JESUS BOAT FOUND IN THE SEA OF GALILEE IN ISRAEL


Discovered in 1986, after a long drought the water level dropped
enough to allow this boat to be discovered.
After a long, 12-day archeological excavation (the boat was kept in a
preserving environment and sailed across the Galilee river), the
“Jesus Boat” was put in a 7-year chemical bath of wax paraffin before
it could be displayed in the open air.
Since the time of its unearthing, the boat has been officially dated to
the 1st century. Almost 27 feet long, and over 7 feet wide, the boat
was dated based upon the nails used and the construction of the hull.
Most scholars agree that the era during which the boat was built falls
somewhere between 100 B.C and 100 A.D.
Beth Shan
 4000 BC to 749 AD
The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they
found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. They
cut off his head and stripped off his armor,… They put his
armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and fastened his body to
the wall of Beth Shan.
                                           1 Samuel 31:8-10

1- In all, scholars have identified the remains of about 825 to 870 separate scrolls.
2- every book of the Old Testament have been discovered except for the book of
Esther
3- The Isaiah Scroll, found relatively intact, is 1000 years older than any previously
known copy of Isaiah. In fact, the scrolls are the oldest group of Old Testament
manuscripts ever found
. - The Dead Sea Scrolls were most likely written by the Essenes during the period
4
from about 200 B.C. to 68 C.E./A.D.
.
5-The Dead Sea Scrolls enhance our knowledge of both Judaism and Christianity.
They show Christianity to be rooted in Judaism and have been called the
evolutionary link between the two.
Tel
Megiddo
Excavations have unearthed 26 layers of ruins, indicating
  a long period of settlement. Megiddo is strategically
  located at the head of a pass through the Carmel Ridge
  overlooking the Jezreel Valley from the west

The site was inhabited from approximately 7000 BC to 546 BC
