Many ancient artifacts are so interesting to study that after finding some information in them, a search begins to compare these data with what is in various scriptures. Recently, experts have discovered an altar that bears a record of the war against the Kingdom of Israel. The Bible mentions many events that could have taken place in the past and may also be fulfilled in the future, some experts say.
The Bible mentions some controversial events that various researchers and historians doubt. Among them there are references to the Great Flood, Noah's ark, Moses' walk with the Jews for 40 years in the desert, and many others. Several years ago, in the Jordanian city of Atarot, an altar was found describing events from the past, which caused a mixed reaction among scholars and historians. Only recently did they decide to return to the study of this artifact in order to find out the veracity of the data that are written on the altar.
The results of the study of the artifact were published in the journal Levant. The altar tells a moment from the past when the King of Moab, Mesha, decided to oppose Israel, as a result of which he managed to capture the city of Atarot. Thus, it turns out that the events described in the Bible are also true, because they mention the capture of this city, which took place 2800 years ago.
The modern name of the city of Atarot sounds like Khirbet Ataruz, and at the moment archaeologists are excavating this place in order to obtain additional information from our history, which is important not only for historians, but also for Bible students. If we consider other events that are described in the Bible, then they are also of interest to many scientists who want to find out as much as possible real events from our past.
