>>510434598Problematic because Monotheism is older than Polytheism and there is flat out nothing to connect modern day Jews with Old Testement events or tbe deserts of Palestine any more than anyone else in the world.
There is actually a pretty good body of evidence to originate Hebrews in the Hebrides of the cost of Scotland and valid reason for thinkind Edinburgh to be Jerusalem, which is the literal meaning of Edinburgh. Plus it has a plausible Mount Zion in Arthur's Seat, also literally meaning the Throne of God.
Most likely these things happened in the sky but they definitely did not happen in waterless modern Jerusalem with a Roman-era fort and no river transport or fertile hinterland.
