    So in short, does the evidence linked mean that Jewish history and origin don’t align sith the Bible? Shocker. As if anything in there shouldn’t be taken with a bucketful of salt.

      It’s more the opposite.

      That the mythologized history in the Bible does check out to a surprising degree for a LBA/Iron Age tribal ancestral origin of many Jews alive today.

      The problem is it’s not for the Israelites and Judah, and that’s what’s going to be the very controversial part.

        So… the origin aligns with the bible, but what happened after that, doesn’t? Sorry if I’m being annoying, I’m still a bit sleepy and trying to make sense of this.
