1. Midrash. Both Esau and Israel are Hated!
Midrash Breishit Rabah 63:7
'Two nations are in thy womb':
Two celebrated among the nations are in thy womb,
One takes pride in his world
And one takes pride in his world;
One takes pride in his kingdom
And one takes pride in his kingdom.
Two celebrated among the nations are in thy womb,
Hadrian among the nations
and Solomon among Israel;
Two hated among the nations are in thy womb,
All the nations hate Esau
And all the nations hate Israel.

3. Archaeology. Israelites in Biblical Dan Worshipped Idols, and [the Almighty] Too, Archaeologists Discover

Extract:
The Ten Tribes living in the Kingdom of Israel during the 8th century B.C.E. practiced a mixed religion, but contrary to the conventional wisdom among biblical scholars, their main deity was [the Almighty], not the Canaanite god El and his envoys, golden calves and goat-shaped demons. ...Dan also housed Arameans and Phoenicians as well as Israelites.

Extract:
Mariusz Burdajewicz suggested a comparison with the Cypriote temples built at Kition and Palaepaphos during the 12th-13th centuries B.C., but in Palestine the Beth-Shean temples were the only examples of this architectural typology. The recent discovery of Complex 650 at Khirbet el-Muqanna/Ekron provided a new example of a temple with a long-room cella divided into three aisles and surrounded by a row of auxiliary rooms, offering new evidence for the reconstruction of the Iron Age sacred architecture.

5. The Ancient Anglo-Saxon Migration to Britain
Were the Anglo-Saxon tribes pushed from their native areas due to warfare or territorial disputes? Or did they primarily migrate for expedition and conquest?

They were basically climate refugees.
The Frisian coasts and Pomerania became uninhabitable due to salt water flooding in the 200s, and Bornholm was deserted by 250AD. Saxons started raiding Britain and working there as mercenaries, and in the 400s established settlements and small kingdoms there and took over control in the power vacuum once the Roman legions had left. Then from 536-540 came the Fimbul Winter with no summer for 3 years, when agriculture in Northern Europe collapsed, followed by plague, and then Angeln was deserted completely, and Saxons and Jutes also migrated in masses to Britain.
