THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE (November 6, 1999)
Archaeologist Draws Fire for Doubting Biblical Accounts
JERUSALEM -- An Israeli archaeologist is
drawing fire for claiming that the biblical
history of the Jewish people is probably fiction.
In an article last week in Ha'aretz newspaper,
Ze'ev Herzog, a professor at Tel Aviv University
argued that the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt
probably never happened, the Ten Commandments were
not given on Mount Sinai, and Joshua never conquered
the land of Israel. Herzog said that if there was a
King David, he probably was no more than a tribal
chieftain. The same holds for King Solomon, Herzog said.
