Lil about me, for my full membership

Migrated topic.
C'mon mate? Moses tripping is a valid hypothesis made by a hebrew scientist among others. and parting the red sea was clearly stated in the bible I didn't say anything else. I do not want to join this site to explain myself every 5 minutes.

Allegro started to train for the Methodist ministry but transferred to graduate with a first class degree in Semitic Studies from the University of Manchester. He obtained an M.A. for a study into the Balaam Oracles and later pursued further research, studying the various dialects of Biblical Hebrew at Oxford. In 1953 he was invited to become the first British representative on the international team working on the recently discovered Dead Sea Scrolls from cave 4 in Jordan. The following year he was appointed assistant lecturer in Comparative Semitic Philology at Manchester, and held a succession of lectureships there until he resigned in 1970 to become a full-time writer. In 1961 he was made Honorary Adviser on the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Jordanian government.

some of his work has been refuted, but much of it still remains.. overall has some good info, though don't take OP to be representative of his work.
 
and once again that mans hypothesis is that he had exogenous influence, not even the plausible explanation of endogenous experience. mate...
 
can we not let yet another thread devolve into an argument? :[

I'm all for encouraging critical thinking and grounded speculation... but to encourage that and then at the same time basically dismiss Allegros work as 'wild speculation that sounds great' without even looking into it is hypocritical

The idea that some of these ancient figures ingested psychedelics and/or had spontaneous "psychedelic" experiences is not all that far-fetched at all (experiences of that nature are actually very common-i.e. Jung, Tesla, Hoffman..hoards of nexians lol..etc- regardless of whether endogenous hallucinogens are involved or not). Not citing this as evidence; but iirc strassman is also currently writing a book on this same subject

The OP never said it was a fact, they admitted it was just an idea they found interesting. Many here talk about being convinced they've met with hyperdimensional aliens...so maybe lets give them a bit of slack eh? 😉
 
Agreed UC.

However, I think the conversation would be much more interesting if the OP said:

"I believe X because of Y and Z."

Instead we get:

"I believe X. Google it."

I find the topic extremely interesting and even believe the burning bush is reported to be syrian rue and/or some acacia. However, I am not versed in this topic and therefor would love to hear supporting evidence of the OP.
 
this is my first post for goodness sake. I did not come to the nexus to argue, only to expand upon ideas. If you are truly interested in this phenomena I would personally recommend reading rick strassmans book, as well as Hancock's Supernatural as both are heavily referenced well.
