The main extant chronologies place Abe-Jose too late (in Egyptian & Mesopotamian time lines) in my opinion. (They gen place Abe betw Ur 3 to Babylon 1 periods, and they put Jose betw 12th to 16th dyns.) Abraham lived only 400 yrs after flood, and at the end of longevity/(beginning of civilisation?).
The 2 droughts in (supp) "predynastic-postglacial" Egypt (2nd one corresp to Anau 2-Susa 2) acc to Cambridge Anc Hist, may be the droughts/famines of Abraham, Isaac &/or Joseph of Genesis? (Likewise with drought at Jericho between Natufian & Munhata/Yarmukian phases.)
Abraham may be contemporary with the 1st dyn of Egypt. According to Genesis 12 there was a bad famine followed by egypt/pharaoh being smitten by bad plagues. In the 1st Egyptian dyn the was a bad famine followed by a bad plague (and miracles). One possible problematic difference is that plagues is plural in genesis but singular in 1st Egy dyn (ref Bey), though Clayton does say "numerous plagues". (Also a problem if Waddell is right equating 1st dyn with the dyn of Akkad in Mesopotamian king list?)
On another hand Abraham could be Philitis of 4th egyptian dyn period, (see Herodotus)? Philitis was a shepherd and name means lover of righteousness, and Abe was called righteous in bk of Hebrews, (rather than P being Melchi-zedek as some in past claimed). <[Mastaba] mentioned in bible prophet book.>
Could (Su-)edin(-hum) (Subartu*/[Sumasti]/S(h)irihum/Suedinki/Subati/'Suedin & Gutium') of Sumer-Akkadian records be connected with Sodom? (LA Waddell reckoned suedinhum is Indus Valley. Su- can mean south.) In Genesis Sodom is said to be like Garden of the Lord (Eden, cp holy land). (Edin synoym Rom, d/r intchge.) Sodom was at Dead Sea, Suedinhum was near lower sea/nar marratu (salt/bitter [cp sea of death].)
* Many believe Horites of Transjordan were Hurrians, [mt Hur(r)um ~ mt Hor?].
* Su(edin) & Gu(tium) ~ Sodom & Gomorrah???
(Faint poss even that Sodom might be related to Solymi of Tacitus (Josephus)/Homer?)
Amadgal ("Akurgal", "son" of "Ur-nina") who is connected with Suedinhum could be Amraphel with d/r intchge, and g/p(h) as in Velikovsky's Apophis/Agag (Massey's Apophis/Akhekh, cp peleg/chalag; lupus/lykos; ahi/ophis, khent/fent)?
5/4 "sons" on [Ur-nina/Uruash] plaque perhaps 5 subject kings of valley &/or 4 confed ks? Lidda on plaque could be Lot?
Chedor-laomer could be Uruash Khad ["Ur-nina/Ur(uash)-nungal/Urlugal"]. King of Elam may corresp to lord of edin/anshan (persepolis)/indus as that king apparently was. (Chedorlaomer may be Arab Sheddad son of Ad & bro Luqman, and [Uruash Khad] is allegedly assoc with word [Ad].)
However possible problem is this depends on whether Waddell was right to equate:
uruash-khad (inscriptions) = ur(uash)-nungal/urlugal (uruk 1) = urnina/urnanshe (lagas [2])?
(Also/alt, Sargon is mentioned quelling a revolt there [suedinhum]; Sargon or Naramsin or Manishtusu conq Elam; Sayce says one of Sargon's names/titles was Dadil/Dadal/Ta(l)tal similar to Tidal, (and which resembles Daedalus, and Bristowe reckons Sargon conq Crete or Cyprus). Abraham and Sargon both connected with Ur name and fire worship.)
On another hand, could Tirigan of Gu-ti-um possibly be Tidal k of Goiim of Gen 14? (cp Sum gud/Heb goy/Engl cow.) In Hebrew d & r often interchange, and so do l & n, while Sumerian g is often dropped/added. (There was a k of early Lagas called Taltal-kur-gala; Guti period/dyn tied with late Lagas period/dyn.) Apparently there was a 12 yr famine/drought immediately before Tirigan. There was a famine/drought in gen chapter 12. Abe was 75 in ch 12, and next is 86 in ch 16, plus ch 14 says the ks served Elam for 12 yrs. It might make sense that they would rebel at end of famine/drought (and why took til yr 14 for response)? Tirigan is described as "the king who perished in the midst of his troops" vaguely similar to Abram routing the 4 kings. Tirigan's predecessor was "k of the 4 regions" - 4 kings of gen 14?
The usual old identifications for the 4 confed kings were:
Amraphel/Shin(g/e)ar - Hammurabi/Shumer;
Tidal/Goiim - Tudhaliyas/Goyim (Hittite/Hatti);
Arioch/Ellasar - Eri-Aku (Rim-Sin)/Larsa;
Chedorlaomer - Kudurlagamari (Kudurnakhunte/Kudurtakhunte about the time of Ur 3 dyn or Larsa dyn).
We can see the names are not necessarily as close as felt.
Judeao-Xtian version: Lot's wife turns back, turned into pillar of salt/vapourised.
Greek version: Orpheus looks back, wife lost.
Perhaps compare Japanese: Izanami burnt to death by birth of fire god; Izanagi warned not to look at her too closely. (Some BIs suppose Japs are descs of Lot/Transjordan tribe).
Judaeo-Xtian versions: God rains fire and brimstone down on Sodom & Gomorrah etc, Lot's wife turned to pillar of salt/vapourised. (Cp Abe saved from fiery furnace.)
Mesopotamian: 'fire and stones'.
Mesopotamia: floor of fused glass bottom of all strata of archaeological mine shafts (Berlitz). Remains of tower of Babel are vitrified indicating huge amount of heat (G Jeffrey). "... thunder ... the casing of burnt bricks" (Borsippa, Nebuchadnezzar inscript) [burnt from catastrophe &/or from sun/fire when making?]
Gobi: vitrified soil of type caused by atomic explosion (Berlitz).
Mexican vers: rain of fire (& gravel)/fiery rain ends # world age (Quiahuitl).
Greek vers: Phaethon almost sets world on fire. Phoenix. Monster Aegides vomitd flames in Phrygia spread far as India then Lebanon and as far as Egypt and Africa. Semele burnt to death. (Compare Medusa head turn people who look to stone.)
Celtic: Druid myth tells how fire & water prevail over earth (Hislop, Sykes).
India: Aurva created from thigh great consuming fire which would have consumed world....
Arabia/Palestine: Quite a few authors have given evidence that the whole Sinai, Negeb, Petra, Dead Sea, Lawz and El-Wijh area are burnt/scorched/seared/blackened/dessicated/scared/ash & lava fields (Alford, Murray, Jeffrey, Oommen, Cornuke).
Gomorah/Amorah might be Numeira (David Down [n/g intcge or n- prefix]; cp Qumran?)
Could Ben-Yamini of Mari recs be Ben-Ammi/Ammonites (rather than "stherners" or Ben-jaminites)???, &/or Ben-Sam'ali of Mari recs be Ishma-elites (rather than "ntherners")???
Ram caught in thicket of Abe/Isaac story supposedly resembles "ram in thicket" of Ur city tho the latter otherwise called 'goat with tree of life'. (Perhaps compare Mendes of 2nd dyn of Egypt.) Zodiacal age of Aries (cp Khnum (3rd/4th dyn), Amun (12th, 18th dyns))?
Hebron was built 7yrs before Tanis (Num 13:22); name of Pepy (6th dyn) found at Tanis meaning town at least that old.
Earlier name of Hebron was Kirjath-Arba "city of four" which is similar to Akkadian shar kibrdtim arba'inm erbettim "king of the 4 quarters".
Abe (roughly) came immediately after end of extreme longevity. Gilgamesh of Uruk 1 came immediately after end of extreme longevity. Pepy, Djedi, Gilgamesh were centenarians (like Joseph and Moses).
Azilian letters on pebbles found at/under Beersheba, and Beersheba is connected with time of Abraham/Hagar, possibly meaning Abe and Azilian close time-wise.
There is a strange similarity of Abraham and Sarah/Sarai with Brahman and Sri of India.
([Salibi or Osman]'s Asir in Arabia is biblical Asshurim sons of Abraham (not Assyria), not Israel.
