Eilat Mazar, an Israeli archeologist, believes she has discovered an age to fortifications found in Jerusalem. She claims that they are indeed 3,000 years old and that this goes hand in hand with the story from the Bible about a strong centralized government having a presence there during that time. According to the Bible, kings Solomon and David were ruling at that time.
"It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction," she said.
Of course, there are folks that are saying they don't see the evidence that way or, they don't agree. Mazar is convinced this finding is accurate, supportive of the Bible's account, and that the age of material found is indeed 3,000 years old.
