15 The Amarna Letters (Guest: Dr. Scott Stripling)

In the 1880s an archive of clay tablets was discovered in Amarna Egypt. These tablets contain interesting correspondence from the kings of Canaan that were paying tribute to the pharoah in Egypt, and they take place during the early time of when the Israelites were conquering the promised land. Henry Smith discusses the contents of these letters with Dr Scott Stripling, archaeoligist and director of excavations at the dig at Shiloh, Israel. And spoiler alert, Dr. Stripling has a new theory about a connection to Shiloh that might be mentioned in the Amarna Letters.    Genocide in Canaan (part 1) - DFT TV Genocide in Canaan (part 2) - DFT TV Tyre and the Tel El-Amarna Tablets Articles on the Conquest of Canaan
