#297 - Ancient Historian: NEW Texts Change Everything We Knew about the Bible | Gad Barnea

And I think the main beauty of this book is its humanity. And what I mean by that is that the power of this text comes from geography. And what I mean by that is that it was written at the place which is, if you look at where Palestine is, where Israel is, where that plot of land is, in the map. You see it's the bridge between Asia, between Europe, Asia, and Africa.

That's the only land bridge between these three continents. Every single empire, every army had to go through that region. So every culture in antiquity from Western Asia and Europe and Egypt, of course not China, but every military, every culture from those areas had to leave a mark on that land and on the people.

And so they shared their ideology, they shared their theology, they shared their views with the people of this land. And that's what gives, I think, the Bible its uniqueness because it's a big, this huge mixture of different perspectives that were left behind by the great empires and the different groups that came in and out of that region.

So it's really a product of the geography of where it was composed. And the beauty of it is really that we see elements from Indo-Iranian through the Achaemenids, for example. So from the Indo-Iranian sphere, we see from the Greeks, we see a lot of the Egyptian elements. And the Assyrian and the Babylonians, et cetera, and the Hittites.

So we see all of these different elements come in and get kind of mixed up in the biblical text. And I think that's what gives it a lot of its beauty and richness. You have all of these cultures coming together. And for my research, I kind of reverse engineer this. So I look at that and I go back into the actual cultures and try to reverse engineer the original direction that they took.
