How did the Israelites conquer Canaan with such limited resources? A settled Levantine population would have been well equipped with armor, chariots, and weapons. The only weapons mentioned in the Bible for Joshua's soldiers are swords.

Canaanites had to deal with Philistines, Egyptians trying to retake them, and other shitters

I've heard rumors that the philistines in the Bible might be Greeks/Minoans. Is this true?

silly question. If you've read Joshua then you'd know that they had God on their side. As long as the enemy didn't have iron chariots where specified they were fine.

yeah it's pretty much confirmed by early iron age pottery remains that are Mycenaean in style. I couldn't tell you how this conclusion was reached but they're believed to have been locally produced, not from trade.

They were Mycenaean survivors from the Bronze Age Collapse who took part in the later invasions of the Sea Peoples and ended up in the Levant.

The Israelites were Canaanites.

As we know, early bronze is more effective than early iron, it just requires a more extensive trade network.

And it's not likely that they conquered them all at once. That's how they wrote it down.

*Hebrews who were actually well trained Egyptian Mercs and were the highest in demand for contract killing.

Canaan was literally full of petty kinglets whose kingdomes are the size of a modern US county or some shit.

Most likely they were Cypriots, somewhat mixed with Myceneans

By chemical analysis of the clay

*egyptian vassals
when the supposed conquest happened Egypt controlled Canaan, yet said nothing and did nothing about some outside group attacking their vassals.

They didn't. The Israelites were just hill people who filled in the power vacuum left behind after the Canaanite cities collapsed during the end of the Bronze Age.

this

But they were hill people with bronze weapons who successfully took over an iron-age settlement

The Israelites didn't conquer the Canaanites, the Israelites were the Canaanites.

Bronze weapons are not in any way inferior to early iron weapons

There were already Hebrews settled in Canaan back then

And Israelites weren't so sucessful they merily took the high plateau, it took several centuries before Israel became a somewhat purely Israelite land

This. There's no evidence of the exodus or of jews in Egypt during the bronze age. The jews were just Canaanites that started worshipping one God, then later said that was the only God.

we are gods chosen people user

Retard

God.

The Spirit of the Living God is stronger than chariots and armour obviously.

How is this even a question?

>we

But you arent related those peoplw, retard

You dont even have their genes


Fuckknh germanics/slavic are so pathetic

Now we have this pale skinned fucks claiming they are hebrews

Does biblical forced fun times erotica exist?

"Hebrew" comes from "Habiru", meaning "mercenary". Israel was literally a giant army on the march that just happened to have kids and women with them.

YHWH

...

If you read the bible, you will realize that every city they conquered fought alone. Canaanite cities did not help each other. No "great canaan army" rose to defend the land.

God did it.

They were at the very least Hellenized.

Nope.

Nope.

Canaanites come from Ham, son of Noah, and the Hebrews and Arabs come from Shem, son of Noah.

Literally massive amounts of evidence that you don't want to see.

Nope. Hebrew means "crossing over".

And each trembled in fear as the Hebrews looked their way. Even mighty Jericho.

>People are literally still worshipping the Murder-your-people-and-steal-your-land-god in fucking 2017

Patiently waiting for this meme to end desu

Got an eternity?

Oh, wait, you do. And you're going to spend it on the losing team?

No, but they were Hellenized
