The city of Shechem where ancient history matches our Bible

Submitted by Lujack Skylark (United States), May 1, 2010 at 02:22

God terrorized the cities surrounding Shechem (Genesis 35:4-5) making it easier for Egyptian king Senusert III to annex Canaan. Joseph dealt with the economies of both Egypt and Canaan. (Genesis 47:13-17)

Some say you cannot match ancient history with the Jewish Bible, yet Bahr Yousef (Joseph's canal) was completed in Amenemhet III's reign and he was the son of Senusert III.

And Egyptian historians wonder why the Sakkara kings list omits all Egyptian kings after Pepi II and before Mentuhotep II and the Abydos kings list omits all Egyptian kings after Amenemhet IV and before Ahmose. The omitted kings never existed. Take away the phony kings and the history matches our Bible.

Seems strange people are not interested in history,yet are hostile towards Israel. The Jews have 3,900 years of history in Israel from after Abraham left Haran until our present life time, yet the world is not interested. The nations in our world in the need for oil sides with Israel's enemies at every turn. This sadly means Israel will have to go to war to protect the Jewish nation.
