Through prayer I sensed God telling me Hebrew was the original written word around 2012. So I studied the Hebrew alphabet and their meanings. Dr. Petrovich has one more committed supporter. I pray his work becomes common knowledge in every seminary and church.
I love the "it's ok if you don't agree, just listen open-minded and format your own opinion" QUIT letting people tell you how to think and feel. Use your own brain and actually think, ask yourself questions, and look at all views.
Sounds great!! But we are so pathetically bad at what you are suggesting. I’m not saying people shouldn’t TRY. Just don’t conclude because you’ve gone through that process that it demonstrates your conclusions are justified. In most cases, people invoke the powers of their rational thinking processes to build support for the conclusions they already favor. It’s a process that mimics actual evidence-based/logically justified thinking, but may be just an exercise in self-deception. At minimum, it’s necessary to be able to recognize logical fallacies, and to honestly assess your own susceptibility to motivated reasoning, and understand the nature of cognitive bias. Ultimately, the only reliable way of overcoming cognitive bias is by collaboration and sharing of evidence and reasoning, as in the scientific process.

He said he guessed the direction of right to left for the Ashneth inscription at 46:00 . He did not have to guess. He is right that it is from right to left because you always read Egyptian hieroglyphs in the direction that is towards the face of the animals, human faces etc. You always look into the face of the animal or human. This is standard knowlege on how to read Egyptian. The human head in the first column is facing towards the right. You will also notice that the ox head "A" (at the top) and the snake "N" (at the bottom) in the second column are also facing towards the right. Therefore you start at the right and move towards the left.
By he, of course, respectfully, you mean Dr. Petrovich. And yes, there can be no doubt that a "guess" for someone of his caliber is invariably an educated one, nor any doubt that his decision was at least in part informed by what you call "standard" knowledge.
@@thomasraywood679 I have to think that when he says "guess" he really means guess. It seems clear to me that he knows little or no ancient Egyptian or he would not have used the word guess. An expert on the language would not say this or his peers would lose faith in him. It is a bit like saying that you guess that Hebrew is written from right to left. Anyone who knows anything about Hebrew knows that it is a fact that you read from right to left. There is no guessing about it. However, saying all that, the very little ancient Egyptian that he seems to know from his admission of guessing is enough knowledge for him to do a very good job on this theory that I think looks very believable. The writing is not in ancient Egyptian anyway so he does not need to know anything about ancient Egyptian. I have picked up a book on how to learn Akkadian for PhD students takes a lot of short cuts to learning the language. A person who uses this book will have lots of big holes in their knowledge of the language compared to someone who has devoted the proper time needed for the task. I have seen other much better books on the subject that give much more information. These people have to dicipher (rather than translating) the language very quickly because they have too much else to do. Also, I notice that he called Egyptian writting "Egyptian hieroglyphics" at 1:02:00. Hieroglyphics is the adjective. Hieroglyphs is the noun. He should have said "Egyptian hieroglyphs" instead. If you key in "Which direction is ancient Egyptian written?" in Google it will tell you the answer. He needs to take on board what I have said because it will slightly strengthen his thesis.
It seems like the basis for your dismissal of this presentation is guesswork regarding the direction in which the text is to be read. But he never said that he guessed.
@@prycenewberg3976 At 48:20 onwards he says that he finds whether it goes from left to right or from right to left by "trial and error". In other words he says that he guessed until he got a sensible translation.
@@bobgriffin316 It's also possible that he meant he tested his assumption (of the correct reading following Egyptian rules) by trial and error. If the text he was examining wasn't Egyptian, why would it have followed Egyptian rules of order?
The oldest known language is proto-Sumerian. It is a pictographic language, where symbols of common objects have translatable meanings. The earliest example is something that could have even been written by Noah himself, called the Ahora Gorge Inscription. Which when translated becomes what we know as Genesis 9:7.
Let's fix this title here: "Along With Many Other Ancient Collateral Semitic Language Scripts, Did the Text Developed by the Hebrews Also Evolve From the World's Oldest Proto-Pictograph Alphabet?"
You're assuming it "evolved " from "primitive " pictographs, which is folly. Pictographs and alphabet scripts have existed side by side many times in history. In the past, and still today, writing systems are conserved as part of cultural identity. Writing systems have been considered sacred since the beginning. Some change may occur in style as a way to identify some major event, but it's a decision, not so much an evolution.
Do you know of a writing system produced to represent the mental images and physical motions described in a complex language that was not, during its earliest beginnings, initially drawn out as a visual paradigm of pictographic symbols? Pictographic symbolism invariably predates the intellectually more remote abstract phonetics of abstract scripts. The abstract scripts have simply evolved beyond their much more easily recognizable pictographic beginnings to such an extent that they have become phonetically ambiguous. . @@valerieprice1745
The book "The World's Oldest Alphabet: Hebrew as the Language of the Proto- Consonantal Script" by Dougls Petrovich published by Carta Jerusalem at 21:35 and 26:44 is out of print.

It was very interesting to see that the letter that means "spun-fiber" (qur?) does NOT change. It remains an unmistakable top-whorl flax spindle, all the way across! (Yes, I like to make my own thread/yarn.) 🙂
Hebrew was not a "dead" language in Jesus time either. Scholars are finding this out. Jesus followers were Hebrew speaking Jews. No need to write in greek
I disagree that the Sea of Reeds was the Exodus route. Exodus 13: 17-18 says: When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea (some say Reed Sea). The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle. End of quote. This would been WAY too far away from the Philistine country to matter if they crossed the Reed sea where today is the Suez Canal. Moreover, how would crossing the Reed Sea lead them into the land of Midian? Paul plainly shows in Galatians 4:25 that Mount Sinai is in ARABIA. Northwest Arabia has been called Midian up to relatively modern times. The Israelites did not continue towards the Promised land by way of the Philistines, but as the passage quoted above says: "God led the people AROUND by the desert road toward the Red Sea" meaning AROUND the route towards the Philistines. When they eventually do enter the promised land (40 years later due to sin), they enter and cross the Jordan from the EAST towards the west far on the OTHER SIDE of the Philistines. This is because they crossed the RED Sea and not the Reed Sea.
Very good explanation. Midian is where Moses fled to after he killed the Egyptian beating the Israelite and went to Midian, where he met Zipporah and married her. Midian was a descendant of Abraham through another wife (Keturah) after Sarah had died. Genesis Chapter 25
@@Alec_Cox Yes I knew he fled to Midian 40 or so years earlier and married Zipporah etc. I did not know it was named after a descendant of Abraham. Thank-you. Beware of some of what academics like Petrovich say but instead have critical thinking from scriptures to debunk them. Petrovich in another video claimed that the Reed Sea was the crossing place and not the Red Sea as I mentioned above along with the Biblical reasons why it cannot be the Sea of Reeds. He also believes Mt. Sinai was in the Sinai peninsula and not in Midian (this was in another video) And the Bible makes clear he's also wrong when the first writing occurred. According to Jude verse 14: Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” This proves that Enoch who was taken by God before Noah was even born wrote the book we have today called the First Book of Enoch (partly preserved in the Dead Sea Scolls). The only way this could have been preserved is that it was preserved after Enoch's lifetime until the flood, and Noah and his family preserved it through the flood, thus we have it until this day. So there was written language over 500 years before the Flood, according the Bible. There is Bible fact we CAN rely on.
@@paulbriggs3072 Amen. and yes, they want to deny that Mt Sinai is in the Arabian peninsula, which is utter nonsense and absurd on many levels. Moses fled to Midian and was herding the sheep when he was called to the Burning Bush that was on Mount Sinai. The Split rock that had water flow when Moses struck the rock is plainly seen east of Midian and Jethro came to see Moses at the actual Mt Sinai which is not in the Sinai peninsula at all... Another Catholic legend that has failed the test.

Yahoshua, the Son of the One True Living Elohim. Baruch ata Adonai Elohynu, creator of Light, Life and Love, Spoke the universe and all therin into existence in Ivrit. HalleluYah Amen
In the book of Jubilees is says that Ivryt (Hebrew) is the language from creation. It means that when Elohim created Adam and Eve, he spoke to them hebrew. Adam and Eve and all humans on earth spoke hebrew up to the confusion of languages at the tower of Babel.
We have what is called the Enochian alphabet from which Enoch wrote his 365 books in the Hebrew language/ alphabet. Enoch being the 7th from Adam should be a telltale sign due to the fact that he communicated with angels in this language. The Enochian language is also referred to as the angelic language.
Avram, the first to be called 'Hebrew', himself grew up in Ur, which was in the heart of the Summerian kingdom. Which most likely means he spoke sumerian and not the language we now know as Hebrew.
My niece is in a group called The Way, that says we shouldn't say God etc. We should use his Hebrew name and must know that to enter in. She also says Jesus was invented. How would you respond?
@@bethr8756 the letter j wasn't invented into the English language until around 1650. If you read scripture such as 1611 kjv, the name is not jesus.

Your neice is correct. It does take some digging to discover. Scripture says to study to show yourself approved
The son of Joseph wrote Jospeh’s will to be burried in Sechem. Jos 24:32. The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the part of the field that Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of money. So it became the inheritance of the tribe of Joseph.

Again, It's not that I don't believe him, I just wasn't very convinced by THIS presentation. Maybe he's a better writer. Or maybe I just didn't. have my head in it that day. But none-the-less, was the Mount Ebal find the one he was kicked off of?
@Drake Miser It was the dig at Hazor. Recording the destruction of Hazor by Joshua and a second destruction later by Debra. Evidence that should be widely known as archeology is a science. But the public is always kept in the dark "even in the digital age" I'd wager because archeology confirms the bible over and over and over again.
Dr. Petrovich is a brilliant and tenacious researcher. It is a fact atheist academics know no bounds in their attempts to discredit biblical historicity.
In fact they will even cite archeological reasons they doubt the Bible without realizing they cite things found in the Bible to prove the Bible is accurate. That is how poor their basic reading of Scriptures is.
True but ironically it's just more evidence the Bible is true. And that deep down they know this and are so desperate to delude themselves and try and decieve others because they're terrified of it and the fact they'll be held accountable fir everything. Really they remind me of spoilt bratty rebellious little children... like those kids at school who'd go hide in corners somewhere to smoke or drink and do drugs... whom ate always so desperate to try and get everyone else to join cause deep down they know its harmful and there will be consequences but try to forget it and must figure theyll have a soft of safety in numbers.

What's really intriguing is the Iberian language and writings, that's the real mistery of antiquity. The Iberians were a people of the Mediterranean that had contacts with Phoenicians, Hebrews, Greeks and Romans. I'd love to see a follow up video with this information. Thanks for a great video.
Today's date is 21 ELUL 5782 using Hebrew Calendar. The oldest alphabet in the world is Baybayin it is composed of 17 Pelasgic letters used by Adam and Eve. Hebrew alphabet came from it.
🙄Just all around poor scholarship on Douglas' part. He quotes from only parts of the bible to help support his premise, but not all because some parts do not. i.e (he quotes from Psalms to support the theory of Amenhotep II being the Pharaoh of the exodus, but not the Torah in the book of exodus that clearly states "ALL PERISHED" in the Red Sea) I wouldn't dare give the title Dr. for this man; the University of Toronto should be embarrassed!
Jesus was in the Bible since Genesis. They knew there was a redemption plan to replace Adam. Jesus also only taught about Himself from the Torah and the Prophets. We need to understand that salvation can be understood without the Gospel. As it is recorded in both Genesis and Hebrews, Abraham kept the Torah because he had faith in YHVH and it was counted unto him as righteousness. Salvation has always and only been through having faith in the coming and soon returning Jesus and repenting of breaking God's Law. 1 John 3:4 clearly explains that sin is transgression of the Law. God doesn't have different plans of Salvation for different people. It's all 1 cohesive plan and contract from Genesis to Revelation.
Pictographs then are the strongest evidence for the Tower of Babel. For at this time writing was still not wide spread because the main communication was through the power of speech. Since everyone couldn't understand one another for a time pictures were drawn to describe what people were talking about. As time passed and man communicated more with their neighbors people began to speak each other's language and understand what their neighbors were saying. It is no surprise that language wouldn't be widespread until the time of Alexander of Macedon who sought to unify the world through Greek culture. This was later adopted by the Romans and from them the Norse people they ruled had learned Latin, and seeing that Greek was the first language the Hebrew Scriptures were officially translated in it is no surprise why we have many Hebrew, Greek, and Latin translations which followed it.
And the Norse languages eventually changed into the modern English we have today which has a ton of Greek and Latin loan words, as well as from other languages. We are now reaching the point where virtually everyone communicates in one tongue as we did during the Tower of Babel.
There's actually a thing called Edenics by Isaac Mozeson that shows how the letters got scrambled and corrupted from the original Hebrew into all the other languages at Babel.
@@jeremiahcastro9700 yeah. You ever notice how some words FEEL like they're related but when you look up the etymology in the dictionary it gives some off the wall random thing and fails to make the obvious connection or reference? Well if you look at the Hebrew word for it and use the edenics method of restoring/untangling the word you'll actually see that the words are both derived from the Hebrew
@@christatum3045 Lol! Funny you bring up _Edenics_ because it completely blew my mind! Isaac Mozeson is definitely high level when it comes to linguistics, especially as it relates to Hebrew.
There was a written language of some kind long before Egypt existed. Not consonantal necessarily, but a written language of some kind nonetheless. How do I know this? In the book of Jude chapter 1 verse 14 it says: "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness...etc." What this tells you is that Noch who existed before the flood, before Egypt existed, before the post flood nations existed, wrote prophetic writings. This would prove that Enoch's writings not only were brought out through the flood on the ark by Noah (how else could it still exist?) but that it existed during Jesus's time and the New Testament writings. Even more convincing is the fact that fragments of the book of Enoch was found among the Dead Sea scrolls and now in the museum of the scrolls in Israel. (The Ethiopian book of Enoch matches these fragments) Whatever modern archeologists cite as the oldest, they can at best cite one of the oldest POST FLOOD languages.
Every schoolchild who used a dictionary or encyclopedia before the internet knew this because we saw the proof with our own eyes. Lined up alphabets of ancient Hebrew Phoenician Roman and English alphabets and you could see they were the same but slightly changed
Was'nt the alphabet found in Ugarit the oldest precursor of our modern alphabet. Probably a semitic input but not specifically Hebrew. But there were earlier alphabets than the Ugarit.
With written language being so extremely ubiquitous for everyone in all aspects of our English-speaking life today, it's hard to grasp that a written language was ever so clumsy and unapproachable.
Dr. Petrovich: you are absolutely correct in your information. You are honoring God and you are honoring the savior. I am praying for you and my desire is that you will kick butt all over academia. You are absolutely correct. God bless you, dear brother!
No Hebrew is not the oldest alphabet. It appears that the Hebrew alphabet was derived from hieratic characters. There is an inscription in Hebrew language, written in hieratic on the wall of an Egyptian turquoise mine. So right now, I'd say it looks like hieratic was adapted to facilitate written proto Hebrew, somewhat before the unopposed Hyksos invasion of Egypt.

@1:08:00... Asenath was NOT egyptian. Gen 41:45, 50 & 46:20 say "daughter of Potipherah priest of On"...none of these verses say that she was egyptian. Joseph married Asenath daughter of Poti-phera, and Joshua son of Nun, who was a chieftain of the tribe of Ephraim (Num. 13:8) because IF he had married an egyptian, his sons could NOT have been blessed by Jacob/continued their father's priesthood. His brother Esau, forfeited his birthright when he married the wrong women (Gen 26:34) - Issac only agreed to give Jacob the birthright IF he married within the proper bloodline (Gen 28:1,2 & 4)
Great! Keeping in mind that The Creator want all men to be saved. So, it doesn't matter if the sacred alphabet came straight from the Hebrews or not because all men should be aware... And it came to be hebrew, and will come to an end some day. Will be no more necessary... All nations have some portions from The Creator teachings...
I have a theory that before the tower of Babel people and animals were able to communicate telepathically which would be the purest form of communication so there would be no need for writing or language. The confusion of tongues then was the advent of language and writing which is open to interpretation or confusion. Think about how many times someone has taken your text message out of context or misunderstood the nature of it. Since then our pineal glands have shrunk limiting our ability to transmit and receive brain waves
That third word --- r b r looks wrong to me, the r looks like a d - would then spell dbr which is hebrew word, hence the translation would be House Vineyard Asenath, words engraved come to life
If Manasa was writing Hebrew, it's unwise to imagine the proto Hebrew script wasn't already in use previously. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Keep digging. They're bound to have other examples in the basement of some museum, or at other archeological sites.
I agree but I'm the kind of man that likes balance, if it turns out Petrovich is right and this is Hebrew then so be it, but I like to see the Bible in a way that makes sense not just believe in a bunch of evangelical literalist nonsense. While it might be true that I think some atheists need a taste of spiritual reality I equally think that Christians and Jews in a large does of Bill Donahue.
Hebrew is the first Consonantal phonetic Alephbet in World history. It it also the first phonetic alephbet in world history, and believe it or not, it likely preceded Jacob going down to Egypt. Yet, since Jacob's family only numbered 70 people, finding evidence of a written record of just one small tribe would be almost impossible. When Jacob's numbers exploded during the period of slavery in Egypt, finding a written record would become more likely.
Those numbers exploded not during a period of slavery but rather a period of prosperity. Of those 430 years in Egypt only the last 100 or so were ill characterized.
@@thomasraywood679 The first 30 years in bondage, Israel was not persecuted, but as they multiplied and a new pharaoh took office, things changed.

Aramaic script merged to Canaanite culture. Hebrew evolved out of Canaanite Script. "Graven Images" were not allowed in the Law of Moses, which condemns written language arts, in favor of an oral tradition where the Priests is actually the "Book of Life" as the Teacher, and the Law was written on the heart and mind, not engraved on stone. So some changes of metaphors led us to think the "Word of God" is a human invention of books, or writing , when in fact the Medium was the body of the Priest such that by the Image of God, being the Human Form, elect by the Priestly Unction or Anointing of Spirit into a human form , the man became literally "WORD OF GOD" . Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, is an original concept of how God communes through the Priest, who orally speaks the Law, and the people listen and believe. But the world went on to invent written language arts as something artificial. like computers or "A.I.". The real deal is that Jesus was born of the Spirit in Zion , circumcised by the Temple Priests and received the Korbanot of Temple Israel , to grow in wisdom and knowledge, and in Spirit, and being elect as a Nazirite Priest at age 30 , Jesus was given license by Caiaphas the High Priest to enter the Temple Israel Holy Ground and teach ORAL LAW TRADITION to the Jews. Then in mystery being put to death , rejected of Men, reduced to being like an animal where the Psalmist recites 'I am not a man, I am only a worm". So the Vessel of the Oral Speaker Tradition lain in state three days during a eight day Passover, was risen from the dead and so fully fulfilling the Law , Jesus entered the Glory ,consumed by Heaven , thus being God in singular substance of the Eternal Matter, Jesus was as ISRAEL, the First Born Son of God. Jesus is God, Whatever is in Heaven is one substance of eternal matter, not the elemental atomic particles, but the Eternal Matter, which is one substance , so that Jesus is God. 3=1 So the Word of God is a PERSON of GOD who recites the Law and interprets the relevance of the law to answer Riddles and speaks in Parables. The New Covenant said God by Jeremiah the Prophet is not by a human invention of handwriting arts but the Finger of God writes upon the tablets of their hearts. So all the metaphors are taken amiss to claim "Hebrew " as "Graven Images" but in fact it is an ORAL TRADITION and these references to books and scribes are metaphors creating for us a RIDDLE. In so far Jesus is a Nazirite in the Priesthood of Melchizedek forever , now of one substance of Heaven as is with the Father and the Spirit in Heaven, Jesus Christ is the literal WORD OF GOD.
Hebrew is not the worlds oldest alphabet. It is like saying a black person "invented" the electric light. During the Bronze age collapse whole systems of writing disappeared and the Jews were in no position to invent a new system of writing. They had to negotiate the effects of the Bronze age collapse, during which whole systems of writing disappeared. And most presentations, not all are vague on dating when the Jews left (were chased out of) Egypt.
The earliest documentation of the Hebrew script is from 1842 BC. The stone tablet, nicknamed "Sinai 115", mentioned Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Menashe - when it was claimed that the latter was the one who himself engraved the inscription on the stone.
All the types of writing you mentioned are not phonetic letters with consonants and punctuation, but writing symbols that express in the drawing a whole word and not a syllable. The ancient script developed by the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Hittites, etc, is a script of peg-like signs that express logograms, that is, signs that represent whole words rather than independent syllables. Their writing consisted of graphic drawings that represented objects in the real world: if you wanted to write 'Shor' (Bull) you drew a small bull. If you wanted to draw a Balloon it had nothing compared to and similar to 'Bull' also sounds close. It was just another drawing. Around 1500 BC someone, whether educated scholars or ignorant slaves, decided to simplify the complex Egyptian hieroglyphics and distill it into only twenty-two letters in a systematic and general simpler way. Each letter in ancient Hebrew (Proto-Canaanite) script represented a consonantal sound like Alef , Bet, Gimel... Resh, Shin, Tsadi ..., etc. A word was composed of a collection of consonants: 'Sh.r.' Represented the word 'Shor' (Ox). The vowel letter O was marked with a score, attached to a letter, and not by a separate letter. The ingenious simplicity of the ancient Proto-Canaanite Hebrew script fascinated many, especially the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians lived in what is now Lebanon and were a nation of seafarers: they traded with almost all neighboring peoples. The simple and efficient script was very suitable for documenting transactions and sales, and the Phoenicians adopted it - with some modifications - around 1300 BC. With the help of the Phoenicians, the Canaanite script spread throughout the Middle East and formed the basis of many types of script known today. It should be noted that the claim is in any case, not that Hebrew is the first written language, but that it is the source of the alphabet script adopted by the peoples of the Mediterranean Basin and the peoples of ancient Europe. In any case, the origin of the Jews is from Mesopotamia and therefore Akkadian is also part of the ancient culture of the Hebrews.
@@avikerem7426 The "Jews" didn't become Jews until they were thrown out of Egypt. More than likely they had lived side by side with other Semitic peoples, most notably the Hyksos. This amalgam of different but definitely racially related group were expelled ~ 1500 BC by native Egyptians who resented the mass immigration of animal herders that had built up over the years in the northwestern area of the Nile delta.. It was these people, through this common experience became the Jews of today. This does not mean that Noah et al did not exist, it just means they coalesced as a tight knit group in Egypt. In any case they were expelled before the Bronze Age collapse;. The most distinguishing feature of the Bronze Aged collapse(~ 1200-1150 BC) is that who ever the sea peoples were they succeeded in bin burning pretty much anything they encountered to the ground, the Egyptians were the notable exception. The Ugarits had an alphabet, but it used cuneiform like marks to form its symbol set and did not employ cuneiform in the way the Mesopotamia did. This language is attested to and even describes the last days of its existence as the place was burned to the ground. I doubt the shard of pottery is anything more than that. Although very different written characters from the Phoenician were used, linguists think there is a close connection between the two languages.To state anything outside of Egypt survived that fifty year period takes more than a shard of pottery. And the claim being made in this video is that Hebrew was the first written language; that's what alphabets are for.
Refering to the hills of Canaan Dr William Dever: "We know today, from archeological investigation, that there were more than 300 early villages of the 13th and 12th century in the area. I call these "proto-Israelite" villages". *This has been verified by archeologists* i.e. Mazur, Na'aman, Finkelstein, Faust and Dever courtesy of "thetorah" Dr William Dever, an archaeologist normally associated with the more conservative end of Syro-Palestinian archaeology, has labeled the question of the historicity of Exodus “dead”. Israeli archaeologist Ze’ev Herzog provides his view on the historicity of the Exodus:[7] The Israelites never were in Egypt. They never came from abroad. This whole chain is broken. It is not a historical one. It is a later legendary reconstruction - made in the seventh century [BCE] - of a history that never happened We know the early Hebrews were shepherds living in the hills of Canaan. They were never in Egypt
For starters, you mean world's not worlds. Not missing the irony. But you speak out of turn. The events Dr. Petrovich describes occurred centuries before the BAC. You also use unnecessarily "charged" language.

Because I believe the Tablet Theory is true (for many reasons), I believe that the text of Genesis was written by eyewitnesses, all the way back to Adam, and even to God himself. There is nothing in Genesis to indicate it was a vision, or that it was dictated. And although Jewish tradition puts the other 4 books of Moses as coming from the hand of Moses, the same tradition does not ascribe Genesis to the hand of Moses. According to the Tablet Theory, God wrote the first chapter (up through the first Toledoth actually), partly to tell us what he did, but directly as the means to teach Adam and Eve language, written and spoken. Then Adam added his few chapters. Later, others added theirs. Over time, it became more of a collection of history than a language tool, which is a different reason why later contributors added more, but also due to divine guidance. If all this is true, then those letters go all the way back to the sixth day of creation, and predate all forms of writing that did not develop until after Babel. Because I believe the Tablet Theory is true, your ideas on the origin of a few of the letters become problematic to me. My understanding of Hebrew is still very rudimentary. I do not have the knowledge you have. But if the Tablet Theory is true, then you are at least partially mistaken, namely because the pictograph of the Tav originates long before Egyptian writing (which means I'm wrong if you're right). So, I have my own reasons for thinking that Hebrew is the original language, partly because after Babel, only those who still spoke Hebrew would be able to understand anything that was written, including the part of Genesis that they had up to that point in time.
I would like to see that. I've been told many times, by Jewish rabbis, that Genesis is not attributed to the hand of Moses, despite coming from him. There is nothing in the text of Genesis to indicate it was a vision given to Moses, nor that he was told what to write. All other places in scripture, visions are identified as visions, and instructions to write things are identified also. Genesis has nothing like that. All of the textual evidence that is inside of Genesis strongly suggests that it was written either by eye witnesses who saw those events take place (which Moses clearly could not) or was written by those who knew the eyewitnesses and wrote their testimonies (which Moses also could not do). All the evidence, and even Jewish tradition (according to at least a few Jewish rabbis), strongly suggests that Genesis did not originate from the hand of Moses. In fact, the internal text evidence resembles ancient clay texts, which suggests that they preceded Moses, likely coming from the ancestors, and further suggests that Moses compiled them and put them onto vellum.
@@rafaelshumaker1883 see what? I'm Jewish and have been all my life and I don't know of 1 single Jewish person( rabbis included) who will tell you B'reshis wasn't written by Moses. Conservative and Reform Jews dont believe any of it was written by one person but all of orthodoxy does.
@@rafaelshumaker1883 Judaism holds that Moses wrote B'reshis from pre-existing, well-preserved oral traditions and/or written documents from the great patriarchs. Even the authors of the NTand even Jesus himself( if he even existed at all) credited Moses as the author of B'reshis.
The emphasis on oral tradition is a sorry hang over from the neo-gnostic, Marxist influence on history and archeology. A deep study of ancient references to historical preservation of knowledge mentions weaving history into textiles, singing history in songs. Structures had stories preserved in images, and priests were supported to pass the understanding of the images down through generations. Inscriptions are very early, so it's reasonable to assume histories were written or represented on other, more perishable materials too. The idea of people being unable to preserve knowledge with stability in the important elements came along with the Marxist oppressive domination of academia.
If the research in the Jordan Valley regards an air burst (re Sodom and Gomorrah) pans out then this event happened ca 1650 BC. That event was when Abraham was 100 years old. Either the Sodom and Gomorrah thing is wrong, or this Joseph's son's alphabet ca 1850 Bc is wrong.
11:05 He's claiming there were a couple proto-Hebrew letters in the middle of an Egyptian inscription. He "confirmed" it by asking a guy who knew Hebrew but not Egyptian what he thought they were. So, a guy with a minor in hieroglyphics misread an Egyptian inscription, assumed the "Manasseh" of the inscription was the Manasseh mentioned in the bible--as if there could only be one guy by that name in ancient times--and decided he'd made a glorious discovery.
Sumerian cuneiform is 1st, Akkadian is 2nd, from Akkadian: Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic with Egyptian close behind. whoever says that Hebrew is the oldest writte language is ignorant!
Just like the religion bringing the question of sin, which does not exist outside of the human mind, and was created by religious people, the denouncement of the three scholars throwing mud on a book holding such a title, its a frame to go into a debate which sounds ..... very weak. "one day I stumbled...." on something that is a very weird approach. Studying is a slow process of back and forth between hypothesis and facts. At 10:00, the debate seems closed, its an "evidence" ..... all this is very spooky and strange, doesn't sound like serious study.
Ancient Hebrew, not to be confused with the language today, was the language God taught Adam! It was the only language on earth until the fall of the tower of Babel!
Ancient Hebrew IS the Hebrew language of Today. Modern Hebrew removed 2 verb tenses, and has added words for the stuff we have today that we didn't have in the past. Like toasters or automobiles or swear words and things like that. Just reading Torah proves this as the first people mentioned all have Hebrew names and then LATER we have people without Hebrew names.

The reaction of establishment academia is predictable if you just believe their own proclamations. Academia and the sciences worldwide is controlled by ardent zealots of the religion of Naturalism. Their approach is stated plainly by one of the High Priets of that religion, Richard Lewontin: "Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in *spite* of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in *spite* of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in *spite* of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a *prior* commitment, a *commitment* to materialism. "It is *not* that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the *contrary* , that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that *produce* material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is *absolute* , for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." (See Richard Lewontin, Billions and billions of demons (review of The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan, 1997), The New York Review, p. 31, 9 Jan 1997.) This is the approach of the National Academy of Sciences and the college and university systems throughout the world. To put it in ordinary language, Lewontin is confessing to a con job, a fraud. Need I state the obvious? What Lewontin is describing is not empiricism but a religious faith. It is the religious faith of philosophical Naturalism in practice. This practice involves the debate tactic of masking assumptions and presenting them to the world as conclusions rather than as premises. That is simply dishonest argumentation. *That* is what Petrovich is up against. Lewontin has essentially “spilled the beans” and brought the lurking beast out of the closet: the Materialist enterprise is, from beginning to end, an “apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, NO MATTER” WHAT. That materialism is “absolute.” No ground can ever be conceded to an alternate explanation under any circumstances whatsoever, no matter how strong the contrary evidence may be. It’s like the proverbial boxing match that has been fixed by the actual boxers in the ring and the boxers’ managers: the conclusion is predetermined from the start before any actual investigation has begun.
I think the teaching and discovery is great and fun, but trivial! Unfortunately, it removes faith that God created the languages and the letters that went with them. God wrote on stone tablets the commandments, did God choose to write in a form that would evolve and lose the meaning he wanted to convey? He said, he will preserve his word. He said, he cannot lie! He cannot be God if he hasn't done both! If you believe that we cannot have the word of God perfectly preserved as God would preserve it, then you lack faith in what God can do! He, God, didn't entrust it to man to preserve. Ps 138:2 his word is more important than his name! David says his word is true since the beginning. The bible proves itself all by itself. Simple fact, no one could or would write a book like the bible today. A man couldn't perfectly predict the future of individuals, nations and all of man-kind. A man wouldn't write over 700,000 words telling man that man is unrighteous and incapable of saving himself. No one could compare what really happens in the physical world to what happens in the inner man. All of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ, the very Word of God, God himself, Truth and life everlasting, the giver of. So, this study and search in the dirt is such a waste of time and will convince no one. But, Letting God be true and every man a liar will change your heart forever! Believe first that God did everything necessary for your salvation 2000 years ago on a cross, then let him change the knowledge you carry around in your fleshly mind that desires wants which bring your reward in front of man; instead of the good reward when you see souls saved and saints edified on your day of judgement!
Ofcourse Hebrew is not the oldest language. What about the Harapans of the Hindus Valley? So they've lived all around the Sarasvati river who dried up 6000 years ago, as old as 10000 years, with a river sistem of 86.000 years old. Even if Hebrew was the language of the Original Semite (5th sub-race of the Atlantean root race) the 1st Turanian (Chinese) was before them, and Toltec even older. Oh, about the language of Adam, Adamu, Adapa etc... we'll have to go back 18.6 mil years and ask "him", when the period of individualisation of mankind took place, described in Genesis as the story of Adam and Eve.

Sounds great!! But we are so pathetically bad at what you are suggesting. I’m not saying people shouldn’t TRY. Just don’t conclude because you’ve gone through that process that it demonstrates your conclusions are justified.
In most cases, people invoke the powers of their rational thinking processes to build support for the conclusions they already favor. It’s a process that mimics actual evidence-based/logically justified thinking, but may be just an exercise in self-deception.
At minimum, it’s necessary to be able to recognize logical fallacies, and to honestly assess your own susceptibility to motivated reasoning, and understand the nature of cognitive bias. Ultimately, the only reliable way of overcoming cognitive bias is by collaboration and sharing of evidence and reasoning, as in the scientific process.

He said he guessed the direction of right to left for the Ashneth inscription at 46:00 . He did not have to guess. He is right that it is from right to left because you always read Egyptian hieroglyphs in the direction that is towards the face of the animals, human faces etc. You always look into the face of the animal or human. This is standard knowlege on how to read Egyptian. The human head in the first column is facing towards the right. You will also notice that the ox head "A" (at the top) and the snake "N" (at the bottom) in the second column are also facing towards the right. Therefore you start at the right and move towards the left.
By he, of course, respectfully, you mean Dr. Petrovich. And yes, there can be no doubt that a "guess" for someone of his caliber is invariably an educated one, nor any doubt that his decision was at least in part informed by what you call "standard" knowledge.
@@thomasraywood679 I have to think that when he says "guess" he really means guess. It seems clear to me that he knows little or no ancient Egyptian or he would not have used the word guess. An expert on the language would not say this or his peers would lose faith in him. It is a bit like saying that you guess that Hebrew is written from right to left. Anyone who knows anything about Hebrew knows that it is a fact that you read from right to left. There is no guessing about it. However, saying all that, the very little ancient Egyptian that he seems to know from his admission of guessing is enough knowledge for him to do a very good job on this theory that I think looks very believable. The writing is not in ancient Egyptian anyway so he does not need to know anything about ancient Egyptian. I have picked up a book on how to learn Akkadian for PhD students takes a lot of short cuts to learning the language. A person who uses this book will have lots of big holes in their knowledge of the language compared to someone who has devoted the proper time needed for the task. I have seen other much better books on the subject that give much more information. These people have to dicipher (rather than translating) the language very quickly because they have too much else to do. Also, I notice that he called Egyptian writting "Egyptian hieroglyphics" at 1:02:00. Hieroglyphics is the adjective. Hieroglyphs is the noun. He should have said "Egyptian hieroglyphs" instead. If you key in "Which direction is ancient Egyptian written?" in Google it will tell you the answer. He needs to take on board what I have said because it will slightly strengthen his thesis.
It seems like the basis for your dismissal of this presentation is guesswork regarding the direction in which the text is to be read. But he never said that he guessed.
@@prycenewberg3976 At 48:20 onwards he says that he finds whether it goes from left to right or from right to left by "trial and error". In other words he says that he guessed until he got a sensible translation.
@@bobgriffin316 It's also possible that he meant he tested his assumption (of the correct reading following Egyptian rules) by trial and error.
If the text he was examining wasn't Egyptian, why would it have followed Egyptian rules of order?
The oldest known language is proto-Sumerian. It is a pictographic language, where symbols of common objects have translatable meanings. The earliest example is something that could have even been written by Noah himself, called the Ahora Gorge Inscription. Which when translated becomes what we know as Genesis 9:7.
wow, amazing work! thank God for your zeal!
Let's fix this title here: "Along With Many Other Ancient Collateral Semitic Language Scripts, Did the Text Developed by the Hebrews Also Evolve From the World's Oldest Proto-Pictograph Alphabet?"
You're assuming it "evolved " from "primitive " pictographs, which is folly. Pictographs and alphabet scripts have existed side by side many times in history. In the past, and still today, writing systems are conserved as part of cultural identity. Writing systems have been considered sacred since the beginning. Some change may occur in style as a way to identify some major event, but it's a decision, not so much an evolution.
Do you know of a writing system produced to represent the mental images and physical motions described in a complex language that was not, during its earliest beginnings, initially drawn out as a visual paradigm of pictographic symbols? Pictographic symbolism invariably predates the intellectually more remote abstract phonetics of abstract scripts. The abstract scripts have simply evolved beyond their much more easily recognizable pictographic beginnings to such an extent that they have become phonetically ambiguous. . @@valerieprice1745
Well you know you’ve found Truth when attacked like that!

I disagree that the Sea of Reeds was the Exodus route. Exodus 13: 17-18 says: When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea (some say Reed Sea). The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle. End of quote. This would been WAY too far away from the Philistine country to matter if they crossed the Reed sea where today is the Suez Canal. Moreover, how would crossing the Reed Sea lead them into the land of Midian? Paul plainly shows in Galatians 4:25 that Mount Sinai is in ARABIA. Northwest Arabia has been called Midian up to relatively modern times. The Israelites did not continue towards the Promised land by way of the Philistines, but as the passage quoted above says: "God led the people AROUND by the desert road toward the Red Sea" meaning AROUND the route towards the Philistines. When they eventually do enter the promised land (40 years later due to sin), they enter and cross the Jordan from the EAST towards the west far on the OTHER SIDE of the Philistines. This is because they crossed the RED Sea and not the Reed Sea.
Very good explanation. Midian is where Moses fled to after he killed the Egyptian beating the Israelite and went to Midian, where he met Zipporah and married her. Midian was a descendant of Abraham through another wife (Keturah) after Sarah had died. Genesis Chapter 25
@@Alec_Cox Yes I knew he fled to Midian 40 or so years earlier and married Zipporah etc. I did not know it was named after a descendant of Abraham. Thank-you. Beware of some of what academics like Petrovich say but instead have critical thinking from scriptures to debunk them. Petrovich in another video claimed that the Reed Sea was the crossing place and not the Red Sea as I mentioned above along with the Biblical reasons why it cannot be the Sea of Reeds. He also believes Mt. Sinai was in the Sinai peninsula and not in Midian (this was in another video) And the Bible makes clear he's also wrong when the first writing occurred. According to Jude verse 14:
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
This proves that Enoch who was taken by God before Noah was even born wrote the book we have today called the First Book of Enoch (partly preserved in the Dead Sea Scolls). The only way this could have been preserved is that it was preserved after Enoch's lifetime until the flood, and Noah and his family preserved it through the flood, thus we have it until this day. So there was written language over 500 years before the Flood, according the Bible. There is Bible fact we CAN rely on.
@@paulbriggs3072 Amen. and yes, they want to deny that Mt Sinai is in the Arabian peninsula, which is utter nonsense and absurd on many levels.
Moses fled to Midian and was herding the sheep when he was called to the Burning Bush that was on Mount Sinai. The Split rock that had water flow when Moses struck the rock is plainly seen east of Midian and Jethro came to see Moses at the actual Mt Sinai which is not in the Sinai peninsula at all... Another Catholic legend that has failed the test.

🙄Just all around poor scholarship on Douglas' part. He quotes from only parts of the bible to help support his premise, but not all because some parts do not. i.e (he quotes from Psalms to support the theory of Amenhotep II being the Pharaoh of the exodus, but not the Torah in the book of exodus that clearly states "ALL PERISHED" in the Red Sea) I wouldn't dare give the title Dr. for this man; the University of Toronto should be embarrassed!
Jesus was in the Bible since Genesis. They knew there was a redemption plan to replace Adam. Jesus also only taught about Himself from the Torah and the Prophets. We need to understand that salvation can be understood without the Gospel. As it is recorded in both Genesis and Hebrews, Abraham kept the Torah because he had faith in YHVH and it was counted unto him as righteousness. Salvation has always and only been through having faith in the coming and soon returning Jesus and repenting of breaking God's Law. 1 John 3:4 clearly explains that sin is transgression of the Law. God doesn't have different plans of Salvation for different people. It's all 1 cohesive plan and contract from Genesis to Revelation.
Pictographs then are the strongest evidence for the Tower of Babel. For at this time writing was still not wide spread because the main communication was through the power of speech.
Since everyone couldn't understand one another for a time pictures were drawn to describe what people were talking about. As time passed and man communicated more with their neighbors people began to speak each other's language and understand what their neighbors were saying.
It is no surprise that language wouldn't be widespread until the time of Alexander of Macedon who sought to unify the world through Greek culture. This was later adopted by the Romans and from them the Norse people they ruled had learned Latin, and seeing that Greek was the first language the Hebrew Scriptures were officially translated in it is no surprise why we have many Hebrew, Greek, and Latin translations which followed it.
And the Norse languages eventually changed into the modern English we have today which has a ton of Greek and Latin loan words, as well as from other languages. We are now reaching the point where virtually everyone communicates in one tongue as we did during the Tower of Babel.

There was a written language of some kind long before Egypt existed. Not consonantal necessarily, but a written language of some kind nonetheless. How do I know this? In the book of Jude chapter 1 verse 14 it says: "Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness...etc." What this tells you is that Noch who existed before the flood, before Egypt existed, before the post flood nations existed, wrote prophetic writings. This would prove that Enoch's writings not only were brought out through the flood on the ark by Noah (how else could it still exist?) but that it existed during Jesus's time and the New Testament writings. Even more convincing is the fact that fragments of the book of Enoch was found among the Dead Sea scrolls and now in the museum of the scrolls in Israel. (The Ethiopian book of Enoch matches these fragments) Whatever modern archeologists cite as the oldest, they can at best cite one of the oldest POST FLOOD languages.
The mt.ebal archeological find backs this up

Was'nt the alphabet found in Ugarit the oldest precursor of our modern alphabet. Probably a semitic input but not specifically Hebrew.
But there were earlier alphabets than the Ugarit.
This was cool
With written language being so extremely ubiquitous for everyone in all aspects of our English-speaking life today, it's hard to grasp that a written language was ever so clumsy and unapproachable.

Awesome
For those that "invented history", anything is possible.
No Hebrew is not the oldest alphabet. It appears that the Hebrew alphabet was derived from hieratic characters. There is an inscription in Hebrew language, written in hieratic on the wall of an Egyptian turquoise mine. So right now, I'd say it looks like hieratic was adapted to facilitate written proto Hebrew, somewhat before the unopposed Hyksos invasion of Egypt.
Enoch is quoted in our Bibles. Part of Enoch's writings were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
So maybe the script is even older than Douglas thinks?
The Oldest writing Script is not Hebrew of the Haberus but from the Lineage of Joktan and it is called Baybayin, a phonetic Script called the Breath of Life Scripts..The Oldest dog and c

@1:08:00... Asenath was NOT egyptian.
Gen 41:45, 50 & 46:20 say "daughter of Potipherah priest of On"...none of these verses say that she was egyptian.
Joseph married Asenath daughter of Poti-phera, and Joshua son of Nun, who was a chieftain of the tribe of Ephraim (Num. 13:8) because IF he had married an egyptian, his sons could NOT have been blessed by Jacob/continued their father's priesthood.
His brother Esau, forfeited his birthright when he married the wrong women (Gen 26:34) - Issac only agreed to give Jacob the birthright IF he married within the proper bloodline (Gen 28:1,2 & 4)

Very interesting...but why is it so important?
I have a theory that before the tower of Babel people and animals were able to communicate telepathically which would be the purest form of communication so there would be no need for writing or language. The confusion of tongues then was the advent of language and writing which is open to interpretation or confusion. Think about how many times someone has taken your text message out of context or misunderstood the nature of it. Since then our pineal glands have shrunk limiting our ability to transmit and receive brain waves
Excellent presentation.
That third word --- r b r looks wrong to me, the r looks like a d - would then spell dbr which is hebrew word, hence the translation would be House Vineyard Asenath, words engraved come to life
If Manasa was writing Hebrew, it's unwise to imagine the proto Hebrew script wasn't already in use previously. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Keep digging. They're bound to have other examples in the basement of some museum, or at other archeological sites.

The alphabet covers every sound, if you can make a sound then it can be spelled. If you can make a new sound then you've invented a new letter.
I agree but I'm the kind of man that likes balance, if it turns out Petrovich is right and this is Hebrew then so be it, but I like to see the Bible in a way that makes sense not just believe in a bunch of evangelical literalist nonsense. While it might be true that I think some atheists need a taste of spiritual reality I equally think that Christians and Jews in a large does of Bill Donahue.
Hebrew is the first Consonantal phonetic Alephbet in World history. It it also the first phonetic alephbet in world history, and believe it or not, it likely preceded Jacob going down to Egypt. Yet, since Jacob's family only numbered 70 people, finding evidence of a written record of just one small tribe would be almost impossible. When Jacob's numbers exploded during the period of slavery in Egypt, finding a written record would become more likely.
Those numbers exploded not during a period of slavery but rather a period of prosperity. Of those 430 years in Egypt only the last 100 or so were ill characterized.

@@alantasman8273 Yeah, so simple. Can't imagine what all the fuss is about, lol.
Aramaic script merged to Canaanite culture. Hebrew evolved out of Canaanite Script. "Graven Images" were not allowed in the Law of Moses, which condemns written language arts, in favor of an oral tradition where the Priests is actually the "Book of Life" as the Teacher, and the Law was written on the heart and mind, not engraved on stone. So some changes of metaphors led us to think the "Word of God" is a human invention of books, or writing , when in fact the Medium was the body of the Priest such that by the Image of God, being the Human Form, elect by the Priestly Unction or Anointing of Spirit into a human form , the man became literally "WORD OF GOD" . Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, is an original concept of how God communes through the Priest, who orally speaks the Law, and the people listen and believe. But the world went on to invent written language arts as something artificial. like computers or "A.I.". The real deal is that Jesus was born of the Spirit in Zion , circumcised by the Temple Priests and received the Korbanot of Temple Israel , to grow in wisdom and knowledge, and in Spirit, and being elect as a Nazirite Priest at age 30 , Jesus was given license by Caiaphas the High Priest to enter the Temple Israel Holy Ground and teach ORAL LAW TRADITION to the Jews. Then in mystery being put to death , rejected of Men, reduced to being like an animal where the Psalmist recites 'I am not a man, I am only a worm". So the Vessel of the Oral Speaker Tradition lain in state three days during a eight day Passover, was risen from the dead and so fully fulfilling the Law , Jesus entered the Glory ,consumed by Heaven , thus being God in singular substance of the Eternal Matter, Jesus was as ISRAEL, the First Born Son of God. Jesus is God, Whatever is in Heaven is one substance of eternal matter, not the elemental atomic particles, but the Eternal Matter, which is one substance , so that Jesus is God. 3=1 So the Word of God is a PERSON of GOD who recites the Law and interprets the relevance of the law to answer Riddles and speaks in Parables. The New Covenant said God by Jeremiah the Prophet is not by a human invention of handwriting arts but the Finger of God writes upon the tablets of their hearts. So all the metaphors are taken amiss to claim "Hebrew " as "Graven Images" but in fact it is an ORAL TRADITION and these references to books and scribes are metaphors creating for us a RIDDLE. In so far Jesus is a Nazirite in the Priesthood of Melchizedek forever , now of one substance of Heaven as is with the Father and the Spirit in Heaven, Jesus Christ is the literal WORD OF GOD.

Hebrew is not the worlds oldest alphabet. It is like saying a black person "invented" the electric light. During the Bronze age collapse whole systems of writing disappeared and the Jews were in no position to invent a new system of writing. They had to negotiate the effects of the Bronze age collapse, during which whole systems of writing disappeared. And most presentations, not all are vague on dating when the Jews left (were chased out of) Egypt.
The earliest documentation of the Hebrew script is from 1842 BC. The stone tablet, nicknamed "Sinai 115", mentioned Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Menashe - when it was claimed that the latter was the one who himself engraved the inscription on the stone.
All the types of writing you mentioned are not phonetic letters with consonants and punctuation, but writing symbols that express in the drawing a whole word and not a syllable. The ancient script developed by the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Hittites, etc, is a script of peg-like signs that express logograms, that is, signs that represent whole words rather than independent syllables. Their writing consisted of graphic drawings that represented objects in the real world: if you wanted to write 'Shor' (Bull) you drew a small bull. If you wanted to draw a Balloon it had nothing compared to and similar to 'Bull' also sounds close. It was just another drawing.
Around 1500 BC someone, whether educated scholars or ignorant slaves, decided to simplify the complex Egyptian hieroglyphics and distill it into only twenty-two letters in a systematic and general simpler way. Each letter in ancient Hebrew (Proto-Canaanite) script represented a consonantal sound like Alef , Bet, Gimel... Resh, Shin, Tsadi ..., etc. A word was composed of a collection of consonants: 'Sh.r.' Represented the word 'Shor' (Ox). The vowel letter O was marked with a score, attached to a letter, and not by a separate letter.
The ingenious simplicity of the ancient Proto-Canaanite Hebrew script fascinated many, especially the Phoenicians. The Phoenicians lived in what is now Lebanon and were a nation of seafarers: they traded with almost all neighboring peoples. The simple and efficient script was very suitable for documenting transactions and sales, and the Phoenicians adopted it - with some modifications - around 1300 BC. With the help of the Phoenicians, the Canaanite script spread throughout the Middle East and formed the basis of many types of script known today.
It should be noted that the claim is in any case, not that Hebrew is the first written language, but that it is the source of the alphabet script adopted by the peoples of the Mediterranean Basin and the peoples of ancient Europe.
In any case, the origin of the Jews is from Mesopotamia and therefore Akkadian is also part of the ancient culture of the Hebrews.
@@avikerem7426 The "Jews" didn't become Jews until they were thrown out of Egypt. More than likely they had lived side by side with other Semitic peoples, most notably the Hyksos. This amalgam of different but definitely racially related group were expelled ~ 1500 BC by native Egyptians who resented the mass immigration of animal herders that had built up over the years in the northwestern area of the Nile delta.. It was these people, through this common experience became the Jews of today. This does not mean that Noah et al did not exist, it just means they coalesced as a tight knit group in Egypt. In any case they were expelled before the Bronze Age collapse;. The most distinguishing feature of the Bronze Aged collapse(~ 1200-1150 BC) is that who ever the sea peoples were they succeeded in bin burning pretty much anything they encountered to the ground, the Egyptians were the notable exception. The Ugarits had an alphabet, but it used cuneiform like marks to form its symbol set and did not employ cuneiform in the way the Mesopotamia did. This language is attested to and even describes the last days of its existence as the place was burned to the ground. I doubt the shard of pottery is anything more than that. Although very different written characters from the Phoenician were used, linguists think there is a close connection between the two languages.To state anything outside of Egypt survived that fifty year period takes more than a shard of pottery. And the claim being made in this video is that Hebrew was the first written language; that's what alphabets are for.
Refering to the hills of Canaan
Dr William Dever: "We know today, from archeological investigation, that there were more than 300 early villages of the 13th and 12th century in the area. I call these "proto-Israelite" villages".
*This has been verified by archeologists*

Dr William Dever, an archaeologist normally associated with the more conservative end of Syro-Palestinian archaeology, has labeled the question of the historicity of Exodus “dead”. Israeli archaeologist Ze’ev Herzog provides his view on the historicity of the Exodus:[7]
The Israelites never were in Egypt. They never came from abroad. This whole chain is broken. It is not a historical one. It is a later legendary reconstruction - made in the seventh century [BCE] - of a history that never happened
We know the early Hebrews were shepherds living in the hills of Canaan. They were never in Egypt

Because I believe the Tablet Theory is true (for many reasons), I believe that the text of Genesis was written by eyewitnesses, all the way back to Adam, and even to God himself. There is nothing in Genesis to indicate it was a vision, or that it was dictated. And although Jewish tradition puts the other 4 books of Moses as coming from the hand of Moses, the same tradition does not ascribe Genesis to the hand of Moses. According to the Tablet Theory, God wrote the first chapter (up through the first Toledoth actually), partly to tell us what he did, but directly as the means to teach Adam and Eve language, written and spoken. Then Adam added his few chapters. Later, others added theirs. Over time, it became more of a collection of history than a language tool, which is a different reason why later contributors added more, but also due to divine guidance. If all this is true, then those letters go all the way back to the sixth day of creation, and predate all forms of writing that did not develop until after Babel. Because I believe the Tablet Theory is true, your ideas on the origin of a few of the letters become problematic to me. My understanding of Hebrew is still very rudimentary. I do not have the knowledge you have. But if the Tablet Theory is true, then you are at least partially mistaken, namely because the pictograph of the Tav originates long before Egyptian writing (which means I'm wrong if you're right). So, I have my own reasons for thinking that Hebrew is the original language, partly because after Babel, only those who still spoke Hebrew would be able to understand anything that was written, including the part of Genesis that they had up to that point in time.
Wrong. Jewish tradition DOES put B'reshis as being written by Mosheh.
I would like to see that. I've been told many times, by Jewish rabbis, that Genesis is not attributed to the hand of Moses, despite coming from him. There is nothing in the text of Genesis to indicate it was a vision given to Moses, nor that he was told what to write. All other places in scripture, visions are identified as visions, and instructions to write things are identified also. Genesis has nothing like that. All of the textual evidence that is inside of Genesis strongly suggests that it was written either by eye witnesses who saw those events take place (which Moses clearly could not) or was written by those who knew the eyewitnesses and wrote their testimonies (which Moses also could not do). All the evidence, and even Jewish tradition (according to at least a few Jewish rabbis), strongly suggests that Genesis did not originate from the hand of Moses. In fact, the internal text evidence resembles ancient clay texts, which suggests that they preceded Moses, likely coming from the ancestors, and further suggests that Moses compiled them and put them onto vellum.
@@rafaelshumaker1883 see what? I'm Jewish and have been all my life and I don't know of 1 single Jewish person( rabbis included) who will tell you B'reshis wasn't written by Moses.
Conservative and Reform Jews dont believe any of it was written by one person but all of orthodoxy does.
@@rafaelshumaker1883 1 example: Rabbi Ibn Erza from the 12th century. I could go on forever.
@@rafaelshumaker1883 Judaism holds that Moses wrote B'reshis from pre-existing, well-preserved oral traditions and/or written documents from the great patriarchs.
Even the authors of the NTand even Jesus himself( if he even existed at all) credited Moses as the author of B'reshis.
The emphasis on oral tradition is a sorry hang over from the neo-gnostic, Marxist influence on history and archeology. A deep study of ancient references to historical preservation of knowledge mentions weaving history into textiles, singing history in songs. Structures had stories preserved in images, and priests were supported to pass the understanding of the images down through generations. Inscriptions are very early, so it's reasonable to assume histories were written or represented on other, more perishable materials too. The idea of people being unable to preserve knowledge with stability in the important elements came along with the Marxist oppressive domination of academia.
If the research in the Jordan Valley regards an air burst (re Sodom and Gomorrah) pans out then this event happened ca 1650 BC. That event was when Abraham was 100 years old. Either the Sodom and Gomorrah thing is wrong, or this Joseph's son's alphabet ca 1850 Bc is wrong.

He sounds confused. Not buying it.
11:05 He's claiming there were a couple proto-Hebrew letters in the middle of an Egyptian inscription. He "confirmed" it by asking a guy who knew Hebrew but not Egyptian what he thought they were. So, a guy with a minor in hieroglyphics misread an Egyptian inscription, assumed the "Manasseh" of the inscription was the Manasseh mentioned in the bible--as if there could only be one guy by that name in ancient times--and decided he'd made a glorious discovery.
Sumerian cuneiform is 1st,
Akkadian is 2nd, from Akkadian: Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic with Egyptian close behind. whoever says that Hebrew is the oldest writte language is ignorant!
Just like the religion bringing the question of sin, which does not exist outside of the human mind, and was created by religious people, the denouncement of the three scholars throwing mud on a book holding such a title, its a frame to go into a debate which sounds ..... very weak.

At 10:00, the debate seems closed, its an "evidence" ..... all this is very spooky and strange, doesn't sound like serious study.
Ancient Hebrew, not to be confused with the language today, was the language God taught Adam! It was the only language on earth until the fall of the tower of Babel!
Ancient Hebrew IS the Hebrew language of Today.
Modern Hebrew removed 2 verb tenses, and has added words for the stuff we have today that we didn't have in the past. Like toasters or automobiles or swear words and things like that.
Just reading Torah proves this as the first people mentioned all have Hebrew names and then LATER we have people without Hebrew names.

The reaction of establishment academia is predictable if you just believe their own proclamations. Academia and the sciences worldwide is controlled by ardent zealots of the religion of Naturalism. Their approach is stated plainly by one of the High Priets of that religion, Richard Lewontin:
"Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in *spite* of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in *spite* of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in *spite* of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a *prior* commitment, a *commitment* to materialism.
"It is *not* that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the *contrary* , that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that *produce* material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is *absolute* , for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." (See Richard Lewontin, Billions and billions of demons (review of The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan, 1997), The New York Review, p. 31, 9 Jan 1997.)
This is the approach of the National Academy of Sciences and the college and university systems throughout the world.
To put it in ordinary language, Lewontin is confessing to a con job, a fraud.
Need I state the obvious? What Lewontin is describing is not empiricism but a religious faith. It is the religious faith of philosophical Naturalism in practice. This practice involves the debate tactic of masking assumptions and presenting them to the world as conclusions rather than as premises. That is simply dishonest argumentation. *That* is what Petrovich is up against.
Lewontin has essentially “spilled the beans” and brought the lurking beast out of the closet: the Materialist enterprise is, from beginning to end, an “apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, NO MATTER” WHAT. That materialism is “absolute.” No ground can ever be conceded to an alternate explanation under any circumstances whatsoever, no matter how strong the contrary evidence may be. It’s like the proverbial boxing match that has been fixed by the actual boxers in the ring and the boxers’ managers: the conclusion is predetermined from the start before any actual investigation has begun.

I think the teaching and discovery is great and fun, but trivial! Unfortunately, it removes faith that God created the languages and the letters that went with them. God wrote on stone tablets the commandments, did God choose to write in a form that would evolve and lose the meaning he wanted to convey? He said, he will preserve his word. He said, he cannot lie! He cannot be God if he hasn't done both! If you believe that we cannot have the word of God perfectly preserved as God would preserve it, then you lack faith in what God can do! He, God, didn't entrust it to man to preserve. Ps 138:2 his word is more important than his name! David says his word is true since the beginning. The bible proves itself all by itself. Simple fact, no one could or would write a book like the bible today. A man couldn't perfectly predict the future of individuals, nations and all of man-kind. A man wouldn't write over 700,000 words telling man that man is unrighteous and incapable of saving himself. No one could compare what really happens in the physical world to what happens in the inner man. All of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ, the very Word of God, God himself, Truth and life everlasting, the giver of. So, this study and search in the dirt is such a waste of time and will convince no one. But, Letting God be true and every man a liar will change your heart forever! Believe first that God did everything necessary for your salvation 2000 years ago on a cross, then let him change the knowledge you carry around in your fleshly mind that desires wants which bring your reward in front of man; instead of the good reward when you see souls saved and saints edified on your day of judgement!
Ofcourse Hebrew is not the oldest language. What about the Harapans of the Hindus Valley? So they've lived all around the Sarasvati river who dried up 6000 years ago, as old as 10000 years, with a river sistem of 86.000 years old. Even if Hebrew was the language of the Original Semite (5th sub-race of the Atlantean root race) the 1st Turanian (Chinese) was before them, and Toltec even older. Oh, about the language of Adam, Adamu, Adapa etc... we'll have to go back 18.6 mil years and ask "him", when the period of individualisation of mankind took place, described in Genesis as the story of Adam and Eve.
