Archaeologists have unearthed an unusual collection of ceramics at Megiddo, which they believe may be linked to Pharaoh Necho's army that killed King Josiah.
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of the Egyptian army that killed King Josiah of Judah at Megiddo around 609 BCE. The discovery includes a large collection of Egyptian and Greek pottery in a newly excavated building at Megiddo, suggesting the presence of Necho's army, possibly accompanied by Greek mercenaries. This find provides new insights into the cultural and ethnic makeup of Megiddo during this period and sheds light on the biblical account of Josiah's demise, which has significant implications for Jewish and Christian apocalyptic traditions.
