Fifty important artifacts and discoveries are listed in chronological order at www.bibleandarchaeology.com. The collection includes photographs from a variety of sources. If I only had time to teach ten to a class, I would choose these:
- #2: Merneptah Stele
- #3: Ten Dan Inscription
- #6: Kurkh Monolith
- #7: Black Obelisk
- #8: Mesha Stele
- #13: Hezekiah’s Tunnel
- #16: Lachish Reliefs
- #20: Ketef Hinnom Amulets
- #28: Cyrus Cylinder
- #43: Pool of Siloam
- #46: Gallio Inscription
Alternately, you can just pass on the link to your class (or friends or pastor) and they can get a quick study in the world of biblical archaeology.
