Why Abrahm from Ur? Why not Imotep from Egypt or Hwai Do from China?

[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 77020832, member: 21246"] Oh, you beat me to it, this was my reaction having read through the thread. After the flood, Nimrod built his kingdom in this area and Abram left about 3-400 years before Hammurabi and his code and the falsification of the creation account in the Enuma Elish carrying the true account of creation with him. It is possible that Abram could even have known Noah as he died when Abram was in middle age. So the timing is important as the oral witness to the world that came before was carried with Abram before Babylon went completely nuts and rewrote the history of the universe in the 1750-1800BC area. The tower of Babel incident was probably a good 100 years (2240) before Abram's departure (2100) and the scattering of the peoples that occurred then. Was Terah called to leave at that time or after the initial scattering? That Abram's family did not leave with that initial scattering is interesting. They remained at the heart of what constituted the first post-flood kingdom. But then so did Noah and that seems the most important fact to me as it gives Abram a continuity and credibility that goes all the way back to creation down the righteous line of believers. He carried this into the next chapter of the believer's story in Israel. [/QUOTE]
