- Jewish slaves build the pyramids.
They were build by Egyptians, probably out of loyalty to the pharaohs.
- Columbus discovered America.
He never reached the mainland. He didn't go any further then the Caribbean Islands.
Man, this one is infuriating for me, and I'm Jewish.
It's like we based an entire religion out of this lie - every aspect of the old testament is riddled with exodus references.
did the Jews ever claim to have built the pyramids?
Was Egyptian slavery of Jews not a thing at ALL?
No it was: https://www.archaeology.org/issues/262-1707/features/5627-jaffa-egypt-canaan-colony
For 3 centuries, bible said 4. That book is known for exaggeration.
The Babylonian exile on the other hand is attested. That was more like a royal hostage situation than slavery though, the Babylonians sacked Jerusalem and took the nobility back with them.
Columbus reached the mainland on his third and fourth voyages.
On his subsequent voyages he went farther south, to Central and South America. He never got close to what is now the mainland of America. Wikipedia
South America is not "mainland of America"? What do you consider "mainland of America" if south America is not part of it?
Murica obviously, no other place exists
