[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77127837, member: 330042"] It doesn't really "prove" Genesis's narrative is completely true . It's been well known for some time that Canaanite city-states contained numerous kingdoms. Genesis is an ancient history, which doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't contain fantastical elements or politically-biased redactions. It's not that controversial among ancient Near East scholars that Canaan was a tribute state of Egypt, so it's not surprising that an Egyptian stele would mention Israel. That doesn't mean that the actual history was exactly the same as what is portrayed in the Bible. The Bible makes alot out of Israel being a large migrant group under Moses that conquered Canaan, whereas the actual evidence doesn't suggest the sort of widespread invasion and slaughter in the Bible actually took place. It appears to be more of a national myth. [/QUOTE]
