IIb. Megiddo in the Period of the Judges
Timothy Harrison, University of Toronto
Between 1925 and 1939, the University of Chicago excavations at Megiddo--Biblical Armageddon--concluded that Stratum VI was populated during the 11th century. Harrison explains what these important artifacts-including bronze statues, a hoard of ivories, jewelry and pottery-tell us about the political and cultural role of Megiddo during a key point in ancient Near Eastern history.
IIc. Recent Explorations in the Sinai: Implcations for the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt
James Hoffmeier, Trinity International University

IId. Solomon in his Context? He's for Real!
Kenneth Kitchen, University of Liverpool
Kitchen, one of the world's leading Egyptologists, focuses on the empires of the ancient Near Eastern world. He examines temples and palaces unearthed by archaeologists and reviews early Egyptian chronology to place David and Solomon and their kingdoms into historical context.
IIe. Stratigraphy in Geography, History and...Archaeology
John Monson, Wheaton College
Monson explains how geography, history and archaeology played a large role in the lives of the people of the Mediterranean world. Geographic variations, such as valleys and coastal plains, led to the founding of cities in areas that were conducive to trade, encouraged agriculture and provided protection during battle.
IIIb. The Battles of Armageddon
Eric Cline, The George Washington University
Cline describes in detail the many fierce battles--beginning in 2350 B.C.--that have taken place at Megiddo, which sits at a crucial crossroad in northern Israel. Cline then investigates how this battleground city came to inspire the Biblical concept of Armageddon.
IIIf. Seafaring in Biblical Times
Shelley Wachsmann, Texas A&M University
Wachsmann takes us on a maritime visit to numerous peoples who lived in the eastern Mediterranean during Biblical times.
