  1. ICYMI: 🏺 How did light shape religious experience in ancient Mesopotamian temples?

    We investigated this by reconstructing and analysing lighting conditions in four common types of sacred architecture from the ancient Near East.

    Using standardised 3D models, we simulated how natural light entered temple spaces.

  9. Languages from the World of the Bible

    "The breakthrough of the alphabetic script early in the first millennium BCE coincides with the appearance of several new languages and civilizations in ancient Syria-Palestine. Together, they form the cultural setting in which ancient Israel, the Hebrew Bible, and, transformed by Hellenism, the New Testament took shape."

  10. A question about textbooks, are they all or mostly written with the assumption you know st least one other language as I've been warned before?

  11. Another article on the subject of writing in ancient #Israel / #Judah :
    Matthieu Richelle, "Elusive Scrolls: Could Any Hebrew Literature Have Been Written Prior to the Eighth Century BCE?" Vetus Testamentum 66 (2016): 556-94. jstor.org/stable/44647541

    I appreciate when scholars say we know less than we think, but then his conclusion seems more positive than his argumentation to that point.

  12. As a follow-up, I found:
    Brian B. Schmidt, ed. Contextualizing Israel’s Sacred Writing: Ancient Literacy, Orality, and Literary Production (Society of Biblical Literature, 2015).

  13. Is there any good social history of writing in Canaan/Israel/Judah/Edom/Moab/Ammon before 500 BCE? (I'm not looking for Egypt or Mesopotamia.) How many people were reading and writing, in what contexts, for what purposes?
