I could of sworn the Greek translation of the Genesis account had the phrase "and the Lord said to Plato"(sic)...😉

On another note, I was rereading a book I read a long time ago and there is evidence that Hebrews in Sinai created a written language from which Greek script was derived either directly, or (more likely) through the Canaanites, and from there, the English script itself. I can not find the original source material anywhere because its from 1905, but let it suffice to say that the researcher was Flinders Petrie.

What is the source your using for this, I'd really like to check it out first hand... Also, what Biblical name is substituted for Plato?

Lol..it was sarcasm, hence why I used the word sic. No such quote exists, but man would it would be funny if it did - then we'd have definite proof of the Greeks copying Hebrew works.

That definitely makes sense. If you read that link I posted from the Freeman Institute you'll see that a lot of information on there goes into detail about how the Israelite patriarch Joseph requested to be buried in the land Cannan, as well as how the Israelites occupied both Egypt and Canaan during the Hyksos(or Hebrew) dynasty in Egypt. This pretty much backs up a lot of what you've posted, as the Canaanites had much interaction with the Israelites during this time.

Yah, I've read a lot about the Hyskos... the existance of that foreign dynasty explains a lot of things... as well as Ramses II being an Assyrian.
