Very good! I love it when we can fill in gaps in our understanding of the past. Elephantine Island is delightful. I stayed there without knowing what a remarkable trove of papyrus treasures it had been. Thank you, Dr. Leper for collaborating persistently and patiently across oceans to assemble this resource in a meaningful way. Also, since disregard and deconstruction of the Bible is a common approach of archeologists and historians, I am encouraged that Dr. Leper is able point to a positive correlation. This makes me trust her objectivity. Thank you, Getty Villa, for this great lecture!

She says that these papyri are an extra-Biblical confirmation of the historicity of Jeremiah 41-44 and 2 Kings 25. Most of these papyri are in Aramaic and can be dated to the era of the diaspora.

I am very grateful for these type of conferences being offered via KZitem. I am currently writing a historical fiction book, and this and other videos are helping me understand how Egyptian life was, and how this civilization connected to others culturally and through trade. I learned in another video that the Nabateans spoke Aramaic and that they controlled the Western Sahara and the Palestinian peninsula back when Elephantine was also a great commerce hub. This brings to my mind all sorts of connections to the African kingdoms, and a whole world now lost to us after the libraries of the ancient world were mostly lost and/or burnt. Thank you for bringing this event to this platform. I am looking forward to more events.

Hmmm, very interesting to see all these ppl living somewhat in harmony, while having different gods. More surprisingly, the jews that seem to not have knowledge of the strict observance of the Torah. It says NOT to build any Temple outside of Jerusalem, but to see them build one to Yahu and that the jews in Jerusalem helped to fund it, shows there was either: no Torah, or no strict observance of it.

Or maybe the Torah was corrupted and things where added to enforce a agenda
