THE British Museum yesterday hailed a discovery within a clay tablet in its collection as a breakthrough for biblical archeology – proof of the accuracy of the Old Testament.
The cuneiform inscription in a tablet dating from 595BC has been deciphered for the first time – revealing a reference to an official at the court of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, that proves the historical existence of a figure mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah.
It is rare evidence in a non-biblical source of a real person, other than kings, featured in the Bible.
The tablet names a Babylonian officer called Nebo-Sarsekim who, according to Jeremiah 39 was present in 587BC when Nebuchadnezzar “marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege to it”.
The cuneiform inscription records how Nebo-Sarsekim lavished a gift of gold on the Temple of Esangila in the fabled city of Babylon, where, at least in folk tradition, Nebuchadnezzar is credited with building the Hanging Gardens, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
British Museum staff are excited by the discovery.

It makes one wonder what other priceless history is stored in the archives of the British Museum, which has many thousands of pieces it has never gotten around to looking at, translating, etc.
Ya Haqq!
it is interesting that, as Shaykh Hamza mentioned, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered 40 years ago, and the Vatican (which came into possession of them) still has not released full translation of them, nor do they allow the historical, biblical, or islamic scholars to examine them.
