Israeli archaeologists excavating near the Tower of David Museum uncovered a rare clay mold used to craft the face of a female figurine during the First Temple period, the first such mold ever found in Jerusalem.

Archaeologists in Jerusalem's City of David uncovered charred wooden beams from the First Temple, destroyed in 586 BCE, offering rare precision dating and a moving physical link to the ancient catastrophe.

Seal includes a winged figure and a Hebrew name inscribed in paleo-Hebrew script .

IAA researchers believe that the object, upon which originally the demon image alone appeared, was worn as an amulet around the neck of a man named Hoshʼayahu.

The document, dated to the late seventh or early sixth century BCE, is written in ancient Hebrew script on papyrus, and probably originated in the Judean Desert caves.

Scientists used recorded data to link the Holy Temple's destruction on a specific date in 586 BCE to measurements of the earth's magnetic field on that day.

A unique First Temple-era seal recently discovered at the Western Wall is the latest piece of archaeological evidence of ancient Jewish ties to Jerusalem.
