What does the Bible hide and to what extent can we trust the Holy Scriptures? The "archaeology" of biblical texts yielded many interesting and surprising discoveries. As it turned out, the Israelites (Northern Hebrew tribes) and Judahites (Southerners) had completely different ancestors, who arrived in Canaan and then left the Nile Delta at different times. The Northerners and the Southerners made their Exodus from Egypt at different centuries as well, and conquered their places in Canaan independently. So what - or who - is responsible for the contradictions between facts mentioned in the Old Testament and archeological findings of the last decades?
The biblical writers merged the family trees and narratives of both peoples to create a common genealogy and history. But where the archaeologists look for the history of Early Israel, are in fact the hidden and different pasts of two West Semitic peoples.
The series "Archaeology of the Biblical Worlds" is published in close connection with the Encyclopedia of the Bible and its Reception and is dedicated to archaeological topics relevant to the study of the biblical worlds. Research on the Bible is no longer confined to the analysis of textual sources. The examination of archaeological evidence has become increasingly important within Biblical Studies around the world. This series bridges Archaeology and Biblical Studies, bringing together scholars from both fields in order to encourage an interdisciplinary approach. The topics covered in this series will span the cultures in which the biblical texts were created and received, mostly but not exclusively in the eastern Mediterranean world. The time frame ranges from the Ancient Near East until the Middle Ages. The series will include monographs by single authors on synthetic topics, archaeological reports on excavations at relevant sites, and collections of studies on topical themes.

Описание:
For most people the mention of graffiti conjures up notions of subversion, defacement, and underground culture. Yet, the term was coined by classical archaeologists excavating Pompeii in the 19th century and has been embraced by modern street culture: graffiti have been left on natural sites and public monuments for tens of thousands of years. They mark a position in time, a relation to space, and a territorial claim. They are also material displays of individual identity and social interaction. As an effective, socially accepted medium of self-definition, ancient graffiti may be compared to the modern use of social networks.
This book shows that graffiti, a very ancient practice long hidden behind modern disapproval and street culture, have been integral to literacy and self-expression throughout history. Graffiti bear witness to social events and religious practices that are difficult to track in normative and official discourses. This book addresses graffiti practices, in cultures ranging from ancient China and Egypt through early modern Europe to modern Turkey, in illustrated short essays by specialists. It proposes a holistic approach to graffiti as a cultural practice that plays a key role in crucial aspects of human experience and how they can be understood.
