So the Ketef Hinnom heirloom is not enough then to suggest that Israelite culture had some forms of literature both Ancient Near Eastern Literature and their own? I won't demand a Torah-based amount but surely an amount coming from J and E sources.

If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

I don't know where you're getting this library of text from you'll need to provide me a link to this, cause from all the scraps of information I've picked up, we're pretty lucky to even have as much stuff from the ANE mostly recovered.
EDIT : Nevermind, found a library of ANE text

Some of the ancient libraries, which contained some of the text and myths of the Old Testament were pre-Babylonian, Babylonian, Phoenician, Ugarite, Sumerian, and Canaanite.Last edited by shunyadragon; 05-03-2015, 01:28 PM.

This seems like goalpost shifting going from "No known Hebrew text dated before ~600 BCE" to declaring "not much evidence at all when neighboring cultures had libraries. Where is the real evidence for anything of significance?"
I'm always still in trouble again
"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --Tassman
