Description

Picture this: sometime around the Late Bronze Age – scholars debate whether it's closer to 1400 BCE or 1250 BCE, but whenever it was – the ancient Near East looks nothing like the maps in your history textbook. Instead of neat country borders, you've got a crazy quilt of city-states, wandering tribes, and pocket kingdoms all bumping into each other. The big players – Egypt down south and the Mesopotamian empires way up north – are like distant storm clouds, casting shadows over everyone else. And right in the middle of all this chaos, a group called the Israelites is trying to figure out where they fit.
