Here, Dr. Glueck deals with the importance of excavating valley cities and tracing the streams of Jordan. Of particular interest is Dr. Glueck?s documented report on many of the discoveries made at various digs in the Jordan area: a prehistoric burial place, a desert hunting palace, a pagan temple dedicated to Pan, and pagan symbols used in Jewish temples. Once again, a variety of visuals ? slides and artifacts ? are used to illustrate Dr. Glueck?s comments.
