Caanan Settlement

E Block--Your homework is to explore the interactive presentations in the links below. Be prepared to share what you have learned in class on Wednesday.

For many decades biblical archaeologists tried to prove the story of the conquest as told in the book of Joshua. They located the defeated cities mentioned in the Bible and tried to find "destruction layers" from the period when the conquest would have occurred, now generally believed to be the late thirteenth century BCE.While more than twenty sites mentioned in the Bible have been excavated, to date only two – Hazor and Bethel – revealed evidence of destruction. However, the ethnic origins of their conquerors cannot be determined. Findings at the other sites contradict the account of Joshua. Notably, excavations at the site of Jericho revealed that it had been destroyed centuries earlier.

Based on this evidence, archaeologists have generally concluded that the Israelites did not take Canaan by force. Please explore this presentation by following this link and clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the screen.

Welcome to Edo!

Edo is the ancient name for Tokyo. During the reign of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Japan's emperor reigned in secluded majesty at the imperial capital in Kyoto; however, the true center of power, government, the economy and social life was Edo, where the Shogun lived and ruled the country. For most people in Japan, Edo is more than just a historical city. It also has a symbolic image and meaning. It represents nearly everything that they consider a part of their "traditional" culture. For the Japanese, Edo has a romantic image that one could compare to the Italian's image of Renaissance Venice, the British image of Victorian London and the American image of the Wild West, all rolled into one. This website is designed to take you exploring in Edo. Hopefully it will offer not only some enjoyment, but also some insights into the source of "traditional Japan". Although modern Tokyo may look very "Western" on the surface, in its heart the spirit of Edo still lives on!
