Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea, it became one of the largest empires in the ancient world.
In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation.
The Western Roman Empire went into decline and disappeared in the 5th century AD. Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire, including Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Italy, broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century. The Eastern Roman Empire, otherwise known as the Byzantine Empire, was governed from Constantinople, comprising Greece, parts conquered by the First Bulgarian Empire, Anatolia, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis, and despite the loss of Syria and Egypt to the Arab Islamic Empire, revived and would live on for another millennium, until its last remains were finally annexed by the emerging Turkish Ottoman Empire. This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the Empire is usually referred to as the Byzantine Empire by historians.
Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.

Israeli archaeologists claim to have unearthed the oldest Hebrew text ever found. Discovered while excavating a fortress city, apparently it dates back from the 10th century B.C. and refers to the Bible when King David slew Goliath. Here's more on the story.
STORY:
Archaeologists uncover Israel's most foregone past near the ancient battlefield in the Valley of Elah. It is now home to wineries and a satellite station.
The professor of archaeology at the Hebrew University led the excavations.
[Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"This inscription...is the oldest Hebrew inscription in the world. It's pre-dated the Dead Sea Scrolls by 1,000 years."
Experts have not been able to decipher the full text as yet, but several words, including "judge", "slave" and "king," were identified. They hope the text will shed light on how alphabetic scripts developed.
[Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"It is written in Proto-Canaanite script which is the father and mother of all the alphabetic script in the world, the Greek, the Latin, the Hebrew, the Phoenician, the Aramein (Aramaic), all the alphabet in the world derived from this script that appears here on this specific piece of pottery."
Carbon dating of artifacts found at the site indicate the Hebrew inscription was written about 10th century B.C. This is a time when scholars believe King David ruled Jerusalem and ancient Israel.
[Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"This inscription was found in a site... located on the border between Judah and the Philistine. It was a fortified city from the time of King David, about 3,000 years ago."
Garfinkel says the recent findings could have wider repercussions over the future of Jerusalem.
[Yosef Garfunkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"Currently there is a heated debate about the historical value of the Bible-if we have historical information, or it's only theological and literary composed hundreds of years later. Our site clearly proves that already in the early 10th century B.C. there was a kingdom in Judea and that King David existed as a king and that he built fortified cities."
Modern-day Israel often mentions a biblical connection through King David to Jerusalem in supporting its claim to all of the city as its "eternal and indivisible capital."
For the Palestinians, however, the long-standing Arab population in Jerusalem takes over any biblical claims. They want the eastern part of the city to be the capital of the state they hope to establish in the West bank and Gaza trip.

This is a segment of a much larger video production that I am working on and am looking for feedback (positive and negative) on the layout and content.

The inscriptions discovered in the past century and a half, have been accurately dated through the advances of archeology.
The original Semitic alphabet with its pictographic letters, can be divided into three periods. The early Semitic alphabet existed between the 20th and 12th centuries BC. However, note that the 20th century date is based on the oldest inscriptions found thus far and it is possible that future discoveries may push the date of the Semitic alphabet back even farther into history. The middle Semitic alphabet, the phoenician and old Hebrew, was in use between the 10th and 4th century BC. The late Semitic alphabet, the square aramaic script, was in use between 5th century BC and into modern times with the modern Hebrew alphabet that is used to this day.
Early Semitic Inscriptions
To date, the Wadi El-Hol inscriptions found in southern Egypt, are the oldest Semitic inscriptions found and date to between the 19th and 20th centuries BC. The Sinaitic inscriptions from the Sinai penninsula date to about the 15th century BC.
Middle Semitic Inscriptions
The Elah Valley Fortress, Tel-Zayit abecedary and the gezer calendar are dated to about the 10th century BC. Between the 12th and 10th centuries BC, the Greek alphabet used the same middle semitic script. The Mesha Stele (or Moabite stone) and the Ammonite inscriptions found in Jordan date to about the 9th century BC. The Siloam inscription from Hezekiah's tunnel and the Tel-Dan inscription which mentions the "house of David," date to about the 8th century BC. The Lachish inscriptions date to the 6th century BC and the Sarcophagus discovered in 1852 in Sidon dates to the 5th century BC.
Late Semitic Inscriptions
The majority of the scrolls from the Dead Sea Caves are written in the late semitic script and date to between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. A few of the scrolls found in the dead sea caves, such as the Leviticus scroll, uses the middle semitic script showing that the script did not fall out of use completely. The letters from General Simon Bar Kockba in 135 AD during the second Jewish revolt against Rome were written in Hebrew with the late semitic script. The late Semitic script continued to be used for the works of the Talmud, the Masoretic Hebrew Bible as well the printed Hebrew Bibles of today.

STORYLINE
An Israeli archaeologist on Monday claimed that excavated ancient fortifications in Jerusalem supported the accuracy of the biblical narrative.
Archaeologist Eilat Mazar said pottery shards found at the site dated the walls to the 10th century BC (Before Christ) - that''s three-thousand years
ago, when the Bible says Jerusalem was ruled by King Solomon.
One school of archaeologists, including Mazar, believes the Hebrew kings David and Solomon were 10th century rulers, but a second school argues that David''s monarchy was entirely mythical.
Mazar on Monday argued that the wall''s age and location supported the biblical account that the Hebrew kings ruled the city then.
Building city walls demanded great resources and organisation, indicating a strong central government in Jerusalem at that time, she said.
The fortifications, including a monumental gatehouse and a 70-metres (76.5 yards) long section of an ancient wall, were found just outside the present-day walls of Jerusalem''s Old City, next to the holy compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.
According to the Old Testament, it was Solomon who built the first Jewish temple on the site.
That temple was destroyed by Babylonians, rebuilt, renovated by King Herod two thousand years ago and then destroyed again, this time by Roman legions, in 70 AD (Anno Domini).
The compound now houses two important Islamic buildings, the golden-capped Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Archaeologists excavated the fortifications in the past, first in the 1860s and most recently in the 1980s.
But Mazar said her dig was the first complete excavation and the first to provide strong evidence for the wall''s age: a large number of pottery shards, which archaeologists often use to figure out the age of findings.

The 10th century is the period from 901 to 1000 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Common Era.
The 10th century is usually regarded as a low point in European history. In China it was also a period of political upheaval. In the Muslim World, however, it was a cultural zenith, especially in Spain under the Caliphate of Córdoba. Additionally, the 10th century was the zenith for the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires.
Medievalist and historian of technology Lynn White said that "to the modern eye, it is very nearly the darkest of the Dark Ages", but concluded that ". . . if it was dark, it was the darkness of the womb." Similarly, Helen Waddell wrote that the 10th century was that which "in the textbooks disputes with the seventh the bad eminence, the nadir of the human intellect." Even in the 15th century, Lorenzo Valla described it as the Century of Lead and Iron and later Cardinal Baronius as the Leaden Century or Iron Century.

This is a new area that was constructed at that time and (it''s) most magnificent really - construction they preserved up to six metre height and we can see it now for a length of 70 metre long." 12. Pan of Old City walls 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Eilat Mazar, Hebrew University: "It''s the first time that we have a city gate and fortification line from the time of King Solomon. This is a 10th century, most beautifully preserved section of the city wall and all the findings that we have in hand indicates about the 10th century, that sits so well with the biblical version." 14. Mazar holding picture of area 15. Quote from Bible describing area 16. Various of area STORYLINE An Israeli archaeologist on Monday claimed that excavated ancient fortifications in Jerusalem supported the accuracy of the biblical narrative. Archaeologist Eilat Mazar said pottery shards found at the site dated the walls to the 10th century BC (Before Christ) - that''s three-thousand years ago, when the Bible says Jerusalem was ruled by King Solomon. One school of archaeologists, including Mazar, believes the Hebrew kings David and Solomon were 10th century rulers, but a second school argues that David''s monarchy was entirely mythical. Mazar on Monday argued that the wall''s age and location supported the biblical account that the Hebrew kings ruled the city then. Building city walls demanded great resources and organisation, indicating a strong central government in Jerusalem at that time, she said. The fortifications, including a monumental gatehouse and a 70-metres (76.5 yards) long section of an ancient wall, were found just outside the present-day walls of Jerusalem''s Old City, next to the holy compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. According to the Old Testament, it was Solomon who built the first Jewish temple on the site. That temple was destroyed by Babylonians, rebuilt, renovated by King Herod two thousand years ago and then destroyed again, this time by Roman legions, in 70 AD (Anno Domini). The compound now houses two important Islamic buildings, the golden-capped Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque. Archaeologists excavated the fortifications in the past, first in the 1860s and most recently in the 1980s. But Mazar said her dig was the first complete excavation and the first to provide strong evidence for the wall''s age: a large number of pottery shards, which archaeologists often use to figure out the age of findings.

In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation. The Western Roman Empire went into decline and disappeared in the 5th century AD.

Archaeologists Unearth Oldest Hebrew Text
Israeli archaeologists claim to have unearthed the oldest Hebrew text ever found. Discovered while excavating a fortress city, apparently it dates back from the 10th century B.C. and refers to the Bible when King David slew Goliath. Here's more on the story. STORY: Archaeologists uncover Israel's most foregone past near the ancient battlefield in the Valley of Elah. It is now home to wineries and a satellite station. The professor of archaeology at the Hebrew University led the excavations. [Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]: "This inscription...is the oldest Hebrew inscription in the world. It's pre-dated the Dead Sea Scrolls by 1,000 years." Experts have not been able to decipher the full text as yet, but several words, including "judge", "slave" and "king," were identified. ... -

Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea, it became one of the largest empires in the ancient world.
In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation.
The Western Roman Empire went into decline and disappeared in the 5th century AD. Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire, including Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Italy, broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century. The Eastern Roman Empire, otherwise known as the Byzantine Empire, was governed from Constantinople, comprising Greece, parts conquered by the First Bulgarian Empire, Anatolia, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis, and despite the loss of Syria and Egypt to the Arab Islamic Empire, revived and would live on for another millennium, until its last remains were finally annexed by the emerging Turkish Ottoman Empire. This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the Empire is usually referred to as the Byzantine Empire by historians.
Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.

This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the Empire is usually referred to as the Byzantine Empire by historians.
Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.

EARLY WESTERN ZHOU DYNASTY, 10TH CENTURY BC
the pear-shaped body swelling from a slightly everted base with an elongated foot, the rim topped with a domed cover with two spikes and a lobed crenellation, carved with two highly stylised taotie masks and dragon motifs carved in low relief reserved on keyfret ground, four sharp blades resembling the fierce eyebrows, with another four mythical dragons carved on the side of the cover, same theme of dragon motifs continues to the upper section of the body, repeated with the taotie mask motifs in the mid section, highlighted with the raised notched flanges dividing the panels, another eight dragons carved around the side on the waisted base, vessel with a carved long semicircular handle flanked by two high-relief bull-heads at the terminal, the bronze with olive-green patina and malachite encrustations.
The Western Zhou Dynasty continued in the steps of the Shang Dynasty with their bronze work, but introduced newer motifs such as the bull which suggests a greater emphasis on mortal versus immortal aspects of worship and ceremony.

Israeli archaeologists claim to have unearthed the oldest Hebrew text ever found. Discovered while excavating a fortress city, apparently it dates back from the 10th century B.C. and refers to the Bible when King David slew Goliath. Here's more on the story.
STORY:
Archaeologists uncover Israel's most foregone past near the ancient battlefield in the Valley of Elah. It is now home to wineries and a satellite station.
The professor of archaeology at the Hebrew University led the excavations.
[Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"This inscription...is the oldest Hebrew inscription in the world. It's pre-dated the Dead Sea Scrolls by 1,000 years."
Experts have not been able to decipher the full text as yet, but several words, including "judge", "slave" and "king," were identified. They hope the text will shed light on how alphabetic scripts developed.
[Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"It is written in Proto-Canaanite script which is the father and mother of all the alphabetic script in the world, the Greek, the Latin, the Hebrew, the Phoenician, the Aramein (Aramaic), all the alphabet in the world derived from this script that appears here on this specific piece of pottery."
Carbon dating of artifacts found at the site indicate the Hebrew inscription was written about 10th century B.C. This is a time when scholars believe King David ruled Jerusalem and ancient Israel.
[Yosef Garfinkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"This inscription was found in a site... located on the border between Judah and the Philistine. It was a fortified city from the time of King David, about 3,000 years ago."
Garfinkel says the recent findings could have wider repercussions over the future of Jerusalem.
[Yosef Garfunkel, Archaeology Professor]:
"Currently there is a heated debate about the historical value of the Bible-if we have historical information, or it's only theological and literary composed hundreds of years later. Our site clearly proves that already in the early 10th century B.C. there was a kingdom in Judea and that King David existed as a king and that he built fortified cities."
Modern-day Israel often mentions a biblical connection through King David to Jerusalem in supporting its claim to all of the city as its "eternal and indivisible capital."
For the Palestinians, however, the long-standing Arab population in Jerusalem takes over any biblical claims. They want the eastern part of the city to be the capital of the state they hope to establish in the West bank and Gaza trip.

This is a segment of a much larger video production that I am working on and am looking for feedback (positive and negative) on the layout and content.
--------------------------
The inscriptions discovered in the past century and a half, have been accurately dated through the advances of archeology.
The original Semitic alphabet with its pictographic letters, can be divided into three periods. The early Semitic alphabet existed between the 20th and 12th centuries BC. However, note that the 20th century date is based on the oldest inscriptions found thus far and it is possible that future discoveries may push the date of the Semitic alphabet back even farther into history. The middle Semitic alphabet, the phoenician and old Hebrew, was in use between the 10th and 4th century BC. The late Semitic alphabet, the square aramaic script, was in use between 5th century BC and into modern times with the modern Hebrew alphabet that is used to this day.
Early Semitic Inscriptions
To date, the Wadi El-Hol inscriptions found in southern Egypt, are the oldest Semitic inscriptions found and date to between the 19th and 20th centuries BC. The Sinaitic inscriptions from the Sinai penninsula date to about the 15th century BC.
Middle Semitic Inscriptions
The Elah Valley Fortress, Tel-Zayit abecedary and the gezer calendar are dated to about the 10th century BC. Between the 12th and 10th centuries BC, the Greek alphabet used the same middle semitic script. The Mesha Stele (or Moabite stone) and the Ammonite inscriptions found in Jordan date to about the 9th century BC. The Siloam inscription from Hezekiah's tunnel and the Tel-Dan inscription which mentions the "house of David," date to about the 8th century BC. The Lachish inscriptions date to the 6th century BC and the Sarcophagus discovered in 1852 in Sidon dates to the 5th century BC.
Late Semitic Inscriptions
The majority of the scrolls from the Dead Sea Caves are written in the late semitic script and date to between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. A few of the scrolls found in the dead sea caves, such as the Leviticus scroll, uses the middle semitic script showing that the script did not fall out of use completely. The letters from General Simon Bar Kockba in 135 AD during the second Jewish revolt against Rome were written in Hebrew with the late semitic script. The late Semitic script continued to be used for the works of the Talmud, the Masoretic Hebrew Bible as well the printed Hebrew Bibles of today.

It circles the area that''s called the Ophel, which connects the city of David and the Temple Mount. This is a new area that was constructed at that time and (it''s) most magnificent really - construction they preserved up to six metre height and we can see it now for a length of 70 metre long."

STORYLINE
An Israeli archaeologist on Monday claimed that excavated ancient fortifications in Jerusalem supported the accuracy of the biblical narrative.
Archaeologist Eilat Mazar said pottery shards found at the site dated the walls to the 10th century BC (Before Christ) - that''s three-thousand years
ago, when the Bible says Jerusalem was ruled by King Solomon.
One school of archaeologists, including Mazar, believes the Hebrew kings David and Solomon were 10th century rulers, but a second school argues that David''s monarchy was entirely mythical.
Mazar on Monday argued that the wall''s age and location supported the biblical account that the Hebrew kings ruled the city then.
Building city walls demanded great resources and organisation, indicating a strong central government in Jerusalem at that time, she said.
The fortifications, including a monumental gatehouse and a 70-metres (76.5 yards) long section of an ancient wall, were found just outside the present-day walls of Jerusalem''s Old City, next to the holy compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.
According to the Old Testament, it was Solomon who built the first Jewish temple on the site.
That temple was destroyed by Babylonians, rebuilt, renovated by King Herod two thousand years ago and then destroyed again, this time by Roman legions, in 70 AD (Anno Domini).
The compound now houses two important Islamic buildings, the golden-capped Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Archaeologists excavated the fortifications in the past, first in the 1860s and most recently in the 1980s.
But Mazar said her dig was the first complete excavation and the first to provide strong evidence for the wall''s age: a large number of pottery shards, which archaeologists often use to figure out the age of findings.
