The archaeologists said they aren't sure who was worshipped at the complex, though Baal, the Canaanite storm god, is a possibility. "The letters of Ugarit [an ancient site in modern-day Syria] suggest that of the Canaanite pantheon, Baal, the Canaanite storm god, would have been the most likely candidate," Itzhaq Shai, a professor at Ariel University who is directing a research project at Tel Burna, told Live Science in an email.
The researchers said they can't rule out that a female deity, such as the ancient war goddess Anat, was worshipped there, Shai said.
The artifacts include fragments of two masks. "The burna mask fragments, both of noses, are quite interesting, because they are quite large, although as seen in [a photo], they were clearly meant to be worn," Shai said.
There are Europeans on Sup Forums right now who worship the Hebraic-Greek pagan agglomerate religion that is Christianity.
Owen Bailey
The hidden message from the book of revelation is that the hebrew, greek and babylonian gods are all the same. Baal just pretty much means lord. So yeah, it's all BS.

Why would they wear big noses?
Is a big nose a sign of beauty, or power among Jews? Or were they trying to imitate someone, perhaps a big nosed leader? Or perhaps they believes having a big nose warded off evil spirits? So many possibilities, this needs sniffing out.

The Canaanites were polytheists, the Jews were never polytheists, Judaism is a monotheistic offshoot of the religion of the Canaanites. The Jews claim Yahweh is the one true God and all the other gods of the Canaanite pantheon (and all other pagan gods) are false.
Obviously Yahweh is derived from a pagan pantheon, but the Jews see him as the only true deity, they see the Canaanites as misled into wrongly adopting false pagan gods alongside Yahweh. This is why the Jews were always at odds with the Canaanites, they worshiped the one true God Yahweh alongside other false gods.
None of this debunks Judaism, the Jews are aware of the origins of their religion and how it stems from the polytheistic religion of the Canaanites, they consider Abraham to be the first guy who became aware of the fact that Yahweh was the only real God and all the others of the pantheon were false.

Yes, that's right. Kek/kuk/keku is the "god of darkness and obscurity" of the Ogdoad, Keket is his wife, embodied in the form of a snake.
Adam Wilson
It always struck me as weird that in the old testament, the way they phrasing is when referring to God and such, makes it seem like Jews worship *their god*, and seems to imply that there are other gods out there, but that Yahweh is THEIR particular god. Could just be the way it's translated from hebrew though, but I always got the impression reading the bible that the jews didn't necessarily think there was ONLY their god, but that none of the other deities out there were theirs.
Kinda reminds of me like hinduism and shit, where individual villages have their own patron gods and such.
Carson Morris

Robert Perry
Jews were conquered by the Greeks, "Jehovah" has philological and thematic similarities as a lightning-god to Jupiter/Zeus/Deus Pater/Dyaus Pita of the Indo-Iranian Vedic tradition.
So Hellenic paganism is confirmed for the one true religion

Samuel Morris
In the Old Testament the "other gods" are only really mentioned because each tribe did have their own representative god or gods that they worshiped. One of the key (if not THE defining feature) of Judaism is monotheism, as in they acknowledged only Yahweh and saw all other gods not only as inferior but entirely non-existent, or simply demons pretending to be gods that have misled the masses into worshiping them. These non-existent gods are never, in the Old Testament, made manifest or seen actually having influence over the world, you will see plenty of mention of "other gods" in the Old Testament simply because the Jews were surrounded by pagans who did honestly believe their gods were real, the Jews believed otherwise however and saw them as foolish.
It was a defining characteristic of the Jews to insist that only "their God" was real, the other pagan tribes in the area were in the mindset that there were many real gods of many tribes; they believed in their own respective gods, but also believed other tribes had other real gods reigning over them as well. The Jews just said "nah, you guys are fucking idiots worshiping some powerless pile of rocks in the desert, your god doesn't even exist."
Anyone claiming that the Jews themselves were ever polytheistic are simply false, their religion can essentially be summed up as a monotheistic "Yahweh cult" that stemmed from the ancient Canaanite religion.

Yhwh means "I am". So they were in essence calling themselves God. Imagine living in ancient times and you meet a jew and ask him "Who is your god?" and he responds "I am".

Tell me more about the early Israelites senpai, were they actually escaped slaves from Egypt and did they exist before being slaves in Egypt?
Evan Wood
they were never slaves in Egypt
Egypt controlled much of the land of Canaan in ~1200BC and the Exodus fable may be a distant memory of this
Yahwistic monotheism wasn't a thing until after the Babylonian Exile
The earlier texts all imply henotheism and worship of ancestor gods (and Yahweh's consort Asherah/Ashtaroth).
Cooper Brooks

This is why the Jews were always at odds with the Canaanites, they worshiped the one true God Yahweh alongside other false gods. It's not what happened if we go by the book.
>they consider Abraham to be the first guy who became aware of the fact that Yahweh was the only real God and all the others of the pantheon were false. Abraham was not a canaanite. He was from Ur which was in Iraq. He didn't even know God's name.
Andrew Morgan
>Yahwistic monotheism wasn't a thing until after the Babylonian Exile I've heard this before but have never come across any reliable source that proves it, or even a reliable text that mentions it, I'm becoming unconvinced with the theory. If you could point me towards a good source I'd look into it, but I have yet to find one personally.
And there was definitely Asherah worship in Israel (even during the Monarchic period) but it was not "mainstream" Judaism, she was not worshiped or even mentioned in the temple. Asherah was more like a Jewish folk figure, and at most Asherah worshipers could be considered cultists, they were definitely seen as "unorthodox" by the mainstream Jewish community in Israel.
Andrew Bell
The very beginning tells you that the "elohim" came down. That is a gang of angels. The elohim revealed themselves to abraham. They said "should we show him what we do?".
Camden Davis
>That is a gang of angels >They said "should we show him what we do?" What the hell is this? Are you sure it's Genesis?
Jacob Lopez
>It's not what happened if we go by the book. Well it depends whether you read a history book or the Old Testament. History books suggest Jews were a monotheistic offshoot of the Canaanite religion, full stop.
The God that spoke to Abraham was Yahweh, of the Canaanite pantheon. Even if Abraham knew nothing of the Canaanite faith he was contacted by a supposed figure from it, and this figure goes on to say that there are no other gods. It's pretty much indisputable fact that the Canaanites worshiped a "Yahweh" who had nearly identical characteristics to the "Jewish Yahweh", the only real difference is that the Canaanites worshiped Yahweh in a pantheon and the Jews worshiped Yahweh alone (and developed into a wholly different religion as a result).
Adam Rivera
read the Hebrew Old Testament with an understanding of the Documentary Hypothesis. All the universalist bullshit is post-exilic, all the henotheism is pre-exilic
Also try reading Robert (((Friedman)))'s book Who Wrote The Bible?
Gavin Cook
And of course the Canaanites did not ONLY worship Yahweh, which is why the Jews (among other reasons) did not like them.
Gavin Bailey
Its evidenced in part by how the use of language for god changes between the pre-exile yahwist and Elohist writers and the post-exile Priestley writer
Christian Richardson
Also, bear in mind that the authorship of the Deuteronomistic History is aristocratic and partial to the Yahweh cult. The average citizen of the 'kingdom' worshipped an ancestor god, one of the various Ba'als, and Asherah. You can see them slip these facts in in the stories of David, Rachel and Laban, and Gideon in particular, but there are many others.
Yahweh will contend for Yahweh, Chemosh will contend for Chemosh.
Wyatt Rodriguez
I don't remember exactly where it's at. The different names in the bible are different beings pretty much. Take for example moloch. In hebrew the spelling would be mlch. That is also the same as melech (mlch) which means king. So melchizadek would be moloch of peace. The entire book is that of a gang of trickster beings.
Blake Ramirez

Dylan Turner
It's feature of the semitic languages. They don't have vowels. Doesn't mean tjat everyone can be one or another. There are ways to distinguish them.
To other anons. Documentary hypothesis is a hypothesis. It's not a fact. There are other equally sound hypotheses.
Zachary Ward
Ba'al is the same way, it just means 'lord' but as Hebrew religion began to forge its own path, it got expunged from the texts except in a negative way
Ishba'al became Ishbosheth
Meriba'al became Mephibosheth
bosheth = shame
Noah Gray
There are no other 'equally sound' hypotheses. Documentary hypothesis has by far the most explanatory power.
Jackson Reed
The thing is, is I met a being by the name of I think samael and some other beings. It was the creepiest shit I've ever experienced and I know they're servants to a being called sabaoth. None of them are god. You're better off to believe in the galaxy we live in as God than those bullshitting angels. I was christian before that experience but now I completely think it's all garbage. Like the biggest let down of my life.

The documentary hypothesis has its fair share of holes, when working out history it's best to not leap upon a single "hypothesis" as 100% correct, because it's almost certain to be at least partially false. Almost all interpretations of history are partially false, usually they're almost entirely false, so try to keep the documentary hypothesis together with other hypotheses and their critiques in mind.

All hard evidence points away from the Jews being enslaved. In fact, evidence suggests the Jews may have been the ruling class in Egypt for a while, before they were kicked out.
Only the Jewish holy books say that they were slaves.

true. probably the real reason pork is forbidden, too much like human flesh.
also, they still assert it is ok for them to do so, as long as they obey the rules like a autist. talmud allows you to deliver them to destruction as long as you don't cause it to happen, or vice versa. they think they can outlawyer and defeat God.
Lincoln Brooks
There are some modern African languages that don't have words for numbers, they just have "many", "few" or "none", there is no precision.
Most languages in the history of mankind are fucking terrible, they evolve out of necessity, not logic. Semites just didn't seem to "need" vowels.
Lincoln Richardson
This is admittedly going off topic. Which language or languages have the most precision and logic?
akhenatan was a egyptian pharaoh who tried to reform the egyptian religion from polytheism into monotheism. the population rejected this and shortly after his death his cult was disbanded and his temples destroyed
its possible one of his priests escaped egypt and the cult survived evolving into judaism/christianity.
