The Post-Flood World:

From Noah to Abraham

A 12-Day Biblical Archaeology Expedition Through Eastern Türkiye

June 3–14, 2028

Explore the world of Genesis 8–12 with Dr. Jonathan Moore

Two journeys. One extraordinary biblical story.

What was the world like when Noah and his family stepped out of the Ark? Where did their descendants settle, and how did families become nations? What happened at Babel? And why did God later call Abraham to leave his homeland and journey toward a land he had never seen?

Join Dr. Jonathan Moore on a 12-day biblical archaeology expedition through eastern and southeastern Türkiye, exploring the story of Genesis from the mountains of Ararat to the world of Abraham.

Our journey begins near Mount Ararat, where we will consider the biblical account of the Flood, the search for Noah’s Ark, and humanity’s new beginning. We then travel toward the ancient plains of Mesopotamia, following the biblical narrative of Noah’s descendants, the growth of cities, and the scattering of nations.

At Göbekli Tepe and Karahantepe, massive stone monuments and intricate carvings invite us to ask remarkable questions about early human ingenuity. We will examine what archaeologists have discovered, how conventional dates are established, and how proposals for a shorter, post-Flood chronology compare with the prevailing archaeological interpretation. We will distinguish what the evidence demonstrates from what remains debated.

Our journey leads to Harran, where Abraham’s family settled on the way from Ur toward Canaan. Against the background of Mesopotamian trade routes and religious traditions, we will consider God’s call to Abraham and the faith required to leave a familiar world for an unknown future.

Along the way, the Tigris and Euphrates, historic cities, spectacular mountains, and remarkable archaeological sites will help us understand the geography and setting of Genesis. Through on-site biblical teaching and thoughtful discussion, we will explore how the stories of Noah, Babel, and Abraham connect.

This is more than a sightseeing tour. It is a journey of discovery—from God’s preservation of Noah’s family to His promise that all the families of the earth would be blessed through Abraham. Come explore the archaeology, examine the chronology, and experience the world of Genesis in a new way.
