An Israeli ancient history professor says his recent translation of inscriptions describing the works of biblical Judean King Hezekiah in Jerusalem’s City of David is “one of the most important archaeological discoveries in Israel of all time.” Considering the pace of discoveries in Israel just in the past year, that is a significant claim. The inscriptions took more than 10 years for two scientists to decipher after they began to examine a stone tablet which was discovered during excavations in the City of David National Park in 2007.
