59: From the book: STORY OF THE GREATEST LIES 4
There is a hypothesis according to which Abraham from the city of Ur was a Sumer. He may have been a Semitic (Akkadian or Chaldean) on the maternal side, and on the paternal side, possibly Sumerian. Whether there was a real Abraham or his prototype, we are unlikely to ever know. The ancestors of the Jews who moved to Canaan mixed with the local population and became a single people - the Jews. Apparently, the myths borrowed from the Sumerian-Akkadian culture, characteristic of the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, were reflected in the Jewish Torah. The creation of man, the worldwide flood, the legend of Paradise, the progenitor Noah, the Tower of Babel, the miraculous salvation of the child Moses, sent in a basket along the river and saved by the daughter of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
The Lord God Himself appears to Abraham and offers to accept a new faith in the One God, and in return promises to make his descendants a chosen people, "as numerous as the sand of the sea." An offer that cannot be refused, and Abraham, according to the instructions, moves to a new place, Canaan.
The conquest, but rather the settlement of territories in Canaan by nomadic Semitic tribes, dates back to the 12th century BC. Upland terraces overgrown with grasses made it possible to graze livestock. Gradually, the nomads moved to a sedentary life, growing grain crops, mastering the culture of agriculture.
