Well John Titor (time traveler from Art Ball’s show) did say that our whole notion of God changed when The Ark of the Covenant was found in Ethiopia

The Old Testament is basically an account of how Israel went off the rails over and over again. So it's not surprising that they find archaeological evidence of Israel's idolatry.

That was the same thing I was thinking. It only took them a few years before they built a golden calf despite the miracles they had seen.

Bad Media again. They do not seem to read scripture.
In 1 Kings chapter 18, Elijah slew 450 prophets of Baal.
This does not disprove but rather offers some proof to the accounts of the Bible.

So like no other people lived in that area the same time Jews did? No other cultures? And the OT was not "started to be written" as though it is one book. I love these moronic "experts" -

She describes herself as "an atheist with huge respect for religion" and regards her work as "a branch of history like any other"

Now experts are increasingly suggesting that far from there being one God, there were many.Are these people totally ignorant of history?

So, since they worshipped Baal, Molech, and Astoreth, I guess we can assume their existence is a fact, too. /s

Israel was God’s bride - but she proved herself an ungrateful harlot.

Exactly.
And there is all that mention of the asherah poles that had to be taken down.

I have a 2.5 hour round trip commute every day. I’ve been listening to the OT from cover to cover over the last few weeks. It’s really amazing to get it read to you like a book. It comes across very differently from when you are studying it through reading. I’m up to Ezekiel 16 so far.
And I was thinking just what you posted when I read the article.

Rewriting history is a never ending job.
The next thing you know someone will be finding new rights written in invisible ink in the US Constitution.

The Old Testament is basically an account of how Israel went off the rails over and over again. Pretty much. IIRC, treating Yahweh as a member of a pantheon of false gods was one of the ways Israel fell into idolatry. I think Asherah had something to do with it.
