The year 2020 may have been
annus horribilis for the living, but it was a banner year for archaeology. Some discoveries enlightened and enriched us and others evoked howls, such as the “face of Yahweh” figurine discovered in Khirbet Qeiyafa, nails that some theorize may be related to Jesus’ crucifixion, or where the town of Bethsaida really was. Others shed fascinating new light on our history, such as the true character of the reviled King Manasseh, and the discovery that hominins predating modern human evolution determined the outcome of the Battle of Hattin in the year 1187. Archaeologists also found an extraordinary Canaanite fort and an Assyrian siege rap at Azekah, and meanwhile, a village continued to excavate itself and unearthed a Byzantine church. And why exactly did the ancient Hebrews make figurines of naked women? Inquiring minds can find out all that and much more in the best archaeology stories of Haaretz in 2020.
