I literally looked at about 30 artifacts from Egypt{}, from the Sinai peninsula, that had Hebrew inscriptions on them. So… yes, I did know that God’s name was El Yahweh. And I do know that a people group called the Habiru migrated out of Mesopotamia, into Egypt, and then finally settled into Canaan, after crossing the Red Sea. They created quite a stir, actually, enough for Pharaoh to attack them, and they were probably the same people called the “Sea Peoples” who destroyed the Hittites in the Bronze Age Collapse. I also know that there’s a lot of Egyptian references in the Torah and actual borrowed words from Late Bronze Age Egyptian in it. There’s a lot more than that.
A people group who were passed down a monotheistic culture migrated from Mesopotamia, into Egypt and then codified their religion in Canaan. That is what the evidence suggests. And then kept a concurrent record of all their kings and priests and judges from the time they conquered Canaan, even until this day.
As far as Jesus, the Gospels were written as early as 40AD he died in 31AD. We know this, because Paul accompanied Luke, and Luke met apostles such as Mary and John and Peter, and of course we have Papias telling us who wrote Mark and Matthew from St. John, and various surviving fragments tell is it was Papias who dictated the book from John, like Baruch did Jeremiah.
And the flood, there’s lots of evidence for that. The Bible talks about Pangea and Dinosaurs, and there’s also ancient artefacts that have dinosaurs on them.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
