Moses de Leon ascribed the Zohar to Shimon who was a rabbi 2000 years ago. ''The Zohar first appeared in Spain in the 13th century, and was published by a Jewish writer named Moses de León. De León ascribed the work to Shimon bar Yochai ("Rashbi"), a rabbi of the 2nd century during the Roman persecution[5] who, according to Jewish legend,[6][7] hid in a cave for thirteen years studying the Torah and was inspired by the Prophet Elijah to write the Zohar. This accords with the traditional claim by adherents that Kabbalah is the concealed part of the Oral Torah.'' source: http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/15278-zohar#406
shoot
Are you currently studying geoscience or have you completed your degree?
currently studying
Ok I was just curious
yeah, don't quote me on your essays or anything
Too late lol
@Deleted User Moses De Leon was not the author. The Rabbi, Shimon Bar, was the one to have completed the Zohar. I don't blame you, at first glance typing ''Zohar date creation'' gives 13th century date.
plus I think I may have called a named fault by a city name instead of the fault name yesterday, but I can't remember
point is, it was a transform fault
that was still right
most people thought it was round
Dante's Divine Comedy cited a round earth so that purgatory could exist opposite to civilization
@Amthyric In the renaissance, many people believe in round earth but not in the ancient times. I was surprised to see other people than greek philosopher think that the earth was round. So far from what I know, it was a couple of greerk philosophers and jewish kabbalists who tought the earth was round in ancient times.
that said, Dante was pre-Columbus
the article is about Columbus
Renaissance started pre-Columbus, it started around the 14th century
It's not unusual to find out most people in the renaissance believed in round earth, but it is unusual to find people in ancient times believe that it was round.
It had it's inception during the late 15 early 16th century
@Sassy Undeniably just curious what are you studying in university?
?
Entreprenual BAAS and cosmetology
Ok just curious
and kinesiology
Hey I have a few friends in kinesiology
Yeah
@rivenator12113 the Zohar is a medieval document. I don’t know what you’re referencing about the 13th century
It’s essentially fanfic about a bunch of famous rabbis
@rivenator12113 some of the rabbis mentioned in it are from far earlier, as you said. But the actual document was written in the Middle Ages
many of the scientific theories the world clings to are largely based on the Zohar/Kaballah philosophies. things like string theory for example, quantum physics etc.
i wish i took notes on specifics. one sec
@Deleted User The teachings of the Zohar was introduced by a rabbi 2000 years ago but they were persecuted and could never publish their work. Moses took their work and published it to the public, he ascribed all the works of the Zohar to Shimon Bar
@rivenator12113 when are you claiming the Zohar was written?
@Millennium Envoy nnnnope
look into it
respected "scientists" have said it already
@Deleted User mb, 2000 years ago
