HEKHAL was created by a group of four(*) Trinity College Dublin graduates who wish to promote research in the fields of ancient near eastern history and historiography, biblical studies, and archaeology with the long-term aim of increasing both academic and public understanding of the biblical and ancient near eastern world and its texts.Click through to the website for more.
HEKHAL will strive to meet these aims through the organisation of events including conferences, seminars, lectures, workshops, web resources and the publication of annual conference proceedings. Although we are “The Irish Society for the Study of the Ancient Near East”, we are by no means restricting our membership or participation in the society to those residing in Ireland. If you’re out there and interested, you’re more than welcome to join us and participate in all events.
All upcoming events shall be announced on this website. The first thing we will be doing is hosting a series of afternoon seminars and lectures. If you are interested in attending or participating in any of these, please see the “Events” page of this website and know that we will be delighted to do all that we can to facilitate your participation.
(*Hekhal has acquired a fifth founder since parthenogenesis.)
