The northern peoples were colonizing (Lower Egypt) the north of Egypt where the first Pharaoh Narmer came from. Phoenicians and even Greeks had their colonies in Goshen as well early in history. Remember Mycenaean had Hieroglyphs too. The Egyptians and the Greeks have a long history, When Alexander came to Egypt after he defeated Darius the first time around at the Battle of Issus, the Egyptians considered it liberation from the northerners since Cambyses who used cats on shields to deter the Egyptians from shooting arrows or throwing missiles, as the Greeks were old friends (Zues-Amon). The account in the scriptures is using what was known and understood about the northerners like Abraham going south, way way way before, there was ever a Moses, let alone after. The north and the south of the middle east continue to be at odds with each other and always will.

Why the traditions in the bible are not accurate, is because they had to retell history in a form that came from the one God, instead of having Gods that had sex with other Gods to have more Gods as a way to explain things. Polytheism was kinds messy and the Jewish bible even if it's a lie from the start to teach their own people (because it was meant only for them but was translated by Greeks out of their hands) to not believe in other Gods and the other cultures that surrounded them were all polytheistic.

That is why the Ten Commandments. Because the ancient ancestors of the Jewish people were polytheistic and the reaction was to fix it with the education you would receive from the bible and it's stories that have been being told in many different ways, like the Noah story only that now it is their lineage and their one God.

The thing about Greeks is they have a long history of having atheist/agnostic peoples who did not believe in the many temples and Gods and in some of the traditional stories they express the notions through characters that portray a God vs Humans mentality and had secular teachings making for philosophies such as Stoicism and Epicureans. They were very intelligent and questioned the traditions of the Jews leading to apostasy through the Maccabees leading into Christianity, because Jews felt oppressed by their ultra conservative ways and started to question much of their own leadership and temple, much like Jesus did.

Famous stories such as the Fall of Man and the Great Flood were originally conceived and written down in Sumer, translated and modified later in Babylon, and reworked by the Assyrians before they were used by the Hebrew scribes for the versions which appear in the Bible. Although the basic paradigm of the biblical narratives and the Mesopotamian stories align closely, there are still significant differences as noted by scholars.

There has been a continuity to spirituality that goes back so deep and far it predates written language. Changes have happened along the way. Apocolypse/Revolations.

The Creator is the concept. The spark of life that keeps going through birth of new life, but are mortal, and every time one is born, they know nothing and are vulnerable. Need to be taught to learn. What we are presented with is all the data we would know, until more data is presented. So far, the temple is you and God lives within you and you are much more valuable and wiser than the beasts of nature.

The 21 grams experiment refers to a scientific study published in 1907 by Duncan MacDougall, a physician from Haverhill, Massachusetts. MacDougall hypothesized that souls have physical weight, and attempted to measure the mass lost by a human when the soul departed the body. MacDougall attempted to measure the mass change of six patients at the moment of death. One of the six subjects lost three-quarters of an ounce (21.3 grams).

All along the bibles traditions like Solomon who was the Jedidiah (Beloved of God) and still fell, so to speak, when he started to build temples to other Gods to favor his foreign wives. The traditions carry truth in them but are written in the later way of the traditions of traditions like Aboriginal stories about kangaroos dancing with tribesmen around fires that were invented to teach and before Herodotus which marks a kind of milestone for historic writings in how they are written as more direct accounts than those older traditions that were being passed down from the deeper ancient history.

The bible is true in its metaphoric way as it lines up with actual history but differs in timeline and context because of the need to re-explain creation all the way up to the point of their time because of the other polytheistic explanations that were complete nonsense. The Jewish explanations were and still are very intelligent and wise and written still before Herodotus. It cleaned things up and gave room for secular teaching, that pretty much end up with God being behind it all. For example the water cycle is in the bible. They knew back then rivers go out to sea and are birth up high in the mountains. That's why they saw the flowing rivers as being holy. Instead of the scientific explanation that comes later on by some french guy in 1700;s, the bible already explains it but says it is the hand of God.
