The earliest flowers of human civilization bloomed in the Middle East, and their influence on the entire human society continues to this day. However, for many years, people knew very little about the history of the Middle East, and the only historical source was the Bible. However, due to the religious nature of the Bible, many scholars in the 18th and 19th centuries did not pay much attention to the historical records in it, thinking that they were just ancient legends. However, with the important archaeological discoveries in Iraq, Syria, Palestine and other places in the 19th century, people realized the historical value of the Bible, so they once again used it as an important archaeological reference, and many interesting discoveries were made.
This book happens to be an introduction to the collections of the British Museum based on the historical records of the Bible. It is an expansion of a guide book. It does not contain dizzying archaeological terminology, but is full of vivid introductions. It is a book written for ordinary tourists. For readers who have not had the opportunity to visit the British Museum, this book is a treasure trove of relevant historical and archaeological discoveries. Each cultural relic has a detailed introduction, accompanied by exquisite pictures and Chinese and English comparisons. Readers can savor it carefully and enter the ancient world with the illustrated introduction. I hope it can bring fun and enhance knowledge to readers.
