Armstrong Institute: 2025 biblical archaeology top ten

ANNUAL ARCHAEOLOGY LIST WATCH: Top 10 Biblical Archaeology Discoveries of 2025. From an Exodus-period pharaoh’s tomb to a depiction of one of Jerusalem’s greatest kings—here’s the new discoveries that caught our eye (ARMSTRONG INSTITUTE STAFF).

Most of these are familiar from the earlier 2025 lists. For PaleoJudaica overlap, mostly see them. I did not post on "7. Davidic Bronze Production" or on "10. Exodus-Period Fortress in Sinai," although I did note the discovery of a Ptolemaic and Roman-era military fortifications in the North Sinai. Number "1. Assyrian Depiction of Jerusalem and Hezekiah" only appeared in late December, and the other lists missed it. I posted on it here.
