WHY DIGGING UP THE PAST?

The ancient Middle East is home for the historical Biblical records. So it is no surprise to find that the spade of the archaeologist has unearthed many artefacts that relate to historical events, people and places mentioned in the Bible.

What can we learn from pivotal events in the past?

WHAT TO EXPECT

David Down, the author of this 3 part series spent the greater part of his adult life involved with Middle Eastern Biblical archaeology. The purpose of these reading guides is not to explain archaeological methods or techniques, but to review the outstanding finds that have been made, especially those that relate to the Biblical record.

WHERE TO START

The first lesson, named "Land of the Pyramids", offers an opportunity to study the Egyptian pyramids, the use of hieroglyphs, and the historical account of Moses and the Exodus.
