Your sacred history is not a lie, its just a story in a book. A story which is just that, a story.

You said:

The so-called "Jews are Khazarians" nonsense somehow fails to explain where Hebrew came from. And it also disregards the many archeological corroborations of ancient Jewish life, far before the Khazars were a gleam in their parents' eyes. Google Hezekiah's tunnel, the Lachish letters, the Dura Europos synagogue...I could go on and on.

There is a difference between the modern Hebrew spoken today and ancient biblical Hebrew.

Yiddish as well as modern Hebrew is traced back to Khazaria.

They are both actually Slavic languages as crazy as that may sound at first.

Yiddish is a Slavic language that was relexified with a mostly German vocabulary, and modern Hebrew is also a Slavic language that was relexified with a mostly ancient Hebrew vocabulary.

No Jews in Europe ever spoke ancient Hebrew.

The theory that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Khazars does explain where modern Hebrew comes from, does not say much about ancient Hebrew, though that language was probably spoken by a people called the Habiru.

Basically, when the Khazars were converted to Rabbinic/Talmudic Judaism, they also excepted the Hebrew alphabet which they used for their Asiatic language. Once the Khazarian empire fell to Kievan Rus and the Byzantines, Khazars fled to various parts of Europe, and during that time they Judaized a group of Western Slavs called Sorbs. Infusing their Asiatic language with the Hebrew alphabet they received with the Sorb's slavic language, they created the proto-Yiddish. Sometime in the 11th or 12th century, it was relexified with a German vocabulary. The language that is today known as Yiddish is a typologically Slavic language with a Hebrew alphabet and a mostly German vocabulary.

There are Ashkenazi Jews today with last names such as Khazarov, Khazarin, Kozar (Hungarian word for Khazar), Kagan (it was the title given to the Khazars leader), Kaplan, Halpern, Berman, Berkman. All these names are of Khazar origin. I was also told that there are several Turkic words in Yiddish. I don't know about that though. The word 'yarmulka' sounds very Turkic.

I checked out Hezekiah's tunnel, the Lachish letters, and Dura Europa. I've also read about The Menenptah Stele, The Moabite Stone, and the Elephantine Papyrus, among others. But that stuff is hard to believe since Jews and Christians alike have an agenda to prove biblical mythology as historical fact.
