In 1980, archaeologist Adam Zertal began excavating Mount Ebal, near the ancient city of Shechem—modern-day Nablusin the West Bank. After decades of little success by earlier researchers, Zertal’s team uncovered a large stone structure that took years to fully reveal.
Remarkably, the structure matches the biblical instructions for an altar: built from uncut field stones, with no iron tools,and accessed by a ramp rather than steps. Explore the archaeological details and the significance of this remarkable find!
