A team of archaeologists have uncovered a 3,200-year-old lost city that was once a refuge of the biblical King David.  The excavated site lies in Khirbet a Rai in the Philistine city of Ziklag.  In the Bible,  Dsvid seeks refuge in Ziklag after fleeing from the Kingdom of Israel and the rule of King Saul.

Later,  after Saul's death,  David becomes king in Hebron and is granted rule over Ziklag.  In the Book of Joshua and the Book of Samuel,  Ziklag is described as belonging to the Philistines,  a group of people believed to hsve come from the Mediterranean.


They controlled much of present day central and southern Israel.
The excavation of the site began in 2015 and has yielded plenty of archaeological relics fromthe time the city was inhabited,  including bowls and pots.

According to the Bible,  Ziklag was ransacked and burnrd by a group of desert nomads called the Amalekites.

The analysis, published by the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, a think-tank in Melbourne, Australia, describes climate change as “a near- to mid-term existential threat to human civilization” and sets out a plausible scenario of where business-as-usual could lead over the next 30 years. The paper argues that the potentially “extremely serious outcomes” of climate-related security threats are often far more probable than conventionally assumed, but almost impossible to quantify because they “fall outside the human experience of the last thousand years.” On our current trajectory, the report warns, “planetary and human systems [are] reaching a ‘point of no re...
