Dear Walter I find it interesting that your update of 1st June 2004 resembles closely the post that I have made regarding Ursu-Osarseph-Bay and the exodus...
Hi All: The moderators are aware that there are questions, comments and some complaints about list members wandering too broadly and too freely into general...
Hi all, as a slightly tangential line to the thread George and I have been pursuing, I thought it would be worth quoting a source on teh nature of Bronze Age...
Hi all, now, I am well aware that this rather ignominious military episode is well outside the timespan of the list, but I am not going to tackle anything...
Richard, I'm still working on a response to your last post about Judges, Richard. But in the meantime.... I'm not quite sure how this helps your case in the ...
Djehuti or others, there may be a lot more we can learn from this Cretan/Minoan tradition of a Larnax or Larnake or "chest" used to bury the dead. Some Larnax...

I suggest that scholars go back previous to Josephus and Manetho. Go back to the original sources: the Twelfth Dynasty literature and read what the people who...
Well Jon, at least you have stated your position quite clearly. Now I would have to wonder why you would throw out a host of Hittite treaties but still believe...
Jon, I was not questioning the veracity of the sources, I was pointing out that these coffins bear proof of the Headgear of Sea Peoples in Beth Shean at such a...
John C., I think it important you brought the Libu into your discussion with Jon D. about Sea Peoples activities. There was a coastal confederation of Libu,...
