The Old Testament Story

Judah outlived the north by 136 years, produced a great reform, and fell anyway. The prophets who warned, the three deportations, and the temple burned.

Not the fish. A prophet who succeeds completely and is furious about it, and a book ending on a question aimed at the reader rather than at the prophet.

Seventy years without a temple, a land, or a king, and the period that made Judaism what it became. Daniel, Ezekiel, Esther, and the decree that ended it.

A smaller temple, a rebuilt wall, and the last prophet before four centuries of silence. What the returning exiles built and what they were still waiting for.

He was not a fish god, or at least nobody can show it. Who Dagon actually was, what happened in his temple, and how one guess became the version we know.
