The Old Testament in the British Museum
Next Tour - 19th April
We'll be looking at items from Israel, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, and Sumeria.
The aim is twofold:
- To see how archaeology confirms the historical accuracy of the Bible
- To get more of an idea of the culture in which the Old Testament was written
Where to Meet
We will meet in the Great Court by the Statue of a Man on a Horse (
