(Israel) — [Breaking Israel News] What are likely to be Solomon's gates, as described in the Bible, have been uncovered at the Biblical Tamar Park in southern Israel.

"The Bible says that Solomon built a fortress in the desert. The archeologists are sure that they have found all the hallmarks of the gate of Solomon – all the hallmarks of the fortified city. They believe this was a fortress built by Solomon," Lagno told Breaking Israel News.

"The archeological evidence is consistent with 1 Kings 9:19, where it says Solomon built Tamar in the wilderness," he explained. "In addition, the pagan altars destroyed by King Josiah as described in 1 Kings 13:3 were also found, right outside of the gates."
