The image is a photograph of a sign on a wall that reads "Where did the Israelis come from? Perhaps no question has perplexed scholars of early Israel more than this one. We first begin to hear of a few people called Israel living in the southern Levant sometimes around the beginning of the Iron Age (1260 BC). A literal reading of the Bible tells of an exodus by the Israelites from Egypt and the conquest of the Promised Land under the Kingdom of Israel. The Bible is a very complex story. So where the Israelis came from? The Israelites came from the Middle East and the Middle Eastern countries. The text is written in black text on a white background. The sign is framed by a thin black border.
