TrThis the mountain range that overlooks the Dead Sea in Israel where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by chance in 1947. Among some 900 documents, they found several copies of the book of Isaiah dated at 300 to 400 years before Christ. The texts from Qumran proved to be
word-for-word identical to our standard Hebrew Bible in more than 95 percent of the text

Many Archeological Excavations have helped vindicate details of the Bible that had been scoffed at by higher critics: (these are just a few)
The Cyrus Cylinder, discovered in 1879,
records Cyrus' overthrow of Babylon and his subsequent deliverance of the Jewish captives.
The Rosetta Stone,discovered in 1799 in Egypt by Napoleon's scientists,
was written in three languages: hieroglyphics, demotic, and Greek. It unlocked the mystery of the hieroglyphics which have helped confirm the authenticity of the Bible.
The Moabite Stone discovered in 1868 at Dibon, Jordan,
confirmed Moabite attacks on Israel as recorded in 2 Kings 1 and 3.
The Lachish Letters, discovered in 1932-1938,
24 miles north of Beersheba, described the attack of Nebuchadnezzar on Jerusalem in 586 BC.

Did the Church decide what books went into the Bible?
also answers;"Why were certain books "left out of the Bible?"
ARCHAEOLOGICAL FACT: discoveries have not ONCE contradicted Biblical accounts of cities, names of Kings or authorities, events, and people group locations, to the extent that the "Bible" is now the criteria by which discoveries are now measured for accuracy! It is hard to believe that so called "educated people" proclaim that Bible accounts are "myths."
"•In every instance where the findings of archaeology pertain to the Biblical record, the archaeological evidence confirms, sometimes in detailed fashion, the historical accuracy of Scripture. In those instances where the archaeological findings seem to be at variance with the Bible, the discrepancy lies with the archaeological evidence, i.e., improper interpretation, lack of evidence, etc. not with the Bible." Dr. Bryant C. Wood, Archaeologist.
