Video from Patheos

"In the book of Joshua, the Canaanites are the arch-rivals of the Israelites. But who were the Canaanites? Where did they live? This episode will explore Late Bronze Age Canaan, a land of big temples, big palaces, big fortification walls, urban living, and international goods. Evidence that will be considered includes the Amarna tablets, a huge collection of Canaanite correspondences with the Egyptian pharaohs that demonstrates how the Canaanite city-states lived under the thumb of the Egyptian Empire." from video introduction.
