Do We Still Need Biblical Archaeology?

That is a question we have addressed in our book The Future of Biblical Archaeology ( a work we published just before James Hoffmeier’s volume came out). Before we place our answer here, we would like to discuss some points made in this fine article- Why Biblical Archaeology Still Matters Biblical archaeology is not a

Another Newsletter News Article

Here is another round of article blurbs from a couple of the newsletters we receive: #1. Assyrian Inscription Found Threatening Jerusalem This fall, an amazing first of its kind discovery was made in Jerusalem. A tiny 2,700-year-old clay artifact was found inscribed in cuneiform script and bearing a royal Assyrian court communication to the king

Ancient Surgeries

This is one of those topics where modern views of ancient populations can be insulting to the latter group. With an evolutionary worldview, one views ancient men and women as incapable of doing more than tying their shoelaces if they had shoes. But as discoveries of ancient surgeries continue, the ancient world was a lot

One Confirmation/One Fairy Tale

First, the confirmation. This discovery proves to everyone that there is missing extant information. Arabic document from 17th-century rubbish heap confirms existence of semi-legendary Nubian king A recent study published in Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa explores new historical evidence of one of pre-colonial Dongola’s earliest rulers. Previously considered semi-legendary, the discovery of a document

Figurines or Goddesses???

One of our pet peeves is how archaeologists view ancient clay figurines. Almost to a man, they consider these figurines images of some type of goddess.

Our Extra-Biblical Evidence Series

For those interested in this topic, we will place the title with the link included below. The series is still ongoing, and a few more topics will be added as we

Sakya Monastery Library

When we first saw the headline and read the following article, we were a bit skeptical. Our skepticism was due to the source of the information- Archaeology World on Facebook. Our skepticism motivated us to do some further inquiries: A Library Discovered Behind a Wall in the Sakya Monastery Has 84,000 Unread Manuscripts! In 2003,

Early Sheep Herding

The Bible tells us: 2 And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of flocks, (Gen. 4) The date of this is unknown, but it is fairly close to the beginning of time. Unbelievers will say that human history goes back hundreds of thousands of years, yet produce no

No Corroboration

One of the double standards we come across is the fact that archaeologists and bible scholars do not accept historical events or figures contained in the biblical record. They complain often and loudly that the biblical record has no corroboration. Yet when it comes to secular history, history not contiane din the Bible, the demand

Civilizations That Disappeared 2

Yesterday’s article was talking about different civilizations that no longer exist. One question that was not answered is how do we know which civilization was pre-flood and which was post-flood? This is a very good question, as the writers of the articles we quoted and the other ones we looked at lumped every former civilization
