From Daily Mail (caution: tabloid):
In the Book of Revelation, Armageddon is where the apocalyptic final clash between good and evil takes place before a new world is born.
Today known as Tel Megiddo, the site is also where King Josiah, an ancestor of Jesus, was slain by the Egyptian pharaoh, Necho II, according to the Bible. Now the first archaeological evidence has been found to support the tale, after excavations revealed proof of an Egyptian presence at the site during Josiah’s time. Assaf Kleiman of Ben Gurion University, co-author of a new study about the discoveries, said the findings were a ‘big surprise’ for archaeologists.
