Archaeologists in Israeli uncovered a massive fortress dating to the 12th-century BC that matches a structure described in the bible built by Canaanites to fend off invading Philistines. The formation is 60 feet by 60 feet and once included watchtowers and a courtyard when it was formed 3,200 years ago. The team also unearthed hundreds of pottery vessels (bottom inset) during the excavation.
