I think you have an incorrect paradigm into which you would like to fit what you think the Bible describes. I also think that your knowledge of the ancient world is less than perfect.

There, I was nice.

That's an understatement. What this reminds me of is Sir. Lawerence Gardner's work. He basically created a lot of 'history' to make his boss, Duke Francis of Bavaria, appear to not only be related to Jesus himself, but his family and all the orders he posses, be somehow tied to every piece of mythology of Europe.

It is fascinating to read if you read it as fiction, but can be frustrating if you have a passing knowledge of history to see many of the leaps and fabrications he makes to come to his conclusions.

LOL! For some reason I find this funny. As a Christian I thank you for your response, but for some strange reason your response just strikes my funny bone.

I’m not working from a paradigm. I’m viewing the Genesis material through the lens of Cultural Anthropology, lifting up details that are often overlooked. The evidence is rather conclusive that Abraham, Moses and David all had Horite blood. The marriage and ascendancy pattern of their families is identical and a distinctive Horite pattern.
