3000 year old wall from the era of Solomon

Archeology has been a source of constant comfort for the Christian apologist. Every time an archeologist has set out to disprove a record from the Bible, they have failed. Now, a new discovery of a 3000 year old wall from the time of Solomon attests to the strong, rich government of Israel's wisest king.
Speaking to reporters at the site Monday, Mazar, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, called her find "the most significant construction we have from First Temple days in Israel."

"It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction," she said.
It will be interesting to see what else can be found alongside this wall. We may learn many things about the times of David and Solomon.
