      I don’t know who you are, where you live, or what you do for work, but if you talk crap about the quality copper ingots of Ea-nāṣir, I’m gonna whip your ass. That stuff is dope!

      Or is there something else to say about that time?

            And the God of Abraham was El. There is historical evidence of the conquests of Canaan which placed them around 1400 BCE.

            In the Bronze Age.

            There’s also a later period with another round of conquests and sackings in ~1250 BC that oh-so-coincidentally coincides with the infamous Sea Peoples.

            There’s obviously a lot that isn’t true in the Biblical accounts but the general time period is confirmed archaeologically for when the hillbilly Israelites conquered at least some of the coastal Canaanites.

            (Their cities didn’t have walls, which is interesting)

            (Also it wasn’t a purge, the “Canaanites” for a certain value of the term were doing fine in Alexander’s time)
