All very well, except

" ... The term "Mosos" ( notes 2, 12, 18, 21 ) does not correspond to any known female demigod in mythology, literature, or popular culture based on the provided context. It may be a misspelling or confusion with another name .... "

"Moses," however, does exist, and the place where he crossed over the Gulf of Aqaba with the children of Israel has been identified, and shown to be fully in accordance with the Biblical record; that being the case, then it would seem to be somewhat illogical that the event occurred, but he is a confection.

Further, of course, it is far more likely that "Greek myths" were constructed from historical realities, as we have convincingly displayed in the Bible, than that archaeological realities were somehow manufactured on the back of Greek myths.

Even the writer acknowledges this logic when he says

" ... There are some who think Aristotle might have been a fictitious character made up at Plato’s academy, but I can’t comment other than to say how could he be fictitious when he taught Alexander the Great?

"however, he knew only superficially, as appears from his curious statement that the Law of the Jews was given to them by a woman named Moso"

I have seen other references as well.

Just another fucking hasbara fascist playing at being a neo-nazi very convincingly because it comes naturally, with the command to diss my relationship with my wife. Go fuck yourself, cunt. And yes you are banned. I do not want to waste my time with you.

this was fun, thank you! as an aside: /penta-/ = adverbial /pente/. penta- is often used as a prefix, but with the original meaning of pente, i.e (the number) five.

hence pentateuch, or: "the five parts book" (a.k.a. Torah).

A fascinating read! The whole of history that We are taught seems to be BS. But then... The victor writes the history, eh? Thanks for offering this!
