Abraham originally was from Ur, according to the "tale"...but traveled to Canaan....which was STILL part of the Fertile Crescent and NOT, as you ridiculously claim, farther away than the Indus Valley. In fact, looking at your map, he could have easily traveled up river to get close to Canaan.Thanks for proving my point. According to your own map and it's scale, where Ur has been discovered and where the Indus Valley is are about 1000 miles apart. Thanks.Ur is in Mesopotamian...near where the Tigris and Euphrates come together....not anywhere near the Indus river valley.It's particularly amusing considering that the biblical story of Sodom etc places them in Canaan...and it was actually 5 cities with 4 of them being destroyed...even tho it's only the first 2 that seem to be remembered. But it's only a tale.
Scholars believe that most Biblical "tales" have their roots in actual Historical events. The written version is frequently aggrandized and exaggerated, but no serious scholar takes them as 100% literal, only religious zealots.
Abraham, forebear of the Hebrews, is believed to have come from a region of modern day Iraq known as "Ur" not far from the region of Mohenjo Daro - some of the Old Test.Biblical tales - such as Sodom & Gomorrah are theorized to have derived from there. In fact there is even a theory that Brahma and ABraham are one and the same Historical character.![]()
Right ... and the Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey ...not New York.![]()

And UR and Canaan are even further than that - If you are attempting to demonstrate how hopelessly infantile, ignorant and intellectually slovenly you truly are ..... you're doing a wonderful Job !
You're not very good at this, are you?
