Biblical archeology

Biblical archaeology is the study of ancient artifacts, structures, and texts to understand the historical contexts of biblical events and civilizations. It involves excavating and analyzing sites mentioned in the Bible, like Jerusalem or Jericho, to discover evidence of past cultures and beliefs. This field helps distinguish historical facts from religious narratives, providing insights into the lives, practices, and cultures of the people described in the Bible. It is a scientific discipline that combines archaeology, history, and biblical studies to deepen our understanding of ancient Israel and surrounding regions.
