>> BTW Hebrew Scriptures were written around 1000BC during the time of King David and were officially defined and closed in 91 AD. <<

In an article breathtakingly called “Score one for the believers,” the NYT concluded that the book of Joshua was written by a witness to the fall of Jericho, based on the book containing knowledge which couldn’t have been gleamed after the fact, and details which would have been unlikely to have survived oral transmission.

That would put the battle of Jericho at 1300 BC, or, according to the Glasgow Chronology, 1600.

Oops... made a mistake. When I was checking for the battle of Jericho’s date, I misread the section on the Glasgow Chronology, which actually shifts only dates in Egyptian chronology, leaving the exodus to have occurred under a different pharoah.

Wierd thing: Is the “Shawshank Redemption” a reference to Pharouah Shashanq?
