“All is made clear,regarding Abraham and Sarah's traversal into Egypt, when we realize what biblicists meant by the term "Egypt." As Ralph Ellis so brilliantly points out, the name Egypt was employed by the composers of the Old Testament to denote Thebes in Lower Egypt. This was the city and region controlled by the adversaries of the Hyksos. It was considered a separate region, with different rulers, gods, customs, and politics. So, it was not the country of Egypt that Abraham visited, but Thebes within Egypt.” MadeDifferentCountryNamesTermRealizingCitiesClearRegionsCustomsControlledComposerRulersTestamentEgyptEmployedAdversariesAbrahamOld Testament Author:Michael Tsarion
“One of the most important finds within the land of Egypt occurred when the Egyptologist and archaeologist Professor Walter B. Emery (1903-1971) was excavating tombs at the necropolis of Saqqara, one of the oldest cities in the land. There Professor Emery discovered men with blond hair and fair complexions. These individuals were revered and honored by the Egyptians as specially endowed elite.” MenImportantIndividualCitiesLandHairFairsProfessorsElitesEgyptHonoredTombsComplexionArchaeologists Author:Michael Tsarion
