Prof. Israel Finkelstein is a leading figure in the archaeological and historical research of Ancient Israel. Throughout forty years of field work and study Prof. Finkelstein has managed to change the way archaeology is conducted, and to greatly influence the way the bible is interpreted, and the history of Israel is reconstructed.
Prof. Finkelstein is a professor emeritus at Tel Aviv University and the head of the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa. Prof. Finkelstein is active in the archaeology of the Levant and is an applicant of archaeological data in reconstructing biblical history. He is also known for applying the exact and life sciences in archaeological and historical reconstruction. Prof. Finkelstein is the current excavator of Megiddo, a key site for the study of the Bronze and Iron Ages in the Levant. Prof. Finkelstein is a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and an associé étranger of the French Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
Dr. Matthew J. Adams is an archaeologist who specializes in the Near East. He is currently director of the Jezreel Valley Regional Project and a Co-Director of the Megiddo Expedition along with Prof. Finkelstein.
Dr. Adams sat down with Prof. Finkelstein over several sessions to talk about how a lifetime of work has informed the story of Ancient Israel. These conversations became the series The Rise of Ancient Israel with Israel Finkelstein.

Thank you so much! Grazie!
Besides them, many Arab sources confirm the fact that the Holy Land was still Jewish by population and culture in spite of the Diaspora:
·In 985 c.e. the Arab writer Muqaddasi complained that in Jerusalem the large majority of the population were Jewish, and said that "the mosque is empty of worshippers..." .
·Ibn Khaldun, one of the most creditable Arab historians, in 1377 c.e. wrote:
"Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel extended over 1400 years... It was the Jews who implanted the culture and customs of the permanent settlement".
After 300 years of Arab rule in the Holy Land, Ibn Khaldun attested that Jewish culture and traditions were still dominant. By that time there was still no evidence of "Palestinian" roots or culture .
·The historian James Parker wrote: "During the first century after the Arab conquest [670-740 c.e.], the caliph and governors of Syria and the [Holy] Land ruled entirely over Christian and Jewish subjects. Apart from the Bedouin in the earliest days, the only Arabs west of the Jordan were the garrisons".
Even though the Arabs ruled the Land from 640 c.e. to 1099 c.e., they never became the majority of the population. Most of the inhabitants were Christians (Assyrian and Armenian) and Jews.
'Arab' is an ethnicity. Christians, Jews and Muslims can be any ethnicity, including Arab.
Just recently, Haaretz published results from genetic sequencing done on DNA from a rich, elite Canaanite-Judaite family from 2,750 years ago. Turns out that they are genetically most closely related to modern day Tunisian Arabs, Iraqis, Northern Saudi Arabians, Jordanians, and Turks. In other words, these ancient Judaites were ethnically arabs.
Wait, so modern day Palestinians are indeed the Canaanites and Israelites who were jewish and then converted to islam in the subsequent centuries.
Well well well, the khazarians/ ashkenazis are indeed the colonising invaders then lol. So when r u gonna buy a one way ticket to russia/ poland ?
באים אל הפרופסורים! תדה רבה מהארצות הברית. מצאתי את הערוץ הזה בגלל הראיונות עם מיכל.
Thank you! Welcome 😊
Great work: Please where does the rein of King Saul fall in?
Dr. Finkelstein, I would like you to make a video of your research about the flood...there was a flood or it’s part of the myths...Thanks.
deep exegesis with archeology
Could the habitants of Judah and Israel in the Iron Age have had oral traditions about the past with some degree of accuracy? 2 kings 7:6 refers to the King of the Hittites and the King of the Egyptians, they seem to be recalling some sort of tradition about the bronze age before its collapse.
It is debatable, but most scholars will probably will agree that they have had such traditions. Hittites (which, unlike Egyptians survived the collapse) are mentioned many times in the OT (i.e Efron the Hittite or Uria).
😊🇧🇷
I wonder if their people in this world which believes those liar's
Shush, adults are speaking, this isnt for simpletons like you
Keep wondering.
Btw, did you know that all the prophets in the quran are jews?
@worfoz prophets = lunatic on shrooms who convinced other unsuspecting more ons to listen to them.
Cant believe its 2024 and people still believe in prophets
Really enjoyed your podcast 🎉
Happy to hear it, thank you!
A note on the perceived united monarchy from the POV of the biblical text writer -
For some of the time of the 2 kingdoms, Judea may have been a vassal of Israel and in much cultural and linguistic similarity.
Therefor, I think that the biblical text writer may have "remembered" them acting as one, perhaps militarily, economically or religiously.. and turns that into "once we were one empire".
Try the ancient city of Zoam, Egypt. "the Hyksos were our people' Josehus Flavius.
JP lacked the ability, nor the technology, to identity and correctly date the Hyksos period in Egypt. He missed it completely by centuries.
@@KEDEMChannel who is JP? thanks for the info
Josephus
@@matthewvicendese1896 Tks for correcting
From India, I found this video just answering my questions when I am looking for a serious discussion about the existence of the United Monarchy of Israel.
Nice Work!!
Thank you! 🙏
