Who Invented 'Moses'? by Rossikk(m): 1:46am On Mar 12, 2015
"There is no historical evidence outside of the Bible, no mention of Moses outside the Bible, and no independent confirmation that Moses ever existed."

Dr. Michael D. Coogan, lecturer on the Old Testament at Harvard Divinity School



"We cannot be sure that Moses ever lived because there are no traces of his earthly existence outside of tradition."

Egyptologist Dr. Jan Assmann, 'Moses the Egyptian'



"The life of Moses contains elements—canonical and apocryphal—that mark him as a true mythic hero, and certainly he is Judaism’s greatest hero and the central figure in Hebrew mythology."

Dr. David Leeming, The Oxford Companion to World Mythology


"…the stories of the creation, of the flood, of Abraham, of Jacob, of the descent into and the exodus from Egypt, of the career of Moses and the Jews in the desert, of Joshua and his soldiers, of the judges and their clients, are all apocryphal, and were fabricated at a late period of Jewish history."

Dr. Thomas Inman, 'Ancient Faiths and Modern'




"The existence of Moses as well as the veracity of the Exodus story is disputed amongst archaeologists and Egyptologists, with experts in the field of biblical criticism citing logical inconsistencies, new archaeological evidence, historical evidence and related origin myths in Canaanite culture." — "Moses," Wikipedia

ARCHEOLOGISTS AGREE: MOSES NEVER EXISTED.

The main book of Judaism, called the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, "OT"wink is filled with stories of a man called Moses, the story of Exodus and the persecution of Jews by an Egyptian king who allegedly enslaved them.

The Torah is obvious mythology. The fact that it is fiction is obvious from Book 1, Page 1. The Earth is not 4000 years old. Cultures (unknown to the scribes) flourished much before. Written records and archeological evidence using carbon dating show man's presence tens of thousands of years ago, probably over a 100,000 years ago. A million people cannot live in a vast desert (without water or food) in a hostile nation for 40 years--and leave no trace.

The techniques of higher criticism showed that the Old Testament was weaved together out of four source documents and was produced much later than claimed.

See "The Forgery of the Old Testament" by Joseph McCabe:

http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/jo...

Also see: "The age of Reason", Thomas Paine, in which Paine labels the OT as "spurious."

Furthermore, archaelogical and historical evidence has proven Moses, Exodus, Abraham, Joshua, King David, etc. to be basically myths copied from African and Eastern/Middle Eastern cultures.

For eg., according to Prof. Ze'ev Herzog who teaches in the Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University, in "Deconstructing the Walls of Jericho", states as follows:

"This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is the fact that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom...... Most of those who are engaged in scientific work in the interlocking spheres of the Bible, archaeology and the history of the Jewish people - and who once went into the field looking for proof to corroborate the Bible story - now agree that the historic events relating to the stages of the Jewish people's emergence are radically different from what that story tells." (in an article in the Jewish magazine Haaretz, as republished on):

So, all these experts who have spent years studying and researching the history are all ruled by "satan" while an ignorant, mentally lazy dunce like you who knows only what his money-hungry pastor told him, is the one we should listen to?

Spare me your babylon bullshiit. Use your brain here or take a hike. The 'west' that taught you this stuff are the same 'west' that are now telling you it was all made-up crap. But you're too brainwashed by their original indoctrination to see the light.
Re: Who Invented 'Moses'? by johnydon22(m): 10:58pm On Mar 12, 2015
The story of moses being put in a basket then set adrift in a river is just a reworking of a similar story of Sagon an ancient king of Akkad that has been told thousands of years before the moses fable found only in the bible and no other source... is that not strange..a story as juicy as moses tale have no other historical mentions except in the torah a jewish inspired conpiled mythology.. makes sense..

Ignorant cow, the "early men of the west'' merely regurgitated older stories from older civilizations and passed them off as their own. That is what their current descendants are telling you, but you are too brainwashed and dumb to re-examine your beliefs.
