This is great. I like the images and background. However, were you see females faces, these females have short cropped hair. in the style of men of the period. Whereas most women had longer hair, unless tied back or up. Is this not right? Would like to hear more on the cultural dressing of men and women at the time. Hope BAR continued successes.
I love your website! You make the stories in the Bible come alive with your history & archeology facts! Thank you!
