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

• 19:12 ON THE WALL.
• 19:13 AND WATCHMEN ON THE WALL

• 19:22 SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO
• 19:24 ON LOCATION WITH TOM McCALL
• 19:26 IN PELLA, JORDAN.
• 19:29 Tom: MUCH OF THE ANCIENT RUINS
• 19:30 OF PELLA REMAIN.
• 19:32 ITS ONLY INHABITANTS ARE
• 19:34 HERDS OF SHEEP THAT MOVE LAZILY
• 19:36 THROUGH THE RUINS.
• 19:38 WE BEGAN OUR TOUR
• 19:39 AMONG THE REMAINS OF THE
• 19:40 ONCE-MAGNIFICENT ROMAN BASILICA
• 19:43 USED ORIGINALLY
• 19:44 AS A COURT OF LAW
• 19:45 AND PUBLIC MEETING PLACE.
• 19:47 EARLY CHRISTIANS ADAPTED THEM
• 19:49 FOR THEIR CHURCHES.
• 19:51 Abbas Abed: WE ARE IN THE MAIN
• 19:53 CHURCH OF THE CITY OF PELLA.
• 19:54 AND THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE
• 19:56 "OLD ROMAN BASILICA" AND IT'S
• 19:59 THE BASILICA OF THE BYZANTINE,
• 20:04 BASILICA, LIKE IN THE ROMAN TIME
• 20:06 AND IT BECAME THE CHURCH
• 20:08 WHICH IS THE MAIN BASILICA
• 20:10 OF THE CITY OF PELLA.
• 20:13 Tom: THAT'S WHAT THESE PILLARS
• 20:14 ARE...FROM THAT ERA?
• 20:17 Abbas: THIS GOES BACK
• 20:18 TO THE CHRISTIAN ERA.
• 20:19 THE BIG PILLARS OVER THERE,
• 20:21 THEY GO BACK TO THE ROMAN ERA.
• 20:23 Tom: AND WHAT ABOUT
• 20:24 THIS FALLEN STRUCTURE HERE THAT
• 20:29 LOOKS LIKE AN ARCH OR SOMETHING?
• 20:31 Abbas: WELL, ACTUALLY, THIS IS
• 20:32 THE ARCH GATE OF THE ENTRANCE
• 20:33 OF THE BASILICA, WHICH IS
• 20:34 FROM THIS SIDE HERE, ACTUALLY.
• 20:37 Tom: SO THAT WAS THE MAIN
• 20:38 ENTRANCE INTO THE BASILICA.
• 20:39 Abbas: THE MAIN ENTRANCE
• 20:41 FACING THE WEST,
• 20:43 COMING INSIDE THE CITY,
• 20:45 INSIDE THE CHURCH--EXCUSE ME--
• 20:46 ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE APSE
• 20:48 OF CHURCH ON THE EASTERN SIDE
• 20:52 OF THE CHURCH.
• 20:54 Zola: THE APSE, SHOWN HERE,
• 20:56 WAS THE SEMI-CIRCULAR END
• 20:57 OF THE BUILDING AND WAS EASILY
• 20:59 IDENTIFIED IN CHURCHES
• 21:00 OF THE BYZANTINE ERA.
• 21:02 ALSO DISCOVERED HERE
• 21:03 WAS AN ANCIENT ROMAN THEATRE
• 21:04 AND AQUEDUCT, AS WELL AS THE
• 21:06 MOST ANCIENT PART OF THE CITY.
• 21:08 THESE RUINS DATE FROM THE TIME
• 21:10 OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL,
• 21:12 SOME 3,000 YEARS AGO.
• 21:14 Abbas: THE AUSTRALIAN MISSION,
• 21:15 WHICH IS EXCAVATING UP THERE,
• 21:17 ACTUALLY, EXCAVATING IN
• 21:18 THE IRON AND THE BRONZE AGES.
• 21:21 Tom: THIS WAS LIKE DURING THE
• 21:22 TIME OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL
• 21:27 AND THE JUDGES
• 21:29 AND THAT TIME PERIOD.
• 21:31 Abbas: THAT'S RIGHT,
• 21:32 WHICH STARTS FROM THE
• 21:33 12th CENTURY B.C., ALL THE WAY
• 21:35 TO THE HELLENISTIC TIME,
• 21:37 332 B.C.
• 21:40 Zola: PELLA, LATER CONQUERED
• 21:41 BY THE ROMANS, FIGURED GREATLY
• 21:43 IN EARLY CHURCH HISTORY.
• 21:45 MESSIANIC BELIEVERS SEEKING
• 21:46 SHELTER FROM PERSECUTION
• 21:47 FOUND THEIR WAY HERE.
• 21:49 Abbas: WELL, THEY CAME MOSTLY
• 21:50 FROM JERUSALEM, ACTUALLY.
• 21:51 Tom: SO THEY CAME FROM
• 21:52 JERUSALEM IN THE FIRST CENTURY,
• 21:54 SOMETHING BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION
• 21:55 OF THE TEMPLE THERE.
• 21:56 Abbas: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:57 Tom: AND THIS WAS ONE OF
• 21:59 THE PLACES THEY CAME FOR REFUGE.
• 22:01 WHAT WAS LIFE LIKE FOR THEM
• 22:03 WHEN THEY CAME TO PELLA.
• 22:04 Abbas: YOU TALK ABOUT
• 22:05 A VERY LIVING CITY AT THE TIME.
• 22:08 PEOPLE USED TO LIVE HERE.
• 22:10 LIKE I TOLD YOU, THERE IS--WE
• 22:12 ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IRON AGE,
• 22:13 WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
• 22:14 THE BRONZE AGE, WE ARE TALKING
• 22:15 ABOUT ROMANS BEFORE THEM, OKAY?
• 22:17 AND DURING THE TIME OF ROMANS,
• 22:19 THEY HAD COME OVER HERE,
• 22:20 SO THE CITY WAS SO FLOURISHED,
• 22:21 ACTUALLY, AND ALL THESE RUINS
• 22:23 WHICH WE SEE AROUND US,
• 22:24 THEY WERE FLOURISHING,
• 22:26 THEY WERE IN THEIR GOLDEN TIME.
• 22:28 Tom: AND THROUGH THIS CITY,
• 22:29 JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES
• 22:31 HAD EARLIER COME
• 22:32 AND WALKED THROUGH HERE ON THEIR
• 22:35 WAY TO JERICHO AND JERUSALEM.
• 22:37 Abbas: AND THIS WAS ONE OF
• 22:39 THE 10 CITIES OF THE DECAPOLIS,
• 22:41 THE 10 MOST IMPORTANT
• 22:42 ROMAN CITIES WHICH WERE BUILT,
• 22:45 AND MOST OF THEM
• 22:46 WERE IN JORDAN, ACTUALLY.
• 22:47 Tom: SO IT WAS VERY NATURAL FOR
• 22:48 THE CHRISTIANS FROM JERUSALEM
• 22:51 TO FIND THEIR WAY HERE
• 22:52 AND SETTLE HERE
• 22:54 AND DEVELOP THEIR TRADITION.
• 22:55 Abbas: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 22:57 I BELIEVE THAT WE HAD MANY
• 22:59 CHRISTIANS WHO USED TO LIVE HERE
• 23:00 SECRETLY IN THIS CITY
• 23:03 AND THOSE HAD JOINED THEM.
• 23:05 Tom: AND LATER,
• 23:06 WHEN CHRISTIANITY
• 23:07 BECAME A LEGAL RELIGION,
• 23:09 THEN THEY WERE ABLE TO DEVELOP
• 23:11 THE CHURCH BUILDINGS.
• 23:12 Abbas: THEY STARTED
• 23:13 RIGHT AWAY BUILDING,
• 23:14 RAISING UP THEIR CHURCHES
• 23:16 ALL AROUND THE CITY.
• 23:18 Zola: YOSSI ASHKENAZI,
• 23:19 A MESSIANIC BELIEVER WHO'S BEEN
• 23:20 FEATURED ON OUR PROGRAM BEFORE,
• 23:22 HAS TAKEN A SPECIAL INTEREST
• 23:24 IN PELLA AND THE PLIGHT
• 23:25 OF THE EARLY BELIEVERS.
• 23:27 Yossi Ashkenazi: PELLA,
• 23:28 OR PEHEL,
• 23:30 BECAME A VERY IMPORTANT CITY
• 23:34 AFTER THE DESTRUCTION
• 23:36 OF THE SECOND TEMPLE, THROUGH
• 23:39 THE TIME OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 23:42 WHO BELIEVED IN JESUS,
• 23:44 WHO RAN AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE
• 23:47 OF THE ROMANS AND THE PHARISEES
• 23:50 FROM JERUSALEM.
• 23:52 THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 23:53 ACTUALLY IN JERUSALEM,
• 23:55 STARTED TO EXECUTE
• 23:57 THESE JEWISH BELIEVERS
• 23:59 WHO BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST,
• 24:01 AND MANY, MANY OF THEM RAN AWAY
• 24:03 FROM JERUSALEM.
• 24:04 SOME OF THEM WENT TO QUMRAN,
• 24:07 WHICH THEY FOUND A SHELTER
• 24:09 IN THE DESERT,
• 24:10 LIKE MANY OTHER REFUGEES.
• 24:11 AND THERE IS ANOTHER CITY
• 24:13 WHICH IS AT THE OTHER SIDE
• 24:15 OF THE JORDAN RIVER,
• 24:16 WHICH MEETS ON THE EAST COAST
• 24:17 OF THE JORDAN RIVER, WHICH
• 24:19 THEY FOUND A REFUGE PLACE,
• 24:22 HUNDREDS OF HUNDREDS
• 24:23 OF THOSE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 24:25 FOR ME, PARTICULARLY,
• 24:26 AS A JEWISH BELIEVER,
• 24:27 IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT
• 24:29 TO UNDERSTAND
• 24:30 WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE JEWS
• 24:32 WHO BELIEVED IN JESUS CHRIST,
• 24:33 WHO BELIEVED IN THE LORD
• 24:35 AND TO RUN AWAY FROM THE
• 24:37 PRESSURE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 24:38 IN JERUSALEM.
• 24:39 THE PROPHECY OF JESUS
• 24:41 IN THAT TIME WAS SO IMPORTANT,
• 24:42 SO HIGH, THAT THE JEWS BELIEVED
• 24:44 VERY MUCH IN THE MESSIAH.
• 24:46 AND THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS
• 24:48 WHY THE JEWS LEFT JERUSALEM,
• 24:50 BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T STAY,
• 24:51 BECAUSE OF THE JEWISH AND
• 24:54 THE ROMAN PRESSURE IN JERUSALEM.
