 Bible Query on Old Testament Archaeology
Archaeology has provided a wealth of evidence on the reliability of the Bible.
Archaeology actually tells us that the city of Hazor was burned 1400 B.C, 1300 B.C. by the Egyptians, and 1230 B.C. Regardless of the bias of critics of the Bible, archaeology tells the story very precisely.
Can Archaeology Prove the Old Testament p.32 mentions that evidence of the burning was found that corresponds to about 1150 B.C. the Wycliffe Bible Dictionary p.1568-1569 says that the fortress-temple had walls 7 to 7 ½ feet thick, was 53 feet wide and 41 feet long, with the entrance on the long side.
