Digging Up Armageddon: The Search for the Lost City of Solomon

Professor of Classics and Anthropology Eric H. Cline brings to life one of the most important expeditions ever undertaken: the 1925 journey by a team of archaeologists to the Holy Land to excavate the ancient site of Megiddo—Armageddon in the New Testament—which the Bible says was fortified by King Solomon. Drawing on a trove of the team’s writings and correspondence spanning more than three decades, he paints a vivid portrait of the early years of biblical archaeology.
