Both and neither. If there is a "single source" it would be exceedingly ancient and somewhat immaterial at this point. Cosmic myths are semi-living and fluid. When a cosmic event occurs it becomes part of the myth. Different cultures interpret the event according to how it effected their...

I will go one further and claim they all had the same basic cosmic myth on which their religions were based.

There was no queen. It is like trying to name King Arthur's horse.

I cannot accept your source if your never quote one. I have reread your posts and the only source you use is the Bible to prove the Bible (circular logic). Even those people you quote, you never give them any credit. For example you have this gem "According to the OT, the original Nephilim...

Normally that would be the case. Except in this one the pharaoh was Senuseret III who already had a great reputation as a conqueror, having taken Ethiopia. He records a conquest in Ephraim (Gezer) which is speculated to have been some sort of vendetta. He went there, conquered it and then left...

You quote the Bible as a reference and claim my sources are "old." I don't accept the idea modern theologians and their biblical dating of the text. Like I said, the four rivers were added later to the text. Even if the rivers were in the text it still does not mean the author simply used the...

Are you writing tongue-in-cheek as to suppose the Bible is not Political propaganda? I would agree with your assertion, now why would they NOT report something that made them look good? Seems to me if the idea is to glorify the pharaoh, then its lack of reporting is even more suspect that there...

I apologize if you consider it an attack. That is not my intent. One of yhe Midrash states Noah was castrated. This corresponds to other myths. You have cited no source for your Nephilim assertion. You have yet to poke one hole.

From what I can tell, you have a bunch of cosmic myths there. I don't see the mystery.

There is no archaelogical evidence an Iron Age United Monarachy even existed, let alone a queen who visited one. Queen Sobeknefru or Nefrusobek the sister-wife of Amenemhet IV could have been contemporaries of Hammurabi, a wise parable writer who happened to rule the great Canaanite city...

My theory claims the original text came EB III and that the Bible was a living document. No one agrees Noah was real and lived 600 years and there was a flood. Astral theology changes from OT to NT in the Bible due to Greek syncretism. The basic ideas of Bullinger (who you quote without...

My theory contends that the first manuscript for the Bible was written circa 2218-2000 BCE. The satellite image does not indicate when the text was written and is of no consequence. Dilmun was known as “the Land of Eternal Life” and was the Eden, or “paradise”, of the Babylonians.[2] Dilmun...

I would contend the rivers which surrounded Eden are late entries. Dilmun was the original location of the Eden wriiten about in the Bible. The story comes from a similar Sumerian myth. Dilmun was a world power circa 2500 BCE. and its economy dominated that region as evidenced by the Ebla texts.

The story of the Queen of Sheba has the distinct flavor of "urban legend." Most likely it was a popular myth incorporated into a story of Solomon.

The Nephilim were added to the story of Noah to justify YHWH's destruction of the earth. I would contend they were not in the original text. The word is from the Chaldean word for the constellation of Orion which is Niphla which means "the mighty." In Hebrew lore one of the fallen angels...

A pig may have more in common with a human than an ape where you are at, but not where I am from. The problem I have with "intelligent design" is the lack of intelligence that is sometimes exhibited. Vestiges for example. Why would a designer give 5% or 10% of a species a piece of a muscle or...

Marsh, In Acts the apostles sold all their goods and gave it to the poor as they expected their converts to do. This they did because it was what they believed Jesus expected us all do. As you can see this didn't last too long as it failed to convert the wealthy and powerful. As such I...

The right way is never the easy way if you work for the governement. You are so hampered by regulations. Our slogan has become, "It is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission."
