Pretty good scope of things. How the religions took over the world.

I was very surprised by the spread of Buddhism, and how dominant Islam was in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. Christianity then appears from nowhere and starts dominating the world. Fascinating stuff.

Someone hasn't heard of Bible Unearthed or read the archaeology that Jewish peoples have always been around Canaan, that there was no exodus, Abraham is mythological...

So many faults - no mention of Taoism, the true gods, indiginous religions.

And latest thinking is that chimpanzees had religion....

Let's see a video on the spread of atheism.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

The whole exodus thing is like a nail in the coffin More on Exodus here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXtSt_iCM8XMy0Z-B2w9LSg Open the video tab and search for exodus. Most videos are from June 2013. There are a few dozen quick lectures and talks on different views regarding the exodus. Not all views are those of archaeology but also theology and biblical scholarship. What I find fascinating are some of the views of theologians and scholars. A few do not even hold the views that the exodus was a literal event but a feel good story for a nation looking for an independent identity separate from the Canaanites.

Monkey Bling!
