Apr 30, 2024... REHOVOT, ISRAEL—April 30, 2024—Jerusalem has been inhabited continuously for thousands of years, serving as both a center of religious significance and a seat of power for kingdoms, yet despite the vast number of historical texts about the city, there are still gaps in its absolute chronology. Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in collaboration with a team of archaeologists from the City of David archaeological site in Jerusalem, Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University, have now managed to put together a detailed chronology of Iron Age Jerusalem, when the city would have served as the capital of the biblical Kingdom of Judah. The findings of this study are being published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA (PNAS).
