Dr. Hasel—This is too long, but I thought it was important to keep the list of bonus lectures. They were in a numbered list and could be put back that way to make it easier to read.

In this DVD, some of the world's greatest scholars explain archaeology's contribution to the understanding and interpretation of events in the Near East. Survey the remains of a raging fire that destroyed Hazor thousands of years ago. Explore the ruins of a stone tower at Jezreel, from which Queen Jezebel may have been thrown and murdered.
