Lecture at the SHANKRA FESTIVAL 2018, 10 - 15 July 2018
LOSTALLO, Switzerland (CH)
SHANKRA FESTIVAL WEBSITE
Description:
The lecture
will present a panoramic view of the results of the most recent findings in
archaeology and textual biblical researches on the Old Testament, alleged
history of the people of Israel and Judah and compilation of myths narrated in
the text as historical events.
In the last
20 years, prestigious researchers from many institutions as Tel Aviv
University, Collége de France, Universitè de Genève or even Hebrew theological
universities, has demonstrated, using the many details and mentions of the
Bible, the unhistorical contents of the main books of the biblical composition
and the large cloning of mesopotamian texts, laws and myths, with any
probability, during the late time of the exile in Babylon after the 586 b.C.
No hebraism
or people of Israel in Egypt ever existed, nor Abraham or Moses, nor Exodus. No
12 tribes of Israel, nor huge kingdoms of David and Salomon never appeared in
history. And the monotheism, that revolution in faith that generated other two
of the most important religions of the modern world, appears to be a late
innovation applied to a deity, Yahweh, taken straight from the pagan pantheon
of the Near East. Yahweh, that once also had a feminine companion, Ashera, and
a father deity.
From these
studies is then coming a whole revolution on the religious view of monotheistic
religions, with a clear identification of their main political and social aims
of control and identity, coming originally from a small mountain kingdom with
Jerusalem as his center.
