Archaeology and the Biblical Balaam

In The Wilderness〚 Archaeology and the Biblical Balaam 〛Pentateuch: A New Look
In the 1960s, working under the auspices of the University of Leiden, the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research sponsored several seasons of archaeological work. The site is 8 km east of the Jordan River and 1 km north of Jabbok at a place called Deir 'Allah. In 1967, toward the end of the season, an inscription was discovered in a multi-chambered structure upon a wall. The inscription was painted in red and black ink upon plaster. Part of the inscription was intact on the wall, but archaeologists also found 119 pieces of painted plaster on the floor. This inscription at Deir 'Allah is designated "Kanaanäische und Aramäische Inscriften (KAI) 312. It tells the story of a "seer of the gods" who has night visions from El. His name is Balaam son of Beor. Is this the same Balaam of Biblical fame?

It’s not uncommon for rivers to shift throughout history - we see this with other rivers that are mentioned in the text / just a thought :) shalom

Uh, the quran is not divinely inspired, it actually is nothing more than ripped off stories from Talmud, Persian mythology and Gnostic writings. To say "he is mentioned in quran" is like saying "Well, this article was in this newspaper 26 years ago with this guy's name and this new newspaper mentions that guy's name, so this newspaper is as relevant and legitimate as the previous one, even though everything in the article is wrong, but by golly, that guy's name is in it, so it must be true".
Historically, the quran came 200 years after mohammad and was not written as its own book, rather it is formulated from the sunnah and hadiths.
By you saying that, you legitimized the antichrist false prophet who never received anything from "allah". He denies the Father and the Son, and He denies that Christ is come in the flesh and according to John, those are the two criteria of the antichrist. And the false prophet shall arise and deceive many and if you hear he is in the desert, do not go forth.
