I'm holding clay from the First Temple period

I'm holding clay from the First Temple period. 3,000 years old. Pulled out of the ground in Jerusalem. In 1999, the Waqf brought bulldozers onto the Temple Mount under the cover of building an underground mosque, and tore out thousands of tons of biblical soil. They dumped it in the Kidron Valley and walked away, an attempt to erase the Bible from the ground it was written on. Two Israeli archaeologists refused to let that happen. They showed up with their own trucks, rescued every fragment they could, and started a project that's still running today: the Temple Mount Sifting Project. Every bucket gets washed, sifted, and searched by hand. One rock at a time. Because once the layers are destroyed, the only way to save the story is to look at every single stone. Every artifact pulled out of this dirt is a fingerprint. Every one of them says the same thing: we were here. The Bible is real.
