BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY COLLECTION
BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY COLLECTIONThe Tower of Babel in the basement
Hardly any other collection of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) can boast as many unique pieces. Models represent life in Biblical times, ten thousand photos and valuable maps document the early history of Israel while seven ossuaries evidence a turning point in burial practices at the time of Christ. The Biblical Archaeology Collection may be relatively new but it goes way back into ancient history.
