König Davids Zitadelle gefunden
klauslange,15:05h
Die in der Bibel beschriebene Zitadelle, die König David eroberte wurde nun gefunden und bestätigt einmal mehr die Bibel, siehe hier.
Daraus:
Shukron, who excavated at the City of David archaeological site for nearly two decades, says he believes strong evidence supports his theory.
"This is the citadel of King David, this is the Citadel of Zion, and this is what King David took from the Jebusites," said Shukron, who said he recently left Israel's Antiquities Authority to work as a lecturer and tour guide. "The whole site we can compare to the Bible perfectly."
...
The fortification was built 800 years before King David would have captured it from its Jebusite rulers. Shukron says the biblical story of David's conquest of Jerusalem provides clues that point to this particular fortification as David's entry point into the city.
In the second Book of Samuel, David orders the capture of the walled city by entering it through the water shaft. Shukron's excavation uncovered a narrow shaft where spring water flowed into a carved pool, thought to be where city inhabitants would gather to draw water. Excess water would have flowed out of the walled city through another section of the shaft Shukron said he discovered—where he believes the city was penetrated.
Shukron says no other structure in the area of ancient Jerusalem matches what David would have captured to take the city. The biblical account names it the "Citadel of David" and the "Citadel of Zion."
Selbstverständlich wird in dem Artikel auch Kritik laut. Doch dass verwundert nicht, sind doch solche Funde auch hochpolitisch, wo doch versucht wird den Juden die Altstadt Jerusalems durch internationalem Druck wegzunehmen. Darum hat sich die Wissenschaft aber nicht zu kümmern. Die archäologischen Funde, die das Königtum Davids bestätigen, sind nun einmal vorhanden und sprechen eine klare Sprache...!
