That's what the article was about....Persian water works. If it were about a Assyrian fertilizer factory, I would have posted that too.
what does the fact that they could renovate prove ? every nation would have its construction people, but to what extent is not always constant. some ;eaders believed in monuments because their egos were probably bigger thantheir pocket books while others just liked the spoils of war.
Attila is outside the geographic area for biblical archaeology. However, an interesting character.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
He should have killed Pope Leo and done the world a favor.

starflower--- here is a passage of scriptures that indicate thatthe migration was done by invitation not invasion:
45:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye;
lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
45:18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and
I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the
fat of the land.
45:19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the
land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring
your father, and come.
45:20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is
your’s.
45:21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons,
according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them
provision for the way.
thus there would be no need to have this recorded in the annals as it was a personal act from the Pharaoh himself and not a battle worthy of recording.
thus i doubt there would be any record of the original Israelites coming to Egypt plus initially they were given the best land as it was a reward for all the Joseph had done for the country.
thus if that puts them in the delta area, then again their presence would be overshadowed by other migrants. also

typical written administrivia, directed at indigenous people who couldn't care less, and codified, later, into a book driven by political purpose.
the real deal here, as then, as now, is what is the tax basis?
i.e. how the hell do you get these border crossing goatherders into the administrative revenue stream?
There was no Joseph. There was no invitation. There were no Israelites at the time in question.
It's all a load of crap invented later.

that was addressed to starflower, is that your new handle? i am allowed to engage other people on this board. i thought you wanted to talk about persian plumbing?
in comparison, how does the persian remodelling stack up against the minoan construction?
No but I'm not going to let you pile this religious bullshit in here without refutation.
If you want to send a PM, go ahead.

You keep quoting shit from the bible as if it has some special meaning.
It doesn't.
It was created ages later to give your Israelite pals a history.
They needed one.

Really, John. There was just a show on History or History International about how good the Minoan plumbing was. No good against tidal waves or marauding Greeks, though.
