A show on this dig on NG channel said this was the source of the “king Solomon’s Mines’ legend.

Yep, Absolutely. look at what you just threw at me in timeline and chronos... The Jews are still blaming Islam and want to kill them off right now for the destruction of the first temple. Islam did NOT EXIST. THEY ARE LYING.

We are all, in every country killing our own to defend them in a lie. We have been since the very first crusades. We even went and killed and ATE our own Byzantine christian empire in our “holy quest for salvation” in the first crusade.

History has been purposely blocked out to put followers in a box. Reality and truth is NOT part of it. Personally, I am getting really tired of the lies and deceptions “in the name of God” on all sides. It has become fraudulent and deceptive in the least.

“without the use of the Zero...”

Look at how time plays out on a number line.

There never was a year zero. Neither was there ever a year 0 AD nor was there ever a year 0 BC.

People partied late into the night on New Years Eve, BC 1 and woke up on the morning of January 1, AD 1.

The first decade AD spanned from January 1, 1 AD to New Years Eve AD 10. The first century AD spanned from January 1, AD 1 to New Years Eve AD 100. The first millenium spanned from January 1, AD 1 to New Years Eve AD 1000.

And yes, that does mean that the twentieth century did not end until the stroke of midnight brought in January 1, AD 2001. Not that the New York Times noticed (even though the January 1, 1901 edition of the NYT had a large number of features commemorating the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth).

"Edomites" are the offspring of Esau, Jacob's brother.

Copper mining is recorded in Scripture long before the appearance of Esau:

"And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze [bronze = copper/tin] and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah." (Gen. 4:22).

FReegards!

Whenever I see BCE I say, “Ah, yes, Before the Christian Era!”

Only Muslims have such a weird version of history.
