Archaeologists find 3,100-year-old pottery bearing the name of biblical judge

[Weatherman2020]

Israel is an archeologists playground. Ignored for thousands of years it’s filled with artifacts going back to the beginning of civilization. And every find ends up further validating the Bible.

Excavations at a site in the Judean lowlands has turned up a 3000-year-old pottery shard with the name Jerrubaal - the name Judge Gideon was given by his father - which means literally, "contender with Baal."

A name from the Book of Judges has been discovered on ancient pottery for the first time, and it suggests authenticity of the scriptures.

There are tons of history writers in history.

Those in power often write the history to make themselves look good. Lots of actual history has been lost because of this. However, such artifacts as these don't lie.

You want to expound on your drivel, or should we just guess?
It was found at an excavation site, so they kind of have an idea how old it was.

So you were just trolling....as usual.
Someday, why don't you try and actually post something that is fruitful,
instead of your throwing shit against the wall?

Ancient Jerusalem: The Village, the Town, the City

Ancient Jerusalem made such an enormous impact on Western civilization that it’s hard to fathom how small its population really was.

Jerusalem was very small especially since 3 million Israelites left Egypt.

Not sure of your point, but at least one archeologist thinks Jerusalem was smaller than
what others thought.

Most of history is lost to us. This is due to things such as illiteracy, the inability to record events if you were literate, and the loss of events that were lucky enough to get recorded. You also had history skewed to make one country or ruler look good and the rest of the world bad, much like how Egypt recorded events inaccurately. Surviving history had a gauntlet of opposition to living to this present day, like the great fire at the library in Alexandria Egypt. The Bible, however, faced this gauntlet and beat the odds. It's survival is nothing short of a miracle. And lastly, the Bible gives us the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Jewish people, something unique that most writers of history refused to do. This adds to its veractiy.

The Bible is nothing short of an ancient treasure.

Several think Jerusalem was small. The footprint of the city increased when they built the temple, but not the population.

Kind of a weird article. First, the site of the city is considered to be the site Abraham took his son to be sacrificed, around 2,000 BC. And your source says Israelites weren’t there in 1,100 BC. And second, the city of David was small at first, as every city is. It’s all new and still being explored. I got to be one of the first in the public to walk in the newly discovered water drainage tunnel to the Temple Mount from the city of David.

Which Temple? First or second?

Well, maybe.

But, that pottery sure has some possible linkage to the Bible, via Gideon

To be fair, the nation of Israel was named after the grandson of Abraham who was Jacob. In fact, the name Jacob and Israel can be used interchangeably in the Bible.

As for walking the secret drainage system David did to take the city, all I can say is, I'm envious! I always wanted to do that.

If you go, take your backpack off first. The tunnel kept narrowing to the point I almost got stuck, it’s so tight I couldn’t maneuver.

Israel probably has the best archaeologists in the world. It's not supposed to prove the Bible.. archaeology stands on its own merits.

It does. It just turns out it always validates the Bible.

Not so far. There's no evidence for a global flood or the Tower of Babel or the Exodus or Joshua's battles. Ur of the Chaldeans didn't exist.
