From 6,500-year-old DNA to the possible signature of the prophet Isaiah, Bible History Daily covered quite a range of topics in the last year! Below, check out our top 10 blog posts published in 2018 that received the most web traffic. Did your favorite post make the cut?
According to a recent DNA study, around 6,500 years ago, humans migrated from modern-day Turkey and the Zagros mountains of Iran to Israel’s Upper Galilee region, helping to introduce cultural changes in the southern Levant during the Late Chalcolithic period.
Because there was no concept of an afterlife in early Israelite religion, there was no concept of a heaven or ****. But following the exile and return from Babylon and the coming of the Greeks, Jewish literature suddenly began to contain references to heaven and ****.
Of the estimated 900 documents that comprise the Dead Sea Scrolls, two remain unpublished—until now. Scholars Eshbal Ratson and Jonathan Ben-Dov recently deciphered one of the last two remaining Dead Sea Scrolls. Written in code, the scroll describes a 364-day calendar used by the Qumran community that lived in the Judean Desert.
A ring discovered in 1969 at Herodium has finally been analyzed. It bears a Greek inscription reading “PILATO”—is this a reference to Pontius Pilate? Under what circumstance would Pilate (or anyone else for that matter) inscribe a ring with the name PILATO?
