The Tel Arad Sanctuary in the Light of New Archaeological Evidence. The Latest Cultic Findings form the Kingdom of Judah.
Moulis, David Rafael ; Čapek, Filip (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Chalupa, Petr (referee)
The presented thesis focuses on the comparison of the Tel Arad sanctuary with other Judean archeological sites (Beersheba, Lachish, Khirbet Qeiyafa, Tel Moza, Tel Halif), where an archaeological evidence of cultic places from the Iron Age IIa-b was found. A realistic reconstruction of the Arad and the Judean cults in the light of the latest findings was possible only after a research of epigraphic materials from Kuntillet Ajrud, Khirbet el-Qom and Khirbet Beit Lei. The thesis also analyzes the smaller cultic artefacts which are connected to the popular religion. The first evidence of the Judean cult dates back to the late 11th or early 10th century B.C.E. and was found in Khirbet Qeiyafa. Nevertheless, most of the findings are from the official legitimate and illegitimate cultic sites of the 8th century B.C.E. In the end, they were canceled by different rendition (e.g. they were abandoned, dismantled or buried under the layer of earthen fill). Many of the archaeological sites are still under excavation, which means, that the collection of the material culture is going to be larger and significantly more varied. We can use these artifacts to reconstruct and understand ancient Judean cult. There is a high possibility that the new future findings will challenge original theories from the last decades....

The Desert Sanctuary of Israel According to the Pentateuch
Steiner, Jan ; Mikulicová, Mlada (advisor) ; Pitterová, Jana (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the first sanctuary of Israel. First, it describes the religion of the nations, from which Israel came. They are Babylonians and Assyrians, Egyptians and the people of Syropalestine. The history of Israel begins with the forefather Abraham, it continues in his descendants from whom Israel was established, the Lord's chosen people. The Lord led his people from Egypt into the desert, where he signed a contract with them. The main part deals with the first sanctuary of Israel. The sanctuary was portable. Its appearance is described in Ex 25-31,35-40, but it is a description of a developed cult. To find the beginnings of the cult of the Lord, which was carried by nomadic Israelites in the desert, it is necessary to turn to the old texts in the books of Exodus and Numbers, which describe the first tent and the ark. For more information it was necessary to compare the tabernacle of the temple of Solomon and similar objects used in the surrounding nations.
