2. bible
as well as providing new archaeological information, the book "the ark before noah: decoding the story of the flood" by irving finkel (published 2014) provides material for those of us who are interested in the neo-babylonian period.

Question about "the land of Goshen", for those Bible scholars here in the forum
by opusdei1972 in
