Her title refers to the hill in Jordan from which Moses was said to have viewed the Promised Land before he died; she uses the changes in understanding of that spot as a metaphor for the extensive changes that have taken place in scholarship, as summed up by the Franciscan monk who runs the dig at Nebo: "We are less interested in Moses and more interested in archeology." More generally, she finds a shift away from the two-century-old effort to use archeology to support Biblical tales. More broadly yet, she discerns a pattern of placing ancient Israel in its time and place: "The idea that Israel's history was unique has gradually been giving way to the notion that Israel's past can be best understood in the context of the general history of the ancient Near East." All of this, of course, has plenty of contemporary implications, and Marcus notes these with skill - everything from the commercialization of the Patriarch Abraham's voyage westward to the portrayal of ancient Egyptian rulers. One curiosity is to learn that a producer for the Steven Spielberg animated film

VISITING THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY WITH SCHOOL GROUPS: [Home Page] Museum Tours and Cart Programs World Cultures African Voices This new permanent exhibit tells the fascinating story of Africa in the voices of the people who shaped her history and who call Africa home today. The history pathway that winds through the heart of the exhibit begins with the origins of our species on the African continent, continues through the dramatic story of the Nile River Valley civilizations, and concludes with a brief portrait of one of the world's symbols of democracy, Nelson Mandela. The exhibit also explores the African diaspora and the influences of African cultures and their descendants in the New World (the Americas). The diversity of Africa's cultures finds expression in displays that include a modern Somali herder's home, a Ghanaian coffin in the shape of a 747 jumbo jet, and contemporary Malian textiles and fashions. Four West African vendors tell their stories in a recreated market, childrens' toys made of a variety of recycled materials touch the hearts of visitors of all ages, and the sounds of music and the words of statesmen, writers, and historians are everywhere. The exhibition ends with the Freedom Theater, which presents two seven-minute videos, one on the transatlantic slave trade and the other on the legacy of resistance to colonialism and racism. In Fall 2000 the African Voices Focus Gallery features the wood carvings of contemporary Nigerian artist Lamidi Olonade Fakeye. Beginning in January 2001, "Visions and Voices of Black Brazilian Religion" pairs the photographs of Phyllis Galembo with commentary by a leading Afro-Brazilian priestess.
