The places shown in the photos above, like ancient Egypt with Pharonic ruins everywhere and Afghanistan, with the ancient ruins of Balk, Alexandria's great stronghold and the ancient Buddha in Bamiyan. Driving through the desert in Tunisia and coming upon another Coliseum even bigger than the one in Rome was incredible. Istanbul was full of things to see but the Blue Mosque was a site to behold. Knowing at one time, it was the largest church in the world. This was the same for all the Greek ruins literally everywhere, almost in every city. It was during a time when a person could simply drive across Europe down through Greece, across Turkey, across Iran, all the way to Calcutta. The Taj Mahal and Mount Ararat; all of these places felt majestic as I walked around them and touched the places where ancient people of the Bible walked. Being there certainly inspired me to find out more about Archaeology and the places themselves especially those that are Biblical related. Other places with their photos of which I have lost the photos for, includes Ethiopia, Austria, Britain, Yemen and Iran. Read about different archaeological discoveries to the Bible. There are many more ruins and scenes and places that I have seen and examined than these pictures show or represent. The countries I have traveled to include Mexico, practically all of Europe, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and the USA. Besides studying their cultures and many of their languages, I have always been interested in their archaeological claims. Above on the top left; there are researched archaeological articles on particular topics. Whereas on the right, there are references to similar topics on u-tube. Be aware that I take no credit for anything published on u-tube. And of course, how can one move through these countries without considering the people and praying for their needs. How can you not have a burden for the lost living in such darkness.
