Have you heard about these new incredible discoveries?
A 1500-year-old inscription of 'Christ, born of Mary' was uncovered in Northern Israel in the doorway of what was a Byzantine church! Christianity Today says that while the stone and building were 1500-years-old, the doorway itself dates to the 5th Century B.C—proving again the practice of re-using existing materials and building around them. How cool!
If that wasn't amazing enough, here's another one:
WHOA- A royal seal was found that can be linked to King Hezekiah, who lived over 2,700 years ago! Click here or on the image below to watch the video about it. Amazing! Being such a history dork that I am, this kind of news makes me SOOOOOOOOOOO excited!
But, that's not all!
Recently in Timna, Israel, purple fibers were found dating to King David's reign! (Approx. 1000 B.C.) As this is an extremely rare find, this is really exciting!
