Didn’t bother to read it, or do you lack comprehension?

The earring was found in a layer of ash that also contained bronze and iron arrowheads, Iron Age potsherds, and lamps. Lewis explained that the arrowheads were of Scythian origin. The Scythians, believed to be Eurasian nomads, were mercenary archers hired by the Babylonians. Such arrowheads have been found at other archaeological conflict sites in Israel and outside dating from the 7th and 6th centuries BCE.
“They were like the special forces since the Scythians were the best archers of the time,” Lewis said. “Also from this, we know that this was a scene of a Babylonian battle. We can say for certain that the archaeological context of the site was the taking of Jerusalem.“

Just more assumptions that make no sense, unless a lot of other assumptions are taken. Sorry you had to include a personal attack to make whatever lame point you are attempting.

Just not enough evidence to warrant the claim.
