Ever seen Israel identified on a map of the Levant?

Yes, absolutely, within the general larger area which encompasses the Levant, Israel is not “carved out of it” on purpose for religious reasons, lol. When discussing early man cultures from the stand point of anthropology, all of the shores and inland areas adjacent to the Eastern Mediterranean are all considered the Levant. 40,000 years ago there were no formal religions, and no borders. Would the geographical labels “Eastern Steppes”, or “Iberia” used in the field of anthropology also be considered as denying? It is just a scientific term used by anthropologists for a general geographical area, no religious politics intended at all. I have absolutely no clue how you were able to dig that one out of your hat and turn it into politics about religion.

Here is one of the Levant including Israel based on much later sources than Anthropologists refer to and a much smaller area, in fact, based on the bible it’s self.
