    The Hyksos connection to the Israelites in Egypt?

    Some historians (Manetho - an Egyptian, and Josephus - a Jew) see the two groups as one in the same. These actually make the claim the Hyksos, after being expelled from Egypt, went back to Canaan and founded the city of Jerusalem. More modern historians disagree, but there are a ton of...

    Gihon River contradiction

    In Genesis 2:13 it says: "And the name of the second river: Gihon; this is the river that flows around the whole country of Cush." We remember that the Gihon River flows around Cush, which was in Yemen and NOT in Ethiopia. But now look what 2 Chronicles 33:14 says: And after that he built the...

    The Nile River is not in Egypt / East Africa

    According to this Bible passage, the Nile River has long since dried up and is no more: "And the waters shall run out of the Nile, and the river shall dry up. And the rivers shall stink, and the channels of Mazor shall be shallow and dry; the reeds and the cane shall wither. The floodplains of...

    Fairuz sings Coptic Kiahk praise song "Ya M-R-Y-M" (O M-A-R-Y) at Deir El Natour, Enfeh Lebanon

    Never thought I'd see Fairuz singing a Coptic Orthodox song...though I know she's done Syriac hymns in the past (Shubho L'Haw Qolo; she also did it in Arabic as Subhan El Kalimat), some people say that's because her father was Syriac originally from Mardin (Syriac region in Turkey). As far as I...

    Well how about that! Coptic liturgy in Russian in Hurghada, Egypt

    From the headquarters of Deir Anba Antonious in Hurghada, under priest-monk Abaskhiron El Antoni. Hurghada has the largest number of Russians (some 3,000, though there are supposedly many more who are not officially registered there) in all of Egypt. Had no idea they had translated the Coptic...

    400 Years of Enslavement Contradiction

    Some believe a complete chronology from creation to present can be made using the Bible. I attempted to make such a chronology, but ran into a problem when I got to Jacob and his twelve sons. Using the genealogies of Adam and Shem found in the Book of Genesis, it's clear to see that it was 1880...
