Two Tons of History: Joel Burnett on the Amman Theater Statue

Two Tons of History: Joel Burnett on the Amman Theater Statue

In this episode, Zen speaks with Dr. Joel Burnett about his cutting edge research on the Amman Theater Statue, a larger-than-life, Iron Age statue discovered in 2010. We discuss the statue's origin, its features, and its religious function. Along the way, Joel helps us understand how this statue relates to and sheds light on other ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel and Judah only seventy miles to the west.
