Hebrew as the Language of the Proto-Consonantal Script - a podcast by Epic Archaeology

Is the Hebrew language much older than most philologists think it is? In our third episode of Monocle & Spade we interview Old Testament scholar and philologist, Dr. Doug Petrovich about a remarkable theory he has put forth in his book, "The World's Oldest Alphabet: Hebrew as the Language of the Proto-Consonantal Script," recently published by Carta in Jerusalem. The theory has already generated a passionate reaction from both conservative and liberal scholars alike. The question itself centers on the historical existence of the Israelites in Egypt, and their miraculous exodus as it is recorded in the Torah.
