And by an 11-year-old boy, no less.

A journey of three seal stamps, of twisted floors and belligerent Ammonites, from seventh-century b.c.e. Edom all the way to the 20th-century antiquities market

Nearly 2,800 years ago, a megaquake shook ancient Israel. So says the Bible—and so says a mountain of archaeological evidence. And could it really have been prophesied in advance?

Is the story really entirely impossible?

Gratuitous torture, dimensions, animals, plants and period-specific impotence—a remarkably accurate depiction of the infamous ‘bloody city’ in the book of Jonah

Maybe; evidence of the physics, certainly.

Chances are you’ve heard of the famous one from Tel Dan—here are two more.

But was there ever any real discrepancy to the 8th century B.C.E. timeline?

So use on Noah’s ark should have been no problem

The book of Jeremiah contains a remarkable description of what appears to be Christmas trees. How could this be possible—centuries before the birth of Christianity?

Did you know that our modern English alphabet is derived from the same one used by the ancient Israelites? (Part 3)

What was the fearsome biblical ‘leviathan’? Could it be a terrifying sea creature discovered in the sands of the Near East—a beast whose scientific name aptly translates to ‘King Lizard’?

Is the conventional wisdom correct, that we (via Greece) received it from the neighboring Phoenicians—or was it the Israelites? (Part 2)

The archaeological record of seal stamps in ancient Israel matches closely with the biblical record of their use.

Jerusalem continues to yield wonderful artifacts testifying to the biblical record.
