"That means there would have been a mass exodus of the righteous dead from Hades to Paradise at that time" No doubt! Just crazy how it all works. Good to know about this stuff. Sound Investigative Science!

Yes exactly, the Greek/Hellene world 300BC was the dominant Culture, dominant universal language all over, dominant in wisdom at the time of the early translations. Before this, the Hebrew had only a very limited & nebulous idea of Heaven & Hell, Satan, Angels and such. You are probably looking at something as basically limited as the Native Americans with vague reference to some smoking piece of land that smelled of sulphor fumes, smoke & vapors. (Which they prolly had somehwere, some forbidding caves or local geothermal ventings) Over all this you have Egyptians everywhere in the background effecting these primitive tribes that spawns myth of Moses & Egyptians huge preoccupation with the afterlife, Day of Judgement and the idea of Heaven & Hell...and those principals of MAAT (Truth & Light) that are the foundation of the Ten Commandments. (Later in 600BC you have the effects of the Persians with Cyrus, your idea that it was the Hebrew that influenced them is rediculous but over all it was the Egyptian civilization that rules over all, that much is obvious to all)

And i've already mentioned this to you before, if you want to get into archaeology and look at this scant biblical historical record (this being a science thread) , there is none really. From about 600bc you get a few prophets like Jeremia or Isaiah, some skimpy mentioning of a prayer here or there, then there's zilch on down to the 1rst century except some slight embellishments from already vague offerings. Look for yourself there's hardly anything at all from 600bc to 100bc, amazing -------->> List of artifacts in biblical archaeology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artifacts_significant_to_the_Bible Were there a tribe of Hebrews that developed some proto language 800bc that might have been involved in a few insignificant skirmishes? Sure, so what? Besides pointing to a tiny few instances of Egyptians recording some battles in the Sinai, again so what? The Egyptians also recorded 1000's & 1000's of other things as well. This so called "Biblical Archaeology" is just so much "air" that is teriffic for its shear scantiness, the rest is all proven earlier myths from the creation story to the flood. Everything else gets penned in 300-150BC when the Greeks arrive, surprise surprise, but no surprise. Your parent religion tried to develope itself in a vacuum & thats why it had nothing much going on till more civilized people arrive to give them more things to think about AND.... a far more developed language to express it. Remember -->language & information relationship? Thats what the Greeks gave them, greater information capability, a whole lot of new deeper takes on wisdom & ethics, since they were far far more advanced, no contest.
