The dating method used by Amnon Ben-Tor to establish a synchronism between the commercial exchanges between Mari, Hazor and Egypt is scientifically irreproachable. I came to the same conclusion using synchronisms dated by astronomy (see https://www.academia.edu/2414447/ ).

@Steven Bible is inerrant word of God. But that’s ‘our’ belief and other religions thinks their sacred test is the authoritative divine truth. When Bible says something about matters such as conquest of Canan we believe it is a claim about history and is not some sacred mythology. So we should “dig up the dead people” and see if the evidence corroborates or contradicts biblical narrative. If it corroborates then we can be more confident that our beliefs about bible. As Bible is true we should expect Bible to be corroborated by archaeological remains within the limitations of this scientific field. Suppose if evidence clearly contradicts biblical narrative about the conquest of Canan then we should modify our claims about these passages. That is what everyone who seeks truth have to do. So if we love truth then we should love the work of Archaeologists as they can contribute something of great value to our knowledge of truth about biblical narratives.

The biblical accounts of every thing we read today in the Bible are inherently correct regardless. No man can and will ever thwart the hand of our God as He alone gave the words to men to recored exactly what happened and how so…stop digging up dead people and thank Him for what your little minds CAN comprehend.

No coincidence that bronze statue has an elongated head. I do realize that it is a hat or helmet of somekind, but there would be no need to make one that high without some purpose.

So, there was a fire and the city certainly was invaded, but what exactly proved that it was the Israelites? So far, the actual identity of the invader is based only on conjecture.

Joshua 6:24 jericho is burned like hazor. Hazor was not the only city burned down. And modern day jericho is most likely grar where isaac lived during the famine and he dug there many wells. Mount hor is probably masada where aaron is burried

Mount Abel was called abel in memory of abel son of adam who was killed in the garden of eden where he offered his sacrifice. Gerizim was never called gerizim. It was called gezerim and later changed to gezer. When abraham was told his sons would be under oppression and the fire came from heaven to burn the pieces he prepared piieces means gezerim. So these two mountains have meaning in connecting the garden of eden with abraham. Meron hss many slopes and i beleive one of these slopes contains the altar joshua made at ebal with the plastered stones. I suggest you start digging :)) good luck.

Benjamin tudaleto in his journeys describes shammai and hilels graves as being together with his 20 disciples not seperate. The place where the spring would rise up from the earth and water the garden is called the huta on mount meron a giant cavity in the mountain. Moses struck the rock near by and created the meron stream. How much more evidence do you need? Hebron is really tzfat. Abraham and isaac and jacob are burried there with their wives but rachel was burried on the way to betlehem in the nachal amud pillar. It is on the way to the real betlehem and we know there were two bethlehems one in galil and one fake betlehem in the south

Horeb which means sword was named horeb because of the everturning sword that protects the way to the tree of life. Jacob saw these angels in his vision of the ladder. Abraham also first came to shechem and sett up his tent between bet el and ai. In other words shilo. Judges 21 tells us shilo is north of bet el on the east side of the highway. To shechem. Take a map and from elijah chair to the shammai tomb which isnt really shammai tomb is exactly north on the east side of the rd to shechcm or meron.

Abraham and isaac knew exactly where to dig in the desert since they lived in the time before and after sodom and gmorrahs destruction when the pishon and the gihon still flowed through the negev. Jacob prophesised that the scepter shall not depart from judah until shilo come . Shilo being the original chosen place in shechem and bet el.
