About the book: 2014 / Rafail Nudelman guides readers through biblical places and at the same time reports on the latest scientific achievements in the study of Hebrew history. As the walk progresses, it becomes clear that linguistic analysis suggests at least four authors of the Pentateuch, that the most important secrets of the scrolls found in the Qumran caves on the shores of the Dead Sea may not yet be solved, that Jericho, whose history is immediately revealed to us, is rightly claims to be the oldest city in the world, and the search for the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah is still ongoing, but even here it cannot do without very interesting hypotheses... And in addition, a lot of interesting things are told about biblical debates in scientific circles and about the famous dreamer Immanuel Velikovsky, who made an attempt, taking the Bible as a basis, rewrite - in accordance with the natural sciences - the entire history of the universe. Rafail Nudelman - writer and candidate of physical sciences, lives in Jerusalem.
