I wonder how they managed to tell a complex story like that before the invention of writing?

    The caputalisa of “Site Much Older Than” makes me think this person has attempted to trademark the phrase.

    I love me some band books. Anything about The Stones or The Ramones really draws me in.

      The Rolling Stones had only been around for a couple of dozen decades at the point this place was being built, it really is ancient

      And this was the neolithic, so they were literally playing rock music.

    but hasnt every story from the bible been found in earlier scripts like from qumran already? not a single word in the bible is not some enhanced copy of an older story already found elsewhere. religion is so sad.

      The dead sea scrolls are old manuscripts, including several Bible books, but they date after most of those books were written.

      The dead sea scrolls date from 3rd century BCE to 1st century CE. At that time, most of the OT had been finalized. The value of the scrolls is that they are hard copies of these books that are a lot older than previous copies we had.

      They were God’s first draft, obviously.

      Unlike all of those true books in the Bible like the one with the talking snake and the one with the guy who came back from the dead?

        Yes, because this one was immediately recognized as BS and the guy who wrote it was sentenced to 3 years hard labour in gaol. So not even a good fake.
