My History book was written by James Breasted in 1916. Revised in 1935. James Henry Breasted (1865-1935) was an American archaeologist and historian who is often regarded as one of the founders of American Egyptology. He was also a professor of Egyptology and Oriental History at the University of Chicago and the founder of its Oriental Institute.Archeology can be used to supplement history, but history is the study of the past in the era of written documentation. A good portion of archeology focuses on pre-literate society.
Recently I posted a list of 45 Archeology sites that pertain to the Bible. They confirm our Bible and give us a deeper understanding. We know that archaeology cannot prove or disprove the religious or spiritual aspects of the Bible. Archaeology helps us to better understand the customs, beliefs, and daily lives of the people we read about in our Bible. So one supplements the other.
Archaeology helps to deepen our understanding of ancient Mesopotamian culture and society. The main thing is that Ur was polytheistic. They believed in multiple gods. Abraham was the father of three religions. The Hebrew, Muslim, and Christian. They are Monotheistic. Hebrew and Muslims have a blood relationship with Abraham. Through Sarah and Hagar the Egyptian handmaiden. Christians are gentiles that are adopted into the family. The Bible says we are like branches grafted into the tree.It is not remarkable that he was from a city that existed (or existed recently) when it was written.
