What is archaeology? Creation, Adam & Eve, and Life of a Nomad

Archaeology, Creation, Life of a Nomad

This year we get to start at the beginning!


"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." 

-Genesis 1:1


Watch the following video to learn about each day of Creation:


Reading the Bible is the most reliable source we have for learning about creation and the world's early events.  Archaeology is also a way to find out information about history.  Archaeology is the study of things that people made, used, and left behind. The goal of archaeology is to understand what people of the past were like and how they lived. Scientists who study archaeology are called archaeologists.  The following video describes more about what an archaeologist does.



The earliest people were nomads.  Nomads moved from place to place in search of food for themselves and their livestock.  Click on the link below and read the following slideshow to learn more about nomads and how they eventually became farmers.
