Israel Finkelstein is one of the foremost archaeologists in Israel, a leading authority on Middle Eastern Archaeology and co-director of excavations at Megiddo. He is the Jacob M. Alkow Professor of the Archaeology of Israel in the Bronze Age and Iron Ages at the Tel Aviv University.

Finkelstein says that much of The Bible was written from the seventh to the fifth century BCE. He has debunked the supposed historicity of the Pentateuch, saying that much of it is in complete opposition to archaeological knowledge. He even disputes the biblical record of the United Kingdom, saying that the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were always separate, with different life styles, different pottery, different myths and legends, and the same language Hebrew, but different dialects.
