Controversial Findings: Canaan's Conquest Reexamined | Parable 

Wasn't Canaan already under Egypt during Ramesses ? So how could they escape Egypt?

The whole idea that a god gave anyone a specific piece of ground is ludicrous.

this is old and outdated there is plenty of evidence that recent archeologists have discovered. If you go by when the Israelites say they conquered Cannan then it lines up. If you decided they come later then it doesnt line up.

Yes, "critical archeology". The same "critical archeology" that said for decades that the Hittites did not exist. The fact that they find Cannaite/phonecian idols in Jewish areas does not dis prove the Bible, as the Bible tells us that: 1) they lived next to each other and 2) That some Israelites were worshiping these idols and subsequently punished by God. How they don not know this as studied scientists is either they need to study more or they have a bias against the Judaeo Christian belief.

I learned a lot

Nobody tosses a dwarf .

4:19 lol welp, don't bring it up if you don't wanna talk about it 😅

Why would God give them 10 commandments not 11 or 9. If the commandment said, thou shall not kill, why would God tell them to kill everyone in a battle.

Please yes live with your neighbor

what's the guys name I love his voice

The Sea People and the Israelites campaigned against the Indo-European Hittite Canaanites and the Egyptians (also Canaanites) during the Bronze Age Collapse. What we know for certain is that the Bronze Age Collapse was a time of extreme raiding and warfare in Anatolia and Egypt that was led by the Sea People. At this time, the Hittite Empire (an empire of Indo-European Canaanites which grew to prominence after the volcanic eruption of Thera in the Mediterranean that caused the Exodus of the slaves of Egypt) vanished from Anatolia. At the same time, in China (named for the Canaanites, the Chiananna) the construction of the Great Wall began using the very same design as the wall that was constructed around the Hittite Empire in Hattusa. Also, dolmen construction which originate in Northwestern Europe and spread throughout the Mediterranean, migrated to Korea (which now has the most number of dolmen in the world, 40% of the world's dolmen are in Korea). Also, people with elongated skulls of Southern Mesopotamia migrated out of the Persian Gulf and sailed to Paracas Peru. DNA testing of the elongated skulls of Paracas Peru has revealed that they carried maternal genes of Early European Farmers, and other haplogroups of Europe and Western Asia. These ancient people who were refugees from the Land of Canaan brought paganism, human sacrifice, slavery, and warfare that originated in Northern Europe and Northwestern Asia to Southern Asia, East Asia, Polynesia, and to Mesoamerica... in their DNA. So, pretty much everyone in the world was practicing Canaanite paganism, except the peaceful Hebrews and Judeans. If not for the Hebrews, the Jews who created monotheism, Judaism, and Christianity, then Europe, Asia, and the Americas would be inhabited by nothing but violent, genocidal, cannibalistic pagans that carried the symbol of the swastika. Interestingly, the pagans are hunters who worshipped death and the dead, they have a preference for the color of fresh blood, they have an obsession with lethal weapons, they represent themselves with the colors red, white, and the symbol of the swastika, they are drawn towards conflict, they invade farming societies and rule over farmers (who represent themselves with the color green). The Hebrews are fishers and shepherds, they worship water, life, and the creation of life, they are drawn to the color of natural pools of water, they tend to be independent and flee from conflict. This is the foundation of the story of Jacob and Esau. The older brother Esau, who was a hairy, aggressive, hunter, sold his inheritance to his meek brother Jacob for the food which Jacob had prepared for Esau. After Esau sold his inheritance to Jacob, Esau married several Indo-European Hittite Canaanite whores. This is the sequel to the story of Cain and Abel, in which the older brother killed the younger brother. The slaves of Egypt now inherited the world for the food that they had prepared for the aggressive Eurasian pagans for over one thousand years.

This is old. Much discoveries since then.

Solomon dynasty next

I wonder if the period when those empires in the Mediterranean region collapsed, coincided with something like a pole shift, a shift in Earth's axis, a change in the core's rotation, etc, etc. How can one explain such a widespread fall of large, developed civilizations, without considering some Earth-altering event?....OR, "Those Earthlings are getting too uppity. Fire up the 'Bull of Heaven!' "

It tells you in the bible that they did not wipe them all and god was mad. When people says gods loves everyone. In the bible he clearly did not. Many time he flat out says when he doesn’t like someone or a group of people. For instance. Jacob I have loved but Esau I have hated. Same with Cain and Able. He excepted all of Able’s offerings but not Cain’s. When he doesn’t hear from able for awhile. He questions his Whereabouts. The Israelites was supposed to be the dominant rulers. I truly believe that God wanted to wipe out curtain nations that would’ve pose a threat to the Israelites later on. However. The Israelites didn’t do all that was commanded of them and spared some Canaanites. Those who were spared eventually some married into the Israelites. The Israelites were never Canaanites. But the Canaanites were absorb into Israelites cultures. It also says that Canaanites would never forget what the Israelites did. There would be a time when the descendants of the surviving Canaanites. Those who did not married into the Israelites would seek revenge.

THIS IS NOT CORRECT .ABRAHAM WAS LONG BEFORE MOSES ON THE MOUNT.

based

Considering Exodus and then its Stations, chronologically, socio-politically and militarily (given the proposed Acoustic/Electromagnetic Powers of Arc of the Covenant) does not sound plausible. Moreover, Canaanites were later identified as Phoenicians then Carthaginians, Khazarians etc. “Bible says Canaanites were wiped out by Israelites but scientists just found their descendants living in Lebanon”, Independent, September 2017.

"The Lord commanded them to march " Also, to kill (a close relative) to test your loyalty to the lord. The latter is not referring to an opponent in war, it's during peacetime. Pure barbarism. Christianity is a horrible and barbaric story as well ending in a bloody mess. Although it never orders murder and usurpation like judaism and islam, it indirectly orders the conquering of lands by telling people to preach the gospel to the world. Which it did (starting in Europe). As with Islam and judaism it was used as a premise to steal land. Thout shoult not steal, only take in my name

To be a promised land, there seems to be distinct lack of water and fertile lands.

Has any of these people/archeologists read the whole bible before?.... Yisra'elis at one time went off the path and worshipped the Canaanite "gods".

Great documentary

Jealousy of what the giants have built and wanted it all for themselves without doing all the hard work.

What? The land is called CANAAN, not PALESTINE? (Asking in jest)

Very educational. Seems like a lot of the history in the Old Testament is made up.

It was an internal revolt that created Israelites.

No.

Has Israel built any hotels at Lifta? Just asking…..

The Bible clearly says that the Israelites started in Canaan as Abraham had moved there from the area of the Chaldeans (modern Iraq). Abraham's grandson Jacob was born in Canaan and was renamed "Israel" by God; Israel had 12 sons from whom the twelve tribes of Israel were formed. Israel's son Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers. Joseph became 2nd in command of Egypt and saved Egypt from famine. Joseph's eleven brothers later joined him due to famine back in their homeland of Canaan. Over time, the Egyptian Pharaohs forgot Joseph's work in saving the people and they plunged the Israelites into slavery. After generations of slavery, one of the Israelites, Moses, was raised up as a leader of Egypt. When Moses found out his heritage, he led the Israelites out of slavery and away from Egypt, back to Canaan, where they ultimately re-settled in the land and renamed it Israel. Of course, The Bible gives credit for all of this to the Guiding Hand of God.

Evolution is not earth shaking is just an unsupported theory😅

This info is outdated. Check the latest archeology & research.

They didn't have to conquer it they were Canaanites

The Bible is metaphorical and allegorical stories to convey higher spiritual knowledge. It is not to be taken literally. The apostle Paul says in 2 CORINTHIANS 3:6 "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; NOT OF THE LETTER, BUT OF THE SPIRIT: FOR THE LETTER KILLETH, but THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE." 👍 Taking it as allegorical stories conveying spiritual truth leads to spiritual growth. 👎Reading it letter by letter, word for word - literally leads to spiritual death.

As an Atheist & Pagan and objective reader of religion, it is obvious that most of the Bible especially the supernatural stories in it are false. Israelites being Canaanites or at least another northern Semitic group nearly indigenous to the region nearly identical to the Canaanites makes the most sense. Bible does say that they lived in the same region that one of Noah’s sons was Canaan and that there were multiple tribes of Israel. Now Noah’s ark we know was influenced by older pagan flood myths and that flood myths were common in ancient civilizations that were always around water be it seas or rivers. There are two major reasons to why the Israelis replaced the Canaanites without actually doing it through actual warfare and that they lied about that. That like other great empires of the time they fell similar to Ancient Rome & Egypt & that their new monotheistic beliefs did demonize the earlier pagan polytheistic culture by labeling their gods as devils & false gods such as tje Canaanite deities Baal & Ashtoroth. If it was proven that Jews/Israelites were in fact Canaanites which I think is most likely given they were so close any way; it shows two things. That one that the Israelites were not bloodthirsty conquerers stealing land from the people there that they themselves portrayed themselves as but also that they in fact indigenous to the land as Cannanites but they were of the lower class the farmers that were able to survive as they were able to feed themselves and survive after the fall of the Canaanite civilization. Still while most of the Bible is false one thing that is true about it is that it accurately depicts the Israelites/Jews as that followed Judaism as sexist and oppressive & violent monotheists. Its their mentality that is proven truth of the Bible not the stories. It does prove also that they are indigenous to the land of Israel.

let God be true, and every man a liar

God i so dislike this pattern of presentation so BS drama and trivial statements

Before the israelites became slaves of egypt, what were they? Where did they live? How did they became slaves?

I love fiction stories of the Bible

The real HOLOCAUST.

The Canaanites were giants read the verse in the bible where the spies went into the land and got frightened by its inhabitants because they were giants. So, it wasn't a normal fight because the Israelites had to find ways to outsmart the giants and defeat them with Gods help.

Alledge??? It's a fact because it is written in the bible.

Yeah it's call America

No they didn’t they came mostly from local Canaanite stock.

Perhaps they made up a story about pre owning the land

It's not a parable its fact aparable is a fairy tale with a message God gave this land to israel

Free Palestine

ETERNAL GLORY TO THE ONLY HEAVENLY FATHER YAHUAH AND HIS SON YAHUSHA! THE RIGHT NAME OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS YAHUAH, AND THE NAME OF HIS SON OF OUR SAVIOR IS YAHUSHA! LORD, GOD ETC ... THESE ARE ONLY PAGAN TITLES REPLACED BY REAL HEBREW NAMES!

Dangerous ground when your intent is to tell God His word is a lie. I to used to behave as if there is no hell as well. Hope to see you on the other side. Keep studying. Wise men still seek Him.

Nu. Acolo s-a fornat poporul lor, acum acum 12,000 de ani. Biblia descrie, metaforic, cum Dumnezeul Unic a "cucerit" Caananul si l-a dat poporului ales". Si cand citesti Motanul Incaltat crezi ca e pe bune?
