Religious archaeologists in Israel claim they have discovered the stone on which Ark of Covenant once sat.
The biblical claim was made by researchers from Tel Aviv University who found a 3,100-year-old temple near the modern-day town of Beit Shemesh.
Religious teachings claim that the Ark contained the Ten Commandments received by Moses on Mount Sinai.
They also preach that the Ark rested on a square table and this latest find is being hailed as merging biblical teachings with archaeological evidence.
Archaeologists say it is strikingly similar to the mythical 'large stone' described in the First Book of Samuel.
It was used to hold up the Ark after it arrived at Beth Shemesh when it had returned to Israeli hands from the Philistines.
Excavations of the 12th century BC temple reveal it was subsequently plundered and 'intentionally desecrated' by the nearby Philistines who turned it into an animal pen.

Buboils are a symptom of black death. It is spread by fleas/rats.
In addition to an offering of golden “Buboils” the Philistines included golden mice.

Some archaeologists will monetize any thing as they scrabbl;e for more bucks to dig with.
Before BC’s conviction, that was a classic bit...Now I cant even laugh about “I’ve got some icecream...” :(
Really, ... the people in “The West Bank and Gaza” are Greek? Who knew? /s
Yes they were. BIG TIME. :)
Seems that they were a Greek people who settled in the area. They are not related to the Arab present occupants or the Jewish people there.
