About the topic

Scholars and the general public alike tend to approach the ancient Biblical stories not as scientific and historical narratives, but rather as simple literary tales. However, as archeologists continue to dig and uncover artifacts and ancient texts, a different story emerges. Come with us as we examine some of the most exciting scientific discoveries of the ancient world, specifically regarding the wanderings of a people referred to in hieroglyphics as the ‘nomads of Yahweh’. We will look at linguistic, historical, and archeological finds that will amaze you.
