What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

who believes about its ancestors what did they do to protect that story they cut out all the descendants and they attribute this story to somebody else right that's not going to fit the source that I'm talking about and when you by the way you find so many near misses you find so many stories that seem to fit and then at the last minute you see they don't fit the category what it shows you is this category is a robust category it really captures something essential and all they proposed I had extended correspondence with a professor of correspondence with a professor of Classics who thought he had four counter examples to my position he also thought there were problems with the logic of position was very extended and quite energetic um in the end he had to admit that none of his examples work I wanted to publish it and he said well I didn't I didn't engage in a thorough scholarly research so I don't want to use my name okay so I wrote it up I have it as an appendix of a longer work and I just I did a substitute you know on the computer had took out his name and put computer had took out his name and put him the professor I have the whole on your website or it's not on my website but uh because part of something that I hope to publish but uh here's a fellow who's a professor of classes by the way he got his degree from Oxford and he couldn't find he couldn't find encounter examples in in the ancient world and so uh so I think it's it's it's a strong and robust uh category it's well it's well supported okay yeah what about Pharaoh's dreams who to see those written in
