About - Daat Mikra BIBLE ATLAS - Large Format

This Atlas represent the best Bible Scholar research by Israeli Researchers into the ancient Near and Middle East and has uncovered much lost information about the history and annals of the lands of the Bible. The languages of ancient nations -- Akkadian, Egyptian, Hittite, Hurrian, Canaanite, Ugaritic -- have been retrieved, along with their writing systems, making ancient archives accessible once again. These vast treasuries of documents and texts cast a clear light on many persons and events that are relevant to the Bible. To these we can add the finds of recent archaeological excavations, some of which make major contributions to our knowledge of the biblical age – this volume will make clear many aspects of the Bible and illuminate many hard to understand subjects. 

A Scholarly effort has been made in the Daat Mikra Bible Atlas to describe the sites and historical settings of the events recounted by the Bible. The Atlas presents readers with the events of the Biblical Age, a clear map of the geographical background for each Biblical episode, and a short text explicating the circumstances. The sequence of events, together with the maps and explanatory texts, creates a synopsis of biblical history. This is one of those “Must Have” books for every Bible Library. Large format, Hard Cover, full color Maps, Charts, Photos and Illustrations. Easy to understand and complete with up to date findings. This Bible Atlas makes a wonderful gift.
