An old fortress some 20 miles southwest of the Dead Sea in Israel today has been called "one of the most spectacular finds of recent decades in all Israel." Archaeologists have unearthed the walls of a massive Iron Age fortress, built about 800 B.C., which are some 300 feet on each side and had massive towers on each corner. "OK," you may be thinking, "Why get excited over a pile of very old rocks in a desert?" Good question. And the answer goes deeper than archaeology. It embraces the historical trustworthiness of the Bible at the same time.
