Truth & traditionEpisode 5 | LOST CITY of the Apostles? | Dr. Rami AravSHOW NOTES
In this fascinating interview, I sit down with Dr. Rami Arav, the lead archaeologist at Et-Tell, to discuss one of the most debated sites in Bible Archaeology: BETHSAIDA.
Bethsaida is famous as the hometown of up to five of the twelve apostles — including Peter, Andrew, and Philip. Yet, controversy surrounds its location.
Is Bethsaida in Galilee, as the Gospel of John suggests?
Or in the Gaulanitis, where Archaeology sites Et-Tell and El-Araj are located?
