Scientists in a new study are using new dating technology to piece together historical events to see how closely they resemble those described in the scriptures.Using measurements of ancient geomagnetic fields preserved over time in mudbricks from fire-ravaged sites and in two collections of ceramic objects, scientists at Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University have more accurately dated these remains.“Since we have a very large database, we can compare many different sites according to the magnetic signal and this way reaches a very accurate dating method,” Yoav Vaknin, of the Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, told Reuters.The study’s findings indicate, for example, that the army of Hazael, King of Aram-Damascus first mentioned in the Book of Kings, was responsible for the destruction of several cities including Tel Rehov, Tel Zayit and Horvat Tevet.By way of its fashionable utility, Vaknin says the magnetic subject and its exercise is, without doubt, one of the greatest mysteries going through scientists and this expertise might be used to foretell how the magnetic subject will change and behave sooner or later.A joint study by TAU and the Hebrew University, involving 20 researchers from different countries and disciplines, has accurately dated 21 destruction layers at 17 archaeological sites in Israel by reconstructing the direction and/or intensity of the earth’s magnetic field recorded in burnt remnants.The new data verify the Biblical accounts of the Egyptian, Aramean, Assyrian, and Babylonian military campaigns against the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.Other geomagnetic findings reveal that the cities in the Negev were destroyed by the Edomites, who took advantage of the destruction of Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah by the Babylonians.In a 2020 study, researchers reconstructed the magnetic field as it was on the 9^th of the month of Av, 586 BCE, the Hebrew date of the destruction of the First Temple and the City of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian army.ALSO READ 1,500-Year-Old Inscription Leading To Apostle Peter’s Home Uncovered
