BIBLE archaeologists have uncovered the secrets of an ancient city which could prove that the story of Moses leading people to the Promised Land is true. The findings were shared by The Israeli Antiquities Authority and could be monumental given what little physical evidence we have supporting the story. The treasures were uncovered in the town of Zanoah - which is mentioned in the Old Testament.
Researchers found stone walls, pottery and other artifacts that date back more than 3,200 years. The Bible says that the Israelites reached the Promised Land, also known as Canaan, around 1406 to 1407 BC after wandering 40 years in the desert. The team also uncovered a broken jar handle that featured the name of a king described in the Bible, seeming to provide more evidence to the Biblical story of Moses.
The Exodus story is spread over the biblical books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. It starts with the Israelites being enslaved in Egypt , before the Pharaoh agrees to release them after he is coerced by 10 terrible plagues. Moses then leads the people to the Red sea, stretching out his hands and causing the water to miraculously divide.
But, the Pharaoh had changed his mind and the Egyptian army were hot on the heels of the fleeing Israelites. God again commanded Moses to stretch out his hand and the sea engulfed the army. Once they reached the Sinai Peninsula, scripture says they travelled to Mount Sinai, where Moses received the 10 commandments.
The group then hea.
