  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Exodus Lost reopens cold cases from antiquity and applies cutting-edge science, classical scholarship, and tenacity to solve them. The adventure begins with Aztec and Mayan chronicles of an epic voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. By mapping the details within these texts, the author tracks down their lost homeland and corroborates the local traditions of an ocean-crossing long before Columbus. This discovery leads to new insights into the origins of Mexican and Western civilizations, the Bible (including new archaeological evidence for two major biblical events), the alphabet, and much more. Enter a world of exploration and discovery, mystery and revelation. Whether your passion is archaeology or religion, history or simply a great adventure, Exodus Lost delivers.

Beautifully illustrated with 126 photos, maps, and engravings.

Haven't had a look yet but wanted to post as soon as possible so you can all get a chance to get it.

The maps and photos alone are worth getting it for. It is a large file so may take a bit to download, 344 pages but lots of photos, but well worth it!

Tons of foot notes too and I saw in my quick perusal some paleo Hebrew.................................:) He really goes into this ancient alphabet with explanations for each letter that goes on for pages.

I think this will be my Shabbat reading material, hope those interested in this kind of thing will also give it a look over so we can talk about it.

He pairs the 22 letters together to form interesting images.

Perhaps if we have enough that download this book we could have it be our first bookclub selection and we could meet once a week to discuss? That would be fun I think, any takers?
