Archaeologist Eilat Mazar approached excavation in Jerusalem with a unique perspective — she treated the Bible as a historical source. Reading the account of King David, she noticed a directional detail: David descended from his palace into the fortress. That implied the palace had to be located above that area. Based on that reasoning, she excavated a specific location and uncovered a large structure that many archaeologists now identify as a royal palace — possibly David’s. This is an example of using a historical text to guide investigation and then testing it against physical evidence. Watch the full episode: CreationToday.org/471
