Prepare to embark on a journey to the heart of ancient history and prophecy! In the premiere episode of our eight-part series, esteemed archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Matthew J. Adams invite you to explore Tel Megiddo—the legendary site known to many as Armageddon.
*Why is Megiddo so Legendary?*
Nestled in the strategic Jezreel Valley, Megiddo was the crossroads of ancient civilizations—a place where empires clashed and history was forged. It’s not just an archaeological site; it’s the prophesied battleground of the ultimate confrontation between good and evil, as depicted, according to the Christian tradition, in the Book of Revelation.
