A New York City criminal defense attorney and
President of the Biblical Archaeology Society of New York (BASNY), Greenberg
has long been interested in the intersection between ancient myth and
ancient history, especially as it applies to Egyptian influences on the
writing of the bible. The problem, he says, is figuring out how to separate
the myth from the history. For more on Gary Greenberg's views read the
stories in the New York
Press, the
Florence SC News or the Green Bay
Press-Gazette.
