"Unearthing the Ashes: Archaeologists Reveal the Fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE"
Archaeologists have used advanced techniques like FTIR spectroscopy and archaeomagnetic analysis to support the biblical account of the Babylonian siege and destruction of Jerusalem around 586 BCE. The evidence suggests that the Babylonians deliberately set fires in strategic locations within the city, targeting significant buildings rather than destroying indiscriminately. This research provides a more detailed understanding of the historical event, corroborating the narrative of a deliberate and thorough destruction of Jerusalem by Babylonian forces.
