Egyptologist Dr. Charles Aling interviewed about unrest in Egypt
The unrest in Egypt raises many concerns about what will happen to the country’s antiquities, some of which have been damaged and stolen from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the world's largest collection of Egyptian treasures.
Professor of History Charles Aling, Ph.D. spoke with Faith Radio’s Neil Stavem about Egypt’s current events and biblical history. Listen to the 8-minute interview.
“In studying history, we examine the human condition and how people react to different things at different times. And being able to understand it on a large scale is helpful when dealing with things on a smaller scale. I’m planning on going to law school and I’ll research a lot of cases. Many of the same tools I’ll need for that, I’ve learned in my history classes. It’s definitely going to be crucial for my law school pursuits.”
