Why It Appears That Women Are Taking Over Everything

Who Defined “Jewish”? The Deeper Battle Over Identity and Divine Authority By: Michael Taylor | ThaWilsonBlock Magazine In today’s world of rewritten truths and rebranded identities, few topics are more misunderstood—or more manipulated—than the question: Who is a Jew? For centuries, institutions, cultures, and religious authorities have claimed the right to define Jewishness. But beneath the noise of tradition and politics lies a deeper issue—a spiritual one. Because the question isn't just how “Jewish” is defined. The real question is: Who or what has the authority to define it in the first place? --- The Origin of the Covenant When we go back to the beginning, the answer is simple and undeniable. The Most High—YHWH—established a covenant with Abraham, reaffirmed it through Isaac, and fulfilled it through Jacob, who was renamed Israel. The covenant was not based on culture or customs. It was based on divine election and lineage. > “I will establish my covenant betw...

Ancient DNA Reveals Genetic Link Between Early Egypt and Mesopotamia

Ancient DNA Reveals Genetic Link Between Early Egypt and Mesopotamia

New research has uncovered a striking genetic connection between ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, shedding light on the movement of people across early civilizations nearly 5,000 years ago.

Scientists sequenced the genome of a remarkably preserved skeleton found in a sealed burial pot at Egypt’s Nuwayrat tomb site. Dating between 4,495 and 4,880 years ago—around the time the Great Pyramid of Giza was built—the individual’s DNA revealed that about 80% of his ancestry was North African, while 20% traced to the Fertile Crescent, the birthplace of Mesopotamian civilization.

Pontus Skoglund of the Crick Institute, a co-author of the study published in Nature, explained, “It allows us to take a big step into the ancient DNA record of Egypt.” He noted that while the closest genetic match is from modern-day Morocco, links to Mesopotamia suggest migration may have accompanied cultural shifts like the advent of farming.

This discovery supports long-suspected ties between Egypt and Mesopotamia, once inferred only from trade goods and shared pottery styles. The Nile, researchers say, likely acted as an “ancient superhighway” for both people and ideas.

The study not only uncovers ancestry but offers a glimpse into a physically demanding life. The man, possibly a potter in his 60s, was buried in a high-status rock-cut tomb. Scientists hope further ancient DNA analysis will clarify how widespread these cultural and genetic exchanges were across early civilizations.
