Sisra’s Secret: Who Was Sisera?

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Who was Sisera? What is the real story behind the Song of Deborah? Who was the "Lost Tribe"? A large previously unknown city, el-Ahwat was discovered in a dense thicket in Israel in 1992. Although it was founded in Canaan during the period of the Israelite settlement, 3,200 years ago, its unique structures are foreign to the cultures of the Middle East of that period. Who were its mysterious inhabitants? Where did they come from? Why did they suddenly abandon the city, which they had built at great expense and effort? Sisera's Secret is a fascinating historical-archaeological journey which attempts to solve these mysteries. It takes us to ancient Egypt and Syria, and to modern Sardinia and Corsica. The Tribes of Israel clash with the Sea Peoples, ancient empires collapse, and a"Lost Tribe ", the Shardana, appears in theregion. Their warriors, wearing horned helmets, illuminate one of the important events in the history of the People of Israel: the battle of the prophetess Deborah and Barak the son of Avinoam against Sisera and his chariots. Adam Zertal, the well-known Israeli archaeologist, tells the story of one of the most interesting scientific discoveries of our generation in clear and understandable terms, and exposes hidden layers in the history of the Land of Israel.
