They Found a 2,000-Year-Old Ring in Samaria — and It Proves Everything

About this episode

Laurie Cardoza-Moore discusses a significant archaeological find in Samaria with experts Itay Granak and Eyal Freiman, highlighting its implications for biblical heritage and identity.

A ring pulled from the ground at Mount Gerizim. Hebrew letters. God's name. Dating to the first century BC — before the Romans renamed this land, before the modern narratives, before the academic boycott that is right now trying to erase what the dirt keeps proving. Laurie Cardoza-Moore sits down at NRB 2026 with Itay Granak, CEO of the Israeli Government Heritage Office, and Eyal Freiman, Head of Archeology in Judea and Samaria. They are excavating Hasmonean fortresses, the ancient palaces of Samaria, the site of Tel Ziph where David and Jonathan met — and they are opening 150 biblical heritage sites in Judea and Samaria to the public before that history is buried not by time, but by ideology. Meanwhile, 3,000 people a day come to the October 7 memorial at Sderot. The world is already starting to forget. This episode is a reminder: the evidence is in the ground. The Hebrew is the same Hebrew spoken today. And the people of God have a biblical obligation to stand with the land and the people of Israel.
