• 00:46 Myles: SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:47 TO ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:48 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 00:49 Katharine: AND I'M
• 00:50 KATHARINE WEISS AND WE WANT TO
• 00:51 WELCOME YOU BACK TO THIS SERIES,
• 00:53 "THE STONES CRY OUT."
• 00:55 THIS SERIES WAS ORIGINALLY
• 00:56 PRODUCED IN THE 1990s AND
• 00:58 IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING SERIES
• 01:00 THAT WE WANTED TO BRING IT
• 01:02 BACK TO YOU, OUR VIEWERS,
• 01:03 TO DECLARE GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY
• 01:06 IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
• 01:07 THAT HE NOT ONLY IS LORD OF ALL,
• 01:10 BUT HE IS SIGNING OFF,
• 01:11 LITERALLY ON THE ROCKS,
• 01:13 HE'S SAYING, "DAVID WAS HERE,
• 01:15 PONTIUS PILATE WAS HERE."
• 01:17 IT'S SO EXCITING
• 01:18 TO BRING THIS BACK.
• 01:19 Myles: IT'S REALLY WELL SAID.
• 01:20 IT'S LIKE A REMIX, BUT
• 01:21 REALLY BRINGING INTO IT MORE OF
• 01:23 A PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT'S GONE ON
• 01:25 SINCE THAT TIME AND ALSO SEEING
• 01:27 THAT GOD IS NOT ONLY SPIRITUALLY
• 01:29 CAUSING US TO CRY OUT,
• 01:30 AS THE DISCIPLES DID
• 01:31 WHEN JESUS CAME INTO JERUSALEM,
• 01:34 BUT HE SAID THAT THE VERY STONES
• 01:35 WOULD CRY OUT, AND ALL CREATION
• 01:37 DECLARES THE GLORY OF GOD.
• 01:39 WE'RE SEEING THAT AS ARCHAEOLOGY
• 01:40 VERIFIES THE REALITY
• 01:42 OF THE BIBLE AND
• 01:43 THE JEWISH PRESENCE IN THE LAND.
• 01:44 AND, BOY, THAT'S UNDER DISPUTE
• 01:45 TODAY, ISN'T IT?
• 01:46 Katharine: RIGHT...
• 01:48 AS PEOPLE TODAY TRY TO ERASE
• 01:50 EVEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD,
• 01:51 GOD IS SAYING, "I AM THE SAME,
• 01:54 YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.
• 01:55 AND WE THANK YOU
• 01:57 FOR STANDING WITH ISRAEL.
• 01:58 WE THANK YOU FOR STANDING
• 01:59 WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 02:00 WE THANK YOU FOR STANDING
• 02:02 WITH THE VOICE OF THE LORD
• 02:03 THAT'S CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
• 02:04 "PREPARE YE THE WAY
• 02:05 OF THE LORD."
• 02:06 Myles: ABSOLUTELY.
• 02:07 WE'RE LIVING IN THAT DAY
• 02:08 WHEN WE'RE LOOKING TOWARDS
• 02:09 THE COMING OF THE LORD.
• 02:11 YOU KNOW, A GOOD REMINDER
• 02:12 OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN ISRAEL
• 02:14 IS TO RECEIVE
• 02:15 OUR RESOURCE THIS WEEK, WHICH IS
• 02:17 A JERUSALEM JOURNEYSTONE.
• 02:19 IT'S A REALLY GOOD WAY
• 02:20 OF REMINDING YOURSELF TO PRAY
• 02:22 FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM,
• 02:23 TO REMEMBER THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 02:25 TO REMEMBER TO LOVE
• 02:27 WHAT GOD LOVES.
• 02:28 YOU CAN RECEIVE THIS BY ITSELF
• 02:29 OR AS PART OF
• 02:31 OUR "PRO-ISRAEL" PACKAGE,
• 02:32 WHICH YOU'LL LEARN MORE ABOUT
• 02:33 LATER IN THE SHOW.
• 02:34 SO KNOW WE WANT TO GO TO
• 02:36 JERUSALEM TO SEE DR. TOM McCALL
• 02:39 INTERVIEWING PROFESSOR MAZAR
• 02:41 AT BEIT SHEAN.
• 02:42 LET'S GO TO ISRAEL.
• 02:47 Tom: BEIT SHEAN IS LOCATED
• 02:48 JUST WEST OF THE JORDAN RIVER,
• 02:49 ABOUT 20 MILES
• 02:50 SOUTH OF THE SEA OF GALILEE,
• 02:52 KNOWN AS SCYTHOPOLIS
• 02:54 DURING THE GRECO-ROMAN PERIOD,
• 02:55 IT WAS A MEMBER
• 02:57 OF THE DECAPOLIS: A LEAGUE
• 02:58 OF 10 GREEK CITIES CREATED
• 03:00 AFTER THE ROMAN GENERAL POMPEY
• 03:02 CONQUERED PALESTINE IN 63 B.C.
• 03:05 IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 4
• 03:06 WE'RE TOLD:
• 03:14 MARK CHAPTER 5 RELATES HOW
• 03:15 A DEMON-POSSESSED MAN
• 03:17 AFTER BEING HEALED BY CHRIST...
• 03:26 THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RUINS
• 03:27 OF BEIT SHEAN
• 03:28 ARE IN TWO DISTINCT LOCATIONS.
• 03:29 THE LOWER CITY WAS ESTABLISHED
• 03:31 DURING THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD
• 03:32 AROUND THE 3rd CENTURY B.C.
• 03:34 THE REMAINS
• 03:35 OF THIS ONCE-MAGNIFICENT CITY
• 03:37 INCLUDE EXTRAORDINARY
• 03:39 COLONNADED STREETS,
• 03:41 TEMPLES, ROMAN BATHS
• 03:43 AND AN IMPOSING THEATRE.
• 03:45 TEL BEIT SHEAN,
• 03:46 THE ORIGINAL LOCATION
• 03:47 OF THE INHABITANTS HERE,
• 03:49 LIES ATOP THIS PROMINENT HILL.
• 03:51 "TEL" IS A TERM
• 03:52 USED TO DESCRIBE
• 03:53 THE REMAINING ARTIFICIAL MOUND
• 03:55 THAT HAS RESULTED
• 03:57 FROM THOUSANDS OF YEARS
• 03:58 OF DESTRUCTION AND REBUILDING
• 03:59 ON TOP OF THE SAME AREA.
• 04:02 IT IS HERE
• 04:03 THAT PROFESSOR AMICHAI MAZAR,
• 04:05 AN ISRAELI ARCHAEOLOGIST WITH
• 04:06 OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE,
• 04:08 UNEARTHED THE STONES
• 04:10 AND STRUCTURES WHICH HELPED TO
• 04:11 VALIDATE THE BIBLICAL RECORD.
• 04:14 DR. MAZAR, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH
• 04:16 THERE ARE A LOT OF STRATA
• 04:17 OF OCCUPATION THAT WE SEE
• 04:19 IN FRONT OF US HERE.
• 04:21 CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE VARIOUS
• 04:22 BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE AND WHAT
• 04:23 TIME PERIOD THEY ARE LOCATED IN?
• 04:25 Amichai: YES, WE ARE NOW SITTING
• 04:26 ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNT
• 04:27 OF BEIT SHEAN.
• 04:28 AND HERE, JUST LAST SUMMER,
• 04:29 WE EXCAVATED BUILDINGS
• 04:31 FROM QUITE INTERESTING PERIODS
• 04:33 IN THE HISTORY OF THIS PLACE.
• 04:34 THESE REMAINS HERE,
• 04:37 THIS PINK, MUD-BRICK BUILDING,
• 04:39 CAN BE VERY WELL DATED
• 04:41 TO THE TIME OF SOLOMON,
• 04:43 AT 10th CENTURY B.C.
• 04:44 ITS PART OF A LARGER BUILDING,
• 04:47 MUCH LARGER PART OF IT WAS
• 04:48 EXCAVATED BACK IN 1925-26 BY
• 04:51 THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
• 04:52 WE FOUND ANOTHER BUILDING ON
• 04:53 THE OTHER SIDE OF OUR EXCAVATION
• 04:55 AREA FROM THE SAME PERIOD.
• 04:57 JUST BELOW IT, YOU SEE
• 04:58 IN THE LOWER LEVEL, WE HAVE THIS
• 04:59 PAVEMENT MADE OF BASALT STONES.
• 05:01 THIS PAVEMENT AND THE ATTACHED
• 05:03 WALL, THIS WALL HERE,
• 05:05 ARE RELATED TO THE TIME OF SAUL,
• 05:07 11th CENTURY B.C.
• 05:09 NOW, WE KNOW FROM THE BIBLE,
• 05:10 THAT AFTER THE BATTLE IN GILBOA
• 05:12 THE BODY OF SAUL
• 05:15 AND HIS THREE SONS
• 05:16 WAS HANGED BY THE PHILISTINES
• 05:17 ON THE WALL OF BEIT SHEAN.
• 05:19 WE DIDN'T FIND
• 05:20 THE FORTIFICATION WALLS,
• 05:21 THEY WERE COMPLETELY ERODED AWAY
• 05:22 BUT THIS BUILDING IS THE ONLY
• 05:24 REMAINS, THAT WE HAVE UP TO NOW,
• 05:26 THAT CAN BE CLEARLY DATED
• 05:27 TO THE TIME OF KING SAUL,
• 05:29 AND WE MAY SAY THAT
• 05:31 HERE IS A PART OF THIS TOWN
• 05:33 WHICH WAS OCCUPIED BY CANAANITES
• 05:36 AND PERHAPS TAKEN OVER
• 05:38 BY THE PHILISTINES FOR
• 05:39 A SHORT WHILE DURING THIS TIME.
• 05:42 Tom: NOW JUST TO ORIENT US,
• 05:44 THE MOUNTAINS WE SEE
• 05:45 IN THE BACKGROUND,
• 05:47 CAN YOU INFORM US WHAT THEY ARE
• 05:49 AND THE RELATIONSHIP TO
• 05:50 THE STORY OF SAUL AND HIS SONS?
• 05:53 Amichai: WELL, THE RIDGE,
• 05:54 WHICH YOU SEE JUST BEHIND US...
• 05:56 THIS IS THE MOUNT GILBOA.
• 05:58 ACCORDING TO THE BOOK OF JUDGES,
• 06:00 THE BATTLE BETWEEN
• 06:01 THE PHILISTINES WHO ARRIVED
• 06:02 FROM PHILISTIA,
• 06:04 FROM SOUTH OF TEL AVIV AREA,
• 06:05 YOU KNOW, THE SOUTHERN
• 06:06 COASTAL PLAIN, THEY ARRIVED
• 06:07 TO HERE AND THE BATTLE WAS,
• 06:09 ACCORDING TO THIS STORY,
• 06:10 SOMEWHERE ON THIS MOUNTAIN
• 06:11 OR NEXT TO THIS MOUNTAIN.
• 06:13 Zola: AS MENTIONED EARLIER,
• 06:14 KING SAUL'S DEFEAT
• 06:15 IS CHRONICLED IN I SAMUEL 31,
• 06:39 PROFESSOR MAZAR
• 06:40 CONTINUES THE STORY...
• 06:41 Amichai: NOW, THE PHILISTINES,
• 06:42 ACCORDING TO THE STORY,
• 06:43 BROUGHT THE BODIES
• 06:44 TO THIS TOWN, BEIT SHEAN,
• 06:46 AND DURING THE NIGHT, THE
• 06:48 ISRAELITES FROM TRANS JORDAN,
• 06:49 FROM THE CITY OF RAMOTH GILEAD,
• 06:52 THEY CROSSED THE JORDAN,
• 06:53 THEY CAME TO HERE,
• 06:54 THEY STOLE THE BODIES, THEY
• 06:55 BROUGHT THEM TO RAMOTH GILEAD
• 06:57 WHERE THEY BURNED THEM
• 06:58 AND THEY BURIED THEM.
• 07:00 SO THIS IS A NICE STORY,
• 07:01 BECAUSE WE CAN SEE FROM HERE
• 07:02 WHERE RAMOTH GILEAD WAS LOCATED.
• 07:04 IT'S FURTHER TO THE EAST,
• 07:06 JUST BEYOND THE JORDAN, THESE
• 07:08 MOUNTAINS ON THE EASTERN SIDE.
• 07:10 IN THE LOWER LEVEL,
• 07:11 DOWN THERE BELOW,
• 07:13 AND UP HERE BEHIND US,
• 07:14 WE EXCAVATED BUILDINGS
• 07:16 FROM THE 12th CENTURY B.C.,
• 07:17 WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE TIME
• 07:19 OF THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT HERE.
• 07:21 FOR 300 YEARS,
• 07:22 BEIT SHEAN WAS THE STRONGHOLD
• 07:24 OF THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT
• 07:26 IN CANAAN.
• 07:27 THERE WAS AN EGYPTIAN
• 07:28 PHARAONIC OFFICIALS, ARMY UNITS,
• 07:32 WHICH THEY LIVED HERE
• 07:33 AND FROM HERE THEY DOMINATED
• 07:34 THE ENTIRE NORTHERN PART
• 07:36 OF ISRAEL.
• 07:37 AND THERE'S GOOD EVIDENCE
• 07:38 FOR THIS.
• 07:39 MONUMENTS WERE FOUND HERE,
• 07:41 STELE, CULTURE,
• 07:42 STATUES WHICH YOU CAN SEE
• 07:43 IN THE ROCKEFELLER MUSEUM?
• 07:45 AND WE ALSO FOUND SOME BUILDINGS
• 07:46 HERE FROM THE SAME PERIOD.
• 07:50 Tom: WE UNDERSTAND THAT SEVERAL
• 07:51 LAYERS OF DESTRUCTION HAD BEEN
• 07:55 FOUND AT BEIT SHEAN HERE,
• 07:57 AND THAT THERE MAY BE EVIDENCE
• 07:59 OF THE ASSYRIAN DESTRUCTION OF
• 08:01 THE CITY THAT'S BEEN UNCOVERED.
• 08:03 CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT?
• 08:05 Amichai: YEAH, IN SUCH AS SITE,
• 08:06 LIKE BEIT SHEAN, WHERE WE HAVE
• 08:07 ABOUT 22 DIFFERENT STRUCTURES,
• 08:08 DIFFERENT CITIES,
• 08:10 BUILT ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER
• 08:11 DURING THE AGES.
• 08:12 OF COURSE, IN SEVERAL CASES,
• 08:13 WE HAVE VIOLENT DESTRUCTIONS.
• 08:15 WE FOUND VIOLENT DESTRUCTIONS
• 08:16 IN SEVERAL CASES HERE.
• 08:18 ONE OF THE CASES IS DOWN HERE
• 08:20 WHERE WE EXCAVATED THE END
• 08:22 OF THE EGYPTIAN ADMINISTRATION
• 08:26 TIME, 12th CENTURY B.C.,
• 08:28 THE CITY WAS DESTROYED
• 08:29 BY A VERY HEAVY FIRE.
• 08:30 WE DON'T KNOW WHO CAUSED
• 08:31 THIS DESTRUCTION.
• 08:32 ANOTHER CASE IS THE END
• 08:34 OF THE SOLOMONIC CITY,
• 08:35 ALSO, A DESTRUCTION BY FIRE.
• 08:37 HERE WE HAVE AN ADDRESSEE.
• 08:38 WE KNOW THAT
• 08:40 THE PHARAOH SHISHAK, A PHARAOH
• 08:41 INVADED THIS COUNTRY FIVE YEARS
• 08:45 AFTER THE DEATH OF SOLOMON.
• 08:46 IT IS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE.
• 08:47 IT IS MENTIONED IN EGYPTIAN
• 08:48 DOCUMENTS FOUND IN EGYPT.
• 08:49 AND WE FOUND
• 08:50 THE DESTRUCTION LEVEL HERE.
• 08:51 SO HERE WE HAVE, AGAIN,
• 08:53 A KIND OF FITTING TOGETHER
• 08:54 OF THE BIBLE,
• 08:55 THE EGYPTIAN DOCUMENTS,
• 08:56 AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS.
• 08:58 Zola: THE INVASION
• 08:59 THAT DR. MAZAR ALLUDES TO
• 09:00 IS FOUND IN II CHRONICLES 12,
• 09:28 ALTHOUGH NOT SPECIFICALLY
• 09:29 MENTIONED, IT IS DR. MAZAR'S
• 09:30 CONTENTION THAT BEIT SHEAN ALSO
• 09:32 WAS OVERTAKEN AT THIS TIME.
• 09:34 A THIRD LAYER OF DESTRUCTION
• 09:36 REPRESENTING THE ASSYRIAN
• 09:37 INVASION OF ISRAEL
• 09:38 WAS ALSO FOUND.
• 09:40 PROFESSOR MAZAR
• 09:41 EXPLAINS THE SITE.
• 09:42 Amichai: EVENTUALLY, DOWN HERE,
• 09:43 WE REACHED A BUILDING,
• 09:45 A VERY INTERESTING BUILDING
• 09:46 WHICH WAS DESTROYED BY
• 09:48 VERY HEAVY FIRE, CONFLAGRATION.
• 09:50 WE FOUND HERE BURNT BEAMS,
• 09:52 A LOT OF ASH,
• 09:54 A LOT OF BROKEN VESSELS,
• 09:55 BROKEN POTTERY, METAL OBJECTS,
• 09:58 LOOM WEIGHTS, ETC.
• 10:00 THIS BUILDING WAS DESTROYED
• 10:02 BY THE ASSYRIAN TROOPS
• 10:04 IN THE YEAR 732 B.C.
• 10:07 THIS MARKS THE END
• 10:08 OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL,
• 10:10 NORTHERN KINGDOM OF ISRAEL,
• 10:12 THE TEN TRIBES,
• 10:13 THE TEN LOST TRIBES.
• 10:15 Zola: THE ASSYRIAN INVASION
• 10:17 IS RECOUNTED IN II KINGS 15,
• 10:33 HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
• 10:35 HOW WE CAN RELATE A PARTICULAR
• 10:37 DESTRUCTION LAYER WITH AN EVENT
• 10:39 KNOWN TO US FROM THE BIBLE.
• 10:43 LEAVING TEL BEIT SHEAN,
• 10:44 WE ARRIVE AT ANOTHER CITY
• 10:45 WHICH PROFESSOR MAZAR PLANS
• 10:47 TO SPEND THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS
• 10:49 SYSTEMATICALLY RECOVERING.
• 10:50 TEL RECHOV,
• 10:52 NOW A MUTE GRASS-COVERED MOUND
• 10:53 RISING FROM THE JORDAN RIVER
• 10:55 VALLEY, WILL SOON BEGIN TO SPEW
• 10:58 A FURY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA
• 10:59 COVERING OVER 4,000 YEARS
• 11:01 OF HISTORY.
• 11:03 LOCATED SOUTH AND EAST
• 11:05 OF BEIT SHEAN,
• 11:06 TEL RECHOV EXCAVATIONS WILL
• 11:07 BEGIN IN THE SUMMER OF 1997.
• 11:10 AN EXCITED TEAM
• 11:11 OF MAZAR'S STUDENTS DO
• 11:13 A PRELIMINARY TOPSOIL SURVEY.
• 11:15 THEIR GOAL IS TO COLLECT SAMPLE
• 11:17 ARTIFACTS FROM ACROSS THE TEL
• 11:19 WHICH, IN TURN, WILL HELP
• 11:20 PINPOINT THE BEST PLACES
• 11:21 FOR THEM TO DIG.
• 11:23 MAZAR AND HIS TEAM
• 11:24 ARE MOST INTERESTED
• 11:25 IN THE CITY'S EARLIEST HISTORY
• 11:27 AROUND THE TIME OF KING DAVID
• 11:29 AND THE EVEN EARLIER TIMES
• 11:30 OF THE JUDGES AND CANAANITES.
• 11:33 BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
• 11:34 EXCAVATE THE ENTIRE 30-ACRE TEL
• 11:37 PROFESSOR MAZAR EXPLAINS THE
• 11:38 CRITICAL ROLE POTTERY PLAYS
• 11:40 IN DECIDING WHERE TO DISCOVER.
• 11:42 Amichai: WE HAVE...
• 11:44 THE FIRST HARVEST OF POTTERY
• 11:45 FROM THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF
• 11:47 COLLECTING POTTERY ON THE MOUND.
• 11:49 AND THIS IS THE HIGHEST POINT
• 11:50 SO WE GET THE LATEST PERIODS.
• 11:52 AND THE LATEST PERIOD HERE,
• 11:54 YOU SEE THIS GREEN POTTERY HERE?
• 11:56 THIS IS MEDIEVAL.
• 11:57 WE HAVE SOME MEDIEVAL OCCUPATION
• 11:59 ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNT...
• 12:00 POST CRUSADER, THAT'S
• 12:01 MAYBE 13th, 14th CENTURY A.D.,
• 12:03 THE MAMLUK PERIOD,
• 12:05 BEFORE THE OTTOMANS
• 12:06 CONQUERED THE COUNTRY.
• 12:07 YOU SEE THESE GREEN,
• 12:08 GLAZED POTTERY,
• 12:09 THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT,
• 12:11 REALLY, YOU SEE HERE?
• 12:13 IT'S TOO LATE FOR US.
• 12:14 WE WANT EARLIER PERIODS.
• 12:15 BUT HERE WE CAN SEE POTTERY
• 12:16 FROM THE THIRD MILLENNIUM B.C.,
• 12:18 EARLY BRONZE AGE, THIS ONE.
• 12:20 AND THIS ONE, PERHAPS,
• 12:22 IS FROM THE TIME OF THE
• 12:23 ISRAELITE MONARCHY, IRON AGE,
• 12:25 I THINK SO, THIS LITTLE SHARD.
• 12:27 Zola: STUDENTS CONTINUE TO PICK
• 12:28 THE SURFACE OF THE MOUND
• 12:29 FOR "TEL" TALE SIGNS
• 12:31 THAT WILL UNLOCK THE HISTORY
• 12:33 OF THE NUMEROUS CIVILIZATIONS
• 12:34 THAT LAY BELOW.
• 12:36 UNLIKE A BOOK, YOU CAN
• 12:37 JUDGE A TEL BY ITS COVER.
• 12:40 Amichai: SUCH POTTERY SHARDS
• 12:41 CAN GIVE US A CLUE
• 12:42 AS TO THE HISTORY OF OCCUPATION
• 12:44 IN THIS PARTICULAR SPOT.
• 12:45 SO WE CAN PLAN OUR EXCAVATION,
• 12:46 IF WE HAVE THIS PERIOD HERE
• 12:49 AND OTHER PERIODS THERE
• 12:50 ON THE OTHER PART OF THE MOUND,
• 12:51 WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLAN
• 12:52 TO DESIGN OUR PROGRAM
• 12:54 SO THAT IT WILL FIT OUR NEEDS
• 12:55 AND OUR GOALS.
• 12:57 POTTERY IS A KIND OF A TEXT,
• 12:59 YOU KNOW?
• 13:00 THE POTTERY TELLS YOU ABOUT
• 13:02 CHRONOLOGY DATES, BECAUSE THE
• 13:03 STYLE OF POTTERY CHANGED DURING
• 13:05 THE PERIODS, DURING THE AGES.
• 13:07 AND WE CAN USE POTTERY
• 13:09 TO DATE BUILDINGS, STRATA
• 13:11 OUR OCCUPATION LAYERS, ETC.
• 13:13 SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF I LOOK
• 13:14 ON SUCH A SHARD I CAN SAY,
• 13:16 MORE OR LESS, IF IT IS FROM
• 13:18 THE 13th, 14th CENTURY A.D.
• 13:21 THAT MEANS
• 13:22 ABOUT 600-700 YEARS AGO, OKAY,
• 13:25 MAMLUK PERIOD.
• 13:27 THAT'S AFTER THE CRUSADERS.
• 13:28 BUT WHEN I LOOK ON SUCH
• 13:30 A SHARD--THIS ONE--EVEN THOUGH
• 13:32 IT IS NOT A VERY DIAGNOSTIC
• 13:34 SHARD, NOT A VERY GOOD ONE,
• 13:35 BECAUSE IT'S JUST
• 13:36 A BROKEN FRAGMENT OF A JAR.
• 13:37 IT HAS NO SHAPE, NO LEAN,
• 13:39 NO BASE, NOTHING.
• 13:40 STILL THE MATERIAL, THE CLAY,
• 13:43 THE WAY, THE WEAR,
• 13:44 HOW THIS FABRIC WAS MADE,
• 13:46 TELLS ME THAT THIS COULD BE
• 13:48 THIRD MILLENNIUM B.C.,
• 13:50 ABOUT 5,000 YEARS AGO.
• 13:52 Zola: WITH THE HELP
• 13:53 OF TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
• 13:54 AND AREA PHOTOGRAPHS,
• 13:56 THREE SITES ON THE MOUND
• 13:57 HAVE BEEN TENTATIVELY CHOSEN.
• 13:59 A GRID SYSTEM WILL DIVIDE THE
• 14:00 TEL INTO 5 x 5 METER SECTIONS.
• 14:03 SOME 65 STUDENTS AND VOLUNTEERS
• 14:05 WILL BE RECRUITED
• 14:07 TO HELP METICULOUSLY UNEARTH
• 14:08 AND RECORD THEIR FINDINGS.
• 14:10 PROFESSOR MAZAR AND THEIR TEAM
• 14:12 GET ONE CHANCE
• 14:13 TO DO THIS RIGHT.
• 14:14 LIKE A TWO-EDGED SWORD,
• 14:15 ARCHAEOLOGY NOT ONLY
• 14:17 CUTS THROUGH THE EARTH, HELPING
• 14:18 TO PIECE TOGETHER HISTORY,
• 14:20 BUT IT ALSO DESTROYS THE SITE.
• 14:22 Amichai: ARCHAEOLOGY'S
• 14:23 A DESTRUCTIVE PROFESSION.
• 14:24 WE DESTROY
• 14:25 WHEN WE DIG SOMETHING.
• 14:26 NO ONE CAN DIG IT AGAIN.
• 14:27 SO WE HAVE TO RECORD VERY WELL
• 14:28 EVERYTHING THAT WE DO,
• 14:29 ON PAPER AND PHOTOGRAPHY, ETC.,
• 14:31 AND WE HOPE THAT BY CONDUCTING
• 14:35 SIX OR SEVEN SEASONS,
• 14:36 EACH ONE SIX WEEKS,
• 14:38 WE SHOULD BE ABLE
• 14:39 TO TELL SOMETHING ABOUT
• 14:40 THE HISTORY OF THIS SITE
• 14:41 AND REALLY KNOW MORE ABOUT
• 14:43 ANCIENT CULTURES IN THIS REGION.
• 14:46 Zola: WE ASKED PROFESSOR MAZAR,
• 14:47 IF ONE PUTS HIS FAITH IN THE
• 14:49 BIBLE, CAN BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY
• 14:51 HELP INCREASE THAT FAITH?
• 14:53 Amichai: ARCHAEOLOGISTS
• 14:54 IN THIS COUNTRY TEND TO SAY,
• 14:55 USUALLY, THAT THEY DON'T DIG
• 14:57 IN ORDER TO PROVE THE BIBLE.
• 14:58 THIS IS NOT THE GOAL OF
• 14:59 ARCHAEOLOGY, TO PROVE THE BIBLE.
• 15:02 IT'S A BY-PRODUCT
• 15:03 OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH.
• 15:04 THAT MEANS, IF WE CAN DIG AND
• 15:06 ILLUSTRATE OR PROVE SOMETHING
• 15:09 THAT IS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE,
• 15:10 WE ARE VERY HAPPY.
• 15:12 BUT NOT ALWAYS IT OCCURS
• 15:14 AND IT'S NOT MAJOR GOAL,
• 15:15 BECAUSE, IN OUR COUNTRY, WE HAVE
• 15:19 MANY PERIODS OF OCCUPATION,
• 15:21 EVEN BEFORE THE BIBLICAL PERIOD
• 15:23 AND AFTER THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 15:24 PERIOD AND AFTER
• 15:25 THE NEW TESTAMENT PERIOD
• 15:26 AS WELL.
• 15:27 WE STUDY ALL OF THEM.
• 15:28 NOW, WHEN WE CAN REFER TO
• 15:30 THE TEXT, TO THE BIBLICAL TEXT,
• 15:32 AND ILLUSTRATE IT,
• 15:35 IT'S WONDERFUL.

• 19:21 SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO
• 19:23 ON LOCATION WITH TOM McCALL
• 19:25 IN PELLA, JORDAN.
• 19:28 Tom: MUCH OF THE ANCIENT RUINS
• 19:29 OF PELLA REMAIN.
• 19:31 ITS ONLY INHABITANTS ARE
• 19:33 HERDS OF SHEEP THAT MOVE LAZILY
• 19:35 THROUGH THE RUINS.
• 19:37 WE BEGAN OUR TOUR
• 19:38 AMONG THE REMAINS OF THE
• 19:39 ONCE-MAGNIFICENT ROMAN BASILICA
• 19:42 USED ORIGINALLY
• 19:43 AS A COURT OF LAW
• 19:44 AND PUBLIC MEETING PLACE.
• 19:46 EARLY CHRISTIANS ADAPTED THEM
• 19:48 FOR THEIR CHURCHES.
• 19:50 Abbas Abed: WE ARE IN THE MAIN
• 19:52 CHURCH OF THE CITY OF PELLA.
• 19:53 AND THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE
• 19:55 "OLD ROMAN BASILICA" AND IT'S
• 19:58 THE BASILICA OF THE BYZANTINE,
• 20:03 BASILICA, LIKE IN THE ROMAN TIME
• 20:05 AND IT BECAME THE CHURCH
• 20:07 WHICH IS THE MAIN BASILICA
• 20:09 OF THE CITY OF PELLA.
• 20:12 Tom: THAT'S WHAT THESE PILLARS
• 20:13 ARE...FROM THAT ERA?
• 20:16 Abbas: THIS GOES BACK
• 20:17 TO THE CHRISTIAN ERA.
• 20:18 THE BIG PILLARS OVER THERE,
• 20:20 THEY GO BACK TO THE ROMAN ERA.
• 20:22 Tom: AND WHAT ABOUT
• 20:23 THIS FALLEN STRUCTURE HERE THAT
• 20:28 LOOKS LIKE AN ARCH OR SOMETHING?
• 20:30 Abbas: WELL, ACTUALLY, THIS IS
• 20:31 THE ARCH GATE OF THE ENTRANCE
• 20:32 OF THE BASILICA, WHICH IS
• 20:33 FROM THIS SIDE HERE, ACTUALLY.
• 20:36 Tom: SO THAT WAS THE MAIN
• 20:37 ENTRANCE INTO THE BASILICA.
• 20:38 Abbas: THE MAIN ENTRANCE
• 20:40 FACING THE WEST,
• 20:42 COMING INSIDE THE CITY,
• 20:44 INSIDE THE CHURCH--EXCUSE ME--
• 20:45 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE APSE
• 20:47 OF CHURCH ON THE EASTERN SIDE
• 20:51 OF THE CHURCH.
• 20:53 Zola: THE APSE, SHOWN HERE,
• 20:55 WAS THE SEMI-CIRCULAR END
• 20:56 OF THE BUILDING AND WAS EASILY
• 20:58 IDENTIFIED IN CHURCHES
• 20:59 OF THE BYZANTINE ERA.
• 21:01 ALSO DISCOVERED HERE
• 21:02 WAS AN ANCIENT ROMAN THEATRE
• 21:03 AND AQUEDUCT, AS WELL AS THE
• 21:05 MOST ANCIENT PART OF THE CITY.
• 21:07 THESE RUINS DATE FROM THE TIME
• 21:09 OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL,
• 21:11 SOME 3,000 YEARS AGO.
• 21:13 Abbas: THE AUSTRALIAN MISSION,
• 21:14 WHICH IS EXCAVATING UP THERE,
• 21:16 ACTUALLY, EXCAVATING IN
• 21:17 THE IRON AND THE BRONZE AGES.
• 21:20 Tom: THIS WAS LIKE DURING THE
• 21:21 TIME OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL
• 21:26 AND THE JUDGES
• 21:28 AND THAT TIME PERIOD.
• 21:30 Abbas: THAT'S RIGHT,
• 21:31 WHICH STARTS FROM THE
• 21:32 12th CENTURY B.C., ALL THE WAY
• 21:34 TO THE HELLENISTIC TIME,
• 21:36 332 B.C.
• 21:39 Zola: PELLA, LATER CONQUERED
• 21:40 BY THE ROMANS, FIGURED GREATLY
• 21:42 IN EARLY CHURCH HISTORY.
• 21:44 MESSIANIC BELIEVERS SEEKING
• 21:45 SHELTER FROM PERSECUTION
• 21:46 FOUND THEIR WAY HERE.
• 21:48 Abbas: WELL, THEY CAME MOSTLY
• 21:49 FROM JERUSALEM, ACTUALLY.
• 21:50 Tom: SO THEY CAME FROM
• 21:51 JERUSALEM IN THE FIRST CENTURY,
• 21:53 SOMETHING BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION
• 21:54 OF THE TEMPLE THERE.
• 21:55 Abbas: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:56 Tom: AND THIS WAS ONE OF
• 21:58 THE PLACES THEY CAME FOR REFUGE.
• 22:00 WHAT WAS LIFE LIKE FOR THEM
• 22:02 WHEN THEY CAME TO PELLA.
• 22:03 Abbas: YOU TALK ABOUT
• 22:04 A VERY LIVING CITY AT THE TIME.
• 22:07 PEOPLE USED TO LIVE HERE.
• 22:09 LIKE I TOLD YOU, THERE IS--WE
• 22:11 ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IRON AGE,
• 22:12 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
• 22:13 THE BRONZE AGE, WE ARE TALKING
• 22:14 ABOUT ROMANS BEFORE THEM, OKAY?
• 22:16 AND DURING THE TIME OF ROMANS,
• 22:18 THEY HAD COME OVER HERE,
• 22:19 SO THE CITY WAS SO FLOURISHED,
• 22:20 ACTUALLY, AND ALL THESE RUINS
• 22:22 WHICH WE SEE AROUND US,
• 22:23 THEY WERE FLOURISHING,
• 22:25 THEY WERE IN THEIR GOLDEN TIME.
• 22:27 Tom: AND THROUGH THIS CITY,
• 22:28 JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES
• 22:30 HAD EARLIER COME
• 22:31 AND WALKED THROUGH HERE ON THEIR
• 22:34 WAY TO JERICHO AND JERUSALEM.
• 22:36 Abbas: AND THIS WAS ONE OF
• 22:38 THE 10 CITIES OF THE DECAPOLIS,
• 22:40 THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT
• 22:41 ROMAN CITIES WHICH WERE BUILT,
• 22:44 AND MOST OF THEM
• 22:45 WERE IN JORDAN, ACTUALLY.
• 22:46 Tom: SO IT WAS VERY NATURAL FOR
• 22:47 THE CHRISTIANS FROM JERUSALEM
• 22:50 TO FIND THEIR WAY HERE
• 22:51 AND SETTLE HERE
• 22:53 AND DEVELOP THEIR TRADITION.
• 22:54 Abbas: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 22:56 I BELIEVE THAT WE HAD MANY
• 22:58 CHRISTIANS WHO USED TO LIVE HERE
• 22:59 SECRETLY IN THIS CITY
• 23:02 AND THOSE HAD JOINED THEM.
• 23:04 Tom: AND LATER,
• 23:05 WHEN CHRISTIANITY
• 23:06 BECAME A LEGAL RELIGION,
• 23:08 THEN THEY WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP
• 23:10 THE CHURCH BUILDINGS.
• 23:11 Abbas: THEY STARTED
• 23:12 RIGHT AWAY BUILDING,
• 23:13 RAISING UP THEIR CHURCHES
• 23:15 ALL AROUND THE CITY.
• 23:17 Zola: YOSSI ASHKENAZI,
• 23:18 A MESSIANIC BELIEVER WHO'S BEEN
• 23:19 FEATURED ON OUR PROGRAM BEFORE,
• 23:21 HAS TAKEN A SPECIAL INTEREST
• 23:23 IN PELLA AND THE PLIGHT
• 23:24 OF THE EARLY BELIEVERS.
• 23:26 Yossi Ashkenazi: PELLA,
• 23:27 OR PEHEL,
• 23:29 BECAME A VERY IMPORTANT CITY
• 23:33 AFTER THE DESTRUCTION
• 23:35 OF THE SECOND TEMPLE, THROUGH
• 23:38 THE TIME OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 23:41 WHO BELIEVED IN JESUS,
• 23:43 WHO RAN AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE
• 23:46 OF THE ROMANS AND THE PHARISEES
• 23:49 FROM JERUSALEM.
• 23:51 THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 23:52 ACTUALLY IN JERUSALEM,
• 23:54 STARTED TO EXECUTE
• 23:56 THESE JEWISH BELIEVERS
• 23:58 WHO BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST,
• 24:00 AND MANY, MANY OF THEM RAN AWAY
• 24:02 FROM JERUSALEM.
• 24:03 SOME OF THEM WENT TO QUMRAN,
• 24:06 WHICH THEY FOUND A SHELTER
• 24:08 IN THE DESERT,
• 24:09 LIKE MANY OTHER REFUGEES.
• 24:10 AND THERE IS ANOTHER CITY
• 24:12 WHICH IS AT THE OTHER SIDE
• 24:14 OF THE JORDAN RIVER,
• 24:15 WHICH MEETS ON THE EAST COAST
• 24:16 OF THE JORDAN RIVER, WHICH
• 24:18 THEY FOUND A REFUGE PLACE,
• 24:21 HUNDREDS OF HUNDREDS
• 24:22 OF THOSE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 24:24 FOR ME, PARTICULARLY,
• 24:25 AS A JEWISH BELIEVER,
• 24:26 IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT
• 24:28 TO UNDERSTAND
• 24:29 WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE JEWS
• 24:31 WHO BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST,
• 24:32 WHO BELIEVED IN THE LORD
• 24:34 AND TO RUN AWAY FROM THE
• 24:36 PRESSURE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 24:37 IN JERUSALEM.
• 24:38 THE PROPHECY OF JESUS
• 24:40 IN THAT TIME WAS SO IMPORTANT,
• 24:41 SO HIGH, THAT THE JEWS BELIEVED
• 24:43 VERY MUCH IN THE MESSIAH.
• 24:45 AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS
• 24:47 WHY THE JEWS LEFT JERUSALEM,
• 24:49 BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T STAY,
• 24:50 BECAUSE OF THE JEWISH AND
• 24:53 THE ROMAN PRESSURE IN JERUSALEM.
