I was born in Boston and trained in Archaeology in Jerusalem, and I've spent most of my career writing and thinking about the power of historical myth. The characters of the past are always part of the present whether they are King Arthur, George Washington, or David and Solomon. After completing a series of books about the history of Archaeology in the Middle East, I teamed up with my good friend and colleague Israel Finkelstein to see what we could accomplish in the re-construction of modern views of biblical history and the ancient societies in which the Hebrew scriptures arose. And still later, I turned to fiction writing, crafting an over-the-top comic novel of time travel from a TV studio in Manhattan to a medieval castle called Camelot, with another lifelong friend and video pioneer, Michael Rosenblum. I hope that both my non-fiction books about the politics of archaeology and my novels persuade you to reconsider how our conventional (and often badly mistaken) visions of the past subtly yet powerfully influence our modern understanding of the present and future in every region of the world.
