This is an attempt to revive interest in pre-Babylonian capitivity Old Testament history, discredited through lack of evidence in Israel/Palestine. It supports the vercaity of the Old Testament historical account, from Abraham to the destruction of Jerusalem ca. 586 BC, but argues that Moses was from Nubia where the Hebrew were enslaved as gold miners. The Exodus probably passed down the Nile-Atbara and Tekazze to the Ethiopian/Eritrean highlands and then across the Bab el Mandeb during voclanic activity to Yemen where the Hebrew regrouped and then, leaving their Midian (Medjay) companions behind, conquered Canaan in West Arabia and founded the two Israelite states of Israel and Judah. It supports but reassesses the Salibi hypotheses thirty years after its 1984/5 publication.
