those are quite a few questions and i am thinking they are not directed at me per se even though you replied to my post - correct me if i am wrong . . .
my point of posting that segment from a Khoisian story is because these are people who are some of the most ancient people on earth and yet within their legends they have a similar story to the one in the bible (i.e. the Exodus with the parting of the water which allows the elect to pass and the pursuers to be drowned). So the bible tells us that this actual thing happened to the people known as the Israelites when they flee Kemet - but now we see a story that is obviously allegory from a people who predate the biblical story by at least tens of thousands of years.
I just wanted to challenge ones to think about what they are taking as literal/historical truths in the bible versus what could very well be adaptations of far older legends.
