Biblical Cities – From the Air

Description

We all know what the graves of people look like, but there are other kinds of graves as well. The graves of cities lie scattered in mounds across the lands of the Bible. These ancient mounds called tels, meaning “heaps of ruins” in Hebrew, are cities built upon the ruins of another, stacked up higher and higher over time. This video short gives you a bird’s-eye view of the excavations of some of the tels of ancient cities mentioned in the Bible. Their existence and locations speak to the historical accuracy of the Bible. But, those dug-out mounds of dirt point to a much deeper truth—the inevitability of destruction, death and burial. Once-powerful cities, great kingdoms and vast empires are now gone, buried under the dust of time.
