The lecture will deal with the Northern Kingdom of Israel, with special reference to the results of the excavations at the celebrated site of Megiddo. Attention will be given to the rise of the kingdom, the period of the Omride Dynasty and the time of Jeroboam II. Archaeology sheds light on the material culture and history of these phases, as well as on biblical texts reflecting on the North and its people.
