#9: Israeli Excavation Reveals King Solomon Era Copper Smelting Facility

Aired Sunday, January 15, 2017   ·   10:00 AM CST   ·   51 minutes

The Temple of King Solomon had an innumerable number of brass vessels and objects used in its service. But where did the copper come from to make the brass? Two excavations - one in Jordan and one in Israel believe they have uncovered the answer. On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal looks at the discovery of a 10th century B.C.E. fortification in the Arabah valley that archaeologist’s claim is evidence to the Edomite copper industry. He also looks at the biblical relationship between the Edomites and Israelites as well as prophecies for Edom today.
