I am now going to change the format of these pages.
The story leading up to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as
it is told in Sitchins books reveals certain facts that lead
up to the true story of Moses. It provides the time line of
the second rise of the city of Ur.
We will look at the conflicting evidence of the Area of the
site of Sodom and Gomorrah. At the point where I left off, I
claimed that the Dead Sea did not exist as it is now. There is no
mention of it in the Bible up to this point. The area is
described as a fertile plain with rivers. In 'Anchor Stones'site,
Ron Wyatt mentions that bitumen was one of the area�s money
making businesses in the area where the Dead Sea lies now.
The latest Archaeology finds are two to three possible cities
lying under the Deadsea. Also in the area is massive evidence of
an Atomic explosion. The kind of evidence that can only be
recognized since we ourselves have used atomic bombs. That is;
large area�s of fused glass, and radioactive evidence in the
area. Add to that the story of Lots wife where she turns into a
pillar of salt. There are only 2 natural substances in nature
that melt; snow and salt. In this area you don�t have snow but
you would know about salt. To describe a body as melting from an
atomic blast or disappearing in some manner you may use the
simile of a pillar of salt. There are no strange miracles only
natural events that are turned into miracles because we don�t
know the science behind it.
In Sitchin�s book,'Genesis Revisited', he mentions that one of
the �Gods� destroyed Ur at this time by using an Atomic weapon.
This is the 1st destruction of Ur. This may have coincided with
the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Since the
destruction of 2 cities mentioned does not account for the entire
loss of all the cities of destruction that took out everyone
living in the area, so that this same large plain of cities became
a wasteland. That destruction was caused by the wind blowing the
fallout in that direction. Time did the rest. No one would have
set foot in the area for a long time.
Sitchin also claims, (and gives proof in pictures)of another area
of destruction along the same lines, in the area of Sinai,
where he claims the space port of the Annunaki was situated.
Since the prevailing winds in winter and summer flow down from
Russia across the area of Ur, through the area of Sodom and
Gomorrah, across the �Sinai� towards the present Egypt, they would
carry the atomic particles and death.
I am sure Abraham would have been aware of this. And if so would
have warned his offspring not to go in that direction. It is
not until the time of a great famine that they go to �Egypt�.
At this point we have to ask ourselves where Abraham's offspring
were really living! They were sheepherders! The Nile Valley
is not and was not an area of Shepherding. Nor is the Arabian
peninsula today. What it was at that time we don�t know. Nor do
we know at this time (except for these words in the Bible) if
the present Nile Valley was known then as a supplier of Wheat to
the world that would make Joseph's family go down there. What
Abraham's family would have known from him is that Ur was fertile
and rich and suitable for sheep and all other grazing animals.
Would they have known of the destruction of Ur? Also by the
time of Joseph would Ur have been habitable again? And would
Shepherd Kings have moved into the dead city and taken it over?
It is less than 60 years since Hiroshima and it is back as a
city. I believe they did. It was too vital an area for the trade
to the east and South to go unsettled forever.
It was there at Ur that Joseph was taken and Sold!
Archaeologists use three methods of tracking ancient peoples.
1.Pottery, 2.Weaving,3.language or writing. No matter how hard
they try, they cannot find any evidence of the unique pottery
style, weaving, or language of the Israelites in Egypt of that time.
You do not live with people and work with them, even as a slave
without picking up words and incorporating them into your own
language. Nor do women who weave and make pottery not learn
from each other and pick up idea's from other people.
However, they have traced those same things to Mesopotamia and
environs (Ur) for the Israelites style of weaving,pottery making and
language. Recently they have discovered evidence of a huge site
of an Israelite community in Ur from that time period, with a crude
form of alter sites within this community.
Their efforts to create a history of the Jewish presence in
Egypt with some statue of some official does not work for me.
