Excellent lecture and much needed among our youth who are inundated with an anti-intellectual a-historicism and live in an age who are ignorant of Old Testament history and all history.
If the Philistine temple had pillars ten feet apart Samson had really long arms, or the temple Samson brought down had pillars in the four to five foot range. Is it possible, when speaking of the two pillars, could it be referring to the two main supports of the temple where the greatest amount of mass was centered?
I wonder if Dr Currid still holds the same view of the Mt Ebal curse tablet now it's been published and almost universally panned. But apart from that one questionable point, this was a really good overview of what we can realistically expect from Biblical Archaeology.

What is the music that plays, before the start. It beautiful!
I agree! It sounds like “Veni Domine” from RC Sproul & Jeff Lippencott’s album “Saints of Zion.”

At about 43 minutes in, the text of the lecture on screen says 15550 where the speaker says 1550
