How to Find the Hazor Archives (I Think)
Biblical Hazor was the largest and most important royal city in the southern Levant in the second millennium B.C.E. Its continuing exploration has brought to light impressive architecture and unique objects. But, one major discovery remains elusive: Where are Hazor’s cuneiform archives?
Old, New Banquet Hall by the Temple Mount
A banqueting complex was recently identified just beside the Temple Mount. Dating to the time of King Herod, it projects the splendor and comfort enjoyed by royal guests. With its two dining halls and a fountain room in between, this composite triclinium is probably the most splendid Herodian building that has survived the 70 C.E. Roman destruction of Jerusalem.
Mixing the Gospels
In the mid-second century C.E., the Christian teacher, theologian and ascetic Tatian wrote the Diatessaron, which is a harmonized account of the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Diatessaron means “through the four [Gospels]” in Greek. It is unclear whether Tatian originally wrote this document in Greek or Syriac. The Syriac name for it is Ewangeliyôn Damhalltê, which means “Mixed Gospel.”
