Archaeological discovery supports Biblical account of Shiloh's destruction

Archaeological discovery supports Biblical account of Shiloh's destruction - National Western Religions | Examiner.com: "The discovery of a broken clay pitcher in a bed of ashes near Shiloh, the ancient capital of Israel, suggests the city was burned to the ground, according to an article in yesterday's Huffington Post.



The Ark of the Convenant, which was the centerpiece of a Steven Spielberg Indiana Jones movie, was kept in Shiloh by the Israelites around the 12th century B.C. until it was captured by the Philistines. Spielberg's movie was named Raiders of the Lost Ark and included a plot in which the U.S. government asked Indiana Jones to find the Ark before the Nazis did. Although Spielberg's film was fictional, the Ark did actually temporarily fall into the hands of the Philistines in ancient days."
