The latest on the excavations at Carchemish, Turkey, where Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, defeated Necho, king of Egypt, in 605 BC (Jeremiah 46:2).
A Turkish-Italian team is conducting the most extensive excavations there in nearly a century, building on the work of British Museum teams that included T.E. Lawrence, the adventurer known as Lawrence of Arabia. The plan is to open the site along the Euphrates river to tourists in late 2014.
