Archaeologists have uncovered artifacts from the Biblical city of Zanoah, located in the ‘Promised Land’ where the Israelites settled after their exodus from Egypt.
The Israeli Antiquities Authority revealed findings, including ancient stone walls and pottery dating back over 3,200 years.
Zanoah, mentioned in the Old Testament, provides further evidence of the Israelites’ journey to Canaan around 1406-1407 BC, after 40 years in the desert.
A broken jar handle bearing the name of a Biblical king adds to the historical significance of the site, the Daily Mail has reported.
The discovery supports the broader Exodus narrative, which describes the Israelites’ escape from slavery in Egypt and their eventual entry into the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership, as detailed in the Book of Joshua.
