The New Brunswick Archaeology Podcast The NB Ark of the Covenant Pod
This fortnight we're getting biblical, and as we thread the needle between Hannukah and Christmas, we figured what better way than to head back to the source material. That's right, it's the Early Woodland in the Levant (aka the Iron age) and we've got Dr. Kevin McGeough (University of Lethbridge) on the Pod to talk about the Ark of the Covenant. Ken and Gabe have read Kevin's new book Readers of the Lost Ark and we get Kevin to answer all your questions: could it be a conduit to God? is it a weapon? is it an alien radio? and just how many Finnish mystics does it take to excavate the Temple Mount? Happy holidays, listener!
