Is this Abraham in an ancient Egyptian tomb?

Описание: In 1890, archaeologists opened an Egyptian tomb and found something that should have been impossible. Painted on the wall, vibrant and preserved for 4,000 years, was a scene of foreign visitors entering Egypt. They weren't Egyptian. They were Semitic. They carried advanced weapons, wore multi-colored royal coats, and their leader was identified by a specific name: Abisha. For over a century, most scholars have treated this as just a generic scene of ancient trade. But what if they missed the most explosive detail of all?

In this episode, we’re dusting off the file on the "Abisha" painting to investigate a mystery hiding in plain sight. I'll break down the linguistic clues, the timeline, and the visual evidence that challenges everything we think we know about the book of Genesis. If this really is Abraham, then we have to completely rewrite our mental image of the Bible’s most famous patriarch.
