Artifacts dating from the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in the sixth century BC.
A newly discovered archaeological find confirms the Old Testament's account of the taking of Jerusalem by the Babylonian Empire in the sixth century BC.
Excavations conducted by the Israel Antiquities Authority at the Jerusalem Walls National Park, as funded by the City of David Foundation, discovered strong evidence of fire damage from around the time when the city was conquered by the Babylonians.
The IAA explained in a YouTube video from late July that various findings recently unearthed included "charred wood, grape seeds, pottery, fish scales and bones, and unique, rare artifacts."

"These findings depict the affluence and character of Jerusalem, capital of the Judean Kingdom, and are mesmerizing proof of the city's demise at the hands of the Babylonians," explained the YouTube video.
"Among the excavation's salient findings were dozens of storage jars which served to store both grain and liquids, several of which had stamped handles. Several of the seals discovered depict a rosette — a petalled rose."
IAA excavation directors Ortal Chalaf and Dr. Joe Uziel noted that this seal was typical for the end of the First Temple Period and were used by Judean royal administrators.
The findings came just before the national commemoration of the anniversary of the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem, which was observed on Tuesday.
"At the dig site, the rampant destruction caused by a fiery inferno is clearly seen. Burnt charcoal layers of destruction preserved flooring and utensils in situ, giving a stark picture of the immediacy of the blaze," reported the Times of Israel.
"This is not the first time that remains of the Babylonian First Temple destruction were found in the City of David. What is interesting in the current dig, located beyond what is commonly thought of as Jerusalem's city limits during the First Temple, is that not all the excavated buildings of this period show the intense destruction layer."
A significant historical event for both Jews and Christians, the Babylonian captivity began around 586 BC when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered the city of Jerusalem.
"The exile formally ended in 538 bce, when the Persian conqueror of Babylonia, Cyrus the Great, gave the Jews permission to return to Palestine," noted Britannica.com.
"Historians agree that several deportations took place (each the result of uprisings in Palestine), that not all Jews were forced to leave their homeland, that returning Jews left Babylonia at various times, and that some Jews chose to remain in Babylonia—thus constituting the first of numerous Jewish communities living permanently in the Diaspora."

So one tribe took over another, every village and every castle through out the world would have the same evidence.
I'd be a little uneasy that they determined there not to be an exodus, because finding the evidence of god's will, parting the sea etc would have been more significant IMO. Btw, who fake all those relics that have been found over the years? Aethiests? |

it's September ladies - some few days to come to Christ.
yes the elaborate con to control your mind is continuing - paranoid much? Everyone else is brainwashing you and Jesus is offering a way out. Don't take it.. It's not your choice anyway it's God's . You simply evaded him too well. God's dropped multiple hints into your lap s and you choose to ignore him. i don't see the future. i see a train coming down the tracks. you don't have my perspective. seeing the future is forbidden by God and gets you a curse. anyone can search out a matter, most choose not to. because they are lazy or minded not to? even Satan knows God is real. you accept your own lies, you look at the pretty clouds, the fruit on the tree at the right height, the animal to eat, the plethora of minerals and all you say is chemical chance. As the comedian says... no one screams chemical chance when they orgasm in bed. it's oh God. the dead shall rise. So one unfortunate or fortunate generation will still be alive when Christ fulfills that promise. that generation is here. many men have been raptured in the bible - six prototypes - Enoch, Elijah,Paul,John, Philip and christ himself, the first fruits of the harvest. Hollywood makes it a spectacle, an absurdity. It mocks it. to the Christian it's meeting your creator. to the rest is the end of pleasantries. the war is declared. Satan just got served notice, he no longer rules earth. He like any good dictator sticks to his guns and goes down fighting, taking those around him down too. wait to examine your bible? by all means wait and see what happens. do that and you lose big time. you lose your inheritance. possibly your soul? any chance of recovering a small share with God comes at a heavy price of torture and death , if you wait and see. read Daniel - see what he is saying. logic proves God. proof is in the bible. show me proof is in that one chapter. if you have the eyes to see it. |

they've uncovered a first century path going from the city of Jerusalem down to other structures out side the old city. They have built a arched tunnel to protect it - they found coins and molds vases all sorts of first century articles.
