(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists have discovered an ancient dam
in Jerusalem’s City of David, not far from the body of water
where Jesus Christ healed a blind man.

Officials noted in an Aug. 30 release that the wall was recently
found during excavations near the Pool of Siloam within the
Jerusalem Walls National Park.

The Pool of Siloam, rediscovered in 2004, existed as a basin
fed by the Gihon Spring. The Gospel of John recounts the
testimony of a blind man who was healed by Jesus at the
pool.

John 9:10–11 states, "’How then were your eyes opened?’ they
asked. He replied, ‘The man they call Jesus made some mud
and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So
I went and washed, and then I could see.’

The newly discovered dam dates to the ninth century B.C.,
nearly 2,800 years ago. It could have been built under the reign
of either King Joash or King Amaziah, according to officials.

(FOXNEWS) – An American-Israeli researcher translated 3,800-year-
old inscriptions that may predate the Bible by centuries.

A researcher may have uncovered the oldest written references
to Moses, dating back 3,800 years and hidden in an Egyptian
desert.

The two etchings were found at Serabit el-Khadim, an ancient
turquoise mining site in the Sinai Desert where Semitic laborers
once worked during the Middle Bronze Age.

The Proto-Sinaitic inscriptions date back between 1800 and 1600
B.C. 

They were etched centuries before the earliest parts of the Bible
were written between the 10th and 7th centuries B.C.

The two inscriptions, among many at the site, were first discovered
in the early 1900s, but they’re now being reanalyzed by an American-Israeli epigraphist named Michael S. Bar-Ron.

The expert, who’s also a graduate student at Ariel University, spoke
with Fox News Digital about the discovery.

A recent excavation has revealed the location where Jesus of
Nazareth performed a miracle over 2,000 years ago.

Researchers uncovered the steps that led to the Pool of Siloam
where Jesus healed a blind man.

The pool and its greater surroundings have been uncovered in
the project, making it a major excavation in the world of Biblical
history.
