A trove of tablets found in Turkey over a century ago revealed the chronology of the Hittite civilisation, which is mentioned a number of times in the Old Testament.
An archaeological discovery related to the ancient Hittite civilisation made in early 20th century sheds new light on the Bible as a historical document, the Sunday Express reports citing Tom Meyer, a professor of Bible studies at Shasta Bible College.
According to the newspaper, the discovery in question helped confirm the very existence of the Hittite civilisation which, despite being mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament, had a rather unsubstantial archaeological record.
