FIVE NOTABLE BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS
_______________
(1) The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in the mid-20th century within a series of caves along the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. They contain some of the earliest known copies of the Hebrew Bible and other Jewish texts.
(2) The Nag Hammadi Library, discovered in 1945 hidden beneath a large boulder near the town of Nag Hammadi in Egypt. It contains a collection of early Christian texts within thirteen different volumes, including several lost Gnostic gospels.
(3) The Tel Dan Stele, discovered in 1993, is a standing stone marker discovered in Tel Dan in the Upper Galilee in Israeli. On the stone is a Canaanite inscription that refers to the "House of David.” The stele provides evidence for the existence of the biblical King David.
(4) The Beit She'arim cemetery, excavated in 2022, contained an inscription on a grave marker referring to "Jacob the Proselyte.” A proselyte is a convert to Judaism usually from the Ancient Greek religion. The marker provides evidence for the existence of first century non-Jewish converts to Judaism in ancient Israel.
(5) The discovery of a 10,500-year-old basket in 2021 within the caves along the Dead Sea. It is the oldest known basket in existence and is reminiscent of the baskets mentioned in the Bible, such as the one that held the baby Moses in Exodus and the basket from which Jesus fed the multitudes.
