TRUE OR FALSE! Biblical Goliath Skull Found In A Tomb Near Jerusalem (PHOTOS)

Here is a story of the discovery of Goliath’s skull in a
valley at the western part of Jerusalem, the Israeli capital
with the stone (from David’s sling) still stuck on the
forehead. Hope you all remember the story of the
CHALLENGE BOUT between David and Goliath in the
Bible? Sure you all do
This startling discovery was made sometime ago by a
leading archaeologist, Dr Richard Martin who says it
proves that David’s battle with the 10-foot giant really
happened just like the Bible said it did. He labelled it the
“archeological finding of the century, if not of all
time”.Back then, at a news conference in Jerusalem, he
had told reporters: “Many people including scholars and
clergymen would have us believe that the biblical account
of David and Goliath is little more than an interesting
piece of fiction. “But we found this skull in the valley of
Elah, in the foothill of the Judean Mountains, where
David’s battle with Goliath was said to have taken place.
Even more intriguing, the skull is huge and clearly
belonged to a man of enormous stature. And if you
believe the Bible, you know that Goliath stood nine-feet
shoulders tall. “But most telling piece of evidence is the
small round rock we found embedded in the forehead.
The Bible tells us that David killed Goliath with a stone
flung from a leather sling. It might be - but I don’t think
so.”Martin found the skull during a routine archaelogical
survey about 20 miles southwest of Jerusalem. He and
his assistants instantly realized that the find was
important. It was not until they performed tests that
showed the skull to be between 2,900 and 3,000 years old
that they had actually found the remains of Goliath.
According to the Bible, the battle between David and
Goliath happened around 900B.C or 1000 years before
the birth of Jesus Christ.
The Bible tells us that the battle began as a band of
Israelites were preparing to fight a band of Philistines on
the valley of Elah.
At that point in history, it was common for enemies to
avoid massive casualties by allowing one man from each
side to fight for their respective armies. To quote the
Bible, the Philistines Goliath challenged the Israelites to
“choose a man and let him come to me. If he is able to
fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants.
But if I prevail and kill him, then you shall serve us”.
David took up the challenge and killed Goliath with a
single stone thrown from a leather sling. When Goliath hit
the ground, David chopped off his head with Goliath’s
own sword. Dr Martin confirmed that the skull he saw had
a rock stuck in the forehead.
“There was also evidence to suggest that the head had
been severed from the body by a sharp object, most likely
a sword. I know that the evidence is circumstantial but
when you put it all together, there can be little doubt that
this is Goliath’s skull. To be perfectly frank, I’m staking
my career on it,” he said.
While biblical scholars and other experts consider the
ramifications of Dr Martin’s report, the archaeologist
himself is planning to return to the site to search for other
relics. “Goliath was wearing a helmet and coat of mail
when he was slain by David and we would like nothing
more than to find them,” he added.
