The archaeologist and bestselling author Eric H. Cline tells the exciting excavation story of one of the most famous historical sites in Israel, the cradle of biblical archaeology in general: Armageddon, the city of Solomon in the Old Testament and site of the end-time decisive battle in the Revelation of John in the New Testament.
The story begins in 1925: that year, James Henry Breasted, the famous Egyptologist and head of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, sent a team of archaeologists to the Holy Land. What they uncovered over the years made headlines worldwide. But little is known about what went on behind the scenes during the excavation. "Armageddon" brings to life one of the most important archaeological expeditions of all time and, almost incidentally, illuminates the history of the Bronze Age and Iron Age in ancient Israel and throughout the Levant.
