After the time of Joseph the Hebrews were made slaves. The Bible
records them as making bricks from clay. For over 250+ years
they made bricks and built. Only in Ur was massive building with
bricks going on. At the present there is a claim by Archaeologists
in Egypt that they have discovered 2 or 3 brick buildings in
the Nile Delta, which they have claimed as the cities built by
the Jews! They are not vast enough to have claimed the length
of time and manpower that was involved. The Hebrews were in Ur at
least 150 years before they became slaves. Also they have a long
memory of slavery and yet there is a record of them in later days
when they were in Palestine of them going to the Egypt of the
Nile to release Egyptians from slavery. It would never have happened!
Not unless these Egyptians were not the ones of thier bondage! They
did not recieve the name of Egyptians until after the time of the
Hyksos who were from the "Egypt" of Ur.
Ur was a large city built entirely of Bricks! Because that was
the material that they had to use. There was no stone, or marble
nearby. And the main structure, according to Leonard Whoolly
was a feat of engineering. I doubt that they built it with volunteers.
There is another point to consider. The total wipe out of the
name of this city of Ur! Only fear of the Gods would do that. This
would be the second time the city was destroyed by the Gods. And even
if it was the action the second time, of a clash between Mars and Venus
and the Earth, the people would still blame the Gods and be afraid.
If we follow the story in the Bible from the point of view of Ur
being the city of the Exodus then it begins to make sense.
We will start with the two problems. 1. How many slaves there
were at this time. 2. Where were they located.
1. It claims that there were more Israilites than Egyptians
when they went into Slavery! That doesn�t make much sense from
the point of view of the Nile of today. They had huge cities all
up and down the Nile valley. And as you will see later on at the
time of the Exodus the slaves could not have been scattered all
up and down the Nile Valley and still left at the same time from
one area or congregated in one mass to leave a land called "Egypt"
That doesn't make sense. And if they were slaves of the Egyptians
then they surely would have been all up and down the land. So how
could they have had time to move from the entire Nile Valley to
join the Exodus! They would have had to have phones to get
together in the time they had according to the Bible.
2. Where indeed! The earliest years of the Nile Valley are located
far up the Nile where the great temples were built. When the Nile
river swelled and inundated the land all the way along the Nile, I
am sure the delta lands would have been even more uninhabitable.
The problem stems from dating of the Exodus. If as I claim it took
place before the time of the Hyksos,(1700B.C.) then Cairo may have
been the largest northern city and Ramses came long after, then
built on a changed delta.
Why would they have kept slaves only in one area? Would they not
have spread them up and down the length of the Nile? Sold them to
whoever was building or living along the river. If so, then how
did they all gather in one place for the Exodus in three days? Those
days when Moses was exhorting the king to let them go? Were some of
them left behind? And yet the Bible gives the impression they were
all in one area during the passover. One large city! A concentrated
group! Yet nothing around Cairo or the delta has large edifices built
of brick. 250 years of brickmaking builds a lot. And yet the city
of Ur was massive and spread over the Delta, with other cities not
far away. All built of Bricks!
It talks about the �Sea Of Reeds� that they had to cross when they
first left bondage.
The biggest �Sea of Reeds� lies at the mouth of the Euphrates
river. Did then and still does. They had a hard time finding a sea
of reeds in Egypt. Especially one that takes a direct route to anywhere.
The Exodus describes them as leaving with thousands of animals
and half a million Jews as well as a large number of other people.
And don't forget that when counting the women and children were
never counted. Only the men.
I will add all that onto the real story of Moses.
The setting is Ur. Moses is the baby found in a basket on the
Euphrates River and raised by the �Pharoh�s daughter. The Nile has
crocodiles in it. No mother would have set a baby adrift in a basket
on the Nile. However the Euphrates has no Crocs. The child found in
a basket in Ur is older than the story of the Egyptian child. When
Moses is thrown out of �Egypt�(UR)he makes his way to the land of
Midian. There has always been a problem finding where Midian is located.
Again we run into this problem of sheep and where they are raised
in large numbers. It has never been claimed that Midian was in the
area above the Suez Canal. Or what is the lower area of Palestine.
Nor could it have been in the area of the Sinai. Goats survive there
but there is not and has never been enough grazing land for large
herds of sheep. Nor can the setting have been the area of the
Jordan and the area of the Dead Sea. How can he have walked alone
all the way to the lower Arabian pininsula? And lived! Also
that is not sheep grazing land. At least not now. And remember, the
Sinai and Dead Sea area had been devistated by the Atomic blasts
and never recovered.
But if he had been running away from Ur to the South, that would have
been an area that may have supported sheep at one time. In fact they
are now finding out that the area of Arabia had rivers, lakes and was
the breadbasket of the east before the Exodus events ruined it and made
it barren. And there is also a large,(maybe extinct volcano) mountain in
this area. He could not have been too far away from Ur.(Egypt)
During the days before the Exodus the entire world experienced chaos
from the battle in space between Mars and Venus, (see Velakovsky�s,
'Worlds In Collision'). Many cities suffered destruction but none
of the huge cities dissappeared from the memory of man except Ur.
The only place in all of history that recorded it was the Bible.
Why? The present Egypt has one story of destruction but no loss of a
major city! None that disappeared from memory. What was so different
about Ur? It was cursed twice. Once by the Alien Annunaki, and once
by an even higher power or fate.
I�d like to make a few observations about the seven plagues that
descended on the area of Ur and also as far down as Egypt. The
first one was blood. If, as Velakovsky claims, the passage of
Venus as a comet passed by and destroyed Mars, would it have drawn
life off of the planet into space and into the attraction of it�s
tail? What happens to bodies out in space? They explode! Losing
their blood. That would mean millions of bodies of people and
animals. And would that have been spread over Earth in the wake of
the tail of the comet? The Bible said it was blood. Not red dirt.
Not flowers or pollen. Not from Earth.
And it acted like blood; unpalatable, undrinkable. It made people
and cattle and animals sick. Just what you would expect from blood
from a strange race not of earth. However it also acted as a
breeding ground for disease and insects and frogs. In other words
it was not mineral but animal blood. Or human. And it came from the
sky. The other plagues followed from that. (in the main book I give
evidence of bodies recorded falling from the sky at this time.)
If the Israilites were leaving Ur, they would not have gone to
the South to Midian. Moses would not have taken trouble to his
father-in-law�s area. He would have taken them where he knew there
would be fodder for his animals. That would have been towards
the east. Probably towards the Vale of Kashmir or up into Persia.
That would take them across the �Sea of Reeds� at the mouth of the
Euphrates, along the coastline of the Persion Gulf. One of the things
you don�t learn from the Bible is time spans for events. All you read
is the physical events. However one only has to deal with the reality
of human behaviour to see the truth.
Moses left Ur with well over a million people and over a million
animals. How fast is he moving? How far can he get? When did the
Pharoh follow him?
The last question is the most important. We know three things
about Moses. He can�t move fast with all that baggage. He can�t
get too far. And since they are a tribe they will not disperse
all over the place. So Pharoh can take his time going after him.
And time is what he needs.
There is also another factor to consider; the events taking place
out in space. The destruction of Ur (Egypt) took place during the
first collision between Mars, Venus and Earth. I believe the next
event took place on its final pass close to the Earth. Almost 9-12
months later. By then they would have reached the area opposite
Bahrain. We do not know if the Persian Gulf was the same then
as it is now. That is; after the events of the destruction of the
Pharoh�s army. What we do know is the Archaeological evidence is
telling us that the Persian Gulf area on the Arabian side of the
Gulf was a fertile land that was destroyed at this time.
Knowing he had time, the Pharoh would have time to look to his city
and people while he sent out a call all over his kingdom for his
army. He would have needed everyone he could muster in order to
recapture that many people. He would have to figure a battle with
them. And you don�t usually have all your troops in the City! The
concept that he rushed headlong after Moses is ridiculous.
After seeing to the burials and problems that came after the Exodus,
he would have left with every healthy man old enough to bear arms.
And also every charriot that could move. Leaving the city almost
empty of males! Now think about that! Evidently Archaeologists and
religious writers don�t have the minds of a general or a King. Or
the ability to look at reality. There is nothing in the bible to
contradict these statements.
When the entire army following the Hebrew was destroyed so was every
son, father, husband, and brother lost to the people back home! Leaving
the city empty of all males except those who for one reason or another
were left behind. (continued in Moses 3.)
NOTE; One of the strangest things about the story of the Exodus is the
unreality of the events that no one seems to notice? 1.Within a three day
period all the Hebrew in Egypt are to leave. Yet,Egypt stretches for miles
and how would they get that news all up and down the river? 2. Moses first
takes them across a sea of reeds. This is supposed to be located at the
Northern end of the Red sea between Egypt and Sinai. They then cross back
over the Red Sea back into Egypt when God parts the waters to escape
Pharoh's army. But in order to do that they would then be going back into
the land of Egypt!!!!!!! That does not make any sense! And the so called
experts know it and are ignoring it. They dare not argue with the Jews
about their history.
