Scientists debunked the myth of the "Biblical miracle"

The description of Joshua's prayer contains the following words: "Joshua called to the Lord on that day, in which the Lord God delivered the Amorites into the hands of Israel, when He defeated them in Gibeon, and they were beaten before the face of the children of Israel, and he said before the Israelites: stand still, sun, over Gibeon, and moon, over the valley of Aijalon! And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies."

According to historical chronicles, this amazing astronomical phenomenon occurred on October 30, 1207 BC.

The mystery that has troubled minds for millennia has finally received a scientific explanation. British physicists Colin Humphreys, working at Cambridge University, and Graeme Waddington from Oxford University have revealed the secret of the "miracle" from the Old Testament Book of Joshua. In their opinion, ancient witnesses observed nothing other than a solar eclipse.

In those distant times, neither scientists nor rulers possessed sufficient knowledge to provide a scientific explanation for this impressive celestial phenomenon, which went down in history as the "sun standing still."
