Until recently, science considered the Bible to be a mythological fiction. A group of modern scientists, consisting of specialists representing different scientific disciplines, managed to prove that the biblical narrative is historically reliable and based on real facts and events.

The theories of mathematicians A. G. Fomenko and G. V. Nosovsky, which amazed everyone, are significantly inferior in argumentation to the scientifically and logically verified conclusions of David Rohl. Photographs and maps taken from NASA satellites are of great interest. These photographs capture the main places mentioned in biblical history. If you want to get acquainted with the actual events that took place in that distant legendary era, with places, dates and famous historical and mythological characters, many of which did not appear on the pages of the Bible, then this book for you.
