"Is this Abraham in an ancient Egyptian tomb?

In 1890, archaeologists opened an Egyptian tomb and found something that should have been impossible. Painted on the wall, vibrant and preserved for 4,000 years, was a scene of foreign visitors entering Egypt.

They weren't Egyptian. They were Semitic. They carried advanced weapons, wore multi-colored royal coats, and their leader was identified by a specific name: Abisha.

For over a century, most scholars have treated this as just a generic scene of ancient trade. But what if they missed the most explosive detail of all?

In this episode, we're dusting off the file on the "Abisha" painting to investigate a mystery hiding in plain sight. I'll break down the linguistic clues, the timeline, and the visual evidence that challenges everything we think we know about the book of Genesis.

If this really is Abraham, then we have to completely rewrite our mental image of the Bible's most famous patriarch."

Interestingly, the names and dates match; the names mean the same thing in Egyptian and Hebrew... AND they mean the same in Mesopotamian, which is where 'Abraham' was from.

He would have been called Aadian, his Mesopotamian title/name; he wasn't called by his Hebrew name until much later writings.... and this isn't because the two names could sound similar, it's because they have the same meaning.

Also:

"The standard date, and I'm going to take the early date here for Exodus, is roughly 1446 BC. And if you go back 430 years from the law, you land in 1876 BC.
That's the year Abraham enters Canaan. (according to Paul the Apostle)

Genesis says he entered the land, traveled for a bit, and then a famine hit. He went down to Egypt shortly after arriving. So let's look at
the numbers.

Abraham arrives in Egypt approximately 1876 BC. And the Beni
Hassan painting is painted approximately 1878 BC. We're talking about a difference of maybe 2 years.

Historically speaking, that is a bullseye. Even if our calculations are off by a decade or two, which happens all the time in ancient chronology, we're squarely in the same generation.

Abraham and Aisha are contemporaries." (at least)

TYPO Corrected: "Israel completely out of control and Dummkopf Trumpf is friends with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan"

~snip~

But the error does fit, as the Turkish supremo can be a bit "churlish" and ethnic cleanser Bibi has been unleashed upon the Middle East.


"Thanks hardworking American taxpayers!

Please keep sending me money to kill more Muslims in the Middle East like pretty soon the Turks while I maintain my world class universal healthcare system for Israelis and you stupid Americans suffer with SNAP cuts, the BBB, and medical bankruptcies.

And vote for AIPAC candidates on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026. you schmucks!

Signed,

Bibi"

"FUNNY"

Like that imbecile Ballwasher has ever bothered to read the 14th amendment.

Fourteenth Amendment
Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Ex-FDA workers warn Trump cuts will increase risk of food safety lapses in US (January 2026)
www.theguardian.com

... Sweeping cuts and the "politicization of science" inside the Food and Drug Administration have increased the risk of safety lapses across the US, former agency workers warned.

Less than a year after Donald Trump returned to power, and his administration oversaw the firing and resignation of thousands of FDA employees, a listeria outbreak that killed six people and sickened 27 across 18 states due to contamination of prepared pasta meals underlined the danger posed by safety failings.

"Those kinds of things are going to keep coming," said David Harbourt, a former veterinary safety manager at the FDA, who was fired last year. The agency's work "has been compromised for at a minimum, the short term, hopefully not the long term", he claimed. "But it's those aspects of American people's lives that we almost take for granted that are going to be affected in a very negative way in the coming years."

About 19,700 employees worked at the agency before Trump officials introduced waves of firings, voluntary retirement and resignation programs. Thousands subsequently left, although some workers were later rehired.

"I am concerned that by letting go so many people, by offering early retirement, it's like that kids' game Jenga where you pile up all these wooden pieces," said Sandra Eskin, CEO of Stop Foodborne Illness, a non-profit, and former deputy under secretary for food safety at the US Department of Agriculture. "And if you pull one out from the bottom or even the middle, the whole thing falls apart. ...


Weren't some of the cuts in Pres Trump's bill delayed until after the mid-terms due to their unpopulatiry?

OK, found this ...

The Republicans Are Going to Kill People -- but Not Until After They Vote
newrepublic.com

... Now comes the biggest problem. When the Republican Congress enacted Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill in July 2025, it included massive cuts in the Medicaid program, totaling around $1 trillion over 10 years"but made sure to postpone them until 2027, conveniently after the midterm elections.

The cuts focused on adding onerous work and paperwork requirements, all designed to force recipients off the rolls, and will remove somewhere between 10 and 15 million people from the program, leaving them without any health coverage. That is in addition to the millions losing coverage or facing huge premium increases with the erasure of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act.

But the impact will go far beyond those directly losing their health insurance. Medicaid money does not go to Medicaid recipients. It goes to the providers. The loss of a major chunk of the money going out to them will have big reverberations.

The American health care system, unlike in most advanced countries, was jerry-built, a combination of public and private entities, and state and federal involvement. But the public and private are not separate. They are like the organs in the human body"if one declines or fails, it has huge impact on the others. And these cuts are going to reverberate in many catastrophic ways. ...
