[Regnum] Archaeologists excavating in the area of ​​the ancient Israeli city of Megiddo (Greek name Armageddon) have found traces of the presence of the Egyptian army, confirming the battle described in the Bible in which the last righteous Judean king Josiah died. This was reported by the newspaper Haaretz. The main part of Megiddo was excavated in the 1920s, but it was only recently that a building was discovered that contained large quantities of Egyptian pottery shards, which were found to date back to the 7th century BCE. "When we opened the boxes of finds from the excavations in my lab, I told my students to put Egyptian pottery on the tables, and table after table filled up. The number of Egyptian vessels is double or even triple the number found in the entire Levant during that period," said Dr. Assaf Kleiman of Ben-Gurion University. These were not the remains of fancy pottery, but of simple pottery. Since it is unlikely that the local population suddenly switched to imported cheap pottery, the scientists assumed that the shards were the result of the many years of Egyptian soldiers in the city. This confirms that the city was conquered by Egypt in ancient times, according to the article published on March 3. According to the Old Testament, Josiah lived in the 7th century BC. He died at Megiddo (Armageddon), when he went out against the army of Pharaoh Necho II, who was moving through Judea to battle Assyria. The New Testament also mentions Armageddon as the place where the final battle between the forces of good and evil will take place before the end of time. Armageddon also began to be called the battle itself, and the word also became synonymous with the end of the world. As reported by the Regnum news agency, archaeologists have previously made a discovery that sheds light on the location of Noah's Ark. Research is underway in the area of ​​the villages of Telceker and Uzengili in the province of Agri in eastern Turkey. There, using ground penetrating radar, they discovered an artificial structure in the form of a ship underground. It was established that human activity in the region took place between 5500 and 3000 BC. This coincides with the supposed time of the Great Flood. |
