Digging Up Solomon (Episode 7)

Biblical Archaeology Audio Podcast with Dr. Kenneth Hanson

Digging Up Solomon (Episode 7) We might go as far as to say that the real history of Israel as a kingdom begins not with King Saul or even King David (the extent of whose kingdom is still very much in debate), but with Solomon, who (for better or for worse) solidified what had been a tribal confederacy into a true monarchy. As with David, the natural place to look for archaeological evidence of Solomon is Jerusalem. Yet, religious restrictions have made digging in the most promising areas effectively off limits. The challenges are endless, as we continue digging for the truth!.Dr. Kenneth Hanson, http://drkenhanson.com/
