I've heard (don't know if it is true) that the first sections of the bible were only oral history. Most of it only got written up during the exile in Babylon.

I don't know if it is true or not, but I think it should be taken into account that such things might happen.

It is pretty impressive though that Jews have a 3000? year history - which is pretty unique. My people were still clobbering Romans over the head with blunt instruments 1500 years back.

Also pretty impressive that they have a history that is 3000 years old - yet I can't seem to find 12 year old Geocity pages...
