Areopagus (Mars Hill)
Discovered: Athens, Greece

When Paul tarried in Athens during his second missionary journey he was taken by the amount of idolatry evident in the city and preached against it. He was invited to share his ideas with the local thinkers at Mars Hill. Mars Hill was a stony outcropping near the Acropolis where the city council (Areopagus) would meet.

"And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee?"
Acts 17:19

"And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things, I perceive that ye are very religious."
Acts 17:22

Notable Finds

Much of what is described in Bible text is lost to history, requiring readers to assume the historicity of the scriptures.

However, many of the places and events described in the Old and New Testaments are periodically corroborated by archeological finds.

Some finds simply help us to better understand things from the ancient world. However, others provide important evidence as to the truth of scripture regarding things about which there had previously been skepticism.
