OK...Early on I say "according to Genesis" which most people will recognize this as Biblical, When referencing the migration out of Egypt and the conquest of Cannan. The basic facts stated in this video from Assyrian, Seleucid and Roman periods are commonly accepted and have non-biblical accounts to back them up. The earlier Periods use the book of Judges, Kings and Chronicles as primary sources...So, if you have a problem with that...well I feel sorry you are offended so easily...I think based on the evidence this is the most likely course of events to have taken place....Interesting Mesopotamian kings lists with way less detail (also including mythical aspects) are accepted without question. In my Roman video, I reference the early Roman mythical kings who were probably based on real figures and in the China video I reference the state of Xia because again these basic facts are usually loosely based on real events (ie Longshan culture) I think logically looking at the Old Testament account the more macro the facts stated the larger the likelihood of that event having taken place, that is why I did not include more of the micro-narratives during this period as those are less likely to be varifible at any point by an outside source Whether you belive this narrative you can either enjoy it and study it more...or you can cry about it.
The age of Judges does not have written sources outside of the Biblical account...But there is plenty of evidence for kings such as Ahab 871-852 BC and the divided kingdom period written from Assyrian accounts etc...but it would make sense a state of Israel and Judah did not just appear in the 9th century BC...At this point, there is not a continuous record going back to the 14th-15th centuries BC but I think given the bronze age collapse, it makes perfect logical sense that the power vacuum would be filled...just as the Phoenician city-states filled the power vacuum in the north Levant. I think the narrative from Chronicles, kings, Judges makes sense until proven otherwise...(ie written accounts from that time and place)...So far Assyrian accounts etc jive with that narrative.

It's because we all run on an operating system and their operating system is called the spirit of Antichrist (not joking, it's actually true) so anything of truth they absolutely hate cause Satan is of a lie. My advice to all is research with open eyes, not through the eyes of others and pray in secret. Worked for me anyway because as the scriptures say... All that hate God, love death. Peace 👍
YAHUSHA is Torah Catholism isn’t the true Christianity read in the bible. Catholism is based on Roman paganism, it’s been mixed in with the ideas of Christianity. But it’s not the truth. The minority’s of true Christians follow exactly what happened in the account of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues and were baptised by full Emersion, not with sprinkling of water on babies heads. I myself am filled with the Holy Spirit and I disagree with all the Christian churches out there that say they follow God when truth is they’re all backslidden and based on paganism even the cult Christian groups. The Jews follow the Torah and reenact what is it in, so the Christians are supposed to follow every step of the whole old and New Testament including receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in tongues just as the 12 Apostles did and the 120 in the upper room on the day of Pentecost this included Mary. Modern day Christianity has basically done away with this through the belief that it stopped happening after the apostles died, but they were so wrong.
Just finished the book 2nd book of chronicles there ( that was a hard read). Your video really helped me understand all the different clans and the area they controlled.

While I agree, many people refer to the Torah or the first few books of the Bible as Genesis because those texts were usually together (as all those writings were from Moses)
@@joshuapinkham They referred to the first five books as the Pentateuch, with the first book being called Genesis (the beginning). It wouldn't make sense to call 5 different books with differing genres the same name.

Also as punishment for the last rebellion against the Romans, Hadrian renamed the province of Judea to Palestine. He did this to insult the Jews by renaming their land to what their arch rivals, the Philistines, called it. He also expelled the Jews (and Christians among them) from the newly formed Palestine and this began the Jewish diaspora in Europe, Asia Minor and Northern Africa.
Lol as If 4 million people living under occupation doesn't matter cause the name of the land they live on was changed 2000 years ago, like names of nations are the least relevant factor in the existence of said nations, it's the people who inhabit these lands make the difference, not a name, Saudi Arabia was a name that was formed less than one hundred years ago, named after the royal family, does that mean "Saudi Arabia" is fake? No you dumbass, names don't make nations, nations make names for themselves
@Jason M I'll explain the stupidity of your argument, although I know it's pointless because you already made your mind and you're not gonna change it, arabs are not an ethnicity but rather a linguistic group, a common Arabic saying is (العربي من تحدث العربية) meaning an arab is one who speaks Arabic, Arabia is the origin of adnani and qahdani arabs who are the original speakers of Arabic, but arabs living in the Levant, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, etc... aren't arabs by ethnicity, but arabs by language, so the Palestinians aren't from Arabia, but from Palestine, they've been arabized after Islamic conquest, and they speak Arabic, and the south of Palestine(that territory is now undisputed Israeli territory) some arab tribes immigrated there, that's why some Palestinians dress traditional arab clothing. Again, I know that won't make a difference, because you aren't saying that to get an answer but rather to sound smart and witty, but you're not, so stop trying
@Jason M Ibn Khaldoun in his book (the history of ibn Kahldoun) classified arabs into two classifications, the surviving, and the Perishing, and he acknowledged that they both come from different origins, the ones who went extent were called perishing arabs and are from Babylon, and the surviving are from Yemen and hijaz, modern arab historians classify the surviving into three classifications, also acknowledging that every class is from different origin, which are, 1-العرب العاربة (roughly translated to the original/pure arabs who are from Yemen also called Qahdani arabs) 2-العرب المتعربة(also roughly translated to adopting arabs, they are from hijaz and they adopted Arabic from the perishing arabs who lived north of Arabia) 3-العرب المستعربة( the arabized arabs, they are from the Levant, Egypt and north Africa, they have been arabized after Islamic conquest) The arab league defines an arab as:" someone who speaks Arabic, has an arab nationality/citizenship, has the hopes and ambitions of other arabs" In conclusion: Arabs are no ethnicity, Egyptians were never called arabs before Islamic conquest, could they have transformed or changed their ethnicity to arabs? No they just learned Arabic and adopted Arabic traditions so they became arab
Just as a side note, when hearing about history one of the most pervasive issues that most people (including me) have is actually REALIZING the sometimes very long periods of time involved. For instance, it is really easy sometimes to forget that when someone gives a start and end date, that could span a 500 year period. Just step back and consider what 100 years means and how much can change in that span of time, let alone 5 times that. History is really amazing and interesting, but my aforementioned point is ALWAYS a good habit to consider. Wrapping your head around an idea, but then taking it that one simple step adds SO much context, and your understanding can grow exponentially because of it. Thanks for the summary!
@@terner1234... we are more aware of it as well which means we subconsciously feel as though 100 yrs is a long time. Personally I believe humans have been around for hundreds if thousands of years. Just going by our propensity to kill ourselves and erase our histories, not to mention the unquestionable fact that tyranny ALWAYS destroys knowledge and erases it to keep it for themselves, I can almost guarantee that there have been hundreds if not thousands of generations before us. We probably simply killed off the other cousins of ours like the Neanderthals simply because they were competing with sapiens...
@Gary Allen When I was as child I played on the mounds in cahokia park and always felt strange as if I knew this was sacred ground. I'm glad they have closed it off and is a historical site now. My great grandmother is a Mississippi Chatah(english name Choctaw) and I was fascinated by the fact they had people on a reservation in walking distance from my grandparents home. People from that era say we were here before the ships and I believe them over the lying writers of our history. There's a direct correlation with Haran, Morocco. Bolivia and north America

No one is disputing the presence of the Jewish people in the Near East since antiquity. But as this video illustrates, this land was inhabited and conquered by many groups of people over thousands of years. What we object to is people pointing to the historical existence of a few Jewish kingdoms that lasted a few hundred years as a justification for modern-day settler colonialism and the apartheid governance, ethnic cleansing, and industrial slaughter of the indigenous people of Palestine that is required to maintain it.
@lonicerasempervirens "Palestinians" are not indigenous and the Jews existed in the land for many centuries. They were only fully dispossessed in 76 AD.
Your videos are good. Just two things I suggest you do.

But like I said you're videos are really good and I'm not going anywhere as a subscriber.
@@WILLIAN_1424 Actually Kenny Research tells me that the very word history comes from the phrase His Story, Meaning Jesus and The bible covers History, Right now, and the future, It also tells us what to.do, what to eat, We would be much better off if we listened to what the bible is trying to tell us, and not knock it with false accusations. it is more perfect then we as humans will be while were alive.

@@EpimetheusHistory It's 150 years old - but thousands of years old. If it's USA, then there was some Native American history. Or maybe it was just wilderness?

And even after written sources: how true are they?
HOW DO YOU KNOW? 99% OF SO CALL CHRISTIANS NEVER READ THE BIBLE, SPECIFICALLY THE OLD TESTAMENT TO LEARN THE STORIES. HOW THE HECK IT'S PRETTY ACCURATE WHEN YOU HAVE NO ACCOUNT FOR WHO THE ISRAELITES ARE TODAY?
@@shaunibabe1 Hebrews 4:12 [12]For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
most holy readings (books) are based on hearsay and stories, but a large percentage of bible stories have been authenticated by archeology. There is no denying for instance Roman coins found in Jerusalem prove that the Romans occupied the city; stones under the Al Aksa mosque have been found with high levels of ash; proving the story that the city was burned down by the Romans. Crusader Temples and fortresses are built throughout Israel showing that Christians claimed the Holy land. You get the idea; Ottoman artifacts, Christian, Jewish artifacts and archeology prove the glorious, devastating, destruction and history of ancient Israel. And then...……….. there is the rebirth of Israel and modern history.
@@avi3860 "authenticated by archaeology" not at all. there were never Jewish slaves in Egypt for example (verified by Egyptian historians and Jewish historians and many more). they were never deposed by the Babylonians (and as a result partially were held as slaves en mass) as well. just because one part of the story is true, that does not give credence to the rest. we know that Rome had occupied isreal not because of roman coinage, not because of coins found under ash layers, but because the Romans talked about it. they made administrative documents. they marched armies. we know it because the Jewish people had a massive revolt (the Maccabees revolt) at around 70ce. neighboring cities and nations noticed these armies and wrote about them. its called cooperating evidence, to which the bible is lacking in several eras (such as no census being taken in the area from 40bce - 100ce, and earlier stories). where as most instances of evidence biblical moguls tend to cling too are straight from the bible itself, while ignoring the mountains of evidence that most of the time bring forth the conclusion that: *archaeology in fact does not authenticate a large percentage of the bible as true*
@@darkelite824 Please, if you will, stick to facts and not mythology; "the slaves in Egypt for example as opposed to Jewish symbols, manuscripts and scrolls written in ancient Hebrew; or archaeological digs which have unearthed Jewish origins and history; modern and biblical. Archaeology and the Relevance to the Bible: * Laws of Moses; Psalms of David, prophets of Israel, the teachings of Jesus. * Customs; the ten Commandments, eating Kosher, marriage and divorce laws; Mikvah (ritual baths used only by Jews). * History of the Jews; Dead Sea Schools, Menorah, inscriptions, manuscripts and scrolls written in ancient Hebrew discovered all over the Middle East. * Language - Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and lesser languages Canaanite, Philistine, Babylonian, Person, Assyrian and Latin. * People of the Bible and events: Sargon (Isaiah 20:1); Sennacherib (Isaiah 37); and thousands of other well recognized figures. too long to post, but open for you to check. The Dead Sea Scrolls are 2,000 years old and are proven records of the Bible and Jewish history. They are written in ancient Hebrew (not in Arabic and certainly not in Palestinian script). 3,000-year-old Hebrew inscription found with the words “to do” which existed only in the Hebrew language, unearthed at Elah. Numerous inscriptions have been found in ancient synagogues showing Jewish religious symbols and proving Jewish ancient existence. Underground tunnels were found under the El Aksa mosque under Jerusalem dating from 70AD. Tons of pottery shards, oil lamps and coins proved to be belonging to Jews hiding under the city in anticipation of the Roman conquest. One of the most conclusive evidence of Jewish origins are the hundreds upon hundreds of mikvot (ritual baths) found all over Israel from North, South, East and West. Only Jews used the mikvah for ritual purposes. There are hundreds of references in the bible which have been proved factual by archaeology for instance; the cities of Solomon - Hazor, Megiddo and Gesher. (l Kings 9:15). Today, with photographic drones, modern rock penetrating scanners, lasers and hi frequency sound waves and equipment; archaeology has advanced to such a sophisticated degree prove ancient buildings, documents and the bible are important references and jumping off points for archaeology. Jewish origins and history surface every other week; and it will be the blind and the "don’t really want to know, cos I am a coward" cult, who are being left behind.
@Adam Price did I say that Moses was Jewish? I mentioned the laws of Moses (the Ten Commandments) according to the myth was handed to the Jewish people for the betterment of the world...obviously that did not work very well as the world is inhabited by trashhumanisation

+Luis Luis Then how do you explain the golden bells from the high priest from the kings era, being found in Jerusalem by arqueologists? That alone disproves your theory.
Luis Luis, to answer your question, look no further than several archaeological finds for proof (if you don't want to accept the Torah as your answer). First, The 'Silver Scroll': dated to around 700 BCE, is a silver scroll that has the priestly blessing scrawled on it. the dating proves several things. A) that The Jews were in the Land of Israel/Canaan prior to 586 BCE (the date of when Babylonians razed Solomon's Temple to the ground, and took the Jewish elites into captivity, effectively ending the 'first' state of Judea) and B) That Paleo-Hebrew goes back to at LEAST 700 BCE, if not well before then. Second, Hezekiah's Tunnel Tablet inscription; prior to Judea being taken over by the Babylonians, the Assyrian king attempted to conquer Judea. Having knowledge of the Assyrian King's intentions, King Hezekiah, expanded the walls around Jerusalem and fortefied the water access to the Gihon Spings (the only water source in Jerusalem). In order to do this, he had to have a HUGE tunnel built from two different sides so that they would connect the spring (outside the city walls) to the inside of the old city. When this feat was accomplished, he had an inscription scrawled inside the tunnel to forever document the occassion. That inscription was found by the british archaeologist Sir Charles Warren. Lastly, there is an old Assyrian Tablet describing/pictograph where King Jehu of Israel (approx. 800 BCE) paying homage and 'submitting' to the King of Assyria SHELMANASAR, this is just prior to Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel. There is AMPLE proof that this area is the native home of the Israelites/Jews and there is written, archaeologic and historic proof of this inside the land as well as the surrounding areas. All one has to do is search with an open mind and forget ones prejudice.
Yeah, like the arabs NEVER attempted to have a genocidal conquest against the Jews. Sure. Israel/Mossad NEVER wage wars of expansion, only defensively. The arabs were offered more than 75% of Historic Palestine, created the Kingdom of Jordan and that STILL was not enough. They wanted historic Judea, Samaria and Gaza, they were offered that AND East Jerusalem, and that STILL was not enough! Arafat walked away time and again! The Israeli's left Gaza, and what is it today? The shit hole filled with Terrorists who suppress their own people and steal BILLIONS of AID DOLLARS. What do they do with all that money? Do they build hospitals, energy, create jobs? No. They use it on weapons, to build tunnels and to terrorize Israel. Israel, on the other hand, incorporates it's Arabs into its own. They serve in the Army, Vote, have their own political parties, go to school and are the MOST Educated (highest percentage of doctors in all of the middle east). So take your anti-semitic rhetoric and SHOVE IT UP YOUR OWN ASS!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📜 Before the establishment of a monarchy, ancient Israel was divided into 12 semi-autonomous Hebrew tribes led by judges. 01:24 ⚔️ David, after defeating Goliath, became a prominent figure and later king, uniting the tribes and making Jerusalem the capital. 02:35 🤝 After Solomon's death, the ten northern tribes rebelled against the south, leading to a divided kingdom - Israel in the north and Judah in the south. 03:16 🌊 Israel fell to the Assyrians, leading to the mysterious fate of the ten northern tribes. 03:57 🏛️ Judah was conquered by Babylonians, resulting in the destruction of Jerusalem and exile. 05:05 🌍 Rome absorbed Judea into the empire, leading to conflicts and eventually the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. 05:18 🔍 A lightning-fast history of ancient Israel and Judah, highlighting key events and transitions in the region's history. Made with HARPA AI
Before the establishment of Israel the Canaanites already lived there. The Israelis had to get rid of them first. So they dehumanised them (Sounds familiar) and said they worshipped false Idols such as "El", which is strange as "Israel" is derived from worship for the God El "Isra El". This, plus the lack of evidence of an exodus out of Egypt and zero Egyptian influence on their pottery and homes etc leads archeologists to think the Israelis were just Canaanites. And there is quite a lot of evidence to support this, as the first Israeli settlements resemble Canaanite structures and their pottery also resembled that of the Canaanites..
An enlightening video, Judah's position as a border State between the Seleucid and the Ptolemic empires , as well as the details of the Pompey Magnus period were thought provoking and informative. Thank You.

@@hetaeramancer With his arrival in Cebu on March 17, 1521, his first attempt was to colonize the islands and to Christianise its inhabitants. The story goes that Magellan met with Rajah Humabon, ruler of the island of Cebu, who had an ill grandson. Magellan (or one of his men) was able to cure or help the young boy, and in gratitude Humabon allowed himself, his chief consort Humamay, and 800 of his subjects to be baptised en masse. In order to achieve this, Spain had three principal objectives in its policy towards the Philippines: the first was to secure Spanish control and acquisition of a share in the spice trade; use the islands in developing contact with Japan and China in order to further Christian missionaries’ efforts there; and lastly to spread their religion. - "The Early Spanish Period, 1521-1762".

I know is a lot of history to cover in just one video, but this video is so light that leave people with more questions that answers. I would prefer a longer video or a series of videos. And explain things like who are the seleucids
I think as my channel expands I will see which condensed histories have the most interest, and do more in-depth videos on those topics. I.E My India and Spain videos showed people had interest so I did further videos on those regions. If this video does well I may do a video concerning just the period of Judges, Divided kingdom period or just on the Hasmonean dynasty. My China video did well so I got a more focused video on a part of that history coming up. I am just one guy making these videos with close to zero funding and limited expendable time so I don't want to spend 20+ hours making a video and no one watch it
Seleucids are super interesting BTW they were an empire made by one of Alexander's Macedonian generals and were a rival of the early Roman empire. That would be a great video topic too :)
oh yes, i understand that. You ask for feedback so that was what i tried to do. Sorry if it sounded other wise, i'm a native Spanish speaker from Costa Rica, so my English is not the best and I might have sounded like i didn't like the video, but that's not the case at all.
No problemo amigo, espanol es mi primera lengua tambien cuando soy muy joven...pero ahora mi español necesita mucha practica...I think this week or next I might try to do a video in Spanish to see if there is an audience for that :)
The time period between the Maccabean Hasmonean dynasty and the two Roman wars is fascinating. Especially the political and religious sects, the pro and anti Roman factions, and the messianic claimants.
Lol actually after 3 failed rebellions against the Romans, the rabbi leaders of the jews back than announced new religious laws that forbid starting another rebellion until the Massiah will come and free the jewish people. those laws lasted for 1800 years and that's why jews never tried to rebel again or fight against their persecutors, until Zionism showed up.
A great way to expand your channel's content would be if you made videos on specific empires or specific monarchs. Preferably ones that are less often talked about.
Judah Benjamin and Levi makes up the tribe of Judah and Israel are the remaining tribes. The tribe of Israel is still over around abound Africa and Judah was scattered throughout the four corners of the earth as the bible says. All the tribes are BLACK! Judah is the so called black people that everyone hates so much. Read Deuteronomy 28:68. White folks are always telling blacks to go back to Africa. Deuteronomy 28:68 tells how we got here.
Israel is the entire group of all 12 tribes. All the descendents from Jacob, who had 12 sons and his name was changed to Israel. Judah is one of the 12 tribes and the one where christ was set to come from.
If somebody is bothered by Bible being mentioned in a video concerning the Jewish people - wake up! What did you expect - where are they first mentioned? Such a small nations, who would write much about them, the great nations during their days of power. What did Rome write about? What did Egypt write about? Mostly about themselves. So did the Jewish - but at least they wote something about their neighburs too, besides when Israel conquerd them. Which didn't happen much. And they didn't write only about themselves - they wrote also about God. God of all the nations. Ususally when texts are ethnically very self-centered, they stay local, they don't wake up international interest. But Christianity has spread all over this planet. Why have people from so many so different cultures thought God speaks for us from that book? And even though it says we can't do nothing to save ourselves from our own evil, so many find that to be the tuth. While other religions advice 'you should do this and this to save yourself, to enlighten, to purify yourself, to smarten up, to lose your lust for life, to lose weight, to gain muscle, to get money, to disconnect from life, to connect to life' ... What other sources we have of the Jews, of Israel? Some. Yeah, use them as well, all we can access - and with the same critique you're ready to put on the Bible. People use Veda literature when examining Indian history. Or Chinese religious texts when studying Chinese history. Chronicles of Nestor when studying Russian history. They can't be bypassed, but of course they can't be the only sources. In the Midde East the Gilgamesh or the Egyptian Book of Death, Greek mythology (which is similar, but not 1 to 1 the same as Edda) or Roman accounts are not necessarily any more truthful than Bible - can be even more wrong in some cases. At any rate they have references to their divinities and beliefs, worldview. Any critical eye when reading those views? Greek stories sound more like the fables of the folklore, middle ages and later - very fairytale like with their monsters (bogies of our fearful minds), and 'knights' of bronze armor. That's more believable than Bible? The squabbly soap opera of 'gods'? It's like watching the Bold and Beautiful, King Arthur, or any medieval, or modern court schemes. Very human, seldom humane. How often the very so to say atheistic, scientifique, scholars build schools with Greco-Roman columns, and put the statues of the Greek and Roman gods in their hallways. Not once the answer is: 'Because they represent the human architypes, reminds us of the wisdom in their stories, we're not worshipping them, or course!' Seems no problem to them that gods and demigods jump around in their academically approvable stories. They don't believe they believe the old Greek and Roman mythologies. - Uh-huh... said the Big Black Mama, and gave you the knowing nod, the the side glance and turned around heavily, with audible breathing and waving her laced fan in the heat. It's Sunday, she's in her prettiest dress, relaxed and humming happy after the church. She's not a fan of idle talk, to put it nicely. She rather goes to see the bull eat some grass in he field. Life is kicking now. The prophets writing the Bible often say: 'This and this year of King This-and-that, the word God came to me'. The relationship they had with God made it very likely a person like that would not easily lie - not likely. They knew from their history that it may result in death. So they didn't play power games etc. Or you can claim that of course, but don't be too hasty to judge. How you can know they were not sincere when writing, you know better what happened then? What comes to Bible, be critical if you like, it's a pretty good approach. But even critique has it's limits: We have to eat, drink, use toilet etc. without always questioning our needs or even choices available. - God actually wants us to be honest and ask questions. He doesn't want slavish 'yes-boys'. And the contact can be established, hence the prayer. It's basically nothing more than speaking from your heart to God. Oh, and listening. The ratio is likely 1:2 - One mouth, or heart - 2 ears. He's capable of answering. He made a book series because of that, using scribes. But a straight fast dial connection can be established. Prayer. Once you have connection with God, it's pretty useless to argue if there is God or not. Like if you have contacts with your mother and father, you know they exist. But if you have never even seen them, it is tougher of course. And the misusing parents - oh b... Yeah. Then it's hard to beliee God is good.But God creates life. Even if your parents did everything else wrong, you got your body from them, and your mind is now here reading these things, thinking. Knowing God is knowing a person (be it rather impressive one - but a person), the oldest father of our family called mankind. It's not about what's this atom composed of. We can study those too. But he's more interested in - How are you, you feeling fine? Or: Why the anger, fear, despise in your eyes, the glee in your eyes? Why the doubt? Or if you don't doubt, it's: How are you, my dear child?
@Mike Gunnerst Thanks, I've been relaxed even when writing that. It was more in the mood of shaking my head why some people would think it odd if the Jews and Bible are mentioned together. What comes to shutting up, stones are shouting the same as the Bible, and what we people should we speaking about, and are oddly silent about. Bible is most relevant to mankind, the target audience.
@@arawn1061 Khazar Jews is a hoax and myth created by a Spanish sephardic rabbi who plagiarized a correspondence letter to the king of Khazaria and plagiarized the return letter from the king, because the Roman church said that Jews had to suffer as nationless people for killing Jesus. So to prove to Spanish Catholic priest that Jews did have a nation he created a hoax.

I watched a few of them dealing with Japanese history when I was busy with my PhD ( I had a section on Japanese Samurai armour and I needed to start somewhere on the historical background). I've since graduated and I'm now supervising a Master's student who is focusing on the plight of ancient refugees during the Exile period. This video helped to refresh my mind on the region's history.
Also in the tribes map, Ruben and Simeon are latinized/english versions of the original names which were Reuven and Shim'on. But overall he got a lot of names right and it's evident that he tried to find the original ones rather than whatever the English translations say.
@@justiniand6a788 Wasn't Samaria the former northern kingdom of Israel. The Samaritans were the people moved into the land when the Israelites were taken into slavery. When they came back thanks to Darius those Assyrian transplants remained in the land.
There are some interesting facts presented in this video. However, it's important for us to remember how it all got started. Jacob (Ya'aqob), later known as Israel (Yisra'el), purchased it as an inheritance for he & his descendants forever. Genesis (Bereshith), as well as the Book of Jasher (Yashar), gives a lot more details on how it all came about. We highly recommend it as a useful source for information & history. Hope this helps.
They’re not though, in Antiquity and till today, Judeans (which is another word for Jews and in Hebrew is Yehudim) is just a later name for Israelites (in Hebrew is Yisraelim). All Israelites became known as Judeans after the region was using the name Judea (Yehuda in Hebrew). Even when there were two kingdoms there, the people who lives in the kingdom of Judea were still Israelites, because the term comes from the 12 tribes era before they had established kingdoms.
Judeans are a sub tribe of Israel I mean it's obvious since judah is one of the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel) which makes his descendants a sub-tribe and not an entirely different people
Magnificent 🙌 My suggestion is the duration of the details. You put a long period of history in 5 minutes. I wish you were slow a bit to describe more details
I'm currently reading this in Proverbs. To truely understand Yah and Yeshua, we must understand everything from the past to create the groundwork of our faith. All I can say, is WOW I'm glad I'm reading the Old Testament as I only knew the New Testament and very little Old Testament.🙏
I love your videos, they are highly entertaining. Squeezing everything into short videos kinda make it go a little too fast for me to keep up with all the information. Maybe making videos a little longer will help slow people like me keep up with all the info. I dunno. Still love your vids! Hope you make another one soon 🙂
I do think you should expand on this one, there is sooooooo much that was missed like the coup'de'tats that occurred during Davids reign or the slaughter of family members during other kings reigns or even the acts of King Josiah who abolished Polythiesm during his reign, believe me the history of ancient Israel is so much more than what a 5 minute video could cover but you did well here
As an Israeli I did NOT expect it to be that good. It's a little off from what I learned in school and you're missing some stuff but you taught me new things as well! :) Thanks for being one of the few that accepts our texts as historical evidence and doesn't play by double standards ❤️ Btw, we know the fate of two of the ten tribes! The Ethiopian Jews are from the tribe of Ephraim and the Indian Jews (from India) are from the tribe of Menashe with some Judeans that fled there with Bar Kokhva
No "Jews" are from the 10 tribes. The term Jew delineates being a descendent of the nation of Judea. So it's an inaccurate label for anyone from the other 10 tribes. Israelite or the name of their tribe would be the accurate label. Weird that you're Israeli, presumably Jewish, and don't know this. It is interesting to hear what they teach in Israeli schools though. While it's possible some of the 10 tribes could have ended up in Israel, I don't think it's possible that they ended up in Ethiopia. What's more likely is Ethiopian Jews are either from Judea or are converts like khazars, Nero, or the group in southern Arabia whose name I've forgotten. That being said there are a number of people who claim the ark of the covenant is in Ethiopia. Of course the evidence of this is nearly non-existent nor would it really prove Israelite lineage.
@@alexhurt7919 No, you’re the one that’s confused here. After the kingdom of Israel fell and the kingdom of Judea took over most of the region, tribal identity began to diminish as society advances and people migrate. By that point, all “בני ישראל” (children of Israel), began to be known as Jews (Yehudim in Hebrew) regardless of tribal identity because the entire region by that point was known as Judea (Yehuda in Hebrew). You’re confusing theology and actual history.
@@Channel-ml4qv wrong. Judea didn't take over most of the region. They never expanded into Israel and were conquered by Babylonians. I don"t know why you're making stuff up that isn't true. When the Assyrians invaded Israel they scattered the population. If the descendents of those Israelites exist they don't even know they're Israelites. They also wouldn't call themselves Jews because they're not Jews. Yahudi means Judean, but the northern tribes never considered themselves Judean. What this means is Ethiopian Jews and Indian Jews can't be from any of the northern tribes because they wouldn't call themselves Jews. They'd call themselves Israelites or after the name of their specific tribe. Now that doesn't mean those tribes didn't end up in India or Ethiopia, it just means they wouldn't be calling themselves Jews.
@@alexhurt7919 Oh really? Then explain Judea’s borders during the Hasmonean dynasty and Herodian era, and why Rome referred to the the whole region as Judea and all its inhabitants as Jews. Secondly, “Yahudi” isn’t even a Hebrew word, Yahud means Jew in Arabic and YEhudi means Jew in Hebrew, key letter being the “e” after the “y”. It’s incredible how you’re trying to school us on our own history.
well this is fascinating. a crucial piece of the ancient era puzzle. egypt/greek/persians/ rome we all know. but this amazing video fills in so much. and so succinct. bravo sir. insta sub
Palastinians where called cannnites but that palastine name came up when greec gave us that. We cananites where the first who stept in palastine! And nop! We are not arabs! We have some orgins from them but then got mixed with other nations while traveling too canans land- palastine. And therfore the most of us dosent look like khaliji people! We are light and a lot of us have blod hair and coulord eyes. We are cananites! From the levent! The name philistines came when a smal goup of creat- greec came and lived with us and melted among us - nothing else! Its simple! And we got the name philistines because of them! So nop! We are still nativ and was the first people who stept on that land. AND for those who talk about that the quran dosent mantion palastine in but mantion israel - its because it mansions the israeli people- they are a ethnic group not a countrie! While palastine was mansions as a countrie when it says about the second holy place for muslims. The first is mecca the second is al aqsa! That means coran mantioned the palastinian land and its relation to islam not israeli people who was baneched from entering it after flying from egypt!! The religion in palastine or canaan was cananite relegion and language wich with time disapered because the same people converted to islam and begun to speak arabic! And there is a lot of evidence qnd arkeology + palastinian people dna test that confirm al of this!! Israelis used to call us amalek- wich means giants! They told moses they didnt want to enter because the amalek was in there so god got angey at them and baneched them from entering and insted git lost in seena desert 40 years!! Todays zionists claim they are the real israelis that disapeard from that time!! Its simple
Hey, reading back over the comments from a few years ago is pretty interesting .... I thought you did a pretty good job of melding the various historical sources for this narrative. The Israelites, IIRC, originally went to Egypt to escape one of those periods of hardship you describe in the Canaanite video, and were later treated less favorably by what I assume to be a change in dynastic leadership and therefore left for "greener pastures". I found it telling that so many of the commenters are so pro- or anti- Christianity as a religion that they can't allow for there to be some validity to the broad historical content of the Bible. It's easy to quote historical sources like the Egyptians and Hittites based on what we have found of their writings, but I hope people keep in mind that each group will report historical events from their perspective and in the best possible light regarding their actions. None of the accounts that we have are unbiased, which is why finding multiple sources discussing the same event[s] is so invaluable for historians - and why historically conquerors have been so assiduous in destroying the records of the previous rulers.
The Bible is not a historical text. The stories prior to Josiah and the Babylonian Exile are not supported by archeological records and accepted evidence-based narratives. Christian theology does not have a problem with this.
@@simonromijn3655 I am not sure what your point is. I fully understand that the Bible is a religious text. I also fully understand that religious texts, especially in this part of the world, were designed to interpret historical events and explain human leaders' actions in the most positive light. As such, I see the Bible in the same light as the religious texts from Egypt and Mesopotamia, albeit from an oral tradition. Basically I am saying that I would no more accept or dismiss everything in it than I would accept or dismiss everything said by the major political powers of the day.
@@k.c1126 Thank you for your comment. The video purports to use Bible as a source for the history of the Hebrew people. I noted that many people who comment accept the Bible as a 'sort of historical' text.
This video was required viewing for my college course. I have read the entire Bible cover to cover, so I knew most of this, and I must say, as a man who has dedicated his life to these study and knowing these people and _why_ they existed- my own faith depends on their sacrificial system to be validated at all -I commend you for a fantastic summary. For those who don't seek to read the entire Bible cover to cover, this is an accurate and very well-written summary of the history of the Jewry. I commend your ability to explain it so easily. In particular, I admire that you accepted the overwhelmingly scholarly consensus that the records of the Word of God are valid primary sources (albeit, we cannot prove God's Hand, miracles, or the WHY) and I appreciate you going further to talk about Roman times. I was unaware of the actual borders of the post-Herod Tetrarchy, so even I learned something today. Fantastic work.
Hi Epimetheus. I enjoyed this video because it was short and covered a lot. I think it would be cool if you made a video talking more about the age of the judges. Were they elected under a democratic system? Also I think it would be neat if you made a video delving into the reasons for all of the wars that Israel was in. Thanks!
After Herod the Great died, his kingdom has indeed been divided among his sons. Archelaus was tetrarch of Judea, Samaria and Idumea (the southern part of Palestine), Antipas ruled over Galilee and Perea, while Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis (north-east). Archelaus was deposed in 6 AD and Judea (with Samaria and Idumea) became a roman province ruled by a prefect (ex. Pontius Pilate). In 41, Herod Agrippa I was made King of Judea by the Romans and reigned over a united Palestine. After his death in 44, the Kingdom of Judea was made a roman province again, ruled by a procurator.
rtorres81rc Huh. So, following the Zionist occupation's on logic, Lebanese people have more right to that land than Israelis. I wouldn't be surprised if no one bats an eye if they start an invasion to reclaim it (sarcasm, I'm being sarcastic).

Love your map-people-timeline-based approach to covering early history and your methodical but brief way of covering shifts over time. Think the format and purview of your channel is awesome. sometimes wish some of your sentences were a bit clearer/contextualized or less abrupt-- @1:16 for instance, why does David have to flee Israel after becoming popular? It's implied he lost favor with Saul, but even knowing that, we still have to speculate why someone would be very popular but lose favor with the monarch--and it seems like it provides context for the ensuing war. could guess that Saul might feel threatened, but if that were just stated plainly in a few words it would make that transition less confusing imo
It doesn’t need to be explained for those who have actually read the Bible. He did lose favor with Saul because Sauls throne was promised to David and the people loved David. So Saul was jealous and tried to kill David (Sauls son in law) multiple times. To state that plainly would make this a lot longer than 5 minutes. We should listen to this video and then fill in the gaps ourselves with research.
The Book of 1 Samuel also states that David is unwilling to fight Saul because Saul has God's anointing, and so didn't want to harm him. Saul still wanted to harm David, so David fled until Saul was killed I'm battle against the Philistines.
Hi Epimetheus. Great video. I enjoyed it, and learned some new parts of the histories. Some parts that probably did deserve to be mentioned was the history of the Judeans under Hellenistic monarchies, where the Jews became integrated into the Hellenistic elite and also the history of the Hasmoneans to a greater degree, including the conquest and forced conversions of the neighbouring peoples, such as the Idumeans. Peace out.
Well done. A followup detail on a particular personality, specifically Judah, would be appreciated. Next to Joseph, he is likely the most significant, yet most unappreciated character of Genesis.
Ephraim See also Book of Mormon; Israel; Joseph, Son of Jacob; Manasseh In the Old Testament, the second son of Joseph and Asenath (Gen. 41:50-52; 46:20). Contrary to the traditional manner, Ephraim received the birthright blessing instead of Manasseh, who was the elder son (Gen. 48:17-20). Ephraim became the father of the tribe of Ephraim. The tribe of Ephraim Ephraim was given the birthright in Israel (1 Chr. 5:1-2; Jer. 31:9). In the last days their privilege and responsibility is to bear the priesthood, take the message of the restored gospel to the world, and raise an ensign to gather scattered Israel (Isa. 11:12-13; 2 Ne. 21:12-13). The children of Ephraim will crown with glory those from the north countries who return in the last days (D&C 133:26-34). The stick of Ephraim or Joseph A record of one group from the tribe of Ephraim that was led from Jerusalem to America about 600 B.C. This group’s record is called the stick of Ephraim or Joseph, or the Book of Mormon. It and the stick of Judah (the Bible) form a unified testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Resurrection, and His divine work among these two segments of the house of Israel. A branch of Ephraim will be broken off and will write another testament of Christ, JST, Gen. 50:24-26, 30-31. The stick of Judah and the stick of Joseph will become one, Ezek. 37:15-19. The writings of Judah and of Joseph shall grow together, 2 Ne. 3:12. The Lord speaks to many nations, 2 Ne. 29. The keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim were committed to Moroni, D&C 27:5.
@@GregFessia the book of Mormon is too goofy for me to take seriously. Also the convention of the eldest son receiving the blessing of his father is broken many times in the bible.

@@RobbieSalome Are “Mormons” Christian? Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints unequivocally affirm themselves to be Christians. They worship God the Eternal Father in the name of Jesus Christ. When asked what the Latter-day Saints believe, Joseph Smith put Christ at the center: “The fundamental principles of our religion is the testimony of the apostles and prophets concerning Jesus Christ, ‘that he died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended up into heaven;’ and all other things are only appendages to these, which pertain to our religion.” The modern-day Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reaffirmed that testimony when they proclaimed, “Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. … His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come.” In recent decades, however, some have claimed that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a Christian church. The most oft-used reasons are the following:
Latter-day Saints do not accept the creeds, confessions, and formulations of post-New Testament Christianity.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not descend through the historical line of traditional Christianity. That is, Latter-day Saints are not Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant.
Latter-day Saints do not believe scripture consists of the Holy Bible alone but have an expanded canon of scripture that includes the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.
Each of these is examined below.
Latter-day Saints Do Not Accept the Creeds of Post-New Testament Christianity Scholars have long acknowledged that the view of God held by the earliest Christians changed dramatically over the course of centuries. Early Christian views of God were more personal, more anthropomorphic, and less abstract than those that emerged later from the creeds written over the next several hundred years. The key ideological shift that began in the second century A.D., after the loss of apostolic authority, resulted from a conceptual merger of Christian doctrine with Greek philosophy. Latter-day Saints believe the melding of early Christian theology with Greek philosophy was a grave error. Chief among the doctrines lost in this process was the nature of the Godhead. The true nature of God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost was restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. As a consequence, Latter-day Saints hold that God the Father is an embodied being, a belief consistent with the attributes ascribed to God by many early Christians. This Latter-day Saint belief differs from the post-New Testament creeds. Whatever the doctrinal differences that exist between the Latter-day Saints and members of other Christian religions, the roles Latter-day Saints ascribe to members of the Godhead largely correspond with the views of others in the Christian world. Latter-day Saints believe that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and all-loving, and they pray to Him in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. In short, Latter-day Saints do not accept the post-New Testament creeds yet rely deeply on each member of the Godhead in their daily religious devotion and worship, as did the early Christians.
Latter-day Saints Believe in a Restored Christianity Another premise used in arguing that Latter-day Saints are not Christians is that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not descend from the traditional line of today’s Christian churches: Latter-day Saints are not Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant. Latter-day Saints believe that by the ministering of angels to Joseph Smith priesthood authority to act in God’s name was returned or brought back to earth. This is the “restored,” not a “reformed,” church of Jesus Christ. The Latter-day Saint belief in a restored Christianity helps explain why so many Latter-day Saints, from the 1830s to the present, have converted from other Christian denominations. These converts did not, and do not, perceive themselves as leaving the Christian fold; they are simply grateful to learn about and become part of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, which they believe offers the fulness of the Lord’s gospel, a more complete and rich Christian church-spiritually, organizationally, and doctrinally. Members of creedal churches often mistakenly assume that all Christians have always agreed and must agree on a historically static, monolithic collection of beliefs. As many scholars have acknowledged, however, Christians have vigorously disagreed about virtually every issue of theology and practice through the centuries, leading to the creation of a multitude of Christian denominations. Although the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differs from that of the many creedal Christian churches, it is consistent with early Christianity. One who sincerely loves, worships, and follows Christ should be free to claim his or her understanding of the doctrine according to the dictates of his or her conscience without being branded as non-Christian.
Latter-day Saints Believe in an Open Canon A third justification argued to label Latter-day Saints as non-Christian has to do with their belief in an open scriptural canon. For those making this argument, to be a Christian means to assent to the principle of sola scriptura, or the self-sufficiency of the Bible. But to claim that the Bible is the sole and final word of God-more specifically, the final written word of God-is to claim more for the Bible than it claims for itself. Nowhere does the Bible proclaim that all revelations from God would be gathered into a single volume to be forever closed and that no further scriptural revelation could be received. Moreover, not all Christian churches are certain that Christianity must be defined by commitment to a closed canon. In truth, the argument for exclusion by closed canon appears to be used selectively to exclude the Latter-day Saints from being called Christian. No branch of Christianity limits itself entirely to the biblical text in making doctrinal decisions and in applying biblical principles. Roman Catholics, for example, turn to church tradition and the magisterium (meaning teachers, including popes and councils) for answers. Protestants, particularly evangelicals, turn to linguists and scripture scholars for their answers, as well as to post-New Testament church councils and creeds. For many Christians, these councils and creeds are every bit as canonical as the Bible itself. To establish doctrine and to understand the biblical text, Latter-day Saints turn to living prophets and to additional books of scripture-the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Together with the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon supports an unequivocal testimony of Jesus Christ. One passage says that the Book of Mormon “shall establish the truth” of the Bible “and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.” In its more than six thousand verses, the Book of Mormon refers to Jesus Christ almost four thousand times and by over one hundred different names: “Jehovah,” “Immanuel,” “Holy Messiah,” “Lamb of God,” “Redeemer of Israel,” and so on. The Book of Mormon is indeed “Another Testament of Jesus Christ,” as its title page proclaims.
Conclusion Converts across the world continue to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in part because of its doctrinal and spiritual distinctiveness. That distinctiveness flows from the knowledge restored to this earth, together with the power of the Holy Ghost present in the Church because of restored priesthood authority, keys, ordinances, and the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fruits of the restored gospel are evident in the lives of its faithful members. While members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have no desire to compromise the distinctiveness of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, they wish to work together with other Christians-and people of all faiths-to recognize and remedy many of the moral and family issues faced by society. The Christian conversation is richer for what the Latter-day Saints bring to the table. There is no good reason for Christian faiths to ostracize each other when there has never been more urgent need for unity in proclaiming the divinity and teachings of Jesus Christ.
That was pleasantly confusing, sort of! I enjoy reading and hearing the history of the ancients! I get a little better grasp on the history and significance but I pray there's no test in the end!

You said the fate of the 10 tribes is unknown however, Deuteronomy tell us what would happened to them if they remained on a rebellious path. They were enslaved by nations that exalted themselves with the eagle, scattered across the world and destroyed psychologically so they’d forget their bloodlines, culture and even their names. Issachar, being enslaved but spaniards and Judah being enslaved by early europeans. We tend to ignore prophecy that came to pass in the Hebrew Bible and discard it as non-factual or non-canon.
Which is why modern Israelites trying to make claims on lands Palestinians live on is null and void. God warned the Israelites loooooong in advance what would happen if they rebelled and they continued to do so for centuries. They cannot claim a divine mandate which they lost long ago.

OK...Early on I say "according to Genesis" which most people will recognize this as Biblical, When referencing the migration out of Egypt and the conquest of Cannan. The basic facts stated in this video from Assyrian, Seleucid and Roman periods are commonly accepted and have non-biblical accounts to back them up. The earlier Periods use the book of Judges, Kings and Chronicles as primary sources...So, if you have a problem with that...well I feel sorry you are offended so easily...I think based on the evidence this is the most likely course of events to have taken place....Interesting Mesopotamian kings lists with way less detail (also including mythical aspects) are accepted without question.
In my Roman video, I reference the early Roman mythical kings who were probably based on real figures and in the China video I reference the state of Xia because again these basic facts are usually loosely based on real events (ie Longshan culture)
I think logically looking at the Old Testament account the more macro the facts stated the larger the likelihood of that event having taken place, that is why I did not include more of the micro-narratives during this period as those are less likely to be varifible at any point by an outside source
Whether you belive this narrative you can either enjoy it and study it more...or you can cry about it.
I made this video based on many viewer requests, I do love reading all your thoughts suggestions and have incorporated many into my videos
The age of Judges does not have written sources outside of the Biblical account...But there is plenty of evidence for kings such as Ahab 871-852 BC and the divided kingdom period written from Assyrian accounts etc...but it would make sense a state of Israel and Judah did not just appear in the 9th century BC...At this point, there is not a continuous record going back to the 14th-15th centuries BC but I think given the bronze age collapse, it makes perfect logical sense that the power vacuum would be filled...just as the Phoenician city-states filled the power vacuum in the north Levant. I think the narrative from Chronicles, kings, Judges makes sense until proven otherwise...(ie written accounts from that time and place)...So far Assyrian accounts etc jive with that narrative.

You did good bro...
i prefer you edit it from cananite
How the jews genocide the cananites
I've never had an overall view of this part (Judges / Kings)
Your discussion was very comprehensive, yet entirely clear
And succinct, as well!
Extremely well done!
Thank you, Epimetheus
I don't understand why people get so mad when they realize that the Bible accurately accounts for history.
Yes you do.
It's because we all run on an operating system and their operating system is called the spirit of Antichrist (not joking, it's actually true) so anything of truth they absolutely hate cause Satan is of a lie. My advice to all is research with open eyes, not through the eyes of others and pray in secret. Worked for me anyway because as the scriptures say... All that hate God, love death.
Peace 👍
@Eddie Chavis and the Zohar/ Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism/ witchcraft) also known as the new age movement, also being the foundations of Catholicism.
@Rich Mc not true
YAHUSHA is Torah Catholism isn’t the true Christianity read in the bible. Catholism is based on Roman paganism, it’s been mixed in with the ideas of Christianity. But it’s not the truth. The minority’s of true Christians follow exactly what happened in the account of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues and were baptised by full Emersion, not with sprinkling of water on babies heads. I myself am filled with the Holy Spirit and I disagree with all the Christian churches out there that say they follow God when truth is they’re all backslidden and based on paganism even the cult Christian groups. The Jews follow the Torah and reenact what is it in, so the Christians are supposed to follow every step of the whole old and New Testament including receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in tongues just as the 12 Apostles did and the 120 in the upper room on the day of Pentecost this included Mary. Modern day Christianity has basically done away with this through the belief that it stopped happening after the apostles died, but they were so wrong.

"the migration out of Egypt" is not in the book of Genesis. It is in Exodus.

While I agree, many people refer to the Torah or the first few books of the Bible as Genesis because those texts were usually together (as all those writings were from Moses)
@@joshuapinkham They referred to the first five books as the Pentateuch, with the first book being called Genesis (the beginning). It wouldn't make sense to call 5 different books with differing genres the same name.

Also as punishment for the last rebellion against the Romans, Hadrian renamed the province of Judea to Palestine. He did this to insult the Jews by renaming their land to what their arch rivals, the Philistines, called it. He also expelled the Jews (and Christians among them) from the newly formed Palestine and this began the Jewish diaspora in Europe, Asia Minor and Northern Africa.
Ulpian Heritor so the free Palestine thing is a fake?
B L yes because people don’t know the whole story
Lol as If 4 million people living under occupation doesn't matter cause the name of the land they live on was changed 2000 years ago, like names of nations are the least relevant factor in the existence of said nations, it's the people who inhabit these lands make the difference, not a name, Saudi Arabia was a name that was formed less than one hundred years ago, named after the royal family, does that mean "Saudi Arabia" is fake? No you dumbass, names don't make nations, nations make names for themselves
@Jason M
I'll explain the stupidity of your argument, although I know it's pointless because you already made your mind and you're not gonna change it, arabs are not an ethnicity but rather a linguistic group, a common Arabic saying is (العربي من تحدث العربية) meaning an arab is one who speaks Arabic, Arabia is the origin of adnani and qahdani arabs who are the original speakers of Arabic, but arabs living in the Levant, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, etc... aren't arabs by ethnicity, but arabs by language, so the Palestinians aren't from Arabia, but from Palestine, they've been arabized after Islamic conquest, and they speak Arabic, and the south of Palestine(that territory is now undisputed Israeli territory) some arab tribes immigrated there, that's why some Palestinians dress traditional arab clothing.
Again, I know that won't make a difference, because you aren't saying that to get an answer but rather to sound smart and witty, but you're not, so stop trying
@Jason M
Ibn Khaldoun in his book (the history of ibn Kahldoun) classified arabs into two classifications, the surviving, and the Perishing, and he acknowledged that they both come from different origins, the ones who went extent were called perishing arabs and are from Babylon, and the surviving are from Yemen and hijaz, modern arab historians classify the surviving into three classifications, also acknowledging that every class is from different origin, which are, 1-العرب العاربة (roughly translated to the original/pure arabs who are from Yemen also called Qahdani arabs)
2-العرب المتعربة(also roughly translated to adopting arabs, they are from hijaz and they adopted Arabic from the perishing arabs who lived north of Arabia)
3-العرب المستعربة( the arabized arabs, they are from the Levant, Egypt and north Africa, they have been arabized after Islamic conquest)
The arab league defines an arab as:" someone who speaks Arabic, has an arab nationality/citizenship, has the hopes and ambitions of other arabs"
In conclusion: Arabs are no ethnicity, Egyptians were never called arabs before Islamic conquest, could they have transformed or changed their ethnicity to arabs? No they just learned Arabic and adopted Arabic traditions so they became arab
Just as a side note, when hearing about history one of the most pervasive issues that most people (including me) have is actually REALIZING the sometimes very long periods of time involved. For instance, it is really easy sometimes to forget that when someone gives a start and end date, that could span a 500 year period. Just step back and consider what 100 years means and how much can change in that span of time, let alone 5 times that. History is really amazing and interesting, but my aforementioned point is ALWAYS a good habit to consider. Wrapping your head around an idea, but then taking it that one simple step adds SO much context, and your understanding can grow exponentially because of it. Thanks for the summary!
I mostly agree, but it's also important to mention that the world changes today at a much faster rate compared to ancient times
@@terner1234... we are more aware of it as well which means we subconsciously feel as though 100 yrs is a long time. Personally I believe humans have been around for hundreds if thousands of years. Just going by our propensity to kill ourselves and erase our histories, not to mention the unquestionable fact that tyranny ALWAYS destroys knowledge and erases it to keep it for themselves, I can almost guarantee that there have been hundreds if not thousands of generations before us. We probably simply killed off the other cousins of ours like the Neanderthals simply because they were competing with sapiens...
@Gary Allen When I was as child I played on the mounds in cahokia park and always felt strange as if I knew this was sacred ground. I'm glad they have closed it off and is a historical site now. My great grandmother is a Mississippi Chatah(english name Choctaw) and I was fascinated by the fact they had people on a reservation in walking distance from my grandparents home. People from that era say we were here before the ships and I believe them over the lying writers of our history. There's a direct correlation with Haran, Morocco. Bolivia and north America

No one is disputing the presence of the Jewish people in the Near East since antiquity. But as this video illustrates, this land was inhabited and conquered by many groups of people over thousands of years. What we object to is people pointing to the historical existence of a few Jewish kingdoms that lasted a few hundred years as a justification for modern-day settler colonialism and the apartheid governance, ethnic cleansing, and industrial slaughter of the indigenous people of Palestine that is required to maintain it.
@lonicerasempervirens
"Palestinians" are not indigenous and the Jews existed in the land for many centuries. They were only fully dispossessed in 76 AD.

People are getting offended easily by Biblical facts
most holy readings (books) are based on hearsay and stories, but a large percentage of bible stories have been authenticated by archeology.
There is no denying for instance Roman coins found in Jerusalem prove that the Romans occupied the city; stones under the Al Aksa mosque have been found with high levels of ash; proving the story that the city was burned down by the Romans. Crusader Temples and fortresses are built throughout Israel showing that Christians claimed the Holy land. You get the idea; Ottoman artifacts, Christian, Jewish artifacts and archeology prove the glorious, devastating, destruction and history of ancient Israel.
And then...……….. there is the rebirth of Israel and modern history.
@@avi3860 "authenticated by archaeology" not at all. there were never Jewish slaves in Egypt for example (verified by Egyptian historians and Jewish historians and many more). they were never deposed by the Babylonians (and as a result partially were held as slaves en mass) as well. just because one part of the story is true, that does not give credence to the rest. we know that Rome had occupied isreal not because of roman coinage, not because of coins found under ash layers, but because the Romans talked about it. they made administrative documents. they marched armies. we know it because the Jewish people had a massive revolt (the Maccabees revolt) at around 70ce. neighboring cities and nations noticed these armies and wrote about them. its called cooperating evidence, to which the bible is lacking in several eras (such as no census being taken in the area from 40bce - 100ce, and earlier stories). where as most instances of evidence biblical moguls tend to cling too are straight from the bible itself, while ignoring the mountains of evidence that most of the time bring forth the conclusion that: *archaeology in fact does not authenticate a large percentage of the bible as true*
@@darkelite824 Please, if you will, stick to facts and not mythology; "the slaves in Egypt for example as opposed to Jewish symbols, manuscripts and scrolls written in ancient Hebrew; or archaeological digs which have unearthed Jewish origins and history; modern and biblical.
Archaeology and the Relevance to the Bible:
* Laws of Moses; Psalms of David, prophets of Israel, the teachings of Jesus.
* Customs; the ten Commandments, eating Kosher, marriage and divorce laws; Mikvah (ritual baths used only by Jews).
* History of the Jews; Dead Sea Schools, Menorah, inscriptions, manuscripts and scrolls written in ancient Hebrew discovered all over the Middle East.
* Language - Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and lesser languages Canaanite, Philistine, Babylonian, Person, Assyrian and Latin.
* People of the Bible and events: Sargon (Isaiah 20:1); Sennacherib (Isaiah 37); and thousands of other well recognized figures. too long to post, but open for you to check.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are 2,000 years old and are proven records of the Bible and Jewish history. They are written in ancient Hebrew (not in Arabic and certainly not in Palestinian script).
3,000-year-old Hebrew inscription found with the words “to do” which existed only in the Hebrew language, unearthed at Elah.
Numerous inscriptions have been found in ancient synagogues showing Jewish religious symbols and proving Jewish ancient existence.
Underground tunnels were found under the El Aksa mosque under Jerusalem dating from 70AD. Tons of pottery shards, oil lamps and coins proved to be belonging to Jews hiding under the city in anticipation of the Roman conquest.
One of the most conclusive evidence of Jewish origins are the hundreds upon hundreds of mikvot (ritual baths) found all over Israel from North, South, East and West.
Only Jews used the mikvah for ritual purposes.
There are hundreds of references in the bible which have been proved factual by archaeology for instance; the cities of Solomon - Hazor, Megiddo and Gesher.
(l Kings 9:15).
Today, with photographic drones, modern rock penetrating scanners, lasers and hi frequency sound waves and equipment; archaeology has advanced to such a sophisticated degree prove ancient buildings, documents and the bible are important references and jumping off points for archaeology.
Jewish origins and history surface every other week; and it will be the blind and the "don’t really want to know, cos I am a coward" cult, who are being left behind.
@@darkelite824 it's called corroborating evidence...not

+Luis Luis Then how do you explain the golden bells from the high priest from the kings era, being found in Jerusalem by arqueologists? That alone disproves your theory.
Luis Luis, to answer your question, look no further than several archaeological finds for proof (if you don't want to accept the Torah as your answer). First, The 'Silver Scroll': dated to around 700 BCE, is a silver scroll that has the priestly blessing scrawled on it. the dating proves several things. A) that The Jews were in the Land of Israel/Canaan prior to 586 BCE (the date of when Babylonians razed Solomon's Temple to the ground, and took the Jewish elites into captivity, effectively ending the 'first' state of Judea) and B) That Paleo-Hebrew goes back to at LEAST 700 BCE, if not well before then. Second, Hezekiah's Tunnel Tablet inscription; prior to Judea being taken over by the Babylonians, the Assyrian king attempted to conquer Judea. Having knowledge of the Assyrian King's intentions, King Hezekiah, expanded the walls around Jerusalem and fortefied the water access to the Gihon Spings (the only water source in Jerusalem). In order to do this, he had to have a HUGE tunnel built from two different sides so that they would connect the spring (outside the city walls) to the inside of the old city. When this feat was accomplished, he had an inscription scrawled inside the tunnel to forever document the occassion. That inscription was found by the british archaeologist Sir Charles Warren. Lastly, there is an old Assyrian Tablet describing/pictograph where King Jehu of Israel (approx. 800 BCE) paying homage and 'submitting' to the King of Assyria SHELMANASAR, this is just prior to Assyrian conquest of the northern kingdom of Israel. There is AMPLE proof that this area is the native home of the Israelites/Jews and there is written, archaeologic and historic proof of this inside the land as well as the surrounding areas. All one has to do is search with an open mind and forget ones prejudice.
Yeah, like the arabs NEVER attempted to have a genocidal conquest against the Jews. Sure. Israel/Mossad NEVER wage wars of expansion, only defensively. The arabs were offered more than 75% of Historic Palestine, created the Kingdom of Jordan and that STILL was not enough. They wanted historic Judea, Samaria and Gaza, they were offered that AND East Jerusalem, and that STILL was not enough! Arafat walked away time and again! The Israeli's left Gaza, and what is it today? The shit hole filled with Terrorists who suppress their own people and steal BILLIONS of AID DOLLARS. What do they do with all that money? Do they build hospitals, energy, create jobs? No. They use it on weapons, to build tunnels and to terrorize Israel. Israel, on the other hand, incorporates it's Arabs into its own. They serve in the Army, Vote, have their own political parties, go to school and are the MOST Educated (highest percentage of doctors in all of the middle east). So take your anti-semitic rhetoric and SHOVE IT UP YOUR OWN ASS!

Made with HARPA AI
Before the establishment of Israel the Canaanites already lived there. The Israelis had to get rid of them first. So they dehumanised them (Sounds familiar) and said they worshipped false Idols such as "El", which is strange as "Israel" is derived from worship for the God El "Isra El". This, plus the lack of evidence of an exodus out of Egypt and zero Egyptian influence on their pottery and homes etc leads archeologists to think the Israelis were just Canaanites. And there is quite a lot of evidence to support this, as the first Israeli settlements resemble Canaanite structures and their pottery also resembled that of the Canaanites..
Unfortunately, not real history - just the Bible account. It's been significantly corrected through archeology

With his arrival in Cebu on March 17, 1521, his first attempt was to colonize the islands and to Christianise its inhabitants. The story goes that Magellan met with Rajah Humabon, ruler of the island of Cebu, who had an ill grandson. Magellan (or one of his men) was able to cure or help the young boy, and in gratitude Humabon allowed himself, his chief consort Humamay, and 800 of his subjects to be baptised en masse. In order to achieve this, Spain had three principal objectives in its policy towards the Philippines: the first was to secure Spanish control and acquisition of a share in the spice trade; use the islands in developing contact with Japan and China in order to further Christian missionaries’ efforts there; and lastly to spread their religion.

I know is a lot of history to cover in just one video, but this video is so light that leave people with more questions that answers. I would prefer a longer video or a series of videos. And explain things like who are the seleucids
I think as my channel expands I will see which condensed histories have the most interest, and do more in-depth videos on those topics. I.E My India and Spain videos showed people had interest so I did further videos on those regions.
If this video does well I may do a video concerning just the period of Judges, Divided kingdom period or just on the Hasmonean dynasty. My China video did well so I got a more focused video on a part of that history coming up.
I am just one guy making these videos with close to zero funding and limited expendable time so I don't want to spend 20+ hours making a video and no one watch it
Seleucids are super interesting BTW they were an empire made by one of Alexander's Macedonian generals and were a rival of the early Roman empire. That would be a great video topic too :)

Judah Benjamin and Levi makes up the tribe of Judah and Israel are the remaining tribes. The tribe of Israel is still over around abound Africa and Judah was scattered throughout the four corners of the earth as the bible says. All the tribes are BLACK! Judah is the so called black people that everyone hates so much. Read Deuteronomy 28:68. White folks are always telling blacks to go back to Africa. Deuteronomy 28:68 tells how we got here.
Israel is the entire group of all 12 tribes. All the descendents from Jacob, who had 12 sons and his name was changed to Israel. Judah is one of the 12 tribes and the one where christ was set to come from.
Solomon sins against the Lord.. and God appoint another king to reign in Israel. but he left Judah to the family of David
@@savageaf1943wtf are you talking about.
If somebody is bothered by Bible being mentioned in a video concerning the Jewish people - wake up! What did you expect - where are they first mentioned? Such a small nations, who would write much about them, the great nations during their days of power. What did Rome write about? What did Egypt write about? Mostly about themselves. So did the Jewish - but at least they wote something about their neighburs too, besides when Israel conquerd them. Which didn't happen much.
And they didn't write only about themselves - they wrote also about God. God of all the nations. Ususally when texts are ethnically very self-centered, they stay local, they don't wake up international interest. But Christianity has spread all over this planet. Why have people from so many so different cultures thought God speaks for us from that book? And even though it says we can't do nothing to save ourselves from our own evil, so many find that to be the tuth. While other religions advice 'you should do this and this to save yourself, to enlighten, to purify yourself, to smarten up, to lose your lust for life, to lose weight, to gain muscle, to get money, to disconnect from life, to connect to life' ...
What other sources we have of the Jews, of Israel? Some. Yeah, use them as well, all we can access - and with the same critique you're ready to put on the Bible. People use Veda literature when examining Indian history. Or Chinese religious texts when studying Chinese history. Chronicles of Nestor when studying Russian history. They can't be bypassed, but of course they can't be the only sources.
In the Midde East the Gilgamesh or the Egyptian Book of Death, Greek mythology (which is similar, but not 1 to 1 the same as Edda) or Roman accounts are not necessarily any more truthful than Bible - can be even more wrong in some cases. At any rate they have references to their divinities and beliefs, worldview. Any critical eye when reading those views?
Greek stories sound more like the fables of the folklore, middle ages and later - very fairytale like with their monsters (bogies of our fearful minds), and 'knights' of bronze armor. That's more believable than Bible? The squabbly soap opera of 'gods'? It's like watching the Bold and Beautiful, King Arthur, or any medieval, or modern court schemes. Very human, seldom humane.
How often the very so to say atheistic, scientifique, scholars build schools with Greco-Roman columns, and put the statues of the Greek and Roman gods in their hallways. Not once the answer is: 'Because they represent the human architypes, reminds us of the wisdom in their stories, we're not worshipping them, or course!' Seems no problem to them that gods and demigods jump around in their academically approvable stories. They don't believe they believe the old Greek and Roman mythologies.
- Uh-huh... said the Big Black Mama, and gave you the knowing nod, the the side glance and turned around heavily, with audible breathing and waving her laced fan in the heat. It's Sunday, she's in her prettiest dress, relaxed and humming happy after the church. She's not a fan of idle talk, to put it nicely. She rather goes to see the bull eat some grass in he field. Life is kicking now.
The prophets writing the Bible often say: 'This and this year of King This-and-that, the word God came to me'. The relationship they had with God made it very likely a person like that would not easily lie - not likely. They knew from their history that it may result in death. So they didn't play power games etc. Or you can claim that of course, but don't be too hasty to judge. How you can know they were not sincere when writing, you know better what happened then?
What comes to Bible, be critical if you like, it's a pretty good approach. But even critique has it's limits: We have to eat, drink, use toilet etc. without always questioning our needs or even choices available. - God actually wants us to be honest and ask questions. He doesn't want slavish 'yes-boys'.
And the contact can be established, hence the prayer. It's basically nothing more than speaking from your heart to God. Oh, and listening. The ratio is likely 1:2 - One mouth, or heart - 2 ears. He's capable of answering. He made a book series because of that, using scribes. But a straight fast dial connection can be established. Prayer.
Once you have connection with God, it's pretty useless to argue if there is God or not. Like if you have contacts with your mother and father, you know they exist. But if you have never even seen them, it is tougher of course. And the misusing parents - oh b... Yeah. Then it's hard to beliee God is good.But God creates life. Even if your parents did everything else wrong, you got your body from them, and your mind is now here reading these things, thinking.
Knowing God is knowing a person (be it rather impressive one - but a person), the oldest father of our family called mankind. It's not about what's this atom composed of. We can study those too. But he's more interested in - How are you, you feeling fine? Or: Why the anger, fear, despise in your eyes, the glee in your eyes? Why the doubt? Or if you don't doubt, it's: How are you, my dear child?
@Mike Gunnerst Thanks, I've been relaxed even when writing that. It was more in the mood of shaking my head why some people would think it odd if the Jews and Bible are mentioned together.
What comes to shutting up, stones are shouting the same as the Bible, and what we people should we speaking about, and are oddly silent about. Bible is most relevant to mankind, the target audience.
Concise recap 👍
Crazy how every story has so much information though. I wish people understood Jewish history.
I like the ethnic realism in these animations, finally
Exactly! No Ashkenazi converts shown here. It's about time.
@@EvaAnika Ashkenazi are not converts. The only khazars that converted were The royal ashina clan. Aka the khagan and his family
@@arawn1061 Khazar Jews is a hoax and myth created by a Spanish sephardic rabbi who plagiarized a correspondence letter to the king of Khazaria and plagiarized the return letter from the king, because the Roman church said that Jews had to suffer as nationless people for killing Jesus. So to prove to Spanish Catholic priest that Jews did have a nation he created a hoax. Here's paintings of what exiled Jews living in Syria looked liked in year 244ce about a hundred years after the last Jewish revolt against Rome > www.thebyzantinelegacy.com/dura-synagogue ..They look like what many curly haired Ashkenazi Jews look like. People who live on the coast of Mediterranean sea from Italy to the Levant come in light to dark skin tones, and Jews like Lebanese, Syrian Alawites, Turks, Greeks and Italians are people who have light to dark skin tones. When the Arab Muslims invaded the Levant in the 7th century they brought more dark skin into region. Jews have always been mixed skin tones and Ashkenazi are genetically 30-40% match with Greek DNA.
Chavvah Askenazi jews are mix of europeans and jews. Hence many of them look dark white. Not because they are khazars. Seriously hasn't anyone actually gone through the "evidence" that baks up Khazarian theory. Similarities between Jewish genome and armenian is pathetic evidence.
@ Duke Temz But it wasn't ethnically correct at all! Also most all of the people in that area, at that time were BLACK! including Egypt! People are still white washing I see. smh
Love the channel. Do a 20 min complete history on every country. 20 min per country would give a nice in depth bit not too long video.
Your videos are getting better. Just keep on improving. I can see the passion in these works. I'll put in my own request and recommend you do the history of Andean civilizations or the Mound Builders of the Mississippi.
What about the mound builders of California: the Kardashians?
There was also misspelling of Israel in the video.
I am glad you showed the people in the color that they where.
I just want to thank you for your awesome videos. I watched a few of them dealing with Japanese history when I was busy with my PhD ( I had a section on Japanese Samurai armour and I needed to start somewhere on the historical background). I've since graduated and I'm now supervising a Master's student who is focusing on the plight of ancient refugees during the Exile period. This video helped to refresh my mind on the region's history.
King Solomon was not a Solo Man ever.
The original name for Samaria is Shomron.
Palestina is the Roman name for the region.
It was initially Judaea (from Judah) before being changed into Palestina in the 2nd century.
Also in the tribes map, Ruben and Simeon are latinized/english versions of the original names which were Reuven and Shim'on. But overall he got a lot of names right and it's evident that he tried to find the original ones rather than whatever the English translations say.
@@justiniand6a788 Wasn't Samaria the former northern kingdom of Israel. The Samaritans were the people moved into the land when the Israelites were taken into slavery. When they came back thanks to Darius those Assyrian transplants remained in the land.
There are some interesting facts presented in this video. However, it's important for us to remember how it all got started. Jacob (Ya'aqob), later known as Israel (Yisra'el), purchased it as an inheritance for he & his descendants forever. Genesis (Bereshith), as well as the Book of Jasher (Yashar), gives a lot more details on how it all came about. We highly recommend it as a useful source for information & history. Hope this helps.
Plz.. plz with these so called " lost books.. stay in the 66✍🏿
Where is the book of Jasher?
@@coreybrown388
The bible does mention two lost books. One of them Jasher, now believed lost by biblical scholars.
@@davidfigueroa6351 don't matter where the book of jasher is if you don't know the "BOOKS" that sitting in your living room all to well...
@@coreybrown388
What does that even mean?
I was surprisingly old when I learned that the Judeans and the Israelites were different people.
They’re not though, in Antiquity and till today, Judeans (which is another word for Jews and in Hebrew is Yehudim) is just a later name for Israelites (in Hebrew is Yisraelim). All Israelites became known as Judeans after the region was using the name Judea (Yehuda in Hebrew). Even when there were two kingdoms there, the people who lives in the kingdom of Judea were still Israelites, because the term comes from the 12 tribes era before they had established kingdoms.
@@Channel-ml4qv there different people get a grip
Judeans are a sub tribe of Israel I mean it's obvious since judah is one of the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel) which makes his descendants a sub-tribe and not an entirely different people
Learned this in highschool when i watched this video and tbh, it was really good. Keep it up man!
Magnificent 🙌
My suggestion is the duration of the details.
You put a long period of history in 5 minutes. I wish you were slow a bit to describe more details
I'm currently reading this in Proverbs. To truely understand Yah and Yeshua, we must understand everything from the past to create the groundwork of our faith.
All I can say, is WOW I'm glad I'm reading the Old Testament as I only knew the New Testament and very little Old Testament.🙏

I love your videos, they are highly entertaining. Squeezing everything into short videos kinda make it go a little too fast for me to keep up with all the information. Maybe making videos a little longer will help slow people like me keep up with all the info. I dunno. Still love your vids! Hope you make another one soon 🙂
I like this one...I like the drawings/maps and how u used photos!
I do think you should expand on this one, there is sooooooo much that was missed like the coup'de'tats that occurred during Davids reign or the slaughter of family members during other kings reigns or even the acts of King Josiah who abolished Polythiesm during his reign, believe me the history of ancient Israel is so much more than what a 5 minute video could cover but you did well here
The video really is meant to cover the border changes, and conquering of Israel instead of the entire history of Israel.
As an Israeli I did NOT expect it to be that good. It's a little off from what I learned in school and you're missing some stuff but you taught me new things as well! :)
Thanks for being one of the few that accepts our texts as historical evidence and doesn't play by double standards ❤️
Btw, we know the fate of two of the ten tribes! The Ethiopian Jews are from the tribe of Ephraim and the Indian Jews (from India) are from the tribe of Menashe with some Judeans that fled there with Bar Kokhva
No "Jews" are from the 10 tribes. The term Jew delineates being a descendent of the nation of Judea. So it's an inaccurate label for anyone from the other 10 tribes. Israelite or the name of their tribe would be the accurate label.
Weird that you're Israeli, presumably Jewish, and don't know this. It is interesting to hear what they teach in Israeli schools though. While it's possible some of the 10 tribes could have ended up in Israel, I don't think it's possible that they ended up in Ethiopia. What's more likely is Ethiopian Jews are either from Judea or are converts like khazars, Nero, or the group in southern Arabia whose name I've forgotten.
That being said there are a number of people who claim the ark of the covenant is in Ethiopia. Of course the evidence of this is nearly non-existent nor would it really prove Israelite lineage.
@@alexhurt7919 No, you’re the one that’s confused here. After the kingdom of Israel fell and the kingdom of Judea took over most of the region, tribal identity began to diminish as society advances and people migrate. By that point, all “בני ישראל” (children of Israel), began to be known as Jews (Yehudim in Hebrew) regardless of tribal identity because the entire region by that point was known as Judea (Yehuda in Hebrew). You’re confusing theology and actual history.
@@Channel-ml4qv wrong. Judea didn't take over most of the region. They never expanded into Israel and were conquered by Babylonians. I don"t know why you're making stuff up that isn't true.
When the Assyrians invaded Israel they scattered the population. If the descendents of those Israelites exist they don't even know they're Israelites. They also wouldn't call themselves Jews because they're not Jews. Yahudi means Judean, but the northern tribes never considered themselves Judean. What this means is Ethiopian Jews and Indian Jews can't be from any of the northern tribes because they wouldn't call themselves Jews. They'd call themselves Israelites or after the name of their specific tribe.
Now that doesn't mean those tribes didn't end up in India or Ethiopia, it just means they wouldn't be calling themselves Jews.
@@alexhurt7919 Oh really? Then explain Judea’s borders during the Hasmonean dynasty and Herodian era, and why Rome referred to the the whole region as Judea and all its inhabitants as Jews. Secondly, “Yahudi” isn’t even a Hebrew word, Yahud means Jew in Arabic and YEhudi means Jew in Hebrew, key letter being the “e” after the “y”. It’s incredible how you’re trying to school us on our own history.
@wisdemic2699I don't think Romas are jewish at all
well this is fascinating. a crucial piece of the ancient era puzzle. egypt/greek/persians/ rome we all know. but this amazing video fills in so much. and so succinct. bravo sir. insta sub
When you tell Muslims Israel had existed since 11th century BC. 😅
It's like they just can't compute it 😅
Because palastinians existed there waaaay before theme🤭
Palastinians where called cannnites but that palastine name came up when greec gave us that. We cananites where the first who stept in palastine! And nop! We are not arabs! We have some orgins from them but then got mixed with other nations while traveling too canans land- palastine. And therfore the most of us dosent look like khaliji people! We are light and a lot of us have blod hair and coulord eyes. We are cananites! From the levent! The name philistines came when a smal goup of creat- greec came and lived with us and melted among us - nothing else! Its simple! And we got the name philistines because of them! So nop! We are still nativ and was the first people who stept on that land. AND for those who talk about that the quran dosent mantion palastine in but mantion israel - its because it mansions the israeli people- they are a ethnic group not a countrie! While palastine was mansions as a countrie when it says about the second holy place for muslims. The first is mecca the second is al aqsa! That means coran mantioned the palastinian land and its relation to islam not israeli people who was baneched from entering it after flying from egypt!! The religion in palastine or canaan was cananite relegion and language wich with time disapered because the same people converted to islam and begun to speak arabic! And there is a lot of evidence qnd arkeology + palastinian people dna test that confirm al of this!!
Israelis used to call us amalek- wich means giants! They told moses they didnt want to enter because the amalek was in there so god got angey at them and baneched them from entering and insted git lost in seena desert 40 years!! Todays zionists claim they are the real israelis that disapeard from that time!! Its simple
As if Muslims didn't knew... the Polish Netanyahu ain't it boot licker😂
It's not the same isreal.
Hey, reading back over the comments from a few years ago is pretty interesting ....
I thought you did a pretty good job of melding the various historical sources for this narrative. The Israelites, IIRC, originally went to Egypt to escape one of those periods of hardship you describe in the Canaanite video, and were later treated less favorably by what I assume to be a change in dynastic leadership and therefore left for "greener pastures".
I found it telling that so many of the commenters are so pro- or anti- Christianity as a religion that they can't allow for there to be some validity to the broad historical content of the Bible. It's easy to quote historical sources like the Egyptians and Hittites based on what we have found of their writings, but I hope people keep in mind that each group will report historical events from their perspective and in the best possible light regarding their actions. None of the accounts that we have are unbiased, which is why finding multiple sources discussing the same event[s] is so invaluable for historians - and why historically conquerors have been so assiduous in destroying the records of the previous rulers.
there was no israelites
@@ctobi707 the Israelites were not bullshitinians.no way. Gap about 2000 years . But in the quran even the niandethrals have been.Muslims
The Bible is not a historical text. The stories prior to Josiah and the Babylonian Exile are not supported by archeological records and accepted evidence-based narratives. Christian theology does not have a problem with this.
@@simonromijn3655 I am not sure what your point is. I fully understand that the Bible is a religious text. I also fully understand that religious texts, especially in this part of the world, were designed to interpret historical events and explain human leaders' actions in the most positive light. As such, I see the Bible in the same light as the religious texts from Egypt and Mesopotamia, albeit from an oral tradition. Basically I am saying that I would no more accept or dismiss everything in it than I would accept or dismiss everything said by the major political powers of the day.
@@k.c1126 Thank you for your comment. The video purports to use Bible as a source for the history of the Hebrew people. I noted that many people who comment accept the Bible as a 'sort of historical' text.
Thank you sir for another lesson. Well done and God bless.
This video was required viewing for my college course. I have read the entire Bible cover to cover, so I knew most of this, and I must say, as a man who has dedicated his life to these study and knowing these people and _why_ they existed- my own faith depends on their sacrificial system to be validated at all -I commend you for a fantastic summary.
For those who don't seek to read the entire Bible cover to cover, this is an accurate and very well-written summary of the history of the Jewry. I commend your ability to explain it so easily.
In particular, I admire that you accepted the overwhelmingly scholarly consensus that the records of the Word of God are valid primary sources (albeit, we cannot prove God's Hand, miracles, or the WHY) and I appreciate you going further to talk about Roman times. I was unaware of the actual borders of the post-Herod Tetrarchy, so even I learned something today.
Fantastic work.
If it was required then you know youre going to a good college. Im worried about top universities and what exactly it is they teach
Hi Epimetheus. I enjoyed this video because it was short and covered a lot. I think it would be cool if you made a video talking more about the age of the judges. Were they elected under a democratic system? Also I think it would be neat if you made a video delving into the reasons for all of the wars that Israel was in. Thanks!
God always backs up his word in the Old testament and the New testament
Wonderful overview! Thank you! I’m trying to get some context as I explore more deeply Samuels, Chronicles and Maccabees.
After Herod the Great died, his kingdom has indeed been divided among his sons. Archelaus was tetrarch of Judea, Samaria and Idumea (the southern part of Palestine), Antipas ruled over Galilee and Perea, while Philip was tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis (north-east). Archelaus was deposed in 6 AD and Judea (with Samaria and Idumea) became a roman province ruled by a prefect (ex. Pontius Pilate). In 41, Herod Agrippa I was made King of Judea by the Romans and reigned over a united Palestine. After his death in 44, the Kingdom of Judea was made a roman province again, ruled by a procurator.
Wait Jesus era Pontius Pilate 😯🍿

Love your map-people-timeline-based approach to covering early history and your methodical but brief way of covering shifts over time. Think the format and purview of your channel is awesome.
sometimes wish some of your sentences were a bit clearer/contextualized or less abrupt-- @1:16 for instance, why does David have to flee Israel after becoming popular? It's implied he lost favor with Saul, but even knowing that, we still have to speculate why someone would be very popular but lose favor with the monarch--and it seems like it provides context for the ensuing war. could guess that Saul might feel threatened, but if that were just stated plainly in a few words it would make that transition less confusing imo
It doesn’t need to be explained for those who have actually read the Bible. He did lose favor with Saul because Sauls throne was promised to David and the people loved David. So Saul was jealous and tried to kill David (Sauls son in law) multiple times. To state that plainly would make this a lot longer than 5 minutes. We should listen to this video and then fill in the gaps ourselves with research.
The Book of 1 Samuel also states that David is unwilling to fight Saul because Saul has God's anointing, and so didn't want to harm him. Saul still wanted to harm David, so David fled until Saul was killed I'm battle against the Philistines.
I think you did a great job
Wow great vid. Loved your narration!
And the art was ethereal...
Hi Epimetheus. Great video. I enjoyed it, and learned some new parts of the histories.
Some parts that probably did deserve to be mentioned was the history of the Judeans under Hellenistic monarchies, where the Jews became integrated into the Hellenistic elite and also the history of the Hasmoneans to a greater degree, including the conquest and forced conversions of the neighbouring peoples, such as the Idumeans.
Peace out.
Well done. A followup detail on a particular personality, specifically Judah, would be appreciated. Next to Joseph, he is likely the most significant, yet most unappreciated character of Genesis.
Ephraim
See also Book of Mormon; Israel; Joseph, Son of Jacob; Manasseh
In the Old Testament, the second son of Joseph and Asenath (Gen. 41:50-52; 46:20). Contrary to the traditional manner, Ephraim received the birthright blessing instead of Manasseh, who was the elder son (Gen. 48:17-20). Ephraim became the father of the tribe of Ephraim.
The tribe of Ephraim
Ephraim was given the birthright in Israel (1 Chr. 5:1-2; Jer. 31:9). In the last days their privilege and responsibility is to bear the priesthood, take the message of the restored gospel to the world, and raise an ensign to gather scattered Israel (Isa. 11:12-13; 2 Ne. 21:12-13). The children of Ephraim will crown with glory those from the north countries who return in the last days (D&C 133:26-34).
The stick of Ephraim or Joseph
A record of one group from the tribe of Ephraim that was led from Jerusalem to America about 600 B.C. This group’s record is called the stick of Ephraim or Joseph, or the Book of Mormon. It and the stick of Judah (the Bible) form a unified testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Resurrection, and His divine work among these two segments of the house of Israel.
A branch of Ephraim will be broken off and will write another testament of Christ, JST, Gen. 50:24-26, 30-31.
The stick of Judah and the stick of Joseph will become one, Ezek. 37:15-19.
The writings of Judah and of Joseph shall grow together, 2 Ne. 3:12.
The Lord speaks to many nations, 2 Ne. 29.
The keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim were committed to Moroni, D&C 27:5.
@@GregFessia the book of Mormon is too goofy for me to take seriously. Also the convention of the eldest son receiving the blessing of his father is broken many times in the bible.

@@RobbieSalome Are “Mormons” Christian?
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints unequivocally affirm themselves to be Christians. They worship God the Eternal Father in the name of Jesus Christ. When asked what the Latter-day Saints believe, Joseph Smith put Christ at the center: “The fundamental principles of our religion is the testimony of the apostles and prophets concerning Jesus Christ, ‘that he died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended up into heaven;’ and all other things are only appendages to these, which pertain to our religion.” The modern-day Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reaffirmed that testimony when they proclaimed, “Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. … His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come.”
In recent decades, however, some have claimed that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a Christian church. The most oft-used reasons are the following:
Latter-day Saints do not accept the creeds, confessions, and formulations of post-New Testament Christianity.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not descend through the historical line of traditional Christianity. That is, Latter-day Saints are not Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant.
Latter-day Saints do not believe scripture consists of the Holy Bible alone but have an expanded canon of scripture that includes the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.
Each of these is examined below.
Latter-day Saints Do Not Accept the Creeds of Post-New Testament Christianity
Scholars have long acknowledged that the view of God held by the earliest Christians changed dramatically over the course of centuries. Early Christian views of God were more personal, more anthropomorphic, and less abstract than those that emerged later from the creeds written over the next several hundred years. The key ideological shift that began in the second century A.D., after the loss of apostolic authority, resulted from a conceptual merger of Christian doctrine with Greek philosophy.
Latter-day Saints believe the melding of early Christian theology with Greek philosophy was a grave error. Chief among the doctrines lost in this process was the nature of the Godhead. The true nature of God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost was restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. As a consequence, Latter-day Saints hold that God the Father is an embodied being, a belief consistent with the attributes ascribed to God by many early Christians. This Latter-day Saint belief differs from the post-New Testament creeds.
Whatever the doctrinal differences that exist between the Latter-day Saints and members of other Christian religions, the roles Latter-day Saints ascribe to members of the Godhead largely correspond with the views of others in the Christian world. Latter-day Saints believe that God is omnipotent, omniscient, and all-loving, and they pray to Him in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. In short, Latter-day Saints do not accept the post-New Testament creeds yet rely deeply on each member of the Godhead in their daily religious devotion and worship, as did the early Christians.
Latter-day Saints Believe in a Restored Christianity
Another premise used in arguing that Latter-day Saints are not Christians is that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not descend from the traditional line of today’s Christian churches: Latter-day Saints are not Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or Protestant. Latter-day Saints believe that by the ministering of angels to Joseph Smith priesthood authority to act in God’s name was returned or brought back to earth. This is the “restored,” not a “reformed,” church of Jesus Christ. The Latter-day Saint belief in a restored Christianity helps explain why so many Latter-day Saints, from the 1830s to the present, have converted from other Christian denominations. These converts did not, and do not, perceive themselves as leaving the Christian fold; they are simply grateful to learn about and become part of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, which they believe offers the fulness of the Lord’s gospel, a more complete and rich Christian church-spiritually, organizationally, and doctrinally.
Members of creedal churches often mistakenly assume that all Christians have always agreed and must agree on a historically static, monolithic collection of beliefs. As many scholars have acknowledged, however, Christians have vigorously disagreed about virtually every issue of theology and practice through the centuries, leading to the creation of a multitude of Christian denominations. Although the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differs from that of the many creedal Christian churches, it is consistent with early Christianity. One who sincerely loves, worships, and follows Christ should be free to claim his or her understanding of the doctrine according to the dictates of his or her conscience without being branded as non-Christian.
Latter-day Saints Believe in an Open Canon
A third justification argued to label Latter-day Saints as non-Christian has to do with their belief in an open scriptural canon. For those making this argument, to be a Christian means to assent to the principle of sola scriptura, or the self-sufficiency of the Bible. But to claim that the Bible is the sole and final word of God-more specifically, the final written word of God-is to claim more for the Bible than it claims for itself. Nowhere does the Bible proclaim that all revelations from God would be gathered into a single volume to be forever closed and that no further scriptural revelation could be received.
Moreover, not all Christian churches are certain that Christianity must be defined by commitment to a closed canon. In truth, the argument for exclusion by closed canon appears to be used selectively to exclude the Latter-day Saints from being called Christian. No branch of Christianity limits itself entirely to the biblical text in making doctrinal decisions and in applying biblical principles. Roman Catholics, for example, turn to church tradition and the magisterium (meaning teachers, including popes and councils) for answers. Protestants, particularly evangelicals, turn to linguists and scripture scholars for their answers, as well as to post-New Testament church councils and creeds. For many Christians, these councils and creeds are every bit as canonical as the Bible itself. To establish doctrine and to understand the biblical text, Latter-day Saints turn to living prophets and to additional books of scripture-the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.
Together with the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon supports an unequivocal testimony of Jesus Christ. One passage says that the Book of Mormon “shall establish the truth” of the Bible “and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.” In its more than six thousand verses, the Book of Mormon refers to Jesus Christ almost four thousand times and by over one hundred different names: “Jehovah,” “Immanuel,” “Holy Messiah,” “Lamb of God,” “Redeemer of Israel,” and so on. The Book of Mormon is indeed “Another Testament of Jesus Christ,” as its title page proclaims.
Conclusion
Converts across the world continue to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in part because of its doctrinal and spiritual distinctiveness. That distinctiveness flows from the knowledge restored to this earth, together with the power of the Holy Ghost present in the Church because of restored priesthood authority, keys, ordinances, and the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fruits of the restored gospel are evident in the lives of its faithful members.
While members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have no desire to compromise the distinctiveness of the restored Church of Jesus Christ, they wish to work together with other Christians-and people of all faiths-to recognize and remedy many of the moral and family issues faced by society. The Christian conversation is richer for what the Latter-day Saints bring to the table. There is no good reason for Christian faiths to ostracize each other when there has never been more urgent need for unity in proclaiming the divinity and teachings of Jesus Christ.

in hebrew there aren't separate words for "jew" and "judean" or "israeli" and "israelite"
the former two are "יהודי" "yehudi" and the latter are "ישראלי" "yisra'eli"
Israelite is bene Yisrael "sons of Israel" meaning everyone from all tribes. Refering to the 10 tribes of the nation israel initially, and now refering to the group made up of menesseh Ephraim and Levi is שומרוני, or Samaritan. Yehudi means Judean or Jew (who were kicked out of Judea). Yisraeli simply means anyone who follows the YHWH religion (which assumes they originate from Israel) and in modern Hebrew just means an Israeli citizens
@@SammytheawesomeILikePotatoes in my original comment I didn't mean to say that's not true, I only meant that there's no distinction between the names in the original Hebrew (jewish==Judean)!= (israelite==Israeli)
AMAZING. So packed with all the information yet beautifully concise. Im a huge fan 🤩
00:47 In the archeological Bible-lands museum in Jerusalem, the Philistines are presented as being part of the sea peoples
I did not suggest that it is factual. I was presenting a point of interest. The museum, however, did present findings and evidence pointing at the Philistines being part of that massive migration, I do not recall the evidence, you probably could find it out if it interests you
@@Yassinekamp it's hard to say for certain most scholars believe that the sea people were variety of tribes from different areas is it possible to feel the same for one of them or not. It's also possible that calling them sea people in the scriptures they were not making a reference to the sea people reference in Egypt but to something else.
Ibn Muhammad they were greeks
@@bryanmcclure2220 One of the places that the sea people came from according to that ancient Egyptian source was "Peleset" which is also the name that the Bible calls the land where the Philistines lived.
according to dna researches they were originally Greeks.
I love this channel because i Use it along the Bible at the same time. So fascinating history
Biblically accurate! Well done. Keep up the good work.
This was very informative. It does explain a lot about the Biblical record. I am glad that you focused on the historical record. People who watch this video must also watch your other videos which explain when Joseph died a new Pharoh in Egypt arise who did not know the Hebrews. It is clear from all of your videos why this occurred with the inter-marriage with the Hittites. I am very grateful for your tireless work on this historical record and I plan to use it in my Bible study group. Your short and to the point message help to explain the missing context from the historical perspective not found in the Bible. You have been a blessing to me. Thank you and God Bless you.
It’s just crazy how accurate the prophecy’s are. And how Jesus said no stone would be left on top of another and 40 years after his resurrection the nation is scattered for 2000 years
The book was written AFTER the destruction of the temple. The writer had Jesus say that because the temple was already destroyed.
Appreciate the work learned a couple of things more thank you
Thank you, this what exactly I was looking for about Israel's history. And it's great it's just 5mins. Keep it up!
Rachel Pamorada nice nice
Israel’s ancient history has connection in biblical references
YUP
That's amazing, so who's doing the arts or drawings?
I do the drawings, narration, researching,, editing and writing :)
@@EpimetheusHistory Impressive.
Epimetheus great job on the drawing!
@@EpimetheusHistory great job drawing them the right color now your own people may hate you but thank you
@@deeaikens9843 I LOVE his drawings. Especially the details in the facial features, his accurate and detailed clothes and armor. He does a great job.
I love your videos. But try to speak a bit higher so your voice is easier to hear and to understand!🤙
Jews been around LONGER THAN Islam.
True
And woke people think that it doesn't belong to Jews.
The Jews came there after the middle Kingdom of Egypt.
And there was an Egyptian religion before any of the Abrahamic ones. And that same religion has more than 40% of the same stories and parallels. It doesn’t matter it’s a genocide because of religion which is one of the biggest pieces of mind control. Anyone who does unbiased research into theology comes to the same conclusion.
@@cartiercaper6629 yes. The Egyptian religion followed by the ancestors of the true owners of Palestine has ceased to exist. I'm not into racialism but, by racial logic (Put forward by evil Z10nists) the Egyptians and the locals of the surrounding region deserve Palestine.
I enjoyed the video very much. As a student of the Bible end of Christ I already knew much of it and it seems to be correct. The short videos encourage people who won’t watch a long one to at least take a look and I for one appreciate them!
Hey Epithemus, nice video as ever :) what was your reason for linking the caananites with the sea people? I'd like to read on that if you could throw me a link :) Some video suggestions; The Eurasian Steppe and it's influence on the ancient world (Yamnayan, Scythian, Hun, Mongol, Bulgar, Roma and Turkish empires/invasions/migrations); The link between massive climate change and empire collapse; Bronze Age Europe and the vast trade/information sharing network; Megalithic Stone Age Europe; Sumeria & Arratta/Yamnaya.
I appreciate this video. You spoke too fast for me so I put the video on .75 speed and that helped me. Having a short but thorough walk thru the history was wonderful.
i liked this one thank you.
I watch your videos and you don't tell the truth especially when comes to Black history😠

@Bailey Frankson if that works for you
@Bailey Frankson he came to expose the fake Israeli diaspora and he's gone
@Bailey Frankson nonsense. Devil worshipper
Great video as always. But do a spelling check before uploading.
An excellent summary.
Thanks for this video 😀. I can finally put a timeline for these biblical leaders 😉
Your welcome....Glad you liked it :)

Another satisfactory video! I admire that you cover lesser known subjects that don't get as much interest in western schools. Keep it up, it makes your channel stand out more.
Perhaps you can go into detail on the overlooked Phoenicians, who they were exactly and how far their influence spread in a future video?
Phoenician video would be great! They are one of the people groups that make up modern Spaniards
thank you ! Im 30 years old and atheist and have NEVER known the history of this. Thank you! :)
Kinda sad. Not an attack on you tho. It just helps explain why so many people are uneducated on the full breadth of the israeli-palestinian conflict. While both can be considered Invaders of the original Canaanite territory, one has been there almost a thousand years longer than the other.
Would you consider doing a video of the Canaanites? I know you did one about the Phoenicians whom are closely related. But since little is known about the Canaanites it would be interesting. Just a suggestion. You’re videos are fantastic
Don Linn CANAANITES?! look around especially if you live in the USA 🇺🇸 .... they are alive and well!
they sacrifised children
@@Aeon1019 Hey!!!What that does means?.
@@sophiawilson8696 canaanites are the descendants of CAIN, the brother of ABEL, who slew him for FINANCIAL GAIN! His offspring are those under formations called United Nations, majority of THE SNAKES are United under the STAR spangled Banner 🇺🇸 .... mixed breed with the fallen angels.

@@Aeon1019 bs I sorry I look for facts not fairytale book for answers.
So where were the Arabs (Palestinians) at this time??
The answer could solve the current war in the Middle East right now 🙇♂️🙇♂️
None of the jews today were even there to Lol , israellites were black every ancient source shows it they were of ethiopian race which meant african at that time.
@@fredalifts Israel is not in Africa nor Hebrew is an African language.
@@Woobyer you get it wrong
@@WoobyerIsrael wes ENSLAVED by Egyptians and Hebrews is Afro-Asiatic Language
Great video, Epimetheus. "Hebrew", aka Ivrit, is also the language Jewish people speak. It is the official language of Israel.
Love your channel.
You said the fate of the 10 tribes is unknown however, Deuteronomy tell us what would happened to them if they remained on a rebellious path. They were enslaved by nations that exalted themselves with the eagle, scattered across the world and destroyed psychologically so they’d forget their bloodlines, culture and even their names. Issachar, being enslaved but spaniards and Judah being enslaved by early europeans. We tend to ignore prophecy that came to pass in the Hebrew Bible and discard it as non-factual or non-canon.
Where does it state that they will forget their bloodlines
Which is why modern Israelites trying to make claims on lands Palestinians live on is null and void. God warned the Israelites loooooong in advance what would happen if they rebelled and they continued to do so for centuries. They cannot claim a divine mandate which they lost long ago.
@@rossk3482 Deuteronomy 28:48
therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, which the LorD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.
One of the curses the moses prophesized in Deuteronomy.
@@rossk3482 Look at the descendants of the 12 tribes today. Would you say they’ve been destroyed? Most dont even know where we come from because we had no identity as anything but slaves for hundreds of years
@@CyrussNP there’s some truth to that. However, the bible says the Israelites will be uplifted again and it’s beginning to happen as we speak… whether the internet likes it or not lol
