1 Jonah and the Whale

The story of Jonah and the Whale is one of the most famous, and most mysterious, tales in the Old Testament.

See treasures that date back over 2,500 years and discover a lost world where the prophet Jonah himself may have preached.

I wouldn't trust the Smithsonian's version of history. What happened to all the bones of the giants that were sent to the Smithsonian and have since disappeared? The Smithsonian's views are too conservative and pedantic.
