Talk:Flight into Egypt

message: I removed the following: "Egypt was a logical place to find refuge, as it was outside the dominions of King Herod, and both Egypt and Judah were part of the Roman Empire and were linked together by China's 2,500 year old ancient "silk road," This ancient road was historically known as China's "Silk Road." The very ancient China "Silk Road" consisted of a land and sea route. The sea route portion of China's ancient "Silk Road" was known as: the way of the sea", making travel between them easy and relatively safe."
I removed this both because it's original research and because it's wrong.
There are many problems with this deleted passage. 
1) The silk road was not China's. It didn't belong to any country, city, or region, but rather passed through many. The deleted passage makes three misleading references to the Silk Road as being China's.
2) The term "Silk Road" is actually from the 19th century and was coined by a German scholar. 
3) There was no single road, so the many references in this passage to "the silk road" are incorrect. In German, the term referred to "silk roads" in the plural, which is more accurate. This comment which I've deleted repeatedly talks of a singular route and thus exaggerates a) the consensus about the routes that can be called "Silk Road" and b) the extent to which it was something directed and controlled by China. 
4) Few scholars include Mediterranean trade routes as part of the "Silk Road". Since this term was never used by those who traveled along these many paths, there's a lot of dispute about just what routes to include under the term of "Silk Road". Some, but not all, include branches that extend into South Asia (what are now Pakistan and India). Some include routes that extend into what are now Iran, Iraq, and ports on the Persian Gulf.

message: Neither the "Return from Egypt" nor the "Prophecy of Hosea" have anything to do with the journey TO Egypt, but are more applicable to the "Return of the family of Jesus to Nazareth" article. "OUT of Egypt I called my son."  I don't see it as helpful for the article to wander off on divergent subjects. For that matter the section on Nazarenes doesn't belong here either. It is, after all, about their travelling to Egypt, not Nazareth; and there is a separate article regarding the return. Apparently, not everyone agrees. Mannanan51 (talk) 03:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
