King Tut Exhibit
Denver, June 29, 2010-January 9, 2011By Lisa T. Bergren

The last time I’d seen Tutankhamen’s (pronounced Toot-in-common) treasures was in Cairo, back in 1990. Even there, in the ramshackle, crowded museum—that I understand has since had a makeover—the exhibit was inspiring, with its amazing gold and piles upon piles of artifacts. Continue reading

Ein Gedi
And a Dip in the Dead Sea...By Lisa T. Bergren
After a visit to Qumran, site where they found the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Masada, ancient Herodian palace and stronghold for Jewish Zealots during the Great Revolt, we were ready for some fun. Heading back north along the Dead Sea, where Israeli forces patrol (Jordan is on the east side of the lake), we reached Ein Gedi, the most popular park for those who want to swim in the Dead Sea.

And the Pools of SiloamBy Lisa T. Bergren

David came to this Jebusite stronghold in 1000 BC, and sneaking through the tunnels that brought water to her inhabitants, conquered her. Continue reading
