Abraham taught the Egyptians mathematics and astronomy, which knowledge he brought from Mesopotamia, where there were many libraries with records from before the Flood, There are Babylonian tablets still being found in this region that make reference to the time before the Flood. There were two routes through Canaan in the days of Abraham- Abraham preferred to take the lonely, difficult road through the mountainous country rather than going through the fertile valleys of the Plain of Jezreel along the coast of Judah. Abraham must have been a mountain man! And thus he escaped the valley people! The ancient city of Mari was supposed to have been the tenth city built after the flood. Hammurabi’s Armies destroyed the city. The ancient cities like Mari used methods of rapid communication that were as effective as modern telegraph. The messages were sent by means of ” fire signals” from the frontier of Babylon right up to the present day Turkey in a matter of a few hours, a distance of more than 300 miles. Abraham passed through such cities. In the days of Abraham and Moses there was a Great Wall guarding the route into Egypt, called ” The Princes Wall”. The wall was armed with archers on the wall and towers. The wall, it seems, was built shortly after the Flood when Egypt was being founded. A long account of an Egyptian name Sinuhe tells of his escape from trouble in Egypt, the problem of getting across the ” The Princes Wall” and his life and adventures in Canaan, and his eventual return to Egypt. The story was written at the time of Abraham and gives a good idea what life in Canaan was like then. Hammurabi was a famous king that lived at the same time as Abraham. This king of the city of Babylon became very powerful and is remembered for writing down some laws and codes fro the people to live by. The code is written out on a stone 8 feet long and 2 feet wide and has about 4000 lines of text.

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
