Lysimachus of Alexandria (~360 BC – 281 BC) was a Macedonian officer and (successor) of Alexander the Great

Moses was a kind of black magician and an impostor, and that their laws equivalent to those recorded in the Talmud, were immoral: "The Jews, leprosy and scurvy, took refuge in temples, until King Bojeris drowned lepers and sent the other hundred thousand to perish in the wilderness. A certain Moses led and instructed them not to show good will towards anyone and destroy all the temples they found. They came to Judea and built Hierosyla (=looters city of temples)."

In the 6th century, a list of seven wonders was compiled by Gregory, Bishop of Tours. The list included the Temple of Solomon, the Pharos of Alexandria and Noah's Ark.

~250 bc Manetho was an Egyptian historian and priest who lived during the Ptolemaic era. Manetho wrote the (History of Egypt) which is often used as evidence for the chronology of the reigns of pharaohs. Manetho asserted that the Jews are the enemies of the human race and that it is necessary to remove the Jews from human society. Manetho's main contention, an obvious rebuttal to the biblical account of the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, is that the Jews did not leave Egypt as the victors in a revolt against the pharaoh who oppressed them. On the contrary, the Jews were expelled from Egypt because they were lepers and, on the side, engaged in nefarious and destructive acts. The Egyptians threw them out into the desert because the Jews endangered the existing civilization of Egypt. According to Manetho, the Jews ought to be expelled into the desert or quarantined wherever they appeared or, if these means failed, society as a whole had the right to defend itself by destroying the Jews. He wrote that the Jews were descendants of the hated Hyksos usurpers and that they had spread leprosy and venereal disease in Egypt. He maintained that Jews had been expelled for their power-grabbing.

Egyptian writers were hostile to the Jews because of the association of Jews with the Persian and Greek conquerors of Egypt. ****This is a theme through history that once persecution begins because of Jewish business practices and Kahal monopolies then they sell their hosts out to other nations.

The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu, a high ranking military general and strategist, but perhaps not completed until the subsequent Warring States (475bc- 221bc). The book was first translated into the French language in 1772. The Art of War is divided into 13 chapters:

Laying Plans/The Calculations explores the five fundamental factors (the Way, seasons, terrain, leadership, and management) and seven elements that determine the outcomes of military engagements. By thinking, assessing and comparing these points, a commander can calculate his chances of victory. Habitual deviation from these calculations will ensure failure via improper action. The text stresses that war is a very grave matter for the state, and must not be commenced without due consideration.

Waging War/The Challenge explains how to understand the economy of warfare, and how success requires winning decisive engagements quickly. This section advises that successful military campaigns require limiting the cost of competition and conflict.

Attack by Stratagem/The Plan of Attack defines the source of strength as unity, not size, and discusses the five factors that are needed to succeed in any war. In order of importance, these critical factors are: Attack, Strategy, Alliances, Army, and Cities.

Tactical Dispositions/Positioning explains the importance of defending existing positions until a commander is capable of advancing from those positions in safety. It teaches commanders the importance of recognizing strategic opportunities, and teaches not to create opportunities for the enemy.

Energy/Directing explains the use of creativity and timing in building an army's momentum.

Weak Points & Strong/Illusion and Reality explains how an army's opportunities come from the openings in the environment caused by the relative weakness of the enemy in a given area.

Maneuvering/Engaging The Force explains the dangers of direct conflict and how to win those confrontations when they are forced upon the commander.

Variation in Tactics/The Nine Variations focuses on the need for flexibility in an army's responses. It explains how to respond to shifting circumstances successfully.

The Army on the March/Moving The Force describes the different situations in which an army finds itself as it moves through new enemy territories, and how to respond to these situations. Much of this section focuses on evaluating the intentions of others.

Terrain/Situational Positioning looks at the three general areas of resistance (distance, dangers, and barriers) and the six types of ground positions that arise from them. Each of these six field positions offer certain advantages and disadvantages.

The Nine Situations/Nine Terrains describes the nine common situations (or stages) in a campaign, from scattering to deadly, and the specific focus that a commander will need in order to successfully navigate them.

The Attack by Fire/Fiery Attack explains the general use of weapons and the specific use of the environment as a weapon. This section examines the five targets for attack, the five types of environmental attack, and the appropriate responses to such attacks.

The Use of Spies/The Use of Intelligence focuses on the importance of developing good information sources, and specifies the five types of intelligence sources and how to best manage each of them.
