They are deciphered as relevant to a modified form of Roman Mithraism which I have called Pictish Mithraism. For example the V-Rod and Crescent comprises descending and ascending arrows from/to the celestial sphere representing the travel of the soul at birth and on death. This e-pamphlet is a short introduction.

Neighboring southern Jordan, the geographic area known as “Edom,” witnessed the emergence of the first historically-recorded state or kingdom level of social organization.1 Thus, when considering the dynamics of social change in Israel/Palestine, scholars must consider developments and historical trajectories in the entire region (including Transjordan).

The time factor was usually based on archaeological estimates rather than comprehensive physical dating. For example, the perceived age and time duration of “hole-mouth” pottery sherds and tabular flint scrapers became a source of circular reasoning to “date” sites and their “duration.” Thus, desert sites became to be perceived as temporary, seasonal, short-lived, while the cultures of desert populations were somehow undervalued. However, radiocarbon dating of desert sites from the Late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age IV presents a very different scenario. The deserts of the Southern Levant exhibit a full sequence of settlement, a longer life span of individual sites, and a higher level of activity and creativity of the desert people.

The article appears in that issue under the title “Sodom: The Discovery of a Lost City.”1 While the article was in the editing process, I was informed that ABR archaeologist, Bryant G. Wood, would provide a response article critiquing my northern Sodom position. Of course, I welcomed it, but suggested that I also be given some space in the same issue to provide at least a brief response to his critique. That seemed like the fair and balanced thing to do, given the fact that my article was a “pop” piece, and Wood’s response was likely to be written with a scholarly tone (which is was).2 But such was not to be the case. It is my hope that the present article will help to correct this imbalance Version: Added on: 26-Jul-2010 Downloads: 644 Go to Web Site | Rate Resource | Report Broken Link | Details Gojoseon, an ancient Korean Kingdom in the second and first millennia B.C.
