Bible Archeology Fails, Wins, and Eh’s. By Mr. E

Gilgamesh Deluge Tablet Nippor, Iraq 2000 B.C. Speaks of the worldwide flood amongst a tale of gods and men and offers of immortality. EH?

Amarna Letters Amarna, Egypt 1350’s B.C. Letter exchange between Pharaoh’s court and the administrators of Canaan (Hittites). In it they demonstrate evidence of a mass travesty leaving the Egyptian royals without a male leader. Say the Passover Angel’s slaughter followed by the Pharaoh’s death in the Red Sea? WIN

Noah’s Ark Mt.Arat, Turkey 4,500 B.C. In 2010 Chinese Christian’s announced they found Noah’s Ark. However many people suggest the Chinese have been deceived by a Turkish gov’t hoping for better tourism. The wood in the pictures, and the lack of geographic placement pictures make this sketchy at best. However Roman and Mideval explorers, Ottoman soldiers, and World War 2 pilots have long suggested they saw an anomaly shaped like a boat on the mountain. Whether it has been correctly identified or not is not yet decided.

Black Obelisk Of Shalmaneser III Nimrud, Iraq 800’s B.C. First known depiction of an Israelite. Naming Jehu son of Omri (from our Bibles)bowing before Shalmaneserwhile paying tribute.

Shroud of Turin Lirey, France Middle Ages Burial shroud associated with Jesus. It shows the marking of a man with crucifixion injuries and a crown of thorns. Believers say this image was supernaturally imprinted on the cloth when Jesus raised from the dead. The scientific dating only takes it back to middle ages making this a fake. FAIL

Bones of Paul Rome, Italy 1st century Undisputed bones of Paul have long been at a Basilica outside of Rome. Recent bone dating matched to the time of Paul’s death.

Ritual water pots Cana, Israel 1st century These water pot fragments were found in Cana that match the description of the story of Jesus turning water into wine in the same rural city.

Christ the Magician Cup Alexandria, Egypt 1st century-2nd century Diviners cup that mentions the Greek word for Messiah. This could have been a magicians way to get more business in a Jewish city like Alexandria. Scholars say it might prove that Christianity and black magic were mixing.

Coptic Papyrus of Jesus wife Egypt 4th century Fragmented text that has Jesus saying that he has a wife who is his disciple. Written three centuries after Christ, and by a non scribe according to surveyors. Rejected by 2 out 3 Harvard examiners.

Ark of the Covenant Jerusalem, Israel ???? An archeologist claimed to have found the ark of the covenant in a cave system underneath the place where Jesus died. This would allow Jesus blood to flow through an earthquake crack in the ground into the cave and onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark. Told stories of angels he met by it. Claims the Israeli gov’t wouldn’t let him show anyone. They sealed it all up. He failed a lie detector test. But then stuck to his story on his death bed.

Only two men know where the ark of the covenant is truly located but they are not telling.
