  • In this final episode of the Philistine cities, we go to Tel Ashkelon where scientists performed a DNA test on the bones from recently excavated Philistine cemetery. The results helped solve an ongoing debate of Philistine origins. In this video, we also go to walk inside the world’s oldest arched gate, which is believed to had been built the Caananites in 1850 BC.

    Wow! I'm so blessed to see the history of the Bible into reality. I remember when I was a kid,during Sunday School I dream that someday I could visit and explore the places mentioned in the Bible.. until now that is my greatest desire and I pray to God that before I die, God will grant my desire. Especially those places the time of Jesus. Thank you so much Sergio and Rhoda for exploring those places for us... God bless..

      about a group tour is making so many life long friends, seeing so many places in such a short period of time and now we have a very good idea on what we want to do in our next trip.

    I have the same feelings on the Gates as Sergio mentioned. It’s cool to see you guys walk through this gate but the gate that Abraham walked though would be my favorite. ❤️

    Love, love, love your videos! God bless you both for doing this! I wish I could go again to Israel. I have been there 2 times and we didn't scratch the surface of what you could see and experience in Israel.
