Produktbeschreibung

In this classic work, the eminent archeologist recounts his historic excavations and the significant Biblical findings they revealed.

French archeologist André Parrot led some of the most important digs of the twentieth century. In 1933, he began excavations on the right bank of the Euphrates River in present-day Syria. Uncovering numerous artifacts and architecture, he was able to identify the site as the Mesopotamian city of Mari. In this wide-ranging work, Parrot vividly chronicles his experiences, and shows how ancient discoveries can connect the biblical world to ours.

In accessible and engaging prose, Parrot also discusses the history of archeological excavation and many of the civilizations we have learned about through the practice. He also delves into the ways archeological discovery has helped shed light on the Bible itself.
