The First Temple stood as the heart of ancient Judah—until Babylon rolled in.

In this reaction episode, Garry Stevens of the History in the Bible Podcast and Steve take a deep dive into Biblical Archaeology Review's 50th anniversary article. What does half a century of digging in the Holy Land really tell us? I break down the claims, question the hype, and offer some context that may be missing from the glossy retrospective.

Long before Solomon’s Temple, there was THE tent. But not just any tent — a divine design, down to the color of the yarn and the placement of the cherubim. In this episode, we unpack the biblical Tabernacle: part spiritual HQ, part ancient glamping setup, and 100% foundational to Jewish identity. From goat skins to gold fittings, was this just a mobile worship space or something way bigger?
