Explore some of the mysteries of Egypt, this ancient land, uncovered through Archaeology. Learn the fascinating connections between the Bible and Egyptian culture.

It does provide additional information outside the record of scripture that reinforces the biblical narrative. The past informs the present.

What is Biblical Archaeology?
The name refers to a special focus of archaeology within a certain location at a certain point in time. The fact that it’s Biblical Archaeology means that excavations are typically limited to areas mentioned in the Bible; places such as modern-day Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, etc. The time period includes, but is not limited to, 1,400 BCE (late Bronze Age) through the first century BCE. The aim of Biblical Archaeology is to find physical evidence that would shed light on people, places, events, and customs described in the Bible. (Reference: Ashley Echard, contributing writer for Christian Broadcasting Network)
Note: BCE (Before Common Era) and BC (Before Christ) mean the same thing.
Before completing the course, you will be required to take a brief quiz to test your understanding of the material presented.
