‘Mitzraim’ of Abraham, Moses, was not Arabia

To the reader who is trying to convince me that the Exodus was in Arabia (and who also believes that Moses was in Mecca, and that Abraham was in Arabia):
 
“Although the Bible has Abraham going to Mitzraim which is generally accepted as being Egypt (until we started to uncover our clues) the Koran has Ibrahim visiting Arabia”:
 
 
 
I wrote:
 
Did you take your lead from Islam? Or Islamic scholars?
Some of them have Cheops' architect, Hemiunu, as the Haman of the Book of Esther.
Not a bad try, only about a millennium out.
 
Their Prophet is strangely connected in various cases with non-existent (at the time) Nineveh.
Ahmed Osman has managed to fit all the main biblical characters, from Abraham to the Holy Family, into just the one 18th Egyptian dynasty. 
 
You, yourself, have Abraham in Arabia.
Dr. John Osgood has identified archaeologically, in Late Chalcolithic, the destruction in Palestine (note) caused by Amraphel of Shinar and his coalitional mates (Genesis 14). 
 

 
 
For my critiques of Ahmed Osman, see:
 
 
 
 
 
“… one should … expect the chronological earthquake caused by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky
to be still transmitting aftershocks right down the line, so as to plunge late BC events
into an AD time frame”.

 Doug Stanglin, USA TODAY 3:34 p.m. EDT March 30, 2013 Although the Vatican makes no claim on the shroud's authenticity as a relic, Pope Francis introduced a special TV appearance of the burial cloth on Holy Saturday. The Shroud of Turin, shown in 1979, is a 14-foot linen revered by some as the burial cloth of Jesus. The Pope provided the introduction for a TV appearance of the cloth on Holy Saturday. New research claims that the cloth does in fact date from the era of Christ, disputing other tests dating it to the Middle Ages. (Photo: Barrie M.

The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse

A query from France: Dear Damien, Do you know “The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse” by Patrick Heron (Kensington Publishing Corp., 2004).? It offers many interesting views on mythologies and Egypt. I read it because I am writing an article on “the days of Noah” (Mt24:36-38 or Lc17:26) . Transhumanism looks terribly similar, if not much worse, to the deeds of the Nephilim before and after the Flood. So I am just curious to know if you, perchance, have any opinion on this author and his theses. I wish you a holy and merry Christmas ! .... Damien Mackey replies:   .... I once went to a lecture where it was even suggested that the Egyptians may originally have come from the Moon. As I see it, the Nephilim came into being when the originally good Sethite line (the children of God) began to mingle with the corrupt Cain-ites. Their progeny were the Nephilim hybrids. This was all pre-Flood (c. 2300 BC), of course, well before the Pyramids of

An Archaeology for the Garden of Eden

The Lost Rivers of the Garden of Eden taken from: http://www.kjvbible.org/rivers_of_the_garden_of_eden.html The quest for pinpointing the exact location of the Biblical Garden of Eden and the four rivers almost rivals the quest for the location of fabled Atlantis. And the theories that abound are almost as numerous as the interpretations of the seven days of Genesis. Before tackling this question let's review what is written in Genesis about the four rivers: And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.(
