- The University of Chicago excavations at the ancient mound at Megiddo - biblical Armageddon - yielded stunning discoveries in the 1920s and 1930s that transformed our understanding of the ancient world. They unearthed biblical-era gates, palaces, stables, and temples, along with gold and ivory treasures, making international headlines in the process.
In this illustrated lecture, Professor Eric H. Cline, who himself excavated at Megiddo for twenty years, drew on archival records and rare photographs left by the participants to present a portrait of a bygone age of archaeology.
His story took us through the infighting that rocked the expedition, as well as the impact of their work on biblical archaeology as a whole. It then finished on a high, with 10 surprising and little-known facts about the excavations.
Dr Cline is Professor of Classics and Anthropology and Director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at The George Washington University. A National Geographic Explorer, Fulbright and Getty scholar, and NEH Public Scholar with degrees from Dartmouth, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania, he is an active field archaeologist with more than 30 seasons of excavation and survey experience in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Cyprus, Greece, Crete, and the United States. These include ten field seasons at Megiddo, and eight seasons at Tel Kabri in Israel, where he is currently Co-Director.
This is SO fascinating. Eric Cline is the best. I feel so fortunate to be able to benefit from Eric's vast studies.
This is a 'site' with serious question marks. It has all the hallmarks and efficacy of a stage managed production. Academic scholars with decades of financial support speaks volumes in this day and age. This site, like Giza and Gobekli Tepe, should be viewed for what they are - simply tourist attractions.
Thank you for this history. It's very interesting.
What I find facinating, apart from the archeology, is the fact that the Westerners got dreadfully sick with Malaria but not the Egyptian workers. I live in South Africa and I lost a very healthy cousin to Malaria. Scientists tried to eradicate Malaria in Africa but the virus simply mutated and still lives.
Locals often have genetic mutations that help fighting the parasite, mutations that are unknown of in Europe (as Europeans didn't need any of them to survive).
Har Meggido!
Dressing the stage for tomorrow.
Thank you very much for your hard work. Can you help with the underwater arch. Picture and these big questions of before the flood. How megalith construction was occuring. Naztec Lines, etc. Also help with getting America and Europe behind the ridiculous flat earth thing. Which was meant as quack news. Even the Native Americans new the earth was round. We have to teach this correctly. Also, to think that Africans or anyone with black skin would not have made wealth by using gorillas and evolution publicly is lame. In fact it was probably very important for some, with crowds drawn in.
Israeli war of independence?
What exactly does domestication mean? It seems like we can't do those things today, much of them. Just breeding and interbreeding and we come up with all this? Cmon.
Nicely researched presentation as far as it goes.
However, according to David Rohl it is wrong to equate Egypt's Shoshenk as the same as the Biblical Shishak. They are different pharaohs.
Rohl in his documentaries convincingly explains why conventional pharaonic chronology has a missing 300 year gap and many pharaohs are completely mis-dated and are, in fact, much older.
Consequently, a lot of Biblical dating is wrong and confusing. You would do well to stop re-gurgitating discredited conventional 19th Century dating and apply your knowledge to answering the blatant discrepancies that Rohl has uncovered. Otherwise, you are just another academic nit-wit living in a pleasant ivory-tower making a pretense of furthering Biblical research, but actually contributing nothing.
I've subscribed. I'm pleased that right at the end of Dr Cline's lecture, David Rohl does ask a question about the Shoshenk cartouche rock's strata, which apparently cannot be verified.
In my view, finding the rest of the rock, or finding similar fragments with Shoshenk's cartouche in a verifiable strata, has not been carried out thoroughly enough despite what Dr Cline claims.
This evidence has to be there!
David should be allowed to organize a special dig at Megiddo specifically to find Shoshenk's cartouche in a verifiable strata.
@@sergemck Get over yourself.

Long story short: "Let's you and him fight, and if you don't you're a poopy-pants."
This is not how academic discourse works.
Serge : politeness and civility are not optional.
Cline sure likes to hear himself talk......
