Talk:Abraham in History and Tradition

This article seems to violate NPOV, as the author seems to be a partisan of Van Seter's theory. --Iacobus 02:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC) In that case, somebody should provide some balance, by bringing up any evidence that any of the kings mentioned in Genesis 14 is actually mentioned in any ancient extrabiblical source. Can anybody provide any such evidence? Otherwise, Van Seters was not proposing a theory but stating a fact. Das Baz 2 May 2006, 11:59 AM.

Indeed, some of the kings may have existed, and I am editing the article accordingly. However, what Van Seters affirmed principally - that no king of Elam dominated a vast empire including Mesopotamia, Hatti, and Canaan, remains a fact, not a theory. Erudil 17:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

If somebody has the technical ability to add a map showing Elam, Hatti, Mesopotamia, Canaan, and the Hurrian kingdom, please do so. Erudil 17:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
