Description
This is a book about the beginnings of the Jewish people, from prehistory to the time the Jewish Nation was formed in the land of Canaan. Many books cover the early history of the Jews, the Bible being, perhaps, the most read one. However, archaeological discoveries made over last 30 or so years shed some new and important light on many events in that history. These discoveries have been published in a number of books and scholarly papers. For those who do not have time, or inclination to go over those numerous sources, this short (intentionally short) book retells the early history of the Jewish people in light of those discoveries. For those, who would like to dive deeper into specific subjects, the extensive bibliography provides the material for further reading.
