Book Description
A highly personal tour of world-famous archaeological discoveries made in 2009 in Galilee, Israel, together with a comprehensive history of the period, covering events which took place both before and after the Destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. Michael, who participated in the dig, provides a fresh, new perspective which leaves the reader with an unforgettable feeling for the places and times he describes in an unusual, amusing but always highly informative way. The highlight is his conclusion that a Jewish Priestly Course, as described in many of the classical Jewish sources, was based in the town, served in the Temple, and left behind their treasured 'focus' in the form of The Magdala Stone. This book is sure to provide readers with many fascinating facts that further enhance their understanding of this seminal period in world history
