A bibliai régészet fontosabb felfedezései 2019-ben
Major Biblical Archaeological Discoveries in 2019

Summary/Abstract: In 2019, an exceptionally rich array of biblical archaeological finds came to light. The discovery of Herodotus’ seafaring ship (baris) confirmed the credibility of the ancient historian. In Jerusalem, material evidence of the Babylonian siege of 586 BC was unearthed, including seal-impressed vessels and traces of exotic vanilla. At the city gate of Lachish, tangible traces of King Hezekiah’s religious reforms were discovered. The excavation of the Jerusalem pilgrimage road (from Siloam to the Temple Mount) corroborated the account of Josephus Flavius. The submerged city sections of Thonis-Heracleion revealed the centre of Egyptian–Hellenistic trade. In Saqqara, a gilded silver funerary mask was found, shedding new light on Egyptian burial rites. These discoveries at Jerusalem, Lachish, Thonis-Heracleion, and Saqqara contribute to a more precise understanding of prophetic references, while the comparison of historical records with archaeological finds results in a clearer and more accurate grasp of dated events.
