Archaeologists May Have Found the Old Testament City of Ai
February 15, 2019
Dr. Scott Stripling and a team of archaeologists say they may have found the location of the Biblical city of Ai from the Old Testament. The team, the Associates for Biblical Research, has been excavating the site near Jerusalem for years, according to SputnikNews.com.
"There were 14 years of difficult digging with an 8-year hiatus due to the Intifada," Stripling said, referring to the Palestinian uprising against Israel. "We suffered from constant vandalism. But we persevered and did an excellent job of excavating."
The city of Ai was a Canaanite city described in the Book of Joshua where the city was ambushed by Joshua and the Israelites.
