Old Testament figure named on 2600-year-old tablet

[aaron]

THE British Museum yesterday hailed a discovery within a clay tablet in its collection as a breakthrough for biblical archeology - proof of the accuracy of the Old Testament.
The cuneiform inscription in a tablet dating from 595BC has been deciphered for the first time - revealing a reference to an official at the court of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, that proves the historical existence of a figure mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah.
It is rare evidence in a non-biblical source of a real person, other than kings, featured in the Bible.

This sort of stuff fascinates me. Thanks, Aaron.

Considering the period of time the Bible covers, it is our oldest "History"

book and full of actual people and places from those times.

I do believe it is divinely inspired and is more correct than many believe,

although, IMO, some of it is written for the audience of the times, i.e., in

such a way as men of that era could understand the concepts of ancient

history thousands if not millions of years prior to the time it was written.


Thanks for the post, Aaron.
