The Lost Bible
The Lost Bible
by Prof. Doron Lancet
ABSTRACT: "New archeology" expands the use of technologies such as carbon dating and the analysis of ancient DNA. By changing dramatically the system of dating Israel’s archeological finds, these techniques may reveal agreement between biblical accounts and evidence on the ground
Last week, Ha’aretz Magazine published Prof. Ze’ev Herzog’s startling announcement that the Bible period never existed, as no evidence has been found for it in archeological excavations. Most other archeologists interviewed expressed complete agreement, and even said that Herzog’s statement was nothing new. A minority continues to claim that material evidence exists for the biblical accounts, but the consensus seems to go the other ay.Non-archeologists, religious and secular alike, unanimously said that whether the Bible is truth or legend, its standing as a colossal work will always prevail. But disturbing voices were heard, urging that the archeologists and their findings should be entirely dismissed.
