It did not exist in the region at either start date according to the general historical consensus.

Oy vey its like anotha...

Judaism was a very tiny fringe that was yet to be organized for a good thousand years by the later start date of this mod. I assume you could include that early version of it but only a few characters would have it. It's just too small.

It would be like including Hellenism in the base ga- wait a second...

It says that judaisem started 3-4 thousend years ago Kingdom of Judah was created around 600 BC by that time it was either a small but upcoming religion or maybe it took large and was big but it was there and was not really small

No it was bigger the right thing is atleast putting it on 2-4 counties in the mod that would be more historical

agree. adding judaism would be more fun, too

This is pure ignorance. There wasn't a consolidated Jewish ethnic group or religion until the 1st millennium BCE, a long time after the period covered in this mod. The closest analogue you had in the 2nd millennium BCE was "apiru," which was the blanket term for the bandits and outlaws living outside of settled areas in the Levant. The word itself is probably the ancestor of "Hebrew," but the term at the time referred to various nomads and criminals living outside the law, regardless of ethnicity.

The earliest examples of Proto-Hebrew language only date to the 10th century BCE, and classical Biblical Hebrew starts from the 8th century BCE.

don't add a nation bc Joshua didn't conquer Canaan until like 1400 BC so yes that would be dumb--BUT I think it would be cool to have Israelite faith still in the game as that did exist at the time (no, mainstream rabbinic Judaism did not exist at the time, but the Israelite faith very much did exist)
