Lecture begins at

I watched this lecture a few years ago. I was so impressed with this Israeli archaeologist's honesty in regard to the true history of Israel. It seems as though most Israeli and Zionist Christians archaeology is conducted for the purpose of finding proof that the Bible is historically accurate. Real archaeology should never have a preconceived, desired result. Ayelet is a true archaeologist that allows the facts and findings to be result of her research. Because of her honesty and dedication, it seems that Ayelet has been shuffled away from the limelight she so richly deserves. I could not remember her name, so I went to Wikipedia in search of Israeli Archaeologist. Incredibly, her name was not to be found. Fortunately, after many, many searches I found this video.

Conclusions from Prof. Gilboa’s slides with minor edits

This is a outstanding lecture about Israel, Canaan, Phoenicia and the entire Levant from the Bronze Age collapse c 1170 to about 800 BCE.

Listening to lectures like these and documentaries help me sleep so thank you

So very well done!!!! Your presentation encapsulated many years of personal observation, opinion and speculation on my part in defacto laity. I've forwarded this link to several who I believe will benefit from your very easily digestible spread of wonderful info. Again, fantastic!!

To the OI producer: 1. I wish the screen showing the speaker would be enlarged again, after showing the Thanks screen, to full-size during the Q&A period. 2. I think audience members should be limited to one question each, there are always so e who want to dominate with multiple complex questions. Thank you for such excellent productions! I enjoy them so much, and learn so much.

What a great speaker with such fascinating connections of migration of cultures. I especially enjoyed her highlighting the two distinct styles of loom weights; my mother and grandmother both used looms and I learned to card and spin the yarn on both a drop spindle and spinning wheel.

Exceptional subject. I study Near Eastern religions. Just beginning to. Great lecture.

How do I say this without being censored?

Good lecture, Dr. Gilboa. It is interesting to learn about the how the Canaanites and Israelites were basically the same people but diverted from each group.

Really interesting; wish the lecture were twice as long!

Iron in the 8th century was brought to Dor and Canaan by the Tyrians; as Dor, Acre and Ascalon were dominated by Tyre and Sidon. But again she never mentioned the Sicilians Nursghian origins of the Saqqala of Dor and Acre as well as the Washasha and the Tjekeru.

This is the best lecture on archeology i have ever seen. Excellent execution

Excellent lecture. I did not know much about Dor.

Great, great video.

Thank OI for another wonderful _ and free _ lecture. If it was longer I would have continued watching.

Excellent presentation illuminating place and people of the era.

Thank you very much.

Very interesting point about whether, or, not the Bible guides Archeology. It's been my experience as a Samoan from Polynesia, that accidental discoveries have actually given some weight to the old stories.
