population in Egypt had grown significant, so that “the land was filled with them.” Then a new Pharaoh came to power and fearing that the Jews had become too numerous in his land, and concerned that one day their rising numbers would have the strength to take control of Egypt, the Pharaoh empowered slave masters over the Israelites forcing them into slave labor. The greater the Israelites numbered, the greater the Egyptians came to despise them and subsequently worked them tirelessly and ruthlessly, with all
