Hmmm . . . I wonder if DNA analysis would find them to be Jewish merchants???? Did they discover a first Holocaust???? Would not surprise me
The first historical non-Biblical source of there being an Israel, the Merneptah Stele, has been dated to early 13th century BC.
1230’s BC I don’t think there were many Jews then. They were still Israelites...............
That’s a hell of a conclusion to jump to. What are the odds that almost 2,000 Israelites would be wandering around that part of Europe at that time?

Wie Geht’s Mein Herr!
3250 years ago was before the first temple was even built. I doubt the were “jews”.
