Did you know that neither the Paradise apple nor Jonah's whale appear in the Bible? How is it explained that Methuselah died at the age of 969? Why does a serpent appear as the incarnation of the Devil in the story of Paradise and not any other animal? Was Lot's wife really turned into a pillar of salt? Moses, was he a Hebrew or an Egyptian? The pharaoh of the exodus, was he a man or a woman? Did Balaam's donkey speak? What happened in the so-called miracle of the sun? How to understand the passages that speak of "God's war" or that present God as a warrior? God, is he a monarchist or a republican? David and Jonathan, were they more than friends?

The Old Testament is possibly the most famous work of all time; but how much do we know about this singular book? And what we do know, is it written on its pages? Or is it the product of legends, myths or movie blockbusters. Pedro Cabello, who already surprised us with his fascinating Biblical Archaeology, helps us to discover in a rigorous and very informative way, the most unknown passages from the first part of the best-selling book in history.

«We still let ourselves be carried away by numerous clichés that prevent us from approaching a book that is truly exciting, both ancient and modern, without prejudice, because its stories are part of the real and daily life of yesterday, today and always with their fears, questions, dreams, experiences and passions».
The archaeologist Cayetana Johnson wrote of her previous work: «The publication of this book was a great success. It opens minds and introduces us to an exciting field of research."
