Your narrations are reassuring. I am an Ibo (corrupt name for Hebrew). These resilient people of Nigeria have their God-the God of Abraham which in their dialect is (Chukwu Abiama). Naming, burial cermonies are same as the Jews. They as ingenious as the Jews. They believe they are Jews. With this long understanding, Israel briefly came to their rescue in the 1967-70 Biafra/Nigera genocidal war. In South Africa, there are located People of Jews who are believed belong to the tribe of Aaron. When the fullness of time comes, and the Messiah comes again, we shall be together as one unified people unto Him.

sambatyon definitely not a myth
The talmud in sanhedrin 65 tells us that Tornisropos the wicked asked rabbi akiva what proof he has that shabbat is (the,a)special day. Rabbi Akiva answered the sambatyon is proof (rashi explains "a river of stones all week it storms and on shabbos it rests") There are two points to be made from this gemara 1)The talmud is recording an actual conversation that most definitely transpired this is not a midrashic homily that can have different meanings and interpretations. 2)Secondly from this anecdote it can be learned that the sambatyon was pretty much common knowledge at that time. For if not, how would rabbi akiva have brought proof of the sambatyon to a wicked man that didn't have much sympathy for rabbi legends?.

It is expanding my education. Thank you.
Mark Twain said he would not let his schooling interfere with his education. I shall do likewise as I continue these studies.
