Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, sat down with Israel over several sessions to talk about how a lifetime of work has informed the story of Ancient Israel. These conversations became the series Conversations in the Archaeology and History of Ancient Israel with Israel Finkelstein.

Cinematography and Editing by Yuval Pan.
Conversations in the Archaeology and History of Ancient Israel with Israel Finkelstein is made possible with a grant from the Shmunis Family Foundation.

So far one of the most interesting series on youtube this year!

Genius. Finkelstein is the Einstein of the Bible - deciphering the incredibly complex universe of the Old Testament. What a brain. And on top of that a gifted teacher and seems like a lovely man too.

Fascinating stuff and meticulous detail presented

Great interview/lecture as usual. Fun story in North Africa among natives (Amazigh) they replaced the orthodox Christmas after converting to Islam with the celebration of Shishonq (Libyan king) conquest of Egypt and becoming Pharoah there. This is a great example of how people can manipulate and manufacture traditions to preserve or establish identity and culture which is the main source of politics and the public is totally oblivious and never question it.
