@Geoffrey51 As far as historical records show, polygamy was practised by those who could well afford it, i.e. the Elite of the social orders. Monogamy was more a thing practised by lower classes of the Social Order,though the Romans, until Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian ( later to be known as Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus) enacted, tried to enact I should say, his MORAL Codes for ALL Romans in an effort to put a stop the Elites and their practises of having 1 wife and numerous 'lovers,' having sexual intercourse with slaves of any gender, etc, etc. I know quite well of the LDS dictat re-Polygamy btw.

@bbyrd009 Since egyptians often spoke of a 'sea of reeds' situated between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea as a crossing point from Egypt to the Middle East, approx. where the Suez Canal meets the Mediterranean Sea near Port Said, then yes that bit is quite factual, BUT, the biblical 'Exodus' myth is just that, a myth, fairy story and nothing more or less. And, the only 'departures of Hebrews' from Egypt actually recorded are the very regular ones of them leaving AFTER they'd availed themselves of the bounties provided by Egyptian agriculture during times of drought and famine in the Middle East and the Expulsion of one Hebrew Mercenary, named Mosheh, and 600 Hebrrew men, women and children from Goshen where they paid by the King of Egypt, Ramses the Great, to guard and protect the Goshen township and entry point to Egypt BUT they instead decided to resort to their ages old methods of Extortion, Slave Trading, Arson, Caravan Robbing, Raping and Pillaging and under Egyptian Law, them being foriegners they could NOT be executed BUT could be Expelled and Exiled permanently. As they exited Egypt via the REED Sea and crossed the lands into the Middle East they not only continued on with their criminal activities BUT also plundered and destroyed the caches of water and food supplies that the Egyptians had placed at regularly daily intervals as reserve supplies for Caravans and the like, caches known in Egyptian as " Mannuha Raa" and translated by the Hebrews into the words "Manna from Heaven."

For example, when I had my roof insulated in 2005 there were 7 very large bags (bags with a capacity of 40 kilos each btw) of accumulated dust and concentrates vaccummed from within the ceiling spaces BEFORE the insulation could be installed. Here it IS advisable to NEVER hang out the laundry on days when the winds blow in from the south anywhere between the east and west simply because your clean laundry will end up with dust and skimps all over it in no time at all.

This is OUR country, our predecessors settled here and built it up. NOT the Politicians and Political Parties yet we sit back in apathy and let THEM sel out from under our feet. Even the aboriginal peoples are so apatthetic at times that all they seem interested in is how much compensation ,etc, there is in it for them, it often makes me ashamed to have aboriginal blood and heritage running through my veins when I hear of how other Elders are only interested in the money and not the traditions of lands and the peoples.

@FearlessFly I have always remembered what I was taught by a very highly educated High Scholl Science teacher with more degrees after his name than I can recall , " Never accept anything you are told as being 'Gospel' not matter who is telling you, including me, for we ARE merely humans and very arrogant and fallible creatures to say the very least, research for yourself, absorb knowledge like a sponge does water, weigh the evidences, the Pros and the Cons, then remember to always leave room for doubt and further developments that will come over time." So, I hope, most sincerely, that answers at least some of your questions because IF it were NOT for those who doubted. questioned and researched for themselves then would we not still be living the dark ages?

@FrayedBear It IS a relatively simple calculation, my daughter at the tender age of 8 could do it in her head but maybe that's because she was actually learning to be the youngest Female Amateur Radio Operator in Australia at the time. For example, time in relation to GMT ( Greenwich Mean Time) or UTC ( Universal Time Co-ordinates) advances as you travel EAST from Greenwich and decreases accordingly as you travel west from Greenwich until you hit the International Date Line which runs through the Pacific Ocean. ALL Times zones across the globe are measured from Greenwich Mean Time and the the zero Merdian that passes through the Greenwich Observatory in England. Most world Atlases have the Time Zones marked on them for each country and those zones and times are relative to GMT.

@Seminarian Sumaria was an entirely different region to what is now called Israel and Palestine. Ancient Egypt had an accord with Babylon, Persia and Assyria, then later there was a Peace treaty drawn up between Egypt and the hitite Empire when Ramses the Great was on the Egyptian throne ( check REAL historical records IF you don't believe me). I do NOT make assumptions and never made assumptions whilst studying for any of the Degrees I have earned. I was taught from a very young age to learn with an open mind, listen carefully, ask questions and expect answers in return, researching EVERYTHING and anything for and by myself, weighing up the Pros and the Cons, sorting Facts from Fallacies and then making my own decisions based on the evidence before me.

@Seminarian You ARE attempting to "preach to the Choir" here since I do have a Doctorate Degree in Theology AND comparative Modern Religions, a ThD to be exact hence my 'screen name here being 'Triphid ), plus a Degree in Ancient History specializing in the Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean regions as well. Ancient Egypt ruled over the lands from the Nile Valley through to Kadesh right up until the time of Tutankhamun and the failed invasion of Egypt by the Matanni Kingdom and still ruled the lands, though a little less 'imperially' when Alexander the Great came along. The downfall of Egypt came later into reign of the Ptolemy Dynasty and their involvement with Rome. The 'city' of Jerusalem was not established, nor an actual city, until prior to the assumed reign of King David btw. So-called 'biblical' Archaeologists are world renowned for putting a bent on findings to suit their religiously based needs, ergo their 'findings' can be 'taken with a grain of salt' by the true and REAL Archaeologists.

" A real dbag move" you say in these times of Covid 19 running almost rampant across the globe. Why should religions, ALL religions, be exempted from the Social Distancing, Isolation Rules/Laws AND be declared as being Essential Services when even the bible tells that Jesus said, " Where ever two or more gather to pray and worship, I shall be there, " and the Koran states clearly that, "to pray and worship Allah one only needs a prayer mat on which to knee and worship?' Ergo, no-one needs a Church, Temple, Mosque, etc, etc, to worship and pray therefore they ARE NOT essential at all since these, so-called, Holy Scriptures themselves say they are not.

@FrayedBear Yeah I managed to get him clear but only after we both copped lungfulls of that foul garbage. 4 weeks in hospital, the first 2 weeks with tubes coming out of us everywhere and oxygen going in 24/7 through our noses, multiple x-rays and lung capacity assessments. My lung capacity at present is about 87-88% on my good days, 81-83% on bad days, his is about 85-86% on good days and about 79-80% on bad days. I got hauled over the coals a few months later for NOT running the 3/4 of kilometre back to the Stores room and getting the Respirator Equipment before dragging him out. They did, however, discover soon after we were removed by ambulance to the hospital that the Locker hold the Respirators was locked and the keys WERE NOT in the box where they should ALWAYS have been plus that the Pressure Release Safety valve fitted was meant to be fitted to a 26,000 litre tanker and NOT to a 36,000 litre tanker and that the Dangerous Goods Regulations had been broken by shipping it during Summer and not in Winter as the Regulations directed. We are BOTH still waiting for the Owners/Shippers and the Railways to come to an agreement on our Compensation Case which has been running since late 1987 our Barristers recently calculated that with Accrued Interest added in, our ompensation should amount to approx. 11.5 Million dollars each IF an agreement is ever reached.
