Scientists say they are using new technology that could allow them to properly date several military conquests depicted in the Bible and potentially validate the scriptures' historical authenticity. 

Biblical accounts of military campaigns by against the kingdoms of Israel and Judah verified by geomagnetic dating.

Researches from Tel Aviv University, The Hebrew University, and beyond are using the latest technology to verify wars from the Bible.

Scientists used a collection of mud stones containing magnetic minerals that record magnetic fields when heated to prove that several cities were burned to the ground.

The team found evidence of these historical events in burnt remnants from 21 archaeological sites.

The study results verify biblical accounts of military campaigns against the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

The new data verify the biblical accounts of the Egyptian, Aramean, Assyrian, and Babylonian military campaigns against the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

TAU and the Hebrew University collaborated on a study that precisely dated 21 destruction levels at 17 archaeological sites in Israel by recreating the direction and/or strength of the earth's magnetic field recorded in charred residues.

Jerusalem has been described as the most hotly-contested piece of real estate on earth.

In the human realm, Torah study waxes and wanes. We are currently living through a renaissance of Torah study and therefore have particular reason to celebrate Simhat Torah.
