Fascinating read! I think even if we go back 100 years, our ancestors would be very foreign to us. The ancient world was very violent. I'm only familiar with different versions of the Christian bible, both Old and New Testaments. There is a lot of merciless conquest in the Old Testament, such as God telling the Israelites not to spare the women and children. Jepthah also sacrifices his daughter as a burnt offering in Judges and I always wondered why God didn't spare her. I'm not religious, but very interested in religions.
This is great and new perspective. Beautifully written, God bless you brother!
