Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Archeological Research in Bible Lands The history of Archeological Research in Bible Lands reads like a romance. As a result of the labor of many scholars in this field of work, empires long dead have been recalled to life, the long-forgotten names and the records of once powerful races and peoples have been recovered, civilizations long since decayed have been emerged, as it were, from out of the ruin-heaps under which they were buried, and languages in which great literatures have been written, but which had faded from human memory, have been deciphered, until to-day we are in possession of many new chapters of world history. But the desire to increase the knowledge of the world history was never the primary motive toward archeological investigation in the Biblical Orient. From the beginning the chief interest was a religious one, and at the basis of all research was the inquiry, "How does any new find affect the history of Palestine," and secondly. "How does the history of Palestine affect Israel and Judaism?" For a long time before actual systematic archeological work was begun, it was realized that the only road to new information was by the way of the excavation of the numerous Tells which dot the surface of the land all over the Biblical East.
