Does the history channel have a forum, and are they invading /lit/?

It's not actually proven too be how old it's estimated too be. They guessed on that one, but scientists are always right they never actually guess.
That's what you're in for.
A plagiarism on the writings of based Moses.

Test me faggots come on.

Bulls, bros, battles.

>A plagiarism on the writings of based Moses.

Epic if Gilgamesh
3rd Dynasty of Ur
circa 2100 BC

"According to archaeologist William G. Dever, the scholarly consensus is that the figure of Moses is legendary, and not historical. However, he states that a "Moses-like figure" may have existed somewhere in the southern Transjordan in the mid-13th century BC."

may have. so he was essentially jewish fan-fic.

It's way better than you'd expect but it ends really abruptly.

There isn't, he's memeing you.

Heavenly harlots, secular cedars, intangible immortality.

it's about bromance and facing one's own mortality, the moral of the story is basically just be urself and YOLO

You're in for paying to read something that's in the public domain.
