From Eden to Exile: Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible Book

This could have been a really fascinating look into the archeological research of famous Biblical events and objects, but instead it feels a bit catty; most of the book is spent trashing amateurs, and he comes to conclusions much too quickly - he'll say, "so-and-so, a respected archeologist, says thus-and-such", and that's the end of that.

And as you might expect, none of the 7 "mysteries" in the book (including the location of the Garden of Eden, the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant, the loaction of Sodom and Gomorrah) are led to any definitive conclusion; the Bible has some serious chronological deficiencies when compared to recorded history, and most of his conclusions end with either "it was probably a story embellished by Biblical authors" or "nobody knows."
