Camel bones suggest error in Bible, archaeologists say

I can't remember if camels are mentioned in the time of Abraham or we just think they were from movie depictions.



Camel bones suggest error in Bible, archaeologists say



Archaeologists from Israel’s top university have used radiocarbon dating to pinpoint the arrival of domestic camels in the Middle East -- and they say the science directly contradicts the Bible’s version of events.

Camels are mentioned as pack animals in the biblical stories of Abraham, Joseph and Jacob, Old Testament stories that historians peg to between 2000 and 1500 BC. But Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen of Tel Aviv University's Department of Archaeology and Near Eastern Cultures say camels weren’t domesticated in Israel until centuries later, more like 900 BC.

'This anachronism is direct proof that the [Bible's] text was compiled well after the events it describes.'

“In addition to challenging the Bible's historicity, this anachronism is direct proof that the text was compiled well after the events it describes,” reads a press release announcing the research.

To find the first camel, Sapir-Hen and Ben-Yosef used radiocarbon dating to analyze the oldest known camel bones in the Arabian Peninsula, found at the remains of a copper smelting camp in the Aravah Valley, which runs along the border with Jordan from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea.

The bones were in archaeological layers dating from the last third of the 10th century BC or later — centuries after the patriarchs lived and decades after the Kingdom of David, according to the Bible, the researchers said. The few camel bones found in earlier archaeological layers probably belonged to wild camels, which archaeologists think lived there during the Neolithic period or even earlier.

Notably, all the sites active in the 9th century in the Arava Valley had camel bones, but none of the sites that were active earlier contained them.

Qur'an 86:7 says that sperm originates from the backbones and the ribs, a theory similiar to another erroneous theory proposed by Hippocrates in 5th century BC (1000 years before Islam). Hippocrates taught that semen comes from all the fluid in the body, diffusing from the brain into the spinal marrow, before passing through the kidneys and via the testicles into the penis ....

See just how idiotic the 7c arab's were believing that when the rest of civilisation already knew were semen came from.

Camels look good in Biblical epics.

It points to Genesis and Exodus being written AFTER camels were domesticated.

If you read the article carefully, it says that earlier camel bones were found, but they were probably wild camels. Why make that assumption? This is not conclusive proof that there were no domesticated camels around during the time of Abraham.

The Bible's all true. Any claim to the contrary and we'll squish your heads (holds up thumb and forefinger menacingly.) Squish. Squish. I'm squishing your head!

"from Egypt, a camel skull from the Fayum, “Pottery A” stage of occupation, within circa 2000-1400; from Byblos, a figurine of a kneeling camel, hump and load now missing (originally fixed by a tenon), about nineteenth/eighteenth century; from Canaan, a camel jaw from a Middle Bronze tomb at Tell el-Far’ah North, circa 1900/1550; from north Syria, a cylinder seal of the eighteenth century (of deities on a camel), in the Walters Art Gallery; and from mentions of the camel in the Sumerian lexical work HAR.ra-hubullu, going back in origin to the early second millennium"
Camels in Genesis

Or the story was altered to include camels that everyone knew about, and not some exotic animal that the world did not know about. Haw many people have seen or even heard of the South American camel

 

[Truthmatters]

pretending that anything written by man is infallible is silly

 

[Big Black Dog]

Was the camel a "one humper" or a "two humper"? Could make a big difference.

Camels existed in egypt and were given to Abraham while he was there.

No bones?? maybe a dog or lion ate them. Certainly they would not have been found among the Israel village's garbage pits. Not part of the jewish diet.

Camels also existed in North America millions of years ago. Because of weather changes, many animals disappeared like the camels, the saber toothed tigers and the wooly mammoths.

Some of the bible maybe based on history of the time within a very general sense. That's the only small use to it in reality.

 

[Snouter]

The six main authors who are responsible for their Torah by borrowing and adapting more ancient mythology of the past assembled their Torah between 800 and 400 BCE. And because of edits the age of their adaptations of various myths varies. For example their adaptation of the creation myth in Genesis was around 400 BCE while some of the Moses and Joshua nonsense was finalized before 721 BCE when the House of Israel was ended forever by Yahweh allowing them to be carried away and assimilated.

More importantly - how many toes did they have?

Further proof that men think with their penis. LOL

Abraham was from Ur, which is near present day Baghdad, not from Israel, which didn't even exist at the time. So what is the relevance here?
