Transjordan. Holy land, historical land. Part 1
Description
Transjordan-the Oultrejordain of Crusader times, known to the ancients as Edom and Moab-is steeped in biblical history. In this program, archaeologists Fawzi Zayadine, Mohammed Waheeb, and Carmelo Pappalardo attempt to match up biblical events with the terrain where it is said that they occurred. The refuge of Lot, the trail of the Exodus, the place of Jesus' baptism, Moses' vantage point on the summit of Mount Nebo, and early churches of the Madaba region are the focus of their exploration. In addition, Catreena Hamarneh, director of the Madaba Mosaic School, discusses the remarkable Madaba mosaics and their restoration.
