Every
horizontal Red-Violet line represents 1000 years so you can tell
at-a-glance that the ancestors of Palestinians (and other Arabs) had
not only been IN the “hood” long before Hebrews arrived, —but
they had already finished building a CITY six thousand years before
Abraham was born. 6000 years—that’s three times longer
than from now to the birth of Christ.

The
Hebrews were latecomers to the Middle East. By the time
Abraham was born, civilizations were in-progress throughout the
Middle East, Africa, China, The Hebrews were so late on the
scene that by the time they arrived, even the Europeans were
becoming a bit civilized. The Hebrews were too unimportant to
be mentioned in any other country’s history until years later.

claims are MORE ancient, they lose by at least 6000 years.
