WATCH: The Mesha Stele: A Historic Discovery of Biblical Proportions

The stele serves as archaeological proof of some of the stories written in the Bible

In 1868, a French missionary made an incredible discovery in the ruins of an ancient Moabite town, in what is now Jordan. He stumbled upon the Mesha Stele, a four-foot-tall black stone dating back to 840 BCE.

The stele is written in Moabite, a language that closely resembles the characters and structure of ancient Hebrew. It documents a victory by King Mesha of Moab over King Omri of Israel.

Its discovery triggered a colonial frenzy, as European nations scrambled to claim the artifact, while local Bedouin tribes refused to hand it over. The stele itself was even destroyed to pieces, but not before a French emissary was able to make an imprint of the text – that papier-mache cast is what helped archaeologists learn what was inscribed and guided conservationists in piecing it back together.

More and more proof that Israel belongs to the Jewish people continues to be discovered. To any, rational mind, it’s impossible to deny.
