(SputnikNews) The archaeologists working at the site of what may or may not be the ruins of the biblical city of Ai used the description of the battle from the Book of Joshua to help pinpoint the location.
A team of archaeologists led by Dr Scott Stripling, which have been excavating a site near Jerusalem for several years, now claim to have finally discerned the exact location of the Biblical city of Ai, as mentioned in the Old Testament.
The excavation is being conducted under the auspices of the Associates for Biblical Research (ABR), described by the Breaking Israel News website as "a Christian organisation that brings together Biblical research and archaeology to mutually advance both disciplines".
