The House of Israel Truth be known that the ancient Semites were smelting copper and mining turquoise in the Sinai peninsula, then trading it with the Sumerians as far as 4,000 BC, and populated the region even earlier, way before the king Menes of Egypt unified the Upper and Lower kingdoms into the 1st dynastic rule of the Old Kingdom, and any "Jews" and Arabs existing as we know it today. Abraham, aka Amenemhat, and his followers left Sumeria and Canaan, not Babylon which was much later, granted in the same region, to invade Egypt. The word Hebrew is derived from Hapiru people, the workers of Egypt, who followed the exodus of the royal house of Israel, the House of David. The title Pharaoh, there was no such title during that time, Abraham was the first to have it. He was a prominent noble/rich Semite who also married into the Sumerian royalty and thus had much influence in the region. Hittites, who took over the Hatties, had their own royalty, they simply were allies with the Semites and Sumerians against the Egyptians, more specifically the Menes/Min/Minos/etc families, who ruled most of the ancient world at that time. The story of the House of Israel started from the ancient Semites living in the Sinai peninsula who by the 12th dynasty, in their fight back against the institutionalized Egyptian (King Menes dynasties) raids on their copper and turquoise smelting and mining operations, have allied with the passing through Asiatic Hittite army, whose descendants may have been the so-called Hiksos of the 15th dynastic intermediate period, and invaded the lower Egypt, then installed their/our own king Amenemhat I (Amen is the head) aka Abraham (Father Ra of the land of Kham, i.e. black fertile soil of the delta region and the Mediterranean crescent, the old name for Egypt). The hold of this new royal house of Egypt, the House of Israel and later the House of David aka Thoth, lasted until the famous 18th dynasty, when all hell broke lose culminating with the exodus led by Akhenaten (Moses), around 880 BC. As you have noticed the conventional chronology is off by five centuries, as Immanuel Velikovsky has pointed out. There are many books that i have read, articles, conversations i have had with the biblical scholars, plus i have studied in the rabbinical college and did my own research. so, no links that would tell you this version of history, only bits and pieces. i am also systems analyst and programmer by degree so i have used my skills to process this ancient mythology into a coherent narrative. I mean, you can read Sigmund Freud and Ahmed Osman (Out of Egypt) about Moses Akhenaten, although Ahmed's position on Jesus being Tutankhamun is wrong, he was son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar named Caesarion, Immanuel Velikovsky (Pensee VI), also 'The Age Of Velikovsky' by C.J.Ransom, about the alternative chronology, Behind The Bible by Hermes about the Egyptian connection, wrong as it may, it offers interesting insights, and many other books. The State of Israel I saw this meme going around, stating "100% of Israel settlements are illegal under international law," which is complete nonsense. "The irony is that a genuine Palestinian state already exists on the East Bank of the Jordan river. When Britain conquered the Turkish Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, she allocated five million square miles of Ottoman territory to the local inhabitants. Britain gave 99.8 percent of the conquered land to the Arabs. Only one-fifth of one percent (0.2) of the land was reserved by Britain to establish a Jewish National Home to allow the Jews of the world (who were persecuted in many countries at that time) to return to their (ancestral) Promised Land after two thousand years of exile. The Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917, declared that the whole of the British Mandate territory, including both sides of the Jordan river, was to be given to the Jews for their homeland."*1 This is Jewish territory already, the later carving up of Israel to allow the Palestinian enclaves within its borders makes Israel vulnerable and hard to defend, virtually impossible, according to the Pentagon and other military experts. "On 15 May 1948, as part of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Jordan invaded Palestine together with other Arab states, in which eastern Jerusalem fell into the country's control through several battles including Battle of Jerusalem and Battle of Latrun, the latter was a decisive Jordanian victory. Following the war, Jordan occupied the West Bank and on 24 April 1950 Jordan formally annexed these territories, an act that was regarded as illegal and void by the Arab League. At the Jericho Conference on 1 December 1948, 2,000 Palestinian delegates supported a resolution calling for "the unification of Palestine and Transjordan as a step toward full Arab unity"."*2 The problem nowadays is that Jordan does not want the West Bank any more with the Palestinian Arabs there, since they are the minority in Hashemite Kingdom of the Jordan, and are not popular. *1 - p. 250 Apocalypse -- The Coming Judgment Of The Nations by Grant R.

They were allies of Abraham aka Amenemhat I of the 12th dynasty who have gave them his copper weapons to invade the lower Egypt's delta area, as the payback for Egyptians making habit of invading the Semite's copper and turquoise mines and smelting operations since king Menes of the 1st dynasty. That is as far as the 12th to 18th dynasties is concerned. Then the Hiksos have come by in the 15th dynasty, who may have been descendants of the Hittites who have helped Abraham to take the Egyptian throne back in the 12th dynasty. wikipedia: "The 15th Dynasty of Egypt was the first Hyksos dynasty, ruled from Avaris, without control of the entire land. The Hyksos preferred to stay in northern Egypt since they infiltrated from the north-east. The names and order of kings is uncertain. The Turin King list indicates that there were six Hyksos kings, with an obscure Khamudi listed as the final king of the 15th Dynasty." King Solomon, or is it SolAmun, was Pharaoh Amenhotep III who has built the Temple in the ancient Sacred place of Peace, Uru (sacred place) Shalom/Salem (peace) Jerusalem. The monuments section of the article*1 at the end is telling about the path Moses took against his ancestral God, albeit overdone in the name of ending the sale of forgiveness by the corrupt Amun priests who have grown to be very rich and powerful enough to even challenge the Pharaoh. However, his mistake is instead of going after the corrupt priests the crazy Moses went after God Amun, and that is why in the Old Testament Moses is forbidden by God to enter the Holy Land, and he did not. The famous military victories attributed to King David is that of the Pharaoh Thutmose III.*2 Tut is translated Dvd, as d and t, and u and v are interchangeable. Mose means “born of”. Hence the meaning of King David’s name is “Born of god Thut,” the ancient Egyptian Lunar deity and scribe of the gods. After the collapse of the 18th dynasty and Akhenaten aka Moses of Exodus, the ancient Semites have settled back in Canaan, meaning the land of merchant bankers in Phoenician, which is the Canaanite language, along with the Hebrew, as Jewish language, that derived from the Phoenician alphabet, while the Aramaic was the official language of the Assyrian empire. Anyway, the returning from Egypt Jews mixed with the local sea shore population and started explore across the sea and beyond as Phoenician traders. The two biggest tribes of Menasheh and Dan crossed the Mediterranean sea and established Macedonia. Later their descendant Alexander The Great have reconquered Egypt and installed the Ptolemaic dynasty. Others too as VIKINGS moved to northern Europe, Denmark, Britain (brit means covenant in Hebrew and ain means land, ish means man) as well as they founded the Rurik Russian dynasty. The rest is history. *1 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amenhotep_III (K. Solomon) *2 - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thutmose_III (K. David)
