I think Allah came from a clever combination of Arab god Ilah, and Roman Alleuia or De Ira or Arian or Adeodatus or Atlas/Atlantis (which may be the beast in Revelation). The Arab god Ilah may come from El/Il/Ilu or Enlil/Ilu. See https://iwillnotbeassimilated.blogspot.com/2017/09/origins-of-islam.h...

Islam says the name of God in the Koran is only Allah. In the bible the name of God seems to be Yhwh/Jhvh. The other names like El/Elohim, Adonai, I Am, Abba, etc are more like titles or epithets or forms of address, while God's only actual personal name seems to be Yhwh. Some say that the name Yhwh...

Which came first the Greek being Atlas or the mountain in nw Africa? I would have thought that the mountains was named from the being rather than the being from the mountains. Unless the Greeks conflated similar sounding/looking names or similar/synonymous meanings. And if the being came first then ...

Not sure if your "Atlantos" is meaning/referring the name Atlas/Atlantis or the name Atarantes or "Atlantes". Atlantis' name is from Atlas (Greek god & mountain) whose name is supposed to mean "struggle" as in "athletics". It is not at all certain that &qu...

The Hebrew word koren can be "horns" or "rays" (or maybe eyes?) So it wouldn't be a copy by Europeans, but there might have been a parallel with the Egyptian at the time. Possibly the Armenian Moses of Choren is related. Not sure if it is the same word koren but the ram in Daniel...

I think that Moses was a real historical person like the bible says. I have candidates in the (6th? &) 12th (& 13th?) dynasty. But it is possible that Moses may have been analogously corresponded with Thoth, though I can't see how it helps any much with finding Moses in Egyptian history. Teh...

Various followers of the conventional chronology and of Rohl's chronology have claimed that Joseph can't be in the 2nd/3rd to 4th/5th dynasties period because they claim the dates don't/can't match. So this is just a post showing what dates or dynasties Joseph can match in Egyptian history. At prese...

Some interesting things there. It would be better if you provided transliterations in Roman alphabet of the Greek and Hebrew words as I'm not good with remembering/reading Greek alphabet and Hebrew alphabet. Yam Suph of Exodus may not have anything to do with reeds. It could mean something like Sea ...

Hoeh's Compendium of History also mentions Ephah & Epher (Bible) or Ephas & Ophren/Africa (Josephus) or Afer/Apher & Japhran (Polyhistor) or Apher & Japbran/Africa/Aphra (Cleodemus) or Hesperus & Atlas/Italus (Spanish) 2 generals/captains/auxiliaries of Hercules when he fought ag...

Just a few more from checking further on biblical Seth outside bible. Set/Typhon is associated with the number 56 (angles/degrees). Seth had 56 children (33 sons & 23 daughters). Set's/Typhon's animal is a strange beast. Seth is attacked and bitten by a wild beast which goes away when ordered by...
