This week, Dr. J.P. Dessel joins Jordan to discuss a pivotal time in the ancient Mediterranean: the Late Bronze Age. What do we know about the world of the Late Bronze Age? What can we learn from discoveries like the Merneptah Stele and the Amarna Letters? And what exactly does the Merneptah Stele tell us about ancient Israel?
