Oh I recently got into an argument with this man called SuperAlwaysRight (ironic), who told me that not only did King Solomon, King David, Moses, or Jesus never exist. His reason was; I wanted a mature debate from a grown man whose only knowledge of Egyptology consisted of quoting professors in Chicago.
His argument (your gonna love this):
"Thutmose is a compound name comprised of Thut (from Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom) and mose (an Egyptian title or suffix indicating son or rightful heir). In the ancient Egyptian language, words were written without vowels. Thut was, therefore, written as Twt. The ancient Hebrew language, although very different from Egyptian, originally derived its written structure from the Egyptian language.(2) As with Egyptian, the consonants were written and the vowels were vocalized only. Transliterating the Egyptian word twt into Hebrew, because of their similar alphabets, leads to dvd. Reinserting the vowels for pronunciation in Hebrew leads directly to David!"
.....................Read that again until you understand what he just did.
He took two different languages, removed the vowels from David, replaced the Dvd, and concluded because the Egyptian language had no vowels; this led to Twt and vowels "were vocalized only" and consonants "were written", he then came to the conclusion that TWT and DVD were similar in the two DIFFERENT ALPHABETS, reinserting the vowels he says leads to "DAVID."
THAT'S his argument. Would you believe our argument started off as "Were there really slaves in Egypt?" I said there was and I used historical documents, scripture, and secular sources to provide scientifically proven evidence. He replied telling me that his Davinci Code-style theory of his about how every biblical historical figure never existed (despite accounts in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Persia whom all attest to the existence of these characters in real life). His theory is laughable and shameful in credibility that would make any conspiracy theorist proud of his argument. He then concluded his argument with a personal attack towards me and said my sources were racist (not why, but they just were apparently). A few F-words here and there as well.
Despite him having graduating from college a decade ago he believes a stupid History major student couldn't possibly know more than himself because he's had 3 more years of 4-yr college than the student. This is a grown man, people there is no excuse for boasting an irrational joke of illogical knowledge. This man is a dashiki-wearing idiot, who is in fact a hypocritical racist. This is the shame Dr.King despised about militant black attitude. It never proved a logical stance.
