3,200-Year-Old Biblical City Uncovered in ‘The Promised Land’

Archaeologists have uncovered intriguing secrets of a Biblical city situated in the 'Promised Land,' where the Israelites settled after their exodus from Egypt under Moses' leadership (roughly 1446 BC according to the Hebrew Bible). Their findings include stone walls, pottery, and other artifacts that date back over 3,200 years from Zanoah, a city mentioned in the Old Testament. According to the Bible, the Israelites arrived in the Promised Land, or Canaan, around 1406 to 1407 BC after wandering for 40 years in the desert. Among the uncovered artifacts is a broken jar handle inscribed with Hebrew text meaning “belonging to the king”(of Judah), lending further credence to the Biblical narrative of Moses, according to a press release by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), who’d carried out the research and excavation.
