The Louvre & The Bible - Near Eastern Antiquities

What should you see at the Louvre Museum? How can you find your bearings in this huge labyrinth of objects and ideas? The Bible has proven to be an original prism and an appropriate guidebook to decrypt the history of antiquity.


Did you know that some objects dated before Christ are decorated with crosses, such as the swastika? That other archaeological treasures testify the origin in Babylon of astrology, zodiacal signs and the symbol of the Trinity? That the personal name of God, written in ancient Hebrew, appears on a stele dated from 800 BCE? 

The path follows the natural flow of the tour, moving from room to room in this Eastern Antiquities Department.

This edition offers you the most complete text on the subject. A singular journey that invites us to visit the Louvre in an original way!
