MOUNT EBAL GALLERY
Winter dig at Mount Ebal. We wet-sifted the dry-sift discards of Dr. Adam Zertal’s 1980’s excavations. By wet-difting this material, we recovered additional new artifacts, including one that has world-shaking significance: The Mount Ebal Curse Tablet. This was highlighted by both Christianity Today and the Armstrong Institute as the most significant discoveries of 2022.
