Archaeologists: There are too many camels in the Bible, out of time and out of place

[Xolodno]

63. There is a lot of embelishment within and outside of the Bible.

We know King David existed due to a Hittite King recording a victory over the "House of David". The story of David vs. Goliath could very well be true and be about a young David beating someone with Giant-ism, who probably sucked at battle but was a good Psychological "device".

But it is known that Goliath was not wearing Bronze Armor as it didn't exist then and as its detailed in the story...physically impossible to carry. But the story was re-written around the time of the Greek occupation....who just so happened to wear, bronze armor. So it was rewritten for propaganda purposes to spur the population to revolt...hey if David could be this "bad ass giant in bronze armor...."

Likewise Josephus wrote the account of the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans.....and Jerusalem sure didn't have white marble pillars as he stated. But, if a Roman General is to have any "clout"...they need to exaggerate the difficulty and glory of the conquest....and thus its entered into the "record" that Jerusalem was much more "extravagant" than it really was.

Shoot, for all we know, Greek Mythology (or any really) could be based on actual events...but was embellished and exaggerated over time.

Plus lets not forget, the Old Testament was supposed to be a moral and legal guide in one part. In the other, justify the politics at the time (See Saul vs. Goliath). All the while uniting the people in culture and in faith.
