The critics contended that the ancient people of the Old Testament times were too primitive to record documents with precise details.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In doing so, these critics basically claimed that there was no verification that the people and cities mentioned in the oldest of Biblical accounts ever really existed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The discovery of the Ebla archive in northern Syria in the 1970\u2032s confirmed that the Biblical records concerning the Patriarchs are spot on. It was during the excavations in northern Syria that the excavating found a large library inside a royal archive room. This library had tablets dating from 2400 -2300 BC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The excavating team discovered almost 15,000 ancient tablets and fragments which when joined together accounted for about 2,500 tablets. Amazingly, these tablets confirmed that personal and location titles in the Biblical Patriarchal accounts are authentic. These tablets are known as the Ebla Tablets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">For a long period of time, the critics of the Old Testament used to argue that the name \u2018Canaan\u2019 was used wrongly in the early chapters of the Bible. They claimed the name Canaan was never used at that specific time in history. They further accused that the name was inserted in the Old Testament afterwards, while the earliest books of The Holy Bible were not written in the times that are described.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">However, with the discovery of the tablets from the northern Syria, the word the word \u201cCanaan\u201d does appear, contrary to the claims of the critics. The tablets proved that the term was actually used in ancient Syria during the time in which the Old Testament was written.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Additionally, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were also thought to be pure fiction by Bible critics. These cities are also identified in the Ebla tablets, in addition to the city of Haran. Haran is described in Genesis as the city of Abram\u2019s father, Terah. Previous to this discovery, \u2018scholars\u2019 suspected the actual presence of the ancient city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In addition to this, countless other archaeological findings confirm the Biblical records to be real and accurate.
