<strong>The</strong> names Abi-ram (Abraham), Yasmah-El (Ishmael), Yaqob<br />

(Jacob) and El-Laban (Laban) all appear at Mari near Harran, on the<br />

River Euphrates. <strong>The</strong> town of Abraham's brother Nahor also appears as<br />

Nakkur and Assyrian texts mention a town named after Abraham’s father<br />

Terah, together with names derived from the tribes of Gad and Dan. 460<br />

<strong>The</strong> city of Mari controlled the southern trade route from<br />

Mesopotamia. Harran had equal strategic importance. It controlled the<br />

northern route from Mesopotamia to western Asia. Abraham's family was<br />

prominent in both these gateway cities so Abraham would undoubtedly<br />

have been an important person. A Chaldean Priest called Berossus<br />

prepared a history of the mythology of Babylonia in 280BCE. He says of<br />

Abraham: 461<br />

After the deluge, in the tenth generation, was a certain man among<br />

the Chaldeans renowned for justice and great exploits, and for skill<br />

in the celestial sciences.<br />

Josephus agrees with this conclusion about Abraham. He tells us<br />

that Abraham ruled Damascus where he was a foreigner having come<br />

from the land above Babylon with an army. 462 We know little about<br />

Abraham's reasons for swiftly moving to Kadesh-Barnea in the Negev<br />

and the journey to Egypt. 463 He has military allies in the area and a<br />

mobile corps of three hundred and eighteen fighting men under his<br />

command. 464<br />

Abraham’s Warriors of Jah (Yuddha or Yudh) mirror Brahm’s<br />

legendary fighters, the Ayodhya. 465 Ayodhya are Yehudiya or Judea. In<br />

Sanskrit, this means <strong>The</strong> Unconquerable. <strong>The</strong>y remained aloof from the<br />

Amalekites and other non-believers in the ancient Indian philosophy of<br />

Yah, also called the Cult of the Material Universe.<br />

It appears that Abraham's military movements relate to the<br />

Hyksos invasion of Egypt: 466<br />

Abraham and his family came from Ur in Sumer to Hebron in<br />

Canaan, probably about 1850BCE and there are good reasons<br />

for placing Joseph's migration to Egypt during the Hyksos period.<br />

<strong>The</strong> presence of Abraham's half-sister and wife, Sarai, amongst<br />

the Hittites who occupied Hebron confirms the Hittites were allies. <strong>The</strong><br />

Hittite respect for Abraham is apparent from the Biblical passage that<br />

mentions the well-known field of Abraham: 467<br />

And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these<br />

were the years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Kirjatharba;<br />

the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham<br />
