Delving into the ancient world, this volume guides listeners through the most striking archaeological finds that illuminate biblical narratives. From the breakthrough of the Rosetta Stone and the secrets of Egyptian hieroglyphs to the uncovering of royal mummies and the trace of early Semitic peoples in Egypt, each episode offers a clear picture of how modern scholarship reshapes our view of the Old Testament’s backdrop. The author’s long‑standing involvement with the Palestine Exploration Fund ensures a balanced blend of rigorous detail and engaging storytelling, perfect for those who want insight without the weight of technical jargon.
The journey then turns to the lands of Palestine, where topographical surveys, geological sketches, and meticulous city plans reveal the physical realities behind sacred texts. Listeners will explore the layered history of Jerusalem—its walls, gates, and subterranean tunnels—while also hearing about the broader landscape of the Dead Sea region, the plains of Sodom, and the ancient routes of the Exodus. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully referenced, the work invites anyone curious about the intersection of archaeology and scripture to travel back in time with confidence and clarity.
