think about what must have been happening along the upper Nile about 5000 years ago. modern Ethiopia? follow the etymology of the word itself...

African civilization came first. This has to be at the root of all anthropology.

Mister Speaker posted:

Can you elaborate on this? I know it's a myth but what do you mean specifically by 'bronze age propaganda'?

It's a re-historicization of how Ethiopian (upper Nile) peoples were displaced by North African/Arab (lower Nile) by means of war, trade, immigration, etc.

occurred maybe 5000-2500 BCE.

Egyptian Old Kingdom starts around the end of that time, more or less.

the Sphinx was modeled after Khufre, circa 3000 BCE.

his African nose was destroyed by the later masters of the Egyptian kingdom. Napoleon only wished he could have done it.

the jews are actually just canaanites and they weren't even a thing when the pyramids were being built. there are some fibs in the bibel

I found the following explanation amusing, though idgaf about "biblical history" until the Incarnation.

The chariot nobles who ruled the Canaanite city states had long been oppressing the nomads and peasants of the surrounding hills and deserts. Many ended up leading a bandit existence dodging the chariots. The politics of city states dominated by overbearing aristocrats being what it is, ousted nobles and rebels ran away to lead a fugitive life among the bandits. Together they formed bands of guerrilla fighters known as Habiru, who were readily hired as mercenaries. This became a widespread movement spreading through Canaan, Syria and Phoenicia. Israelites who had fled from Egypt formed their own tribal warbands. Akhenaten’s regime was unconcerned as to whether or not the Habiru managed to capture a city from the maryannu aristocrats as long as whoever was in charge recognised Pharaoh’s supremacy. Akhenaten may even have been sympathetic to the religious movement spreading among the Habiru: a belief in one supreme god.

Ultimately David, who began as a mercenary leader of a Habiru warband in service with the “Philistines” (Pelasgian cities of the coast), captured the Canaanite city of Jerusalem and established a new kingdom in Canaan. Egypt, locked in war with the Hittites had no need to interfere in the rise of this useful buffer state, indeed, the Pharaoh made an alliance with David’s successor, Solomon. It was not until the Israelite kingdom split up that the Pharaoh began to intervene in this region.

Again Iran will not directly get involved in this because of internal politics however if Iranian Shiite backed militias (Hezbollah, Houthis, various Iraqi groups) get involved then yea America/Israel/West will find an excuse to attacked.

Not to pathologize, but the most hardcore Empire Builders seem to have been repressed/closeted homosexuals. Gordon, James Brooke, Rhodes, Byron, Arthur Somerset. I believe Gordon said his only love was for Victoria, and Rhodes said something similar.

Would Lindsey Graham be better off if he had just been allowed to marry a nice South Carolinian man or would he still be a fire eater?

woof. I'm not sure any of that has historical documents supporting it.

as a general suggestion I would say Peter Brown's "Through the Eye of a Needle"

is an excellent grounding point for how the Christian church became whatever it is now.

edit also anything by Diarmaid McCulloch especially "Christianity: the first three thousand years"

huh, never heard of this habiru business. i thought the jews retconned their own religion to be monotheistic while they were partly in captivity in babylon because they were removed from the holy land so they needed to have a reason for why their god that was previously associated with the land of israel would have magic powers over there too
also i thought the philistines were a sea people comprised of various non-semitic mediterranens.
anthropology is neat!

They may send like advisors and more importantly its going to be Iranian drones launched by Iranian proxies that penetrate the Iron Dome in places like Haifa and Tel Aviv then Israel will go full ballistic on them, regardless of who launched them.
