“Nope. Did not happen. That is not claimed at all.”

Yes they did... And you yourself are right now. The Bible is the only source that is to be righteous period, all others are false. This is absolutely a claim of uniqueness.

“You need to find another object of your anti-Christain venom.”

I am not anti-Christian at all... I am just an open minded historian with no ignorant biased mental firewalls that prevent and block out discovery of the whole picture in history.

“The Bible is the only source that is to be righteous period, all others are false.”

You can’t be an historian with such whomper-jawed nonsense.

The Bible purports to be the only source of the true God, it is a narrowly focused, very brief compilation, makes no attempt to be an exact and only source of world history and current events worldwide, and does not claim at all the be the only source of historical knowledge. It does not make any claims at all on the correctness of secular sources and knowledge. And it is nonsensical to claim it does.

The Bible writers made no attempt to address important events that were currently happening at the time, only when it involved Israel. For example, Israel existed contemperaneously with the Greek civilization and the Bible never even mentions it, although the two nations certainly would have had much communication, etc.

“This is absolutely a claim of uniqueness.”

The claim of uniqueness has only to do with the worship of the God of Israel and his directing, fighting their enemies, and the Israelites sinning away their blessings.
