Dr. Assaf Kleiman is a senior lecturer at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, known for his expertise in archaeology and ancient history. He is currently involved in significant excavations at the ancient site of Megiddo, where recent findings of Egyptian pottery fragments have led him to propose new insights into the historical context of the biblical Battle of Megiddo, which occurred in 609 B.C.
