The Wisdom of Ancient Bones

Preface

The exhibition "The Wisdom of Ancient Bones – Archaeo-Zoological Research" is the fruit of collaboration between the Hecht Museum and the Archaeo-Zoological Laboratory of the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Haifa.

The 1999 exhibition "Depiction of Animals from the Leo Mildenberg Collection "focused on the representation of animals in ancient art. We presented the collection of Dr. Leo Mildenberg, an associate of Dr. Hecht, focusing on the artistic analysis of the animal figures representing the worldview of the culture, the region and the period in which they were portrayed. We also emphasized the symbolic meaning of the animal figures – as representing noble qualities and symbols of deities, or as depicting the deities themselves.

The Great Revolt in the Galilee

Preface (from the exhibition catalogue): Ofra Rimon, museum curator and director

In 66 CE, the Jewish revolt against Rome rule broke out. Four years later, in 70 CE, Jerusalem and the Temple lay in ruins. Three years after that, the Masada stronghold, in which the last of the Jewish insurgents fortified themselves, fell. The revolt was suppressed – the iron hand of the Roman military wrought havoc and destruction among the rebellious Jewish settlements. Thousands of Jews were put to death, thousands more sold into slavery.
