The conquests had been. The Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar II, completely demolished the cities he had conquered. He boasted, after beating Egypt, that “nobody or not a solo man escaped” his attack and the archaeological proof showed that he was not exaggerating. From the ruins he had left behind, he had left the states he conquered totally barren. The survivors had been dragged into his state, and the parched earth that at one time had been their home has been left desolate and empty.
“The mixture of the ash layer filled with artifacts, blended with arrowheads, and the very exclusive ornament indicates that there are some kind of destruction and devastation,” the UNC Charlotte instructors Shimon Gibson stated to Haaretz. “Nobody abandoned the golden jewelry and that nobody had the arrowheads in the domestic refuse.”
The Mount Zion is one hill in Jerusalem, situated just exterior the walls of an Old City. Excavations had been carried away there by the global group of examiners from the University of Haifa and Carolina, who had been collaborating on Mount Zion Archaeological Plan, which has been managing for over 10 years. The intention of Mount Zion Plan is to expose, preserve and examine all levels of habitat over the route of Jerusalem’s 3,000 years of history.
The plan has been co-directed by Professor Shimon Gibson, Professor James Tabor and Dr. Rafi Lewis. According to the Eurekalert.org it ‘‘had create numerous important finds related to the ancient town” including some in connection with the Crusaders blockade of the town in 1099 AD.
