The Weekly World News had a photo of ET shaking hands with Prester John - its gotta be true.
There you go again, falsely attributing. Hypocrite.

Tsk tsk, GS, you are making a leap that Evil Kneivel would not attempt. Discussing mythology is probably more appropriate in another forum.

Mythology written in the middle ages, totally void of supporting evidence is still fiction - just like the abundance of other myths that developed in that time frame. That the phoenicians sailed as far as England doesn’t matter - fiction is fiction.

Your questions can be answered by following upthread, if you are still confused try google - but don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Ah, so you admit they sailed to England. Ok, here's a bible verse for you:

Jdg 5:17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

Next questions: What types of ships were these? What was the tribe of Dan doing in them?

There's a lot of stuff on Google...what mythology is it that you are now referring? You've mentioned several on this thread, I have mentioned none.

Have you ever noticed that just prior to Christmas and Easter, CNN releases some bit of “news” challenging the Christian faith (secret Gospels, new crappy Bible translations, amazing speculations about Jesus being married/gay/rich/poor/an accountant/Swedish/etc), but no other religion’s holy days are subject to such breaking “news?”

Sigh. I miss the Weekly World News.

One of my college perfesser's research actually got to be the basis of a WWN article. He was so proud!

And so - there is no evidence other than a medieval fairy tail to support you claim. Show me proof - not one of your weekly world news citations.

Oh thats right - you believe in unicorns and little people - or am I getting that confused with the JoA myth?

Ahh. As I thought.

Vehicle by which pseudo-historians try to lend credibility to myth.

You refuse to answer my question about Dan in the ships because you know what it has to do with Joseph.

You can't answer my question so you falsely attribute.

How does the history of the Phoenicians lend credibility to Joseph being Jesus' uncle?

Oh yes, forgot your anglo-israeli filters were on. May be they were fishing, in any case, the verse predates by hundreds of years and has absolutely nothing to do with your claims. Romans had an excellent road network - could have walked as well.

No, just your pseudohistory - not that is the only 'false' thing here.
