First Temple Remains Found on Temple Mount

Despite mountains of evidence, many archeologists treat the Bible with the reflexive skepticism many reserve for "Wet Paint" signs.

Here, for example, is a quote from the director of Tel-Aviv University’s Institute of Archaeology:

there exists no archaeological evidence for Solomon’s Temple

Today brings another major confirmation of the existence of the Temple from those obsessed with eradication of its memory:

Israeli archaeologists overseeing infrastructure work to replace electrical cables on the Temple Mount have discovered a sealed archaeological level dating back to the era of the first biblical Jewish Temple, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Sunday. The Antiquities Authority announced it had discovered fragments of ceramic table ware and animal bones dating from the 6th to the 10th centuries BCE. "The layer is a closed, sealed archaeological layer that has been undisturbed since the 8th century BCE," said Jon Seligman, Jerusalem regional archaeologist for the Antiquities Authority.
