Tiny tablet provides proof for Old Testament
July 11, 2007 - Michael Jursa, a visiting professor from Vienna, made an amazing discovery in the British Museum last Thursday. Professor Jursa, an Assyriologist, was reading various cuneiform tablets, when he recognized the name Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, described as "the chief eunuch" of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon." He correlated this find with "Nebo-Sarsekim, a chief officer" in Jeremiah 39:3.
He had made what has been called the most important find in Biblical archaeology for 100 years, a discovery that supports the view that the historical books of the Old Testament are based on fact. Source: Telegraph - UK
