14. For instance, how did fourth or third century authors accurately record in scripture these now archaeologically attested events of the 6th through the 10th century B.C.:
    -Close archaeological correlation between the biblical text and the destruction of Timri and the founding of Sumeria in the 9th Century B.C.; (Associates for Biblical Truth; King Omri: Digging for Truth Episode 105; (01:39), youtube.com, 27 September 2020.)
    -The discovery of the ancient palace of Omri, a 9th Century B.C. King of Israel, and his son Ahab; (Associates for Biblical Truth; King Omri: Digging for Truth Episode 105; (15:50), youtube.com, 27 September 2020.);
    -The Moabite Stone, also known as the Mesha Inscription:This stella describes the exploits of King Omri as seen through the eyes of an enemy; (Associates for Biblical Truth; King Omri: Digging for Truth Episode 105; (18:45), youtube.com, 27 September 2020; and (Curse Tablet: A Response (w/ Chris Rollston), Youtube, Sen McDowell, (38:28) June 2, 2023.
    -The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III also discussed Omri and a subsequent King of Israel, Jehu (Id. 41;24) and (Associates for Biblical Truth; King Omri: Digging for Truth Episode 105; (01:39), youtube.com, (20:15), 27 September 2020.)
    -The Tel Dan Inscription evidences that Judah’s royalty in the 9th Century B. C. considered itself a descendant of the House of David. It also likely refers to a conspiracy suggested in 1 Kings 19:15-18 between Hazael, King of Aram-Damascus, and Jehu. (CBN Israel Blog, Biblical Artifact: Tel Dan Inscription, Marc Turnage, https://cbnisrael.org, (paragraphs 1-5), 2021/10/26).
    -The 700 B.C. Deir Alla Plaster mentioning Baalam son of Beor a Seer, evidencing at least an ancient memory of the character portrayed in Numbers 22-24  (Curse Tablet: A Response (w/ Chris Rollston), Youtube, Sean McDowell, (42:47) June 2, 2023).
    Geomagnetic dating verifies an intricate biblical sequence of military campaigns of the Arameans, Assyrians, Babylonians, Edomites,th and Egyptians from around 930 B.C. to 586 B.C. (Israel 21C, Geomagnetic field dating confirms the Bible’s narrative, Marion Fischel, paragraph 1, October 26, 2022, Updated November 2, 2022, israel21c.org.
    
    The Documentary Hypothesis must also account for such things as these:
    -The Silver Scrolls of Ketef Hinnom, 6th Century B.C., the earliest known Biblical text; and
    -Evidence of the use of an early alphabetic script in the Middle East extending beyond the 15th to even the 18th century B.C. (Curse Tablet: A Response (w/ Chris Rollston),(52:12 and 51:41) Youtube, Sen McDowell, June 2, 2023.
    
    Regarding The Book of Daniel: Linguists found that the Hebrew of Daniel is earlier than that of the Second Century Dead Sea Scrolls
    
    Plus they determined that its Aramaic ranges between 600 and 330 B.C. They reached that conclusion in assessing it against official documents of that earlier period as opposed to that of the second century B.C. (K.A. Kitchen, “The Aramaic of Daniel” in Notes on Some Problems in the Book of Daniel, ed. P.J. Wiseman, et al. (London: Tyndale, 1964). Online: https://biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/tp/notes-daniel/daniel_kitchen.pdf (Accessed Aug.11,2022).
    
    The large number of fragments of the Book of Daniel found among the Dead Sea Scrolls signifies it canonization much earlier than the Second Century B.C. Also, supporting this is references to the Book of Daniel in other scrolls found at Qumran.(Randall Prie and H. Wayne House, Zondervan Handbook of Biblical Archaeology (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2017), p. 177-178; Gerhard Hasel, “New Light on the Book of Daniel from the Dead Sea Scrolls.” Associates for Biblical Research, July 31, 2021; and https://biblearchaeology.org/research/topics/ancient-manuscripts/3193-new-light-on-the-book-of-daniel-from-the-dead-sea-scrolls (Accessed Aug. 11, 2022).
    
    There are other archaeological discoveries that disparage the idea that scribes could have written Daniel in the Second Century. These include evidence of specific knowledge about events and people that would likely have been available at that late time. Those discoveries are:
    
    -The Nebuchadnezzar Stele;
    -The Nebo-Sarsekim Tablet;
    -Nebuchadnezzar’s Palace;
    -The Esagila (Temple of Marduk);
    -The Ishtar Gate and Processional Way;
    -Babylonian Chronicle 5;
    -The Nabonidus Cylinders;
    -The Nabonidus Chronicle; and
    -The Cyrus Cylinder. (Bible Archaeology Report, Ibid. ↩︎
