7. Daily Life and Business on the Frontier (13)Moving away from royalty, Southon highlights Julia Felix, a Pompeian property owner who ran a vast entertainment complex featuring "bougie" baths and restaurants. Archaeology shows she offered the middle class a taste of luxury normally reserved for the rich. Meanwhile, at the northern frontier, the Vindolanda tablets reveal the lives of educated women like Sulpicia Lepidina. Her letters, including a birthday invitation, prove that Roman military forts were not just for soldiers but were active domestic spaces filled with families and social networks. (14)
In dieser Folge nehmen wir dich mit auf eine Reise zu den Anfängen der ägyptischen Zivilisation – an einen Ort, der unser Bild vom Alten Ägypten radikal verändert. Wir entdecken gemeinsam eine 5.000 Jahre alte Mega-Brauerei im Wüstensand von Abidos, deren Produktionsvolumen und Technik selbst heutige Maßstäbe sprengt. Wir erzählen die archäologische Detektivgeschichte hinter der Entdeckung, tauchen ein in die raffinierte Brautechnologie und entschlüsseln, warum das Bier damals nicht nur Genuss- sondern vor allem Machtdemonstration war. Erlebe mit uns, wie die Ägypter Geschmack komponierten, Ressourcen verschwenden konnten – und wie diese Brauerei den Grundstein für die Pyramiden legte. Sei dabei, wenn wir Geschichte neu brauen!

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the laws that Hammurabi (c1810 - c1750 BC), King of Babylon, had carved into a black basalt pillar in present day Iraq and which, since its rediscovery in 1901 in present day Iran, has affirmed Hammurabi's reputation as one of the first great lawmakers. Visitors to the Louvre in Paris can see it on display with almost 300 rules in cuneiform, covering anything from ‘an eye for an eye' to how to handle murder, divorce, witchcraft, false accusations and more. The Code of Hammurabi, as it became known, made such an impression in Mesopotamia that it was copied and shared for a millennium after his death and, since its reemergence, Hammurabi and his Code have been commemorated in the US Capitol and the International Court of Justice.WithMartin Worthington Professor in Middle Eastern Studies at Trinity College DublinFrances Reynolds Shillito Fellow and Associate Professor of Assyriology at the University of Oxford and Senior Research Fellow at The Queen's CollegeAnd Selena Wisnom Lecturer in the Heritage of the Middle East at the University of LeicesterProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Zainab Bahrani, Mesopotamia: Ancient Art and Architecture (Thames and Hudson, 2017)Dominique Charpin, Hammurabi of Babylon (I.B.

Transcript:Hu: Az ősi Aquincum romjai fölött a hideg téli szél fujt, mintha valami elfeledett titkot suttogna.En: The cold winter wind blew over the ancient ruins of Aquincum, as if whispering some forgotten secret.Hu: Ákos a romok között guggolt, kezében egy apró ecsettel, amely finoman seperte a több ezer éves port.En: Ákos crouched among the ruins, holding a tiny brush that gently swept away the thousands of years old dust.Hu: Mellette Zsófia és László figyelték, hogyan dolgozik.En: Beside him, Zsófia and László watched him work.Hu: Ákos mindig is izgatott volt az ősi civilizációk iránt.En: Ákos had always been excited about ancient civilizations.Hu: Az Aquincum romterületéhez való kirándulást már hónapok óta tervezte.En: He had been planning a trip to the Aquincum site for months.Hu: Ám azon a késő téli reggelen valami váratlan történt.En: Yet, on that late winter morning, something unexpected happened.Hu: Ahogy Ákos egy régi oszlop tövét tisztította, hirtelen köhögni kezdett.En: As Ákos was cleaning the base of an old column, he suddenly started coughing.Hu: Az allergia szinte gombostűként szúrta a torkát, és zihálást okozott.En: The allergy pricked his throat like a needle, causing him to wheeze.Hu: "Ákos, jól vagy?En: "Ákos, are you okay?"Hu: " kérdezte Zsófia aggodalmasan.En: asked Zsófia worriedly.Hu: Ákos intett, hogy minden rendben, de arca sápadt volt.En: Ákos gestured that everything was fine, but his face was pale.Hu: Tudta, hogy valami nincs rendben, de az esély, hogy valami igazán különlegeset találjon, elnyomta félelmét.En: He knew something was wrong, but the chance to find something truly special suppressed his fear.Hu: Mindenáron meg akarta találni a történelem egy darabját, amely változást hozhat karrierjébe.En: He was determined to find a piece of history that could change his career.Hu: László, aki az ásatáson számokban volt jártasabb, közelebb lépett.En: László, who was more versed in numbers on the excavation, stepped closer.Hu: "Remélem nem fogod túlzásba vinni, Ákos.En: "I hope you won't overdo it, Ákos.Hu: Az egészség a legfontosabb.En: Health is the most important thing."Hu: "Ákos csak bólintott, de belül egy csata zajlott benne.En: Ákos just nodded, but inside a battle was raging.Hu: Folytatta a munkát, koncentrációját az ásatásra összpontosítva.En: He continued working, focusing his concentration on the excavation.Hu: A romok mélyén hirtelen egy érdekes tárgy bukkant elő.En: Deep within the ruins, an intriguing object suddenly emerged.Hu: Egy apró, réz szobrocska.En: A small, copper figurine.Hu: Szemei felragyogtak az izgalomtól, de tüdején egyre romló nehézség vette át az irányítást.En: His eyes sparkled with excitement, but his lungs were increasingly overrun by difficulty.Hu: "Megvan!En: "I found it!"Hu: " kiáltotta, de az öröme nem tartott sokáig.En: he shouted, but his joy was short-lived.Hu: Az allergia fellángolt, teste már nem bírta a terhelést.En: The allergy flared up, and his body couldn't handle the strain anymore.Hu: Összerogyott, és levegő után kapkodott.En: He collapsed and gasped for air.Hu: Zsófia és László azonnal mellette termettek.En: Zsófia and László were immediately by his side.Hu: Zsófia telefonon hívott segítséget, László pedig próbálta Ákost higgadtan tartani, amíg megérkeztek.En: Zsófia called for help on the phone, while László tried to keep Ákos calm until help arrived.Hu: Az orvosi csapat gyorsan odaért, és ellátták Ákost.En: The medical team quickly arrived and tended to Ákos.Hu: Ahogy Ákost elvitték a mentők, László és Zsófia folytatták az ásatást.En: As Ákos was taken away by the paramedics, László and Zsófia continued the excavation.Hu: Végül sikerült feltárniuk a réz szobrocskát teljes egészében és kiderült, hogy egy ritka, római korban használt rituális tárgy volt.En: They eventually managed to uncover the copper figurine in its entirety and discovered it was a rare ritual object used in the Roman era.Hu: Mikor Ákost kiengedték a kórházból, örömmel hallotta a hírt, hogy szenzációs felfedezést tettek.En: When Ákos was released from the hospital, he was delighted to hear the news of the sensational discovery they made.Hu: Bár a dicsőség nagy része Zsófiának és Lászlónak jutott, Ákos belülről gazdagodott.En: Although much of the glory went to Zsófia and László, Ákos felt enriched internally.Hu: Megértette, hogy a valódi siker nemcsak az egyéni felfedezésekben rejlik, hanem a csapattársak közös munkájában és az egészség fontosságában.En: He understood that true success lies not only in individual discoveries but in the teamwork with colleagues and the importance of health.Hu: Bár a csillogó hírnevet most nem élvezhette teljes mértékben, Ákos szívében tudta, hogy a kalandért megérte küzdeni.En: Although he couldn't fully enjoy the shining fame now, Ákos knew in his heart that the adventure was worth the struggle.Hu: Rájött, hogy a legértékesebb dolgok néha a legváratlanabb pillanatokban tárulnak fel, ahogyan az emberi kapcsolatok és a közösen megélt élmények is.En: He realized that the most valuable things sometimes reveal themselves at the most unexpected moments, just like human connections and shared experiences.

What made Egypt the longest-surviving country in the world? Aidan Dodson is a professor and author of over 30 books and helps us explore fundamental shifts in our understanding of ancient Egypt. The discussion spans the civilization's long run, from the unification around 3000 BC—a feat commemorated by the crucial Narmer Palette—until Christianity began to erode its religious and linguistic foundations around 300 AD. Dodson examines the Pyramid Era, explaining these structures as magical machines designed to transition the dead king into a god. He also covers the rise of the sun cult and the political power of female pharaohs, including Nefertiti, whose historical importance lies in her role negotiating the religious transition from Akhenaten's revolution to Tutankhamun's return to tradition. The episode concludes with Dr. Dodson's top archaeological discoveries he wishes he had witnessed. 00:00 Introduction 01:30 A Passion for Egyptology 02:47 How Ancient Egypt is Presented to Young Audiences 03:47 Defining the Span of Ancient Egypt 04:21 The Unification of Egypt 08:18 Narmer: The Unifier of Egypt 09:56 Daily Life in Early Ancient Egypt 11:31 The Political Center: Memphis 12:57 Knowing the Personalities of Ancient Rulers 15:48 The Narmer Palette and the Discovery of Human Sacrifice 24:29 The Dawn of the Pyramid Era 27:44 Imhotep: Djoser's Right-Hand Man 30:38 Sneferu: The Greatest Pyramid Builder 33:36 The Purpose of the Pyramids 38:35 The Elevation of the Sun Cult 40:34 The Pyramid Texts and Egyptian Religion 44:49 The Female Pharaohs 49:25 Nefertiti: From Glamour to Political Power 53:57 Dr. Dodson's Top Archaeological Moments 54:50 The Discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb 01:00:04 The Imperial Relationship of Ancient Egypt and Nubia 01:03:17 The Nubian Pharaoh Aidan Dodson is honorary full professor of Egyptology in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Bristol, and has authored some thirty books.

Portland Book Festival has been a proud partner of the National Book Foundation Presents program for many years now, and at the 2025 festival we featured a program called “The Cost of Hope,” moderated by National Book Foundation executive director Ruth Dickey, and featuring 2024 National Book Award in Nonfiction winner Jason De Leon, author of Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling, and 2025 National Book Award finalist in Fiction Megha Majumdar, author of A Guardian and a Thief. The intersections between Jason's book, in which he embeds with a group of smugglers moving migrants across Mexico over the course of seven years, and Megha's novel, about two families in a climate-ravaged near-future Kolkata, are abundant. In fact, the two authors share a background in anthropology, and talk about how that education has shaped the way they interpret the world. Their wide-ranging conversation starts with a discussion of how hope can be “snarling and aggressive,” and idea of hope as a refusal to back down. They also talk about the ways both of their stories connect climate change and migration, and how inescapable that connection is. In different ways; for Jason, through reporting, and for Megha, through fiction, both books are able to interrogate huge systems through the individual lives, making these incomprehensible forces in the world legible by finding the storytelling. This is a conversation between two artists thinking deeply about some of the most pressing issues of the day, and approaching them from places of care and, indeed, ultimately, from places of hope. Jason De León is professor of Anthropology and Chicana/o Studies and Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is also Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project, a 501(c)(3) research, arts, and education collective that seeks to raise awareness about migration issues globally while also assisting families of missing migrants reunite with their loved ones. He is a 2017 MacArthur Fellow and author of the award–winning books The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail and Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling, Winner of the 2024 National Book Award for Nonfiction. Megha Majumdar is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel A Burning, which was Longlisted for the National Book Award, nominated for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize, and a finalist for the American Library Association’s Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence. It was named one of the best books of the year by media including The Washington Post, the New York Times, NPR, The Atlantic, Vogue, and TIME Magazine. A 2022 Whiting Award winner, she was born and raised in Kolkata, India, and holds degrees in Anthropology from Harvard and Johns Hopkins. She is the former Editor-in-Chief of Catapult Books, and lives in New York. A Guardian and A Thief is her second novel. Ruth Dickey has spent 30 years working at the intersection of community building, writing, and art, and is the Executive Director of the National Book Foundation. The recipient of a Mayor's Arts Award from Washington DC, and a grant from the DC Commission and Arts and Humanities, Ruth is the author of Our Hollowness Sings (Unicorn Press, 2024), and Mud Blooms (Harbor Mountain Press, 2019), and an ardent fan of dogs and coffee.

The hosts discuss the use of technology in archaeology and the importance of using it appropriately. While our discipline will never escape the shovel and trowel - would we ever want it to? - there are tremendous tools that have been added to our proverbial tool chest over the years. However, just because these tools exist does not mean they are always useful. Employment of technology should be thoughtfully included in work plans and archaeologists have a responsibility to understand technology's role in our discipline to ensure it is used appropriately.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the countless venues across the Roman Empire which for over five hundred years drew the biggest crowds both in the Republic and under the Emperors. The shows there delighted the masses who knew, no matter how low their place in society, they were much better off than the gladiators about to fight or the beasts to be slaughtered. Some of the Roman elites were disgusted, seeing this popular entertainment as morally corrupting and un-Roman. Moral degradation was a less immediate concern though than the overspill of violence. There was a constant threat of gladiators being used as a private army and while those of the elite wealthy enough to stage the shows hoped to win great prestige, they risked disappointing a crowd which could quickly become a mob and turn on them.With Kathleen Coleman James Loeb Professor of the Classics at Harvard UniversityJohn Pearce Reader in Archaeology at King's College LondonAndMatthew Nicholls Fellow and Senior Tutor at St John's College, OxfordProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:C.

This month's podcast episode takes us to Ethiopia, specifically the rock-cut church of Wuqro Cherqos in Tigray where a tantalisingly cryptic piece of carved stone can tell us a whole story of interconnection up and down the Red Sea. This is a journey of merchants, artistic ideas, and political power in a place where you may not have expected it.Our guest is Mikael Muehlbauer, Lecturer in the Discipline Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University. He is a specialist in the architecture of Medieval Ethiopia and Egypt, with a broad interest in interfaith exchanges and historical memory. He received his PhD from Columbia University. He is the author of the 2023 book "Bastions of the Cross: Medieval Rock-Cut Cruciform Churches of Tigray, Ethiopia" as well as an upcoming book "Inventing late antiquity in Fatimid Egypt,". This episode is part of our series Peripheries which seeks to push our understanding of the cultural heritage of the Islamic world away from the traditional centres that we associate with it. With a fantastic range of guests we will examine places and topics often considered peripheral to the Islamic world and understand why they are in fact of central importance to the region's cultural heritage, from Armenia to England, from Ethiopia to West Africa.
Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin and diplomatic reporter Nava Freiberg join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. If Iran attacks Israel, it will be “perhaps the most serious mistake in their history,” warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening, threatening an overwhelming response to any aggression. As the world awaits US President Donald Trump's State of the Union address tonight, Freiberg updates us with the push-pull diplomacy of the past day. The Palestinian technocratic body tasked with managing postwar Gaza announced last week that it was opening applications for “qualified candidates” seeking to serve in a “transitional police force” to be deployed in the Strip. This comes as Hamas appears poised to keep hold of its control of civilian and security infrastructure even as the Trump peace plan moves ahead. The Great Isaiah Scroll, the oldest nearly complete book from the Hebrew Bible ever found, is on display in its full length for the first time since 1968. Tercatin was on hand at Jerusalem's Israel Museum for the unveiling and fills us in. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: Trump said frustrated with limits of military leverage against Iran Netanyahu: An attack on Israel would be ‘most serious mistake’ in Iranian history Hamas seen working to maintain control of Gaza via Trump-backed bodies Gaza oversight committee seeks ‘qualified’ candidates to join Strip’s police force Great Isaiah Scroll, oldest near-complete biblical book ever found, on show in entirety for 1st time since 1968 Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of Vertical Playpen, Phil Brown and Celia Orsini delve into the intersection of archaeology and identity, exploring how understanding our past can enhance our sense of belonging and well-being. Celia shares her personal journey with archaeology, emphasizing the importance of landscape and community in shaping identity. The conversation highlights the role of empathy and communication in teams, the shift in community needs towards connection, and practical exercises for understanding identity through objects. Celia's insights provide valuable tools for fostering a sense of belonging in a world increasingly marked by loneliness. Archaeology is fundamentally about identity processes. Understanding our past helps us build community and belonging. Experiencing landscapes can create emotional connections. Identity is a fluid process influenced by our choices. Empathy is essential for effective communication in teams. Shared experiences build trust and foster collaboration. The need for community has shifted from political tensions to addressing loneliness. Practical exercises can help individuals explore their identity. Objects on our desks can reflect our personal stories and connections. Identity construction is an ongoing process that can be improved.

Skeptics said synagogues didn't exist in Galilee during Jesus' lifetime. They were wrong. They said crucified victims were never buried. They were wrong. They said the Gospel writers invented details about first-century Palestine. Wrong again.Dr. Craig Evans, one of the world's leading scholars on the historical Jesus and New Testament archaeology, has spent decades connecting physical discoveries to the Gospel narratives. He's authored over 70 books, founded the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute, lectured at Cambridge, Oxford, and Yale, and appeared on BBC, the History Channel, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic. In this episode, he walks us through the discoveries that secular Israeli archaeologists rely on the Gospels as their primary sources, why skeptical theories collapse under the weight of evidence, and how the skeletal remains of a crucified man confirm that Jesus would have been buried exactly as the Gospels describe. This conversation will transform how you read the New Testament.In this episode, you will learn:Why Israeli archaeologists, even non-believing ones, use Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts as their most reliable sourcesThe discovery of first-century synagogues at Magdala and what they reveal about Jesus' ministryWhat the Theodotus Inscription proves about synagogues existing in Jerusalem before 70 ADHow the Pilate Stone and Caiaphas Ossuary confirm key figures from the Passion narrativesWhy the Gospel writers showed remarkable restraint and integrity in recording only what Jesus actually saidThe archaeological evidence that crucified victims in Jewish Palestine were in fact buriedHow the skeletal remains of Yehohanan, a crucified man with a nail still in his heel, validates Gospel burial accountsWhy Joseph of Arimathea's burial of Jesus is historically plausible and fits Jewish law perfectlyThe stunning continuity of village memory that preserved the location of Jesus' tomb for centuriesCheck out Dr. Craig Evans' work:Website: https://www.craigaevans.comJesus and His World: The Archaeological EvidenceFabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the GospelsThe Bible Seminary: https://www.thebibleseminary.eduStay Connected with Johnny Ova and The Dig In Podcast: Subscribe and follow The Dig In Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyova Follow all things Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyova Grab Johnny's book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H
Mankind's Beginnings have been the most guarded and tampered with secret and is binding us in a spell of institutionalized superstition. The True Makers of Civilization were a fair and just class of noble leaders and guardians of mankind. Very bad people have poisoned our legacy and co-opted our achievements. This series and this channel is an effort to restore our identity and break the spell cast over us. We are not to be subjugated. We are the representatives on Earth of the benevolent Creator. Adam-Thor knew this. He led with fairness and protected people from the dark sorcerers who were terrorizing lands in Ancient times. It's time we remembered who we are and our noble purpose. The Eda/Edda or Knowledge ie the History of Civilization is the greatest tool for Breaking the Spell over mankind. Even if the Nordic Goths are not your ancestors, they benefitted and protected all people that they held dominion over. They improved the lives of those they civilized with their innovations in agriculture, science, mechanics, metal work, art, and defense. They were fair and just and worthy of the role of guardian and protectors over their territories.

We've all heard the mythology around great ideas: the lone genius struck by inspiration, the eureka moment in the bath or shower. But George Newman believes we've been thinking about creativity in the wrong way. This is a preview of a premium episode. To hear the whole thing, head over to our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/george-newman George is a cognitive scientist who's spent years studying where great ideas actually come from, and his research reveals something surprising: creativity might be less like magic and more like archaeology. In his book How Great Ideas Happen, he argues that ideas aren't just born in our brains—they're discovered through a systematic process of excavation. In our conversation, George walks us through the four stages of creative archaeology: surveying the landscape, gridding out the problem space, digging without judgment, and sifting through what you've found. He shares fascinating research on “hot streaks”—that pattern where creators explore widely, strike a rich vein of ideas, mine it completely, then move on. And he challenges one of Silicon Valley's most cherished beliefs, namely that ideas without execution are worthless, using evidence from a study done on Quirky.com showing that good ideas really are worth waiting for. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for inspiration to strike, or wondered whether creativity can actually be systematized without losing its magic, this conversation offers both the science and the practical steps to help you uncover your next breakthrough. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Episode: 1526 Learning speech: the Paleolithic technological explosion. Today, we learn to talk.
Often in the history of science, myths overrun scientific findings and take hold with such force that they are difficult or nearly impossible to dislodge from public understanding. Perhaps no example of this phenomenon is more pronounced than that of the societal collapse of Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui. With us to unravel the myth from the science is Mike Pitts. Mike is a writer and broadcaster (a frequent voice on BBC radio), archaeologist (directing excavations at Stonehenge), and one-time museum curator. He has written for The Times, Telegraph, Sunday Times, Observer, and Guardian, and many magazines including New Scientist, Archaeology, and BBC History. He edited British Archaeology magazine for 20 years and has written books on topics ranging from the discovery of Richard III's grave to How to Build Stonehenge. His original research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, World Archaeology, and Antiquity. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.
Between the 9th and 11th centuries Norse explorers undertook a series of remarkable journeys through the North Atlantic. Iceland and Greenland were settled by medieval farmers eager to find new uninhabited lands. But just how far west did these seafarer's manage to travel? The unique Icelandic texts known as the sagas tell tales of journeys to a fertile and abundant country south west of Greenland named Vinland, or the Land of Wine, for the wild grapes that allegedly grew there. Archaeology has proven that the Norse managed to reach Northern Newfoundland, but could the rocky North Peninsula really be the "land of wine" blessed with "frostless winters?" Where was Vinland? Did it ever truly exist? Tune-in and find out how magical sleeps, violent troll tests, and saga story-time all play a role in the story.

Did the people named in the pages of the Bible really exist? Who were these kings, generals, priests, administrators, prophets, governors, and scribes? Archaeological discoveries continue to provide ancient attestation for those named in the Bible, showing the historical reality of their existence. Dr. Titus Kennedy will join us to share how “even the stones cry out” to substantiate biblical Truth.

Dr. Titus Kennedy is a professional archaeologist and a research fellow at Discovery Institute. He is a consultant, writer and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula and has directed archaeological projects in Bible lands. He's researched and photographed archaeological sites and artifacts around the world with involvement in projects at 18 sites spanning 6 countries and has conducted artifact research at museums and collections around the world. He is the author of several books including: Unearthing the Bible: 101 Archaeological Discoveries that Bring the Bible to Life, Excavating the Evidence for Jesus, The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands: Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean World and the newly released, Archaeology and the People of the Bible: Exploring the Evidence for the Historical Existence of Bible Characters. People are sometimes skeptical about the Bible's historical accuracy. While they may begrudgingly admit that the Bible is correct about certain cities or other locations, they have a harder time believing that the characters were real. So are the examples that Dr. Kennedy points to firm, probable, tentative or speculative? Also, how does he know that his discoveries are related to that exact name in the Bible? These questions are answered showing the historic and scientific honesty that Dr. Kennedy brings to his research and that's therefore displayed in his book. So join Jim and Dr. Kennedy on this audio journey as they discuss the archaeological evidence for various Bible characters such as Danel from Ezekiel, King David, King Ahab, Jezebel, Sanballat and Herod the 1st.
