High-Precision Carbon Dating and Historical Biblical Archaeology in Southern Jordan Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 2008 Vol. 105 No. 43 San Diego, Oct. 27, 2008 -- Did the Bibles King David and his son Solomon control the copper industry in present-day southern Jordan ? Though that remains an open question, the possibility is raised once again by research reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Led by Thomas Levy of UC San Diego and Mohammad Najjar of Jordan's Friends of Archaeology, an international team of archaeologists has excavated an ancient copper-production center at Khirbat en-Nahas down to virgin soil, through more than 20 feet of industrial smelting debris, or slag. The 2006 dig has brought up new artifacts and with them a new suite of radiocarbon dates placing the bulk of industrial-scale production at Khirbat en-Nahas in the 10th century BCE - in line with biblical narrative on the legendary rule of David and Solomon. The new data pushes back the archaeological chronology some three centuries earlier than the current scholarly consensus.

The short film The Roman Frontier in Jordan is part of the multimedia DVD-project Frontiers of the Roman Empire. The aims of the film are to show fascinating pictures from the Roman frontier in the Middle East and to connect people from different countries through their common history and archaeology. The Roman fort of Qasr Bshir is one of the best preserved installation of the Roman army known today. Archaeological remains like Qasr Bshir, Jerash and Azraq clearly demonstrate the importance of the Eastern provinces for Rome. And today? His Royal Highness Prince Hassan bin Thalal is promoting the history and archaeology of his country. And in this context we can recognise that Roman archaeology in particular demonstrates that Western Europe and the Arabic world have common roots.

An archaeological-detective story uncovering the pieces of the ancient mystery of where Christ was baptized. Why was the site lost? How was it discovered and what was found there? What is the meaning of baptism in Christianity. An archaeological-detective story uncovering the pieces of the ancient mystery of where Christ was baptized. Christians around the world know Bethlehem where Jesus was born, and Jerusalem where Jesus died and was resurrected, but no one knows the location of his baptism. This being one of the three holiest places of Christianity. Where was he baptized? Why was the site lost? How was it discovered and what was found there? The remarkable story of how the actual location of Jesus' baptism had disappeared from human memory, lost in time for almost 1000 years; And the fascinating story of its rediscovery and the ongoing excavations taking place there. Only 5% of the area has been dug until today. Who knows what else lies beneath this place and what it could reveal about Jesus Christ and the birth of Christianity. The 53 minute documentary is concerned with the recent discovery of the baptism site of Jesus Christ in an area known as 'Wadi al-Kharrar' on the east bank of the river Jordan, the "Bethany Beyond the Jordan" of the Gospels. A complex of unique churches, baptismal pools and monasteries are amongst the important discoveries uncovered so far. The area, since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, was a military zone and heavily mined making it impossible of ...

"And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho". (Joshua 4:19) www.bible.ca Notice that "the people came up out of Jordan...." The phrase "came up" is the Hebrew word 05927, meaning "ascended" — giving us a clue that Gilgal is prophetically a very significant word. The Hebrew word for Gilgal has a derivative root meaning is "whirlwind," which forms the root basis of the word "barley," and denotes the firstfruit of the harvest. The word 'Gilgal' is mentioned 41 times in Scripture. The 13th mention of 01537 is in Joshua 14:6, the only verse where Joshua and Caleb are mentioned along with Gilgal. The number "13" is a strong Bride characteristic number, whose primary meaning is agape-Love, and whose secondary and opposite meaning is rebellion. The association of Joshua, Caleb, and "Gilgal," all together in the 13th occurrence of the word, tells us a message that Joshua and Caleb together form a prophetic picture of the Bride, who will be a part of the firstfruit resurrection — simply by allowing Messiah-in-you to provide the Grace to enter in. Joshua and Gilgal are mentioned together 9 times, the 9th of which includes Caleb. The number 9 attribute speaks of fruit, implying that Joshua and Caleb "together" signifies the "fruit" of the Harvest-resurrection, and fruitfulness in general. Now to see a prophetic word of warning for us today, let's notice the following passage: "And YHWH said unto ...
