2,000-year-old battle relics provide evidence of the last battle of Jerusalem


Archaeologists have found additional evidence of the last battle of Jerusalem from 2,000 years ago, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Nature and Parks Authority. EXPERTS DISCOVER 'CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS' ANCHOR AT CARIBBEAN SHIPWRECK SITENahshon Szanton and Moran Hagbi, the directors of the excavation, said the ballista balls were used by the Romans to bombard Jerusalem during the battle. Conversely, the arrowheads were used by the Jewish forces in their defense of the city. The dig also has uncovered a portion of road -- 100 meters long by 7.5 meters wide -- which was paved with stone slab. Highlighting the advanced methods the team is using, which include methods from natural science, biology and geology, Szanton said, "they enable researchers to address questions that have not yet been studied.”
