http://www.drdavidneiman.com. Dr. Neiman outlines the rise of the earliest civilizations in the West including Sumer, Akkad, Babylonia and Phoenicia. The development of cities allows for the diversification and specialization of society and with the invention of writing, history begins.

  • Thus, Hebrew history is primarily based on myth created by the priests. Archaeological and anthropological evidence confirms their migratory paths to be otherwise and completely contradictory to the Old Testament. We now know that there were no characters like Abraham or Moses, but mere fictional characters that were created to bring some foundation to Israeli people. Israel Finkelstein and Neil Silberman, Gary Greenberg from Biblical Archaeological Society have immense research on this topic.

    I am currently working with the Biblical Archeology Society. I am sure there are many competing theories of origins.

  • @antiiraqwar He did not say anywhere in this video "Israel, the third great civilization". He said the Phoenicians, in general, including Israel, and the 3 river systems in the fertile crescent. You are a moron, and so are the antisemitic fools who gave your comment a thumbs up. This man is a famous historian. Give him respect.

  • @drdalet uh the oldest writings actually come from sumeria...

  • @Cloyde100 Sumerians themselves have traced their origins to the highlands of Armenia. Their cuneiforms are still present to reflect this.

  • The Neolithic revolution can be traced to the highlands of Armenia. German Archaeological Institute has confirmed this in 1994. Mesopotamia had its origins from Armenia. Professor Rothman from Widener University is continuing the excavations in Shengavit now, which has confirmed this fact.

  • Isrealis are from Egypt, but their mythology is taken Chaldeans.

  • Israel history does not go back further than 1300 BC.

  • @Cloyde100  Some can.

  • This Dr. Says Homosapiens ! So he really believe that Jehovah created man through the evolution! If he have faith that the Bible is really the word of our lovely creator .how he can teach things that contradict it!.. That is why billions of people are confused! Happy is the person who have spiritual discernment , and worship the true God. But who will give him that fact? He had not search by asking Him.
