Ai is not located at et-Tell, but at nearby Khirbet el-Maqatir. The details correlate perfectly with the biblical account.

Dating of archaeological levels in Israel is typically based on types of pottery. The pottery from the fortress at this site can be dated to about 1500–1400 BC. But pottery dating is somewhat subjective and open to interpretation.

In 2013 we made an unexpected discovery that was named the top find in biblical archaeology that year by Christianity Today. It was an Egyptian scarab dated to the late fifteenth century BC, in agreement with our pottery dating...

In 2014, we discovered a locally made Canaanite scarab from the construction phase of the fortress. The scarab can be dated between 1668 and 1485 BC. Based on the pottery we found, it was probably closer to the end of that period, around 1500 BC.

Gertoux, Gérard. The Pharaoh of the Exodus Fairy tale or real history? Outcome of the Investigation.


The archaeologist Yohanan Aharoni and, more recently, Aaron Burke have observed that the Bible describes the cities of Canaan as being strongly fortified (Shanks: 2012, 36-37). This was true at the end of the Middle Bronze Age (c. -1550), but it was not true at the end of the Late Ancient Bronze Age (c. -1200), when the prevailing view dates the ethnogenesis of Biblical Israel. The German scholars cite Israeli scholar Rivka Gonen as noting that at the end of the Late Bronze Age: the Canaanite towns were frequently unfortified and therefore did not fit the Biblical descriptions well.
