Archaeology confirms
what the bible says. The Arabs have been saying that this is not true, that the
Jews are settlers and the Arabs had been there before them.
“Inside the tunnels
beneath the Western Wall in Israel, archaeologists have
uncovered the final parts of an elaborate building that may have been used as a
reception area for members of Jerusalem's local council and their guests on
their journey to Temple Mount. “
Here’s what the Israelis
Say About The Wall:
They believe that
it was used by the Babylonians who took Jerusalem in 586 BC.
“Near the wall, archeologists found a Babylonian stamp
seal made of stone, depicting a figure standing in front of symbols of the two
Babylonian gods Marduk and Nabu. Not far from there, a bulla, a stamp seal
impression made in clay, was found bearing the Judean name “Tsafan.”
Time and again, archaeology has confirmed that the Bible describes ancient history and culture accurately.
We now have archaeological evidence for the United Monarchy of David and Solomon and biblically sound dates for the Gihon Tower in Jerusalem, for instance.
The Bible recounts real events, real people and even real catastrophes, such as earthquakes.
