Summary: A visual tour of items found in the Holy Land.
Comment: Bible Lands is a visual tour to the Holy Land. The geography, the history and the ancient civilizations of its people are revealed. Stunning real-life photographs are what make the eyewitness books so great. There are pictures of swords, statues, ships and the land.
What did Solomon's temple look like? Where the earliest human statues ever found? What does Assyrian armor look like? How did the Phoenicians dye their clothes? How did Abraham live and what did people eat in Old Testament times?
You will also discover who the Israelites were and how the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. The Holy Land is a region which is quite diverse in its terrain. There is a map on page 6 and 7 which shows the entire area being discussed. Do you wonder what the Tower of Babel looked like. Well, a picture of a ziggurat is about as close as you will get to the real thing. Each picture has text which explains the items. I would have enjoyed seeing larger pictures of the artwork and smaller pictures of say a watermelon.
I loved the picture of the illuminated manuscript which is from the medieval period and it is a page from a decorated Latin Bible. An interesting two pages shows how modern archeology began in the Holy Land in 1865 and all the tools used are displayed.
Very educational and fun to see how people in the past lived.

Summary: READ THIS BOOK!
Comment: This book has power, experience and such greatness. It shows you things about the Bible that I never even knew could even exist. Like the pillar of salt/rock that Lot's wife was turned into because she looked back. Wow. You have to read this book. The Bible put things in persceptive in those times. But seeing them as they are today, is like WOW. Read this book over and over again. I know I will.
