Now, I
would have loved to tell you
in-depth about the days that come
right after the priests of Amun.
Apparently All historical records
or books seem to suddenly agree
that the bible is 100 % accurate (and
NO, I am not stating it is
in-correct - who am I to know
such a thing?). But I can base
this on the fact that most
historical records I read keep
referring to the Bible chapters
about Solomon's time and they
seem to use this as a fact-sheet
of some sort.
In the
book dating from 1887 "The story
of the nations - Ancient Egypt"
on page 296, it states ;
(When
Solomon ruled)
- it is a little uncertain
which Egyptian prince was now
upon the throne; but
Egyptologers incline to Pinetem
II, the second in succession
after Men-khepr-ra, and the last
king but one of the dynasty. The
Hebrew monarch having made
overtures through his ambassador,
this prince, it would seem,
received them favourably; and,
soon after his accession (1
Kings III. I), Solomon took to
wife his daughter, an Egyptian
princess, receiving with her as
a dowry the city ans territory
of Gezer, which Pinetem had
recently taken from its
independent Canaanite
inhabitants (ib. ix. 16).
I
should not need to 'state/quote'
anymore from this book, to
illustrate that it reefers to
the Bible records as used as a
'fact-sheets'.
In the book "Chronicle of the Pharaohs" - by Peter A. Clayton - ISBN 0-500-05074-0, on page 180 and 181, it
states ;
'Sheshonq triumphs in Palestine'
Following the death of Solomon in 930 B.C, the kingdoms of Judah and Israel under Rehoboam (Solomon's son) and Jeroboam I, respectively, were at loggerheads and ripe for strong Egyptian military intervention.
Sheshonq - Shishak of the bible - defeated them in 925 B.C in a highly successful campaign, the like of which had not been seen since the days of Ramesses III in the 20th Dynasty.
He moved first against Judah, arriving before the walls of Jerusalem, held by Rehoboam. The city was surrounded but Seshonq was bought off from entering it by being given 'the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made' (1 Kings 14: 26).
So again there is a reference to the Bible records as a source
(which I must add is fine with me, because I do see it as a valuable book for us humans
alike).
*******
The only 'proper' thing one can conclude is that; suddenly people (especially entangled into one faith/belief - about their own goodness vs. others Evilness - which is and will always be ludicrous. We all possess both sides, only in the choice that a given person chooses, will their 'true' nature be revealed - will he choose for his I (Latin: Ego) or will he see the overall situation as is. - much philosophy belongs to such a discussion).
Back from around 900 BC up until around 1000 AD
(and even then there was war in smaller areas, and much knowledge were lost among those
days).
