Tel Megiddo








 How is it possible that this incredibly important archaeological site has escaped my unending curiosity?

I discovered Eric Cline as I was striving to get the most out of my Audible subscription, faced with a list of free book listens that are ending soon. Fortunately, I chose to listen to Archaeology: An Introduction to the World’s Greatest Sites (The Great Courses), featuring a series of lectures by Professor Cline. I was enjoying it, but it wasn’t until chapter 16 that my mind was blown. Tel Megiddo had been introduced earlier in the book, but I didn’t “get it” until he covered the site in depth.
