Description
Biblical Archaeology Course Overview
In this Biblical Archaeology class, students will experience the biblical lands as you discover sites, artifacts, and history first revealed in God’s Word. Learn the civilizations thought to be biblical myths until the sands of time and exploration revealed their existence. From the history of Israel to the powerful Egyptian pharaohs, discover these ancient peoples and cities, and the science of finding their place in history.
The Archaeology Book
The Archaeology Book helps students unearth: how archaeologists know what life was like in the past; why broken pottery can tell more than gold or treasure; some of the difficulties in dating ancient artifacts; how the brilliance of ancient cultures demonstrates God’s creation; history of ancient cultures, including the Hittites, Babylonians, and Egyptians.
Unwrapping the Pharaohs
Unwrapping the Pharaohs takes students back in time to when Egyptians such as the boy-king Tutankhamen, the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, and the beautiful Cleopatra are brought to life. The DVD includes a breathtaking journey through the pyramids and temples of Egypt.
Unveiling the Kings of Israel
Unveiling the Kings of Israel guides students to a deeper understanding of the history of the small nation of Israel, including the troubled and devastating periods of loss and exile once lost to time. Far from being a book of myths, the Bible is an amazing historical record, and each year, more archaeological discoveries continue to prove its validity and significance.
