National Geographic magazine published an investigation, under the title The Kingdom of Dawoud and Sulaiman between Fact and Fiction, written by Robert Draper. This title is on the cover of the magazine, and this is what sparked my interest as I looked through the different magazines distributed inside the library, along with many beautiful investigations in various fields. So I decided to buy the magazine despite its high price, and my great desire to overcome the state of reluctance to read that haunts me these days.

I read the article that evening, and found myself faced with many points that I came up with after I finished reading, adding to the previous background I had on the same topic, and in addition to some questions waiting to be answered, which are left to the researchers and to time.

The investigation was beautiful in its objectivity and science, despite the question that was written inside a rectangle under the investigation title, and above a picture of a shepherd near Jerusalem playing the flute. Inside the rectangle was written this question: Was the kingdom of Dawoud and Sulaiman a great empire or just a small agricultural village??.

I found this question unscientific and fraudulent, because it proves something in this interrogative form: Is it…or…?, because its existence has not been proven yet, so how can we assume its size? It is a question similar to the question about whether Pluto’s country is on the continent of Africa or in The continent of Europe? Until this moment, there is no definitive evidence about the existence of the kingdom of Dawoud and Sulaiman, so how could it be a great empire or an agricultural village? But I tried to understand that question in another way based on the objective and logical sequence in which this investigation was written, so that question can be considered Based on the controversy at the table of scholars and the street in the state of the Zionist entity, about that kingdom among archaeologists.

However, the investigation was objective, and these are the points and questions that I came up with:

■ Archeology in the Zionist entity, and not in other countries of the world, receives great attention from the government and scientific organizations and societies friendly to the Israeli people. It also receives great attention from students going to colleges and universities, with a desire to obtain large financial grants from societies and organizations. Such research is supported by Christian Zionist associations. Archeology students are considered among the most interested students and receive large financial scholarships, because archeology, for Israel, is relied upon to preserve the mythical identity of the Israeli people, and is also relied upon to eliminate existential anxiety that worries Israelis, except at the governmental or popular level.

■ Archaeologists in the occupying Zionist entity are divided into two groups.

1- The first team excavates with a shovel in one hand, and the Bible in the other. This team believes in the Bible, and believes that it is accurate from a historical standpoint, and that it is strong archaeological evidence, despite the widespread criticism directed at this team, considering its work to be incomplete. Scientific circular logic. This team is led by scholars such as Eilat Mazar, which the author of the investigation visited, which is near an ancient building that was discovered near Jerusalem, which she says is the palace of Dawoud.

—————————————-

This group, for those who do not know, is deliberately and perhaps foolishly ignoring the fact that everyone agrees on, including believers in Judaism and Christianity, that the book of the Torah in our hands was compiled and compiled for the first time in the Greek language in the third century BC, that is, approximately 1000 years after the supposed time of Musa. In the year that was the time of Ptolemy in Alexandria, it was called the Septuagint at the time, and from Greek it was transferred to Syriac and from there to the rest of the world’s languages. After that era, several books were added to it at different historical stages. When translating from Greek into Syriac and from Syriac into other languages, it is natural for distortions of meanings and geography to occur. When they encounter a word from Greek that carries meanings, they interpret it in a different sense other than the original meaning, and to this day the Torah is still subject to distortions from one edition to another. .

It also ignores another fact that the Zionist interpretation of the Torah is the one that imposed the names of the Torah on the geography of Palestine.

2- The second team, as the investigation says, does not make the Bible a basic reference and relies on archaeological discoveries according to a method, and publishes what they have received, the facts and discoveries, without ideological considerations or personal and political considerations, and does not care about what the Israeli street’s response will be afterward. The publication of any scientific papers, or even reactions from the first team, which is subjected to a lot of criticism, to the point of accusing it of looking for fame and attention. This last team is represented by Finkelstein, director of the Institute of Archeology at Tel Aviv University.

This controversy taking place among the archaeologists of the Zionist occupation entity is not the controversy that someone thinks is a controversy over ordinary historical and scientific issues. This controversy can be considered a matter of life and death for the Zionist entity to survive after it claimed that the legitimacy of resurrection is based on historical right and My religion, and the intense pace with which the occupying Zionist entity carries out excavations and excavations, is only a microcosm of that controversy on the ground in search of roots, even simple ones, to cling to, which further strengthen and consolidate the identity of the mythical Israeli people.

■ The excavations in Jerusalem will never end, and the Zionist entity will resort to crazy, unnatural acts, and perhaps it will enact legislation that entitles it to confiscate areas for the sake of excavation work and prospecting for that alleged identity buried underground, as they say, so I see that the fears It will increase and will not stop for Palestinians living in East Jerusalem the possibility of excavations approaching them, and perhaps their fate will be deportation. Especially since the followers of the first team are archaeologists, and they represent a large majority in the people, the government, and the new parties. If we imagine the extent of the scope that that team will pursue in excavations based on texts, then perhaps those texts will turn into a justification and justification for doing something that is not imaginable.

■ The research and excavations that take place in Jerusalem and its environs are not for the purpose of searching for traces that prove the presence of the Al-Yahoud in that land since ancient times, but rather they are generally focused on searching for that kingdom mentioned in the Bible. The personalities of Dawoud and Sulaiman are the basis for which it will be proven. The political identity of the alleged Israeli people, as they were the first to establish a state for the people of Judah. The book of the Torah narrates imaginary stories about that kingdom and its information, so those two characters represent a large part of that mythical political imagination of the Jewish people that global Zionism needs for the survival of the political entity of the occupying state, and this is what is expressed by the head of the Shalem Center, who helped finance Excavations Many archaeologists say:

“If you delete the story of Dawoud and Sulaiman from the Bible and his kingdom, it will become a different book, and it will no longer remain a historical work, but rather a fictional novel, and what remains of the Bible will become nothing more than a propaganda attempt to create something that never existed.”

Therefore, I believe that the stakes are still very high for them, and on this basis, the excavations will be fierce in the future and will not have mercy on anyone.

■ I believe that research based on the Zionist biblical narrative and on political considerations about the history of that region will emerge a lot in the coming period, and this is what was expressed by many of the scholars who represent the first group, as some of them declared that they fell ill from excessive stress, after losing their lives. For many years without conclusive evidence. Because of this fatigue and the lack of conclusive evidence, literal textual readings will continue like crazy.

■ Until today, the names of Dawoud and Sulaiman have not been mentioned in any inscriptions from other civilizations that lived through that period in which that kingdom was mentioned, according to what was mentioned in the Bible. Inscriptions of the civilizations of the region exist, but that kingdom does not exist, even though it is a huge and legendary kingdom on the To some extent the Torah describes it and they claim, how is it possible that this kingdom was not discovered while the rest of the kingdoms of the region were discovered and their inscriptions are available in large quantities? Even in other periods there is no inscription mentioning the names of Dawoud and Sulaiman, even among the civilizations that were in that region throughout history. But the article mentions that a stone was discovered in 1993 with the words “House of Dawoud” written on it, dating back to the same period in which Dawoud was mentioned in the Bible. Although I am still not convinced of this thing, except after researching and investigating it, perhaps the House of Dawoud was nothing but a Phoenician translation of another word. And this is what some scholars’ research showed us in many translations of inscriptions in different civilizations, far from the scientific method and emphasizing ideology in the translations, as happened with the name of Ibrahim, some of whom said they found that name in Assyrian inscriptions, and after investigation and research. I found that they translated an Assyrian word as Hebron, out of a desire to find a place for Ibrahim in the ancient inscriptions.

But the question is: Did the phrase “House of Dawoud” actually be written in that room?

■ The Zionist settlers still have a complex about their roots, or perhaps about their alleged ancient identity, and the survival of Israel is the survival of the Bible, and the survival of the Bible is proving the authenticity of the Bible with physical evidence on the ground. The Zionists are striving to prove their alleged nationalism that they created nearly sixty years ago. That nationalism that bases most of its imagination on the Bible.

But the question is: What if the Bible is proven incorrect?

This means a major identity crisis and the invalidation of the legitimacy of the establishment of Israel. The deception will be exposed that Israel is merely a Western occupation project and has nothing to do with religion except camouflage attempts to deceive the gullible.

The excessive Israeli-Zionist obsession with proving the authenticity of the narrative found in the Bible has reached the point of insulting archaeology, and thinking about deporting Palestinian families from their homes in Jerusalem, as the author of the investigation says, and this is what the director of the Zionist entity’s research center expressed when he said:

“Our claim to be one of the oldest nations in the world, and to be true contributors to the building of human knowledge, derives its legitimacy from the fact that we wrote the mother of the book – the Bible.”

■ Archaeologists, despite decades of excavation, have not found concrete and convincing evidence proving that Dawoud and Sulaiman had a kingdom, as mentioned in the Bible. Also, to be honest, no evidence has been discovered through excavations about the existence of two figures with this name and theirs. That date is as stated in the Bible.

■ The Israelis, especially the decision makers, are living in a state of identity vacuum, this artificial identity that they are searching for in order to strengthen the pillars of this imaginary state and this allegedly fabricated people, by searching for their real, not imaginary, roots in the land of Palestine (Canaan, as they say it is called by the book). Holy), and they try to exaggerate it even if it is small compared to those events that occurred in other civilizations that lived in that region.

■ The Israelis still know the fact that the establishment of the State of Israel and the area that their state constitutes represents a problem that worries them greatly. They are trying to find historical, political, or even scientific justifications to convince the world and the future of the circumstances that led to the establishment of the State of Israel, and this is what Shimon Peres expressed in a tone A sharp, loud voice that hides the truth about the matter that still bothers them when he commented on what a journalist said and said:

“Many civilizations have passed through the region since ancient times, and we have been here and returned to our land.”

It was also expressed by the Zionist archaeologist Mazar when she jumped from her seat and ran towards a young man, scolding him in very angry tones, when an Israeli young man, who works as a tour guide, began explaining to the tourists that the building that Mazar had discovered was not the palace of Dawoud, and that all the archaeological excavations were in the city. Dawoud is a method followed by the Israeli right to expand the state’s territory and displace the Palestinians. She said after she left the place to the astonishment of the tourists, muttering:

“One has to be really strong.”

Then she continued her words after she got into her car with signs of shock on her face and said:

“I really feel like I’m going to get sick from overexertion. I’ve lost many years of my life to no avail.”
