Penemuan prasasti Asyur telah membuktikan identitas Sargon, salah satu raja terbesar bangsa itu (lihat Yes. 20:1-4); identifikasi situs Nineveh dan Menara Babel atau Birs Nimrud. Banyak fakta tentang raja, bangsa, kota, dan peristiwa telah terungkap dalam catatan kuno ini dari bata, batu, atau papirus, mengkonfirmasi sejarah Alkitab.
Question: 8. Has Bible History Been Substantiated?
Yes, to a very notable extent by investigations in Bible lands. Excavations of ancient Babylonian tablets have corroborated the Biblical story of the Flood. The discovery of Assyrian inscriptions has proved the identity of Sargon, one of the greatest of the kings of that nation (see Isa. 20:1-4); identification of the site of Nineveh and of the Tower of Babel or "Birs Nimrud." Many facts concerning kings, nations, cities and events have been brought to light in these ancient records of brick, stone or papyrus, confirming Scripture history.
