Pretty amazing recent discovery: Some solid evidence for an earthquake in the 8th century BC. In the Bible there was a major earthquake referenced during that same time period in Amos and Zechariah:
"The words of Amos, ... in the days of Uzziah king of Judah... two years before the earthquake." (Amos 1:1)
"And ye shall flee [by] the valley of my mountains ... like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah." (Zechariah 14:5)
It's always fun to watch archeology catch up to the Scriptures and even color them for us a little.
