Archaeologists have unearthed new evidence that supports the Biblical account of Moses leading the Israelites to the Promised Land. The discoveries, made at the ancient city of Zanoah in Israel, include 3,200-year-old stone walls and pottery, providing tangible evidence of the Israelites’ settlement in the region after their exodus from Egypt.
The findings, shared by the Israeli Antiquities Authority, were made during excavations in 2019. The discovery of these artifacts provides a rare glimpse into the lives of the people who settled in the region over three millennia ago, and offers a potential confirmation of the historical accuracy of the Biblical narrative.
Archaeologists have uncovered secrets of a Biblical city that sat within the ‘Promised Land’ where the Israelites settled after Moses led them out of Egypt.
The Israeli Antiquities Authority recently shared their findings from Zanoah, which is mentioned in the Old Testament, revealing stone walls, pottery and other artifacts that date back more than 3,200 years.
The Bible states that the Israelites reached the Promised Land, also known as Canaan, around 1406 to 1407 BC after wandering 40 years in the desert.
The team also uncovered a broken jar handle that featured the name of a king described in the Bible, providing more evidence to the Biblical story of Moses.
