Middle East is just one damn thing after another.

Well, except for Mecca. There is apparently nothing, nada, zilch from before the 8th century. So much for Islam’s mother of all cities.
Kinda puts stank on those young earthers and their 6000 year timeframe.
In another segment, I read where they were using a computer program to digitally piece together broken pottery shards. In yet another aticle, it showed a guy looking at a screen full of pieces, selecting a piece, drag and drop it near the scan of a partially constructed pot and watch while the computer rotated the piece until it made a perfect fit, or not. Saved a lot of the mind-numbing manual method.
Clever use of Technology.
Thanks for posting. I hadn’t heard this.
One belief about the earliest Dead Sea Scroll findings was that the Arabs who found the jars first used some of the scrolls to burn for heat in a campfire. Lost forever.
People in photo are hurrying so as to get out of the way of the new Starbucks being built on the site.
If someone finds new scroll pieces they can wrap them around cardboard coffee cups.

That are Important!”

Somewhat contradictory.
It had to have been a typo. As I recall, the caves themselves were created to hide the scrolls.
Zechariah 8:16-17
"These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace; do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord ."
Nahum 1:5-6
"The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it. Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken into pieces by him.
“Send this to every Congressman who validated the election, and former VP Pence. “

Thanks for posting the scripture verses.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are like poison to those who hate God.
Confirmatory evidence of the reliability of the Bible.
Too late for them, whatever was lost doesn’t matter. We have the evidence.
Tom Holland research indicating that Muhammad was a fictional character created in the 8th century makes a lot of sense.
Somewhat contradictory.
Not at all. When dealing with passage of the Bible, even a slight variance - the omission or addition of even only a single word, sometimes - could significantly change the meaning.
This is, after all, the Bible we are talking about here!
Regards,
Maybe.
Another option is that the original “Mecca” was actually Petra. Early prayer walls in mosques point towards Petra (not Jerusalem) and that city better matches the descriptions given for “Mecca”.
Thanks rdl6989.
Have you read that theory by Tom Holland? To me it sounds highly plausible that Mohammad never existed.
that word is a title not a name - a title meaning “praise worthy one”
And there is no mention of Mo or Islam during the Ummayyad Caliphate.
