My latest paper maps an epic 676 BC journey by the Assyrian emperor Esarhaddon and uses it to locate some lost cities, kingdoms, and lands. I am especially excited about and grateful for finding ancient Egypt’s land of the gods, the Land of Punt.

Incredibly honored and grateful to have my latest academic paper as the lead article and cover story of the prestigious Journal of Ancient Near Eastern Studies. It locates an important lost city and finds an image of Jerusalem with Hezekiah on Sennacherib's palace wall.
