Walking where history happened is a transformative experience! Imagine, then, being able to excavate and discover the secrets of one of the most important cities of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. Explore with us and discover how new archaeological findings help reconstruct the biblical battles in Lachish and better understand one of the most fascinating settings in biblical history. In this video, we explore evidence found in the excavations and show how these findings relate to biblical accounts of wars, conquests, and destructions that marked the history of this important city.
Get a close look at vestiges linked to the great conflicts of Lachish, from Assyrian and Babylonian attacks to archaeological discoveries that reveal how faith, prophecy, and religion were part of the daily life of those people.
The video was recorded in partnership with Aline, from the channel @IsraelcomAline, during archaeological excavations carried out in Israel in 2026. Want to experience this firsthand? Sign up to participate in the 2027 excavations: https://israelcomaline.com.br/viagens...
In this video you will understand:
📜 WHAT WERE THE LACHISH LETTERS AND WHAT WAS THEIR IMPORTANCE?
The Lachish Letters are a collection of ostraca (pottery shards with inscriptions) found at the city gate.
🏛️ WHY WAS LACHISH SUCH AN IMPORTANT CITY IN THE BIBLE?
Lachish was the second most important city in the Kingdom of Judah, surpassed only by the capital, Jerusalem.
🚽 WHAT DOES THE DISCOVERY OF A PAGAN TEMPLE WITH A BATHROOM REVEAL?
The discovery of a sanctuary at the city gate, with a pagan altar whose horns were deliberately broken and a latrine (toilet) installed next to it, is one of the most direct archaeological evidences of the religious reforms described in the Bible.

📖 GLOSSARY
1. Ostracon: A piece of pottery (shard of a vase) used in antiquity as writing material for notes, letters, or drafts.
2. Tel: An artificial hill formed by successive layers of human occupation over the centuries. Each layer represents a city built upon the ruins of the previous one.
3. Matzevah: An upright stone or stele, used in religious rituals. It could be a memorial, an altar, or an object of worship, both in the context of the God of Israel (as Jacob did) and in pagan cults.
4. Iconoclasm: The practice of destroying religious images or monuments, usually for religious or political reasons. The reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah were iconoclastic movements.
5. Adobe: A type of brick made of clay, sand, and organic material (such as straw), dried in the sun. It was a common building material in the ancient Middle East.

My name is Rodrigo Silva, I am a Christian and married to Laura. Here I share some stories from my life dedicated to the Holy Bible, Bible Study and Archaeology. From a young age, I have been fascinated by the past and the stories that ancient artifacts and ruins can tell. My journey in archaeology has been full of adventures, exciting discoveries, and a deep connection to the past. With each excavation, with each artifact found, I feel more grateful for having chosen to follow this passion. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
