Ancient Greece ended in 323 bce.

Look up the Septuagint. It's the oldest EXISTING (means there were versions written before) Greek version of the Bible. Written sometime between the 3rd and 2nd bce.

Did you read what I posted?

Here it is again:
Ancient Greece ended in 323 bce.

That is the 4th century BCE.

Yeah, did you read what I said? The oldest EXISTING was written between 300 and 200 bce. That means there were copies written before.

Do you have any concept of what the term BCE means? Apparently, you don't!

I showed Ancient Greece ended in 323 BCE. That means it ceased to exist before your "Bible" was translated. 323 BCE is before 300 and 200 BCE.

What part of the oldest EXISTING Bible escapes your grasp, you retard. The oldest EXISTING Bible was written sometime between 300 (that's 23 years after your benchmark) and 200 bce. That means there were translations long before that, that either did not survive, or haven't been found yet.

You are amazingly obtuse for a so called educator.

Where is your proof of these non-existent translations? I could just as easily say that the Bible was first translated by dinosaurs! Neither of them exist anymore.

All you have is a ******* theory! Was the Bible translated by the Babylonians? Egyptian put it in heiroglyphs?

The first problem is your definition of "bible"! You do know the root word for "bible", right?

The fact that there is at least 800 years of Greek literature missing from the world. Written ANYTHING from that long ago is exceedingly rare. The belief that this is the first is moronic. We KNOW that millions of works have been destroyed in the various wars mankind has engaged in over the millenia.

It takes a simpleton to ignore that.

Nice theory. It may have some validity, but that does not make your statement true. Again, you are assuming with no proof!

"Yale-Educated Lupita Nyong’o Admits She Never Heard of ‘The Odyssey’ Before Helen of Troy Casting
View attachment 1263275
Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o has admitted that before being cast as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of the 2,800-year-old Greek classic The Odyssey, she had never even heard of the epic story, despite having graduated from Yale University.

“I really had no idea what The Odyssey was,” she told Elle Magazine. “I was like, ‘oh, snap, I don’t know the first thing about this.’ So it was a crash course. I picked up the books and read them immediately. I have this film to thank for my Greek mythological education.”

The admission is startling considering the fact that she is a graduate of one of America’s most elite universities. The actress — born to Kenyan parents in Mexico, then raised in Kenya — graduated from Hampshire College with a theater degree, then went to Yale in 2009 and obtained a master’s degree in acting in 2012. She also attended several high-status colleges in Kenya."

Lupita Nyong'o has admitted that before being cast as Helen of Troy, she had never heard of "The Odyssey," despite having graduated from Yale University.

Imagine going to an Ivy League university and never hearing about Homer or the Odyssey. This is a perfect example of how dumbed down American education has become.

Racist much? Quoting a Breitbart racist hit piece about a Hollywood movie based on an ancient myth. Why?

Imagine attending an Ivy League University and not studying Greek Mythology? Who would do such a thing???

You people are losing what passes for your mind.

They taught us that in High School

You sure it wasn’t Hollywood that taught you about it?

I never learned about it high school. I learned about Helen of Troy at the movies.

You were poorly educated, but we already knew that.

Rizzo was not the mayor; Good was the mayor. You are trying to frame a White man.

Did Candy ever admit she was wrong? It definitely was Goode who authorized it.

Probably not. That would take character.

Sounds like your parents prepared for good careers.

Not if we have 75% of the college graduates “educated” in liberal arts majors that prepare one to work at Starbucks and qualify for food stamps.

What benefits the whole community is having a populace educated in roles that allow them to be self-sufficent (be it though a career-oriented major or a vocational program). Two of my friends each have daughters who majored is sociology, and are now still living at home, supported by their parents, at age 30.

Sure...

Your imaginary friends are getting more and more comical everyday.

This is a bomb in the making. Helen of TRoy was not black. The clothes they are using are inaccurate for the time. The actors speak in modern vernacular that going to come off as funny. And Achilles who never was in the Oddest is played by 105 pound girl who is a trans male. Woke BS get rerady for the next bomb.

This is one hyper woke flick.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Any educated person would have heard of one of the world’s most famous classics. And prior to 1990, any high school kid would have heard of it as well.

And I’m not sure why you’re bringing in racial events.

What they want to be rid of is Western Civilization. The history, literature, all of it replace it with grievance culture..

Just don't mention that Britian was a Roman slave colony.

The Smithsonian has turned negative on America, too, downplaying the role of the founding fathers, emphasizing “racial hierarchies”, and defending their “whiteness” exhibits.

You can thank the leftists on the Board of Directors. The last thing they want is for anyone to be proud of America.
