Recent archaeological discoveries in Megiddo, linked to King Josiah's biblical narrative, have unearthed artifacts like pottery from Egyptian origins, dating back to the mid-seventh century BCE. These findings suggest the presence of Pharaoh Necho's army during the time Josiah was killed in 609 BCE. The presence of sub-par pottery indicates it was likely left behind by Necho's forces rather than imported by locals. This adds evidence to the historical context surrounding the ancient battle of Armageddon, although details about Josiah's demise remain unclear.
"This is not decorated fine tableware, so it's very hard to argue that someone at Megiddo, a deportee or a surviving Israelite, all of a sudden acquired a taste for sub-par Egyptian pottery and decided to import it into his house."
"The most likely explanation for its presence at Armageddon is that it was brought there by Necho's army and later abandoned, the researchers concluded."
"While this new evidence does not tell us much about the details of Josiah's death, it does point to Necho's military presence at Armageddon around that time, bringing experts one step closer to understanding what took place on that ancient battlefield."
"Archaeologists have found evidence to support the Biblical story of Josiah, the last king of Judah, who was fatally wounded during the last battle of Armageddon."
