Perhaps it is appropriate that by the end of this month we will have another Indiana Jones movie – the fifth and probably the last. Archaeologists have discovered a 3,000-year-old lost city that some have thought was just legend. This is the largest city ever discovered called "The Rise of Aten," which was unearthed by a team of archeologists led by Zahi Hawass under the sand on the western bank of Luxor, about 300 miles south of Cairo. I made that trip to Luxor and trekked through the Valley of the Kings across the river. It was about 125 degrees that day, and while a group all fly down to Luxor from Cairo. I was the only one who left the hotel to venture to the tombs. I walked down into the tomb of King Tut, and it was amazing. Once inside, it was cool. So I appreciate how grueling it is to dig in the sand in search of something in such heat.
The archaeologists first excavated the site in September 2020 in an attempt to search for King Tut's mortuary temple. They soon uncovered mud brick formations that turned out to be a large city dating to the golden age of pharaohs 3,000 years ago. The preservation was incredible. Not only were the walls almost complete, but there were rooms filled with tools of daily life.
The city was founded by King Amenhotep III, the ninth king of the 18th dynasty who ruled from 1391 to 1353 BC. The city was active during the king's co-regency with his son, Amenhotep IV, who changed his name to Akhenaten, meaning devoted to the sun. Akhenaten abandoned his name, but also his religion, and his capital in Thebes (modern Luxor). Akhenaten built the short-lived city of Akhetaten, where he ruled alongside his wife, Nefertiti (her bust survives in the Berlin Museum), and worshipped the sun.
After his death, his young son Tutankhamun became ruler of Egypt and turned his back on his father’s controversial legacy. It has been a mystery why Akhenaten abandon Thebes, which had been the capital of ancient Egypt for more than 150 years. Climate change was starting at this time, and about 100 years later, we have the invasion of the Sea Peoples driven by the cold weather in the north. But this seems to be some sort of religious upheaval.
Then there is Dr. Daniel Mansfield and his team at the University of New South Wales in Australia. They have just made an incredible discovery while translating a 3,700-year-old Babylonian tablet. What they discovered was that the Babylonians were doing trigonometry long before the Greeks. Most historians have always credited the Greeks with creating the study of triangles' sides and angles. This tablet presents indisputable proof that the Babylonians were using the technique 1,500 years before the Greeks.
Consequently, the debt cancellation practice began in Mesopotamia and can be traced back to 2400 BC, extending into 1400 BC. The noted historian on this subject, Michael Hudson, I believe is absolutely correct when he states that general debt cancellation was one of the principal characteristics of Bronze Age societies in Mesopotamia. There were numerous debt cancellations in the Mesopotamian cities that used the words for these debt forgiveness decrees or cancellations such as amargi in Lagash (Sumer), nig-sisa in Ur, andurarum in Ashur, misharum in Babylon, shudutu in Nuzi.

People have often asked about the Jewish practice of debt forgiveness. That too has been proven to have preexisted and dates back even before Babylon. Debt cancellation or forgiveness actually was a tradition that began under the Sumerian rule in Mesopotamia. The Jewish tradition appears to have been adopted by the Sumerians. Do not forget that Abraham came from the Sumerian city of Ur, located in southern Iraq today. Therefore, he would have grown up with that tradition. It appears that so much knowledge existed from the time of the Sumerians, which has not been fully credited nor explored.
There is so much knowledge of cycles, the planets, and comets that existed long before the Greeks. This Babylonian tablet recorded Haley's Comet. It was the Babylonians who embarked on a major correlation study plotting everything against everything else and came up with Astrology.
Additionally, the latest issue concerns material that arises on the black market rather than from an archaeological dig. For example, during the first Gulf War in Iraq, the bombings uncovered a city previously unknown. The archives of all the text appeared on the black market. Academics boycott such things rather than try to save them. Private people use private funds for research and treat the subject as if it were a Communistic state where only they should have such cache to play with. This is something I seriously disagree with, for there are never public funds available for such projects.

Encore: Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse!
by Anthony Migchels | September 20, 2019
Moses outright claims to have brutally attacked the Canaanite Kingdoms and Hittite Empire. His description of how he and his men killed everything that moved, fits the description of what 'science' knows about how the era ended.
Not only that: the successor political entities, around 1000 BC in Canaan are the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Clearly they were the victors of the previous carnage, otherwise they wouldn't have existed.
If the above is true, and the facts seem basically self-evident, than we are talking about quite a major scientific breakthrough. Astounding really. Israel caused the Bronze Age Collapse! That's quite something, whatever way you look at it!
Not only that: it's really a stunning, absolutely shocking validation of the Torah…………..
How is it even possible that people, both scientists and the religious, have been overlooking this connection for so long, while the facts seem so much to speak for themselves?!

How is it even possible that people, both scientists and the religious, have been overlooking this connection for so long, while the facts seem so much to speak for themselves?!
The Strategic Situation
Above is the map 1177 BC. Have a close look, it's from wikipedia, so we're just reporting mainstream history here. This is what is known of the attacks of the so called 'Sea People'.
As we can see, Canaan was dominated by Egypt in the South, and the Hittites in the North. The main campaign seems to have taken place in the North of the Levant, the South of the Hittite Empire. And they were just demolished. Also note, that there were a number of attacks in Greece and Crete, but these are attributed to the Dorians by Wiki, and not claimed by Moses. There were also attacks in Mesopotamia, ruled by the Assyrians. Wiki does not mention the perpetrators, and Moses does not claim these attacks, it seems. The Greek States collapsed, and the Assyrians were never the same. The same is true of Egypt.
What we can clearly see, is that the heart of the war was the North of Canaan, and the South of the Hittite Empire, and this basically completely validates Moses’ account.
The Mainstream Status Quo
Now let us read what Wiki has to say about the Bronze Age Collapse:
"The Late Bronze Age collapse involved a Dark Age transition period in the Near East, Asia Minor, the Aegean region, North Africa, Caucasus, Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age, a transition which historians believe was violent, sudden, and culturally disruptive. The palace economy of the Aegean region and Anatolia that characterised the Late Bronze Age disintegrated, transforming into the small isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark Ages. The half-century between c. 1200 and 1150 BC saw the cultural collapse of the Mycenaean kingdoms, of the Kassite dynasty of Babylonia, of the Hittite Empire in Anatolia and the Levant, and of the Egyptian Empire;[1] the destruction of Ugarit and the Amorite states in the Levant, the fragmentation of the Luwian states of western Asia Minor, and a period of chaos in Canaan.[2] The deterioration of these governments interrupted trade routes and severely reduced literacy in much of the known world.[3] In the first phase of this period, almost every city between Pylos and Gaza was violently destroyed, and many abandoned, including Hattusa, Mycenae, and Ugarit.[4]
According to Robert Drews:
Within a period of forty to fifty years at the end of the thirteenth and the beginning of the twelfth century almost every significant city in the eastern Mediterranean world was destroyed, many of them never to be occupied again.[5]”
As we can see, the brutality that Moses mentions, is also described by Wiki: these flames representing the battles, show cities that were just entirely annihilated, genocided, wiped out. Exactly as Moses describes.
Here is again Moses:
"When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
Some names of tribes are different, but the Amorites and the Hittites are mentioned by both Wiki and Moses.
And the next political map we know of is looking like this:
Again, this map of Canaan in 1000 BC.
