✨The Surprising Reality
When Abraham left Ur around 2000 BCE, the Great Pyramid was already 500 years old. He was looking at monuments older to him than the Colosseum is to us.
🤔The Context Question
But here's the remarkable part: Abraham left during the 'Golden Age' of multiple civilizations—Egypt's Middle Kingdom, rising Babylon, sophisticated trade networks.
📚What We Know
Abraham didn't leave a primitive world but one of remarkable sophistication. Ur had advanced mathematics, astronomy, and legal systems. Egypt's pyramid era had produced architectural marvels. Yet God called him away from all this human achievement.
