- Summary:
- "Did the Israelites come to Canaan as slaves escaping from Egypt, and then conquer and kill off the indigenous Canaanites. Or were the Israelites actually themselves a branch of those very indigenous Canaanites? The archaeological consensus today favors the latter conclusion, but archaeologists who assert this interpretation are often subjected to attack by religious fanatics. Where, then, did the Israelites actually come from? In the third part of this startling series, John McCarthy looks at the new evidence of Israelite settlements, and the real reason why it has been falsely stated that there were “no human remains” found in those settlements"-- Heritage Broadcasting Service
