ISIS is
going around destroying any and all historical sites that belong to any
religion besides Islam. But they
may have just unwittingly helped prove the veracity of at least one book of the
Bible.

| The remains of the Tomb of Prophet Jonah, destroyed by Islamic State militants, in Mosul, Iraq |
While
occupying the Iraqi city of Mosul, ISIS demolished the traditional Tomb of
Jonah (July 2014), the biblical prophet tasked with preaching to the people of the Assyrian
capital of Nineveh.
After ISIS
was recently pushed out of Mosul (Jan 2017), archeologists had a chance to examine the
wreckage, and made a stunning discovery. Fox
News reported that below the ancient tomb lies the long-lost palace
of the Assyrian King Sennacherib, whose invasion of Judah and miraculous defeat
before the walls of Jerusalem is extensively documented in the Bible.
In the
palace, archeologists have begun to uncover ancient inscriptions and documents
from the time of Sennacherib, his son King Esarhaddon, and his son King
Ashurbanipal. The find
is one of the more exciting archeological finds in recent years, and provides
yet further evidence that the biblical account of Middle East history is
accurate.
