thier wizards smote enemy armies with interest rates until Rome.

None of your first four are true, OP. I'm not sure about the last two, but that's probably wrong just with your previous track record.
Oliver Russell
>no literature
>>no art
Is this a new meme?
They were a high civ, of course they had science, architecture, art, philosophy and literature but all that is lost forever
All you dumbs think that only greeks had philosophy, art, realistic portraits and literature
Cameron Rogers
>no trade
Simply wrong, Hathor was one hell of a big city for example, they traded with the central Mediterranean too
>no expansion
?
>no literature
They had writing and inspired the most important book in history
>no art
False... they had clay statuettes and some metal trinkets and figurines
>only fought defensive wars
No... they expanded too towards Palestine for instance, fought against Hittites
>the way the fought wars is a mystery
Swords, lances, arrows, camel riders
Brayden Nguyen
>Against Hittites
Meant against Philistines (and against other Canaanites)
Logan Rodriguez
Also I meant Hazor, not Hathor

About Hazor in modern day Israel:
In 2010, a clay tablet was discovered dating from the 18th or 17th centuries BC inscribed with laws in the style of Hammurabi's Code. The document includes laws pertaining to body parts and damages, similar to laws such as "an eye for an eye" that appear in the Book of Exodus. The document is written in Akkadian cuneiform, the diplomatic language of the period
Jaxson Lee
>Hazor
yeah, and it also wasn't jewish, like most of palestine actually was never jewish.
Caleb Gutierrez
It's in the area posted by OP he didn't specify they had to be Jewish
Michael Fisher
He is just a retard /pol/tard

They're a major trade crossroads.
Samuel Torres
They're also false.
The attacked the Canaanites in the Promised Land to clear them all out.
And God was with them, so their victories were not a mystery to anyone nearby, or anyone reading about them. When God fights for you, you win. When God does not fight for you, you take your chances.

King Herod has become known among the archaeologists as Herod the Builder, and under his reign Judaea experienced an unprecedented construction, still obtaining an impact on the landscape of the region. Under his enterprise, such projects as theMasadafortress, theHerodionand the great port ofCaesarea Maritimawere built.
Elijah Flores
>no literature
Kys faggot
Hunter Gonzalez
Kind Herod was the Stalin of the Jews, brutal oppressor but he built a lot of important shit and dragged a bunched of savage goat fuckers into civilization.
With that said, shit like kings David and Solomon are literally just Jews LARPing, they were some shitty tribal warlords at best.
Ian Murphy
>no art
why the fuck do I see so people claiming X or Y "had no art"
literally no culture past or present lacked art
even stone-age primitives do their best to craft jewelry or sculptures or paint on cave walls with whatever they can use, never mind settled people who have temples and homes to decorate
Matthew Sanders
It was literally illegal to make graven images
Asher Flores
Even stone age primitives had better art than iron age jews.
Brody Rodriguez
wow, that is so edgy
Oliver Diaz
t. mad jew
truth hurts Schlomo
Christopher White
The entire fucking plot of the Old Testament is about how no Israelite ever listened to the priests' autistic screeching, never mind how other societies treated that sort of rule.
Joshua Lewis
They were too busy in europe trying to undermine the countries there until they got expelled. It's not the politically correct version but its the truth.
Colton Campbell
>no trade
THIS IS FALSE . EILAT HAS BEEN A PROSPEROUS JUDEAN TRADING PORT , AND CONTINUES TO BE THIS DAY .
>no expansion
THIS IS FALSE . OUR ANCESTORS CONQUERED AND CLEANSED THE AREA OF CHILD SACRIFICERS
>no literature
HAVE YOU NEVER READ THE TORAH ?
>no art
WHERE DO YOU THINK ART CAME FROM ?
>only fought defensive wars
THIS IS FALSE .
>the way they fought those wars is a mystery
NO IT'S NOT . READ THE TORAH .
Brody Gutierrez
