Archaeologists excavating the ancient city of Jaffa, now part of Tel Aviv, have long uncovered evidence of Egyptian influence. Now, researchers have learned that a gateway belonging to an Egyptian fortification in Jaffa was destroyed and rebuilt at least four times.

I remember that Velikovsky made the claim that Israel was actually independent for only a relatively brief time, and that the south fell back under Egyptian suzerainty after the death of Solomon. That, while it had a hebrew king, it also had an Egyptian governor.

Solomon's son Rehoboam should be the patron saint of Obama and the whole Democratic Party.
