Description

In this episode of the Bell's Books and Blog Podcast, Jane M. Bell discusses three revolutionary discoveries that greatly impacted our understanding of history and science. She begins with the Rosetta Stone, an artifact that helped decipher the enigmatic Egyptian hieroglyphs, shedding light on ancient Egyptian culture, religion, and daily life. Next, Jane dives into the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which offer insights into the religious practices, beliefs, and social-political conditions of ancient Jewish communities during the Second Temple period. Finally, the episode wraps up with a look at the development of DNA profiling, a ground-breaking technique first developed by Sir Alec Jeffreys in 1984, which has radically changed forensic science, criminal investigations, and justice. Throughout the episode, Jane explores not just the specifics of each discovery, but also their implications, impacts, and broader relevance to informed historical and contemporary understanding.
