Archaeologists have found ancient military camps in Israel, believed to be remnants of King Sennacherib's siege of Jerusalem 2,700 years ago. This discovery aligns with 2 Kings 19:35, where an "angel of the Lord" is said to have struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. Published in *Near Eastern Archaeology*, the findings are stirring debate among scholars and believers.

Using carvings from Sennacherib's palace and aerial photos of Lachish, researchers identified Assyrian military sites previously mistaken for Roman. Names like "Khirbet al Mudawwara" (ruins of the invading ruler's camp) add historical weight.

This discovery links archaeology with biblical narratives, providing insights into ancient military strategies while sparking both excitement and skepticism.
