This strengthens our own faith and gives us added conviction in a world which seems to believe increasingly that Bible-believers are people who ignore facts and science. In this paper are facts which you can master and use to help your friends find hope in Jesus. What is biblical archaeology? Put simply, it is archaeology that relates to the Bible. What then is archaeology?1 It is the study of discovered ancient findings; a) antiquities - ancient man-made relics, and, b) fossil bones. Archaeology is not an exact science, and when reading journals and books you will find that many discoveries undergo subjective analysis and interpretation. Archaeologists sometimes do not produce sufficient final reports of excavations, and this hinders true identification of discoveries.

EVANS MCMASTER DIVINITY COLLEGE, CANADA INTRODUCTION Sennacherib’s third campaign is one of the more thoroughly inves- tigated events that intersects with biblical history. The fact that there are three biblical narratives (2 Kgs 18–19; Isa 36–37; 2 Chr 32) concerned with the Assyrian campaign against Judah under- scores its obvious importance to the biblical writers. The existence of multiple copies of Assyrian annals that refer to these events, as well as the “Lachish reliefs” pictorially depicting the Assyrian siege and sacking of the Judahite city during the same campaign, likely explains why the events have captured the imagination of biblical scholars and historians alike.1 Some of the chief debates concerning * The nucleus of this essay was presented at the Annual Congress of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies which met in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada in May, 2011.

  • From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East
    REVOLUTIONIZING REVOLUTIONIZING Mark Altaweel and Andrea Squitieri and Andrea Mark Altaweel From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East This book investigates the long-term continuity of large-scale states and empires, and its effect on the Near East’s social fabric, including the fundamental changes that occurred to major social institutions. Its geographical coverage spans, from east to west, modern- day Libya and Egypt to Central Asia, and from north to south, Anatolia to southern Arabia, incorporating modern-day Oman and Yemen. Its temporal coverage spans from the late eighth century BCE to the seventh century CE during the rise of Islam and collapse of the Sasanian Empire. The authors argue that the persistence of large states and empires starting in the eighth/ seventh centuries BCE, which continued for many centuries, led to new socio-political structures and institutions emerging in the Near East. The primary processes that enabled this emergence were large-scale and long-distance movements, or population migrations. These patterns of social developments are analysed under different aspects: settlement patterns, urban structure, material culture, trade, governance, language spread and religion, all pointing at population movement as the main catalyst for social change. This book’s argument Mark Altaweel is framed within a larger theoretical framework termed as ‘universalism’, a theory that explains WORLD A many of the social transformations that happened to societies in the Near East, starting from Andrea Squitieri the Neo-Assyrian period and continuing for centuries. Among other infl uences, the effects of these transformations are today manifested in modern languages, concepts of government, universal religions and monetized and globalized economies.

  • The Great City
    Morandi Bonacossi (eds) Bonacossi Morandi & Petit NINEVEH, THE GREAT CITY ‘Well, as for Nineveh, skipper, it was wiped out long ago. There’s not a trace of it left, and one can’t even guess where it was’ (Lucian, 2nd century AD). Nineveh, the once-flourishing capital of the Assyrian Empire, has fascinated writers, travellers and historians alike since its complete annihilation by allied forces in 612 BC. It was said to have been a great and populous city with 90-km walls, stunning palaces and colossal statues of pure gold. Since 1842 archaeologists have been investigating CITY GREAT THE NINEVEH, the ruins of Nineveh, which are located on the eastern banks of the river Tigris, near the modern Iraqi city of Mosul. The hundreds of thousands of objects that have been collected tell an intriguing story of life and death in a remarkable Mesopotamian city. The edited volume Nineveh, the Great City contains more than 65 articles by international specialists, providing the reader with a detailed and thorough study of the site of Nineveh. It describes the history of the city, the excavations and the dispersed material culture that can today be appreciated in more than 100 museums and institutes around the world. Special attention is paid to the endangered heritage of Nineveh, which recently faced destruction for the second time in its history. This lavishly illustrated volume is intended to appeal to readers interested NINEVEH in culture and heritage, as well as to students and professional academics. THE GREAT CITY Symbol of Beauty and Power edited by L.P.

  • Phoenicia, Philistia, and Judah As Seen Through the Assyrian Lens
    Phoenicia, Philistia, and Judah as Seen Through the Assyrian Lens: A Commentary on Sennacherib’s Account of His Third Military Campaign with Special Emphasis on the Various Political Entities He Encounters in the Levant Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Paul Downs, B.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2015 Thesis Committee: Dr. Sam Meier, Advisor Dr. Kevin van Bladel Copyright by Paul Harrison Downs 2015 2 Abstract In this thesis I examine the writings and material artifacts relevant to Sennacherib’s third military campaign into the regions of Phoenicia, Philistia, and Judah. The intent of this examination is to investigate the political, ethnic, and religious entities of the ancient Levant from an exclusively Assyrian perspective that is contemporary with the events recorded. The focus is to analyze the Assyrian account on its own terms, in particular what we discover about various regions Sennacherib confronts on his third campaign. I do employ sources from later periods and from foreign perspectives, but only for the purpose of presenting a historical background to Sennacherib’s invasion of each of the abovementioned regions. Part of this examination will include an analysis of the structural breakdown of Sennacherib’s annals (the most complete account of the third campaign) to see what the structure of the narrative can tell us about the places the Assyrians describe. Also, I provide an analysis of each phase of the campaign from these primary writings and material remains.

  • Swords and Daggers, Spearpoints, Shields, Armour and Helmets
    LATE ASSYRIAN ARMS AND ARMOUR: ART VERSUS ARTIFACT by Amy E. Barron A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. © Copyright by Amy E. Barron (2010) Late Assyrian Arms and Armour: Art versus Artifact Amy E. Barron Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2010 Abstract The present study was intended as a new approach to the study of the military equipment of the Late Assyrian period which has traditionally relied upon the pictorial representations of the palace reliefs. By examining extant artifacts from the first millennium in their own right, with the reliefs merely serving to contextualize them, a truer understanding of Assyrian arms and armour can be gathered. This is necessary because the artwork only provides us with a filtered view of the real world, the reliefs are as much works of propaganda as of history. The approach taken here is to first examine the existing weapons typologically, and then to evaluate whether such weapon types appear to be accurately represented in contemporary artwork. Textual sources are also used where they can aid in the discussion. Five categories of arms and armour were studied: swords and daggers, spearpoints, shields, armour and helmets. The quality and quantity of the items in these categories varied significantly, providing for a much better representative sample of some items than others. Further questions concerning the possible ritual, rather than military, use of some of the existing artifacts were raised.

Only on the evidence of two or three witnesses shall a charge be sustained. If a malicious witness comes forward to accuse someone of wrongdoing, then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days, and the judges shall make a thorough inquiry. If the witness is a false witness, having testified falsely against another, then you shall do to the false witness just as the false witness had meant to do to the other. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. Deut. 19.15–19 NRSV ITISATOPOS AMONG PRACTITIONERS OF ANCIENT HISTORY to present their work in metaphorical terms as some kind of legal investigation. Historians are trained to balance testimonies of various kinds, which often preserve partial and sometimes conflicting views and interpretations of the past. What are the prerequisites for a fair trial, when we aim at balanced and reasonably accurate historical judgement? To begin with, one might think that we should start to collect as much evidence as possible—a basic principle that sounds like a truism but is not always respected. Moreover, the evidence produced should be of various kinds, which means, for instance, that we should not build a case on verbal testimony alone—essential points may never have been mentioned during the interviews, but ultimately build up a case.
