Skull Of Biblical Giant Goliath Is Buried On The Hill Golgotha In Jerusalem – New Claim

Conny Waters – AncientPages.com – The existence of Biblical giant Goliath described in the Book of Samuel has not been proven. According to the Biblical account, the Philistine giant Goliath was defeated by the young David with a slingshot and a smooth stone in single combat.

For years researchers have tried to locate the remains Goliath, excavating all across Jerusalem, but no trace of the Biblical giant has been reported.

There are now claims that Goilath’s giant skull is buried on the hill of Golgotha, outside Jerusalem, Israel.

Several researchers put forward a theory insisting there are reasons to search for the giant’s skull in this particular area.

US-based Christian minister Bonnie Nelson, pointed out that both the name of the hill, which could be translated as the Place of the Skull, and the Genesis prophecies support this theory.

“I would say logically, in looking at this stuff, David took the head of Goliath, and buried in Jerusalem on the hill of Golgotha. And that is why it became known as, the hill of the skull. Could it really be that simple?” Nelson said, noting that from her point of view, the Philistine giant represents the “seed of the serpent” predicted by the Bible’s first book, so “if Goliath’s head was buried there it fulfilled Genesis”.
