There are two different "when was the Bible really written" questions. One is about when the materials in the Bible were reduced to written form ~ the assumption being that earlier they were strictly oral and passed on from learned sage to learned sage. The other question is about the age of the oldest written documents ~ or reasonable facsimiles thereof.

What this finding does is reset the clock concerning when writing in a particular alphabet appeared in a setting wherein we might find Hebrew priests. This discovery resets the clock back another thousand years or so.

I would imagine that eventually something will be found that's signed by Abram ~ most likely it will be in Sumerian in Sumerian hieroglyphic text. That'll kick the clock back another 3,000 years.

About that time it will be recognized that the ancient stories told in stone petroglyphs on the Kola Peninsula (in Scanderhoovia) were also included in the Hebrew texts ~ and that'll reset the clock again, but this time back to 7,000 BC or thereabouts ~ as far as the "written form" goes. Some of the materials may well have been inspired during the last glaciation ~ hence the interest in destroyed planes of existence and great floods.

Five out of six uses of the word, “Scandihoovia” in all the internet are yours. (The sixth probably is, too, but it’s not FR.) So you’ve invented a word, and expect people to know what you’re referring to? I’m guessing (since you reference Kola) you’re meaning Scandinavia?

Since the 18th Century it has been the practice of “Enlightened” scholars to deny the great antiquity of Scripture. The point being to accuse its writers of having created fiction rather than reality.
