Gilgamesh’s Flood Account
Despite the excitement of Bible critics, a thorough examination reveals the Gilgamesh account to be mythology and the Genesis account to be believable.

Lachish Letters
The Lachish Letters add to the large body of evidence that show that the people and places recorded in the Bible were real and that the events mentioned, actually took place.

The Oldest Hebrew Script ever Discovered Supports Moses’ Writings
The Bible states at the start, that it is a written account (Genesis 5:1) and this discovery of the earliest Hebrew writing showed it to be alphabetic and available to be used for this purpose.
