This finding, however, turns that whole attitude upside down and proves that modern Liberalism may not be conducive to historical research, and may in fact be detrimental to truth-seeking because the narrative is placed in a superior position to empirical data. This is much of the problem that modern-day “deniers” have with Global Warming.
These new findings fit in with the Dynastic Race Theory espoused by archaeologist David Rohl. Rohl’s theory is that the ancient Egyptians arrived over sea from Mesopotamia, conquered the Nile Valley, and established the first Egyptian dynasties. This is in direct contradiction to the previous theory that the first Egyptian rulers and much of the population arrived by a land route from Africa.
Rohl based this theory, which he explained in his book Legend – The Genesis of Civilisation, on the Biblical account of Ham, the son of Noah. According to Rohl’s theory, Ham and his people moved from Mesopotamia to settle in Egypt after the flood. Rohl explains that this is the basis for Horus, one of the most significant Egyptian deities, who was, in fact, Ham. The name ‘Horus’ means “the distant one”, implying that he came from far away.
To confirm his theory, Rohl led an expedition in 1988 into Wadi Hammamat, a dry river bed in Egypt’s Eastern Desert that is the main desert route from the Nile to the Red Sea. Rohl studied ancient wall carvings and drawings depicting boats that had been discovered fifty years earlier by archaeologist Hans Winkler. Over 100 of these carvings depicted long boats with as many as 70 oarsmen.
These images conformed to Rohl’s theory that a sudden period of cultural and technological development during the First Dynasty in Egypt was the result of an influx of Mesopotamian elite who arrived in Egypt by sailing around the coastline of the Arabian Peninsula into the Red Sea and ultimately dragging their boats across the desert to the Nile.
At the rate that we’re going, by the time science and scientific theory reaches its apex, it may just prove the entire Bible as truth and Liberalism proven to the contrary. The thing that Leftists have clung to over decades may at one point in the near or distant future be the thing that they abandon and subsequently condemn.
It is an interesting way to view the future, much different than the post-apocalyptic view that many are used to seeing. The thing that I have always thought about science is that God gave us the ability to reason and the ability to adapt to our surroundings. He gave us the wherewithal to apply what we know and seek the truth…always. Christianity has ultimately always been about finding the truth and embracing it.
Leftism, by its own actions, seeks to suppress truth through political correctness. One thing that political correctness isn’t is truth. Call things what they are and see things for how they appear. That is the death of political correctness, Liberalism, and creative lying.
