Credibility: ConfirmedMonumental Dam from Time of Biblical Kings Uncovered
late ninth century BCE (Iron Age II)
Why it matters
Archaeologists in Jerusalem have uncovered the largest dam ever constructed in ancient Israel, dating to the late ninth century BCE during the reigns of kings Joash and Amaziah of Judah. The dam, located in the City of David, would have created the Pool of Siloam and reshaped the city's water system.

Credibility: ContestedInscription Links Sergius Paulus to Pisidian Antioch, Shedding Light on Paul's Route
Yalvaç Museum (ancient Pisidian Antioch) · August 2026
An honorific inscription in the Yalvaç Museum (ancient Pisidian Antioch) mentions the Paulli family and L. Sergius Paulus, likely the proconsul of Cyprus who converted in Acts 13. This supports the idea that Paul and Barnabas traveled to Pisidian Antioch because of a connection with Sergius Paulus, possibly with a letter of recommendation. The find helps explain Paul's otherwise puzzling detour through rugged mountains.
Credibility: Confirmed1,300-year-old industrial hub uncovered during bus terminal construction in Ramat Gan
Jaffa—biblical Joppa—with Jerusalem · August 2026
A salvage excavation conducted before construction of a new bus terminal uncovered a planned industrial and commercial district beneath the parking lot of Winter Stadium in Ramat Gan. The complex contained intersecting streets, shops, warehouses, pottery kilns, liquid-production installations, lamps, coins, tools, and other objects. It operated mainly during the early Islamic period and was later reused for housing.
Credibility: ConfirmedUrartu’s Inscribed Bronze Bowls
Urartu (biblical Ararat), various museum collections · August 2026
A new study of over 100 inscribed bronze bowls from the ancient kingdom of Urartu (biblical Ararat) reveals how Urartian cuneiform evolved and how royal authority was expressed. The bowls, now in museums across Armenia and Russia, show a gradual standardization of script and provide indirect evidence for royal workshops. The study offers fresh insights into a civilization that left few written records.
