2,600-Year-Old Wooden Beams from First Temple Destruction Unearthed in Jerusalem
Archaeologists in Jerusalem have discovered ancient wooden beams dating back approximately 2,600 years to 586 B.C., the period of the First Temple's destruction. The preserved sycamore beams were found coated in melted plaster, suggesting they once supported the roof of an inner courtyard. Researchers used dendrochronology — the study of tree growth rings — to accurately determine the age of the timber. The find is considered a rare and significant archaeological link to one of Jerusalem's most historically important periods.
