don't have more evidence
for them over time.
they get exposed,
and people
don't go die for a hoax.
Pretty simple stuff.
found near Jerusalem’s Temple Mount

The Times of Israel
"2,700-year-old fragment of pottery
suggests Judeans delayed paying their tributes to the empire,
echoing the events described in the book of II Kings."
"An Assyrian inscription dating to around 2,700 years ago was unearthed in an archaeological excavation near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City — the first time written evidence of the relations between the Assyrian Empire and the Kingdom of Judah has been discovered in the city, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced Wednesday."
“In the 14th year of King Hezekiah, King Sennacherib of Assyria marched against all the fortified towns of Judah and seized them. King Hezekiah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: ‘I have done wrong; withdraw from me; and I shall bear whatever you impose on me. So the king of Assyria imposed upon King Hezekiah of Judah a payment of 300 talents of silver and 30 talents of gold,” reads II Kings (18:13-14).
The military campaign and the exorbitant tributes imposed on Judah were also recorded on the Sennacherib prisms, clay cylinders inscribed with a detailed account of the king’s deeds."
“It is a wonderful addition to the history of the relations between Judah and Assyria,” he added. “We already knew from documents that were found in Assyria that there were Judean emissaries in the court of the Assyrian king and Judean travelers or merchants doing business in Assyria. Now, for the first time, we have evidence from Jerusalem and not from Assyria.”
(What do you think they did?
Made up the same
story at two different places?)
“We have the connection between archeology, history, and science,” he said. “This artifact is very, very important in connecting the history of the Land of Israel to the Bible and to the history of the ancient Near East as a whole.”
