THE BIBLE UNEARTHED: THE MAKING OF A RELIGION -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |

For Yigael Yadin, the conclusion was obvious:
Megiddo, Gezer and Hazor all carried the signs of the same architect: King Solomon.
Yigael Yadin was guided in his INVESTIGATION by a Biblical verse.
The verse tells us that Solomon raised a levy to build the house of Yahweh, and his own house, and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
So, [thought Yigael Yadin], Solomon was a builder king at the head of an empire.
When writing about David and Solomon, the Bible serves as a history book.
But once again, REALITY PROVES to be SLIGHTLY more complicated.
