Has history been tampered with? Moses upon the fiery mountain Vesuvius? Inverted maps?

Has history been tampered with? The fact that many Biblical texts clearly refer to volcanic activity has been well known to historians for a long time.The word Zion is widely known; theologians interpret it as "pillar". Identifying Zion as Sinai and Horeb is common in both theology and Bible studies. Hieronymus in particular noted that: "it appears that the same mountain is called by two different names, Sinai and Horeb".
The believers believe everything the Bible tells them without questioning, whereas the vehement atheists renounce everything the book has to say as nonsense, absurdity and malignant spells used for enslaving the people and keeping it obedient and ignorant.
The rational person shall however try to think of what the ancient author could really be referring to?

Volcanoes?

But there aren't any active volcanoes anywhere in the Middle East -- nor Northern Africa, nor most of continental Europe, for that matter.
However, there is an exception -- Italy and the famous Vesuvius. It is at a considerable distance from Palestine, granted. But let us sit down for a second, draw our breath and make the heretical presumption that the real events that became reflected in the book we know as the Bible really took place elsewhere, despite of what the illustrations in the modern bibles are telling us.

Basically, these conspiracy theories lack even the most basic understanding of how history is done, and instead resort to simplistic assumptions of mass forgetfulness and over-arching conspiracy and disinformation campaigns. No wonder the one promoting it is out of his field of expertise... seek the truth!

archaeological, dendro-chronological, paleo-graphical and radiocarbon methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts and found them non-independent, non-exact, statistically implausible, contradictory and viciously circular because they are based on concensual chronology. google>books>fomenko

Hmm, Christ was born in the middle ages? Gee, that's a neat trick! Then how come we have late 1st and 2nd century writers commenting extensively on his life and quoting from the New Testament at length? The writings of Irenaeus of Lyons alone contradict this ridiculous kooky revisionist "history" (I hestitate to call it "history" done by non-historians...).

'ancient' writers were all medieval ones writing under 'ancient' pseuodonims. the was quite a market for 'antiquity' in xv-xvii cy.

if this is true then it would be gods will. it would be his will for you, to be telling me this. and it would be gods will that i dont believe you. your not getting the real point that god was giving. the only only thing that you can possibly take with you when you die is the, lives that you touch and the choices that you make. so its not when where or how -- it is the message, that you are supposed to learn from. the only thing that we were given was choice! and use the past to make right ones

In fact, neither is reality

There is NO evidence for the existence of Moses.

I agreed with most of your other comments but your view of Christianity seems slightly over-righteous. No offense intended.

All religions grows and changes over time or at some point. Even the Chunch's stand changes as the Pope changes. Customs and cultures changes along with its people. Nothing is spared.

"Hinduism" is just the European umbrella term for the indigenous religions of India. It is incredibly diverse (330 million gods!) and continues to grow and change (there are gurus there today that are worshiped by some people). So while it probably contains some things that are very old, much of it is post-Christian, and influenced by Christianity, and other religions.

Dionysius is credited in these lists with "changing water into wine" like Jesus did at the Wedding of Cana (jars of hand washing water became good wine). Rather, Dionysius' temple would sometimes leak wine, or people would leave empty bowls in the Temple overnight and the next day they'd be filled with wine.

This is why the copycat theory isn't taken seriously by modern accademics. It sounds impressive at first, until you try tracking down some of the references & see how tortured they are.

Horus was never crucified, but killed by a scorpion in his youth (and brought back to life by his mother's magic), and was concieved when he mother had sex with his father's corpse (after it was torn apart by his mortal enemy, his mother sewed it back together and in some versions revived it just long enough to have sex with it, in other versions she impregnated herself with his reversed penis). Mithras was born from a rock, fully grown (and some shepherds helped pull him out).
