The political entity Israel first emerged in the archaeological record
thousands of years of ago and has a long history of relationships with its neighbors. While there is no direct correlation between the events in the past and the actions today, there are continuities and surprising twists in the experiences of Israel with what is today
Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. Politicians today are not above misusing the past to an ignorant public to support agendas in the present... This program will explore what we know about ancient Israel and its neighbors, what actually happened regardless of what we want to have happened. Handouts will be distributed at each session of primary source documents mainly from Egypt and Mesopotamia.
