Also heard the claim there’s no historical record of the biblical king David’s existence. At least not from any other neighbouring ruler anywhere near his alleged lifetime
Yeah i have been saying the same thing for years that there are almost no primary sources before 1500. There is logic behind this though. Only western europeans started writing things down in historical matter and that is about 16th century. After this other nations/races started copying this method. Even in my country, estonia, the primary sources start from mid-16th century, when we were claimed by swedish empire. Of course, some people say there are primary sources before 16th century, because some chinese found some manuscripts in 21th century from bazillion BC, where it says they were super duper civilization before anyone else.
